Air Craft as Storm Refuge.

1t might almost be said that one Of
the safest places to be in during a
thunderstorm Is an air craft floating
free in the air. as the electric fluid will
almost assuredly obey the powerful
attraction of the earth. Captive bal
looms. however, are quite another
thing. the steel cables by which they
are connected to the earth making
them exceptionally liable to be struck
during an electric storm.-Pa1 Mall

considers u<ut the ability of pavement
to resist wear depends upon the
smoothne--. of the pavement and
firm foundation. If the foundation is
poor one sa the bricks may be easily
forced down, causing unevenness in
the surfae~ Where the traffic is COM
paratively ght and the subgrade
composed ~ material that does not
readily abAxfb water, broken stone
may make ~ satisfactory base. For
heavier trafsc or where the material
composing the subgrade is at all I'M
stable a conrrete base is necessary.
The stone base should be constructed
much as Ia the case of frst-class
macadam ROADS. Concrete bases may
be constructed of concrete composed
of part Portland cement, parts of
sand and fruun to Z parts of broken
stone or scr~ened gravel. Above the
concrete ba@e a sand cushion to cor
rect slight irregularities and to secure
an even surface for the brick is most
desirable This cushion is usually
two inc1hss thick, though in some
cases it may be only u. 1t is impor-
tant b. have the sand clean and dry.
liter the brick has been laid upon
this cushion and the pavement gone
over carefully to remedy all defects
and remove all imperfect material, 1t
should be rolled with heavy power
roller, gone over carefully once more,
and the joints then filed with some
material to prevent the brick edges
from chipping. Of the various mate
rails used for this purpose a grout
made of equal portions of Portland &C.
ment and sand mixed with water is
recommended. Sand alone is some
times used because of it's cheapness,
but it is open to several objections
and its use in the end is probably not
economical. Portland cement grout,
on the other hand, binds the individ-
ual bricks together and converts the
pavement into what is practically a
monolith. Before the grout is ap-
piled the pavement should be swept
clean and be kept moist by gentle
sprinkling during the application, of

TEST FOR WHITE DIARRHEA
Chicks Too Small for Market, of Slow
Growth and Feathering Might
Well Be Killed Off.

If you have chicks now coming on
old enough to be on the market, and
yet too small for such purpose, runts
of slow growth and slow feathering,
you might Just as well kill them
off and not hope they will yet take
a start, for no doubt but they are
carrying the germs of bacillary white
diarrhea. Not all by any means that
take this disease show the bowel
looseness.
F1ocks suspected of having mem
bers in it infected with this disease
are now being tested for it by the
Connecticut agricultural college. The
testing is done by little blood being
drawn from a vein in one wing of
each fowl. This blood is mixed with
a serum to be put by for a few days.
The mixture is labeled. and the fowl
is given same label In a few days
the eye. without need OF a Uicro-
scope tells rbether this seru~. and
blood mixture shows any trace If the
disease.

which there should be two. At the
end of the second application the
grout should completely fill the joints
flush with the tops of the joints. The
final step is to cover the completed
pavements with a one-inch layer of
fine earth. This is done to protect the
pavement from the weather and to
keep it in moist condition while the
grout is hardening.
The objection frequently made to
the grout-flled brick pavement-that
it is extremely noisy-may be over
come by the proper use of longitudinal
expansion cushions placed alongside
the curb. These expansion cushions
are bituminous layers from one
half to one and one-quarter inches
thick, varying with the width of the
pavement.
In addition to the description of the
various problems the new bulletin
contains in an appendix complete typi-
cal specifications for the construction

Work of Japanese Girls.

For Japan's coronation ceremony Of
taishosal next November 27 pretty
young women have been assisting in
transplanting the young emerald rice
plants in the sacred fields of the
Mikawa province. Half way to their
knees in water, they toiled daily, like
their less privileged sisters, at the
work. Bending down, they laid the
tiny shoots in place, and rising, sang
sacred Shinto songs, for the rice
grains of the rare festival must be
perfect in shape and color-true
seed pearls of the Way of the Gods.
The girls are from sixteen to twenty
one years old. OF these things the
papers took note. The photographers
snapped them in their coming and do
ing and going. Not only from the
neighborhood but from afar have
come insistent marriage proposals,
and all but one are said to be en-
gagged and are to be married the day
of the coronation.

Narcotic Cactus.

The sacred mushroom" of the Az
tees, which was called by them teo-
naniacatl and used as an intoxicant was
according to Investigations recently
reported, not mushroom, but the mar
cotic cactus, Lophophora Williamsii,
now we'll known for it's use by the
American Indians in religious ceremo-

BUTTON" though a better name is pey-
ote. Early writer's on Mexico de-
scribed it as a mushroom, and this no.
ton as to it's botanical status still sur
wives. The mistake is due to the fact
that in one of the two principal forms
in which it is prepared the head of the
plant is cut off transversely and when
dried it bears a close resemblance to
a mushroom. In It's other form it is
cut longitudinally or in irregular frag
ments, and was described by early
writer's as raiz diabolica. or devils
