TOOK GOLDFISH TO CIRCUS

Along.

shopping.~ explained our neignbor,
and I've been laughing ever since.
There was an awful crowd on The
streets, and it wasn't Saturday. so |
didn't know what was the matter.
But clerk in a store told me that
the circus was IN town. To think
I'd forgotten that-and missed the
parade, tool But it was too late to
think about circuses, so finished my
shopping and got some ice cream and
then went to the station TO get the
$3.50 for home.
There was quite a crowd in the
depot-people going nome from the
circus, mostly. / noticed one WON
an all dressed IN her best, and care
fully holding a covered tin pail on ner
lap. Every now and then she would
take the cover off, look in. and then
put the cover on again. Then another
woman came in and spoke to the WON
an with the pail.
Well, did you nave a good timer
she said. And what are you taking
home-something good to eat?'
No, smiled the other, I'll bet you
can't guess what I've got in this pail.
so I'll show you. And she removed
the cover.
'Goldfish!' exclaimed the woman,
taking look. Did you buy them here

THESE are the ones l had at

to leave them with, so brought them

land. Firmness is secured, if the road
has been properly drained by making
certain that the roadbed is thoroughly
compact. The subgrade must be re-
peatedly rolled and reshaped until the
desired grade is secured.
Strong, desirable curbing is neces-
sary for all brick pavements in order
to prevent the marginal brick from be-
coming displaced. which event would
result in deterioration. finally spread
ing over the entire pavement.
One of the most essential factors of
brick pavement is firm foundation
upon which to lay the brick. The inn
portance of this is evident when one
considers that the ability of pavement
to resist wear depends upon the
smoothness of the pavement and a
firm foundation. If the foundation is
poor one of the bricks may be easily
forced down, causing unevenness' in
the surface. Where the traffic is com
paratively light and the subgrade
composed of material that does not
readily absorb water, broken stone
may make a satisfactory base. For
heavier traffic or where the material
composing the subgrade is at all I'M
stable a concrete base is necessary.
The stone base should be constructed
much as in the case of hrst-class
macadam roads. Concrete bases may
be constructed of concrete composed
of l part Portland cement, parts of
sand and from to parts of broken
stone or screened gravel. Above the
concrete base 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 inches thick, though in some
cases it may be only III. 1t is impor-
tant to have the sand clean and dry.
After the brick has been laid upon
this cushion and the pavement gone
over carefully to remedy all defects
and remove all imperfect material, it
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

German Ingenuity.

The German engineering corps has
been successful in many instances in
their efforts to build bridges when
faced by a strong fire of small guns.
In war it was found that bridge build
ing was difficult except under cover of
darkness, because the builders we're
always in the open and subject to the
fire of the enemy on the rivers farther
bank. The German officers by the-use
of a new waterproof suit with a life
preserver about it's middle were able
to send men into the water The men
pushed a floating bulwark of boards
and steel before them. Under cover
Of this protection they padded about
and built the bridge.

from chipping. OF the various mate
rails used for this purpose a grout
made of equal portions of Portland ce
ment and sand mixed with water is
recommended. Sand alone is some
times used because of its cheapness,
but it is open to several objections
and it's 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
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-filled 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 Que
half to one and one-quarter inches
thick, varying with the width of the
pavement.

various problems the new bulletin

Paving bricks should be uniform in
size, reasonably perfect in shape,
tough in order to resist crushing, hard
in order to resist abrasion, and uni
formly graded in order that the pave
ment may wear evenly
A more important test is known as
the RATHER or abrasion test. In this
the bricks are subjected to destructive
influences similar to those encoun-
tered in actual service, and the effects
resemble those which traffic may be
expected to produce upon the COM
pleted pavement. Briefly the test con-
sists of inclosing 10 dried bricks in a
steel barrel in which there are also
placed number of cast-iron spheres.
Ten of these spheres weigh each III
pounds. Enough smaller ones weigh
ing a little less than a pound are
added to make the total weight APP
proximately 300 pounds. The barrel
is then revolved at the rate of 80 reyoi
lutions a minute for an hour. At the
end of that time the bricks are taken
out and weighed and their loss. in
weight ascertained. In this test good
raving brick will lose from Is to "a

Equally important with the char
acter of the brick is the character OF
the roadbed on which it is to be laid

arc thorough drainage, frmness. uni

Believe Oil shir Sunk.

Great quantities of floating oil have
been coming into st. Andrews bay, and
for more than ten miles deposits of
oil were made along the coast. 1t is
not petrol, but thicker oil, and has
caused no little inconvenience to bath
ers. The worst sufferers are sea birds,
scores of which had their feathers so
clogged with oil as to render them
helpless. Large numbers of both old
and young birds have been driven
ashore dead, while many others, alive
but unable to move, lie on the beach

School board from paying the ex-

won, the only defendant who escaped
being r. Beecher Howell of the water
board. whose case, District Judge Troup
said, was different from those of Com

The fourth suit was to prevent Doug
