Brick Roads.

The experience of the last few years,
in which the character of traffic on the
public highways has changed so re-
markably and so rapidly, proves that
brick is the best paving material now
known for country roads, says the
Columbus co. Journal. Brick roads
cost more to build than macadam or
concrete, but they last so much longer
that they must be cheaper i'll q term of
years. A brick road surface properly
laid at the right season of the year re-
quires almost no attention and is prac-
tically indestructible
Macadam. on the other hand. has
proved its unsuitability for present day
traffic Some of the fine macadam roads
in this country built only two or three
years ago are worn out already. They
must be worked on almost all the time
to keep them free from holes and ruts
They simply cannot stand up under thu
strain put upon them by automobiles
Concrete as country road pavement
is still more or less in the experimental
stage. 1t is cheaper than brick, but il
does not seem able to withstand the
freezing and thawing Of spring and
fall. and cracked and scanned concrete
road is a miserable thing and danger
Gus. In the light of present knowledge
brick is by all odds the most satisfac
tory paving material for country roads

VAST AREA OF TEXAS.

Some of the Magnificent Distances In
the Lone Star State.
Those who live in the east and north
have little or no conception Of the mag
nificencc Of distances in Texas. Here
are just few figures that will help to
illustrate the vastness Of area of the
Lone Star State.
The distance from Houston to Ell
Paso by the nearest rail route is 1888
miles, which is only ia miles less than
the distance from New York to Chi
cago, 947 miles.
1t Is $40 miles by rail from San Anto-
MO to El Paso. This is Id miles
greater than the distance from Chicago
to Pittsburgh.
The distance from Echo, Tex, the
most eastern point ON a direct railroad
route. to Ell Paso, is Ola miles, or three
miles less than the distance from New
York to Chicago.
The distance from Brownsville. Tex.
OH the gulf coast. the eaSternmost
point on the Texas-Mexitan border. to
Ell Paso, the western terminus of the
border. Is more than 1000 miles. This
Is greater than the distance from Now
