The Old Turnpikes.

The first great American highway,
that between New York and Philadel-
phia, was long known as ''the old York
road" It's construction in I'LL was an
example which led the colonists at
other points along the Atlantic sea-
board to construct similar roads where
there were no water routes. They were
usually built by chartered companies
and were called turnpikes or toll roads
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New
Jersey had many roads Of the kind.
The first macadam road In America
was built in 1892 between Philadelphia
and Lancaster. In 1911 there we're
said to be $500 miles of chartered turn
pixies in New England and New York.
During the next twenty years the ma
tional government spent many millions
of dollars in constructing great high
ways, but the panic of 1887 and the
building Of railroads and canals put an
end to that branch of government

GOING ROUND THE WORLD.
The Gain or Loss Of One Whole Day In
MAKING the Trip,

The Gain or Loss Of One Whole Day In
Making the Trip.
In sailing around the world eastward
the days are each little less than
twenty four hours, according to the
speed Of the ship, as the sun is met a
little earlier every morning. These lit
tie differences added together will
amount 10 twenty-four hours This
gives the sailors an extra day-not in
imagination, but as an actual fact
They will have done an extra days
work, eaten an extra days ration of
food and enjoyed an extra nights
sleep.
On the other hand, in sailing west
ward the sun is overtaken a little each
day, and so each day is rather longer
than twenty -four hours. and clocks and
watches are found to be too fast. This
also will amount in sailing around the
world to the point of departure to one
whole day by which the reckoning has
fallen in arrears. The eastern bound
ship, then, has gained a day. and the
western bound ship has last one.
This strange fact, clearly worked out,
leads to the apparent paradox that the
first named ship has a gain of two
whole days over the latter. IL we sup
pose them to have departed from port
and returned together. - Westminster

A Terrible Engine Of Death Which
Works tomaticaIly.
Early In life Hiram Maxim showed
himself marvellous genius as an In
ventor. An incident Of his boyhood, in
which the recoil of rife attracted his
attention to an apparent loss of pow
er, led him in 1872 to utilize the force
Of the recoil to good account in a gun
which loads itself automatically and
fires at the rate of ITO shots a minute
by the power Of the previously wasted
force.
The Maxim machine gun Is an en-
CINE of terrible destruction. This gun
has only single barrel, which, when
the shot ID fred. recoils the distance of
three-quarters Of an inch ON the other
parts of the gun. This recon sets NOV
ing the machinery which automatical-
ly keeps up a continuous fire at the ex-
traordinary rate Of twelve rounds a
second.
Each recoil of the barrel has there
fore to perform the necessary functions
Of extracting and ejecting the empty
cartridge, Of bringing up the next full
one and placing 1t In its proper posi-
ton In the barrel, of cooking the ham,
mer and pulling the trigger.
AS long as the firing continues these
functions are repeated round after
round In rapid succession. The barrel
is provided with water jacket to pre-
vent excessive heating.-Philadelph
