ting what II has right to expect in
the way Of road improvement. 1t is
well to remember that II for any rea-
son an incompetent man Is placed in
charge Of the work the responsibility
for failure rests upon the community.
There should he no other consideration
therefore In selecting a road overseer
than that of securing a man with the
ability to perform the duties required.
II should be realized that good roads
have much to do with the prosperity
Of community and that united ac
ton In the right direction Is the surest
and quickest way to secure them.
Where the road overseer has had but
little experience in road work or where
some new and difficult problem is pre-
scented to the experienced man the Of
fee Of public roads and rural engineer
Ing OF the department Of agriculture
when requested will offer advice and
suggestions for carrying on the work
and how best to overcome the diff
culties.
To secure a satisfactory road of any
type 1t is absolutely necessary to re
member: First. drainage; second. drain
age. and. third. drainage. The earth
road, properly cared for. will answer
satisfactorily tor the traffic OF many
rural sections that cannot afford the
better types OF roads, but the earth
road must be well drained. After this
fact is well understood two other re-
quIrements may be taken up-the To-
cation of the road and the reduction
Of grades to a general average of per
cent.
With the exception Of sandy roads.
which are easiest for travelling when
damp. all roads must have proper side
bitches to carry away the surface wa
ter. In order to lead this surface wa
ter to the ditch the road surface must
have crown. or rounded roof. highest
In the center and sloping toward the
side bitches. A very easy and satisfac-
tory way to keep earth. clay and
gravel roads crowned by the use OF
the split log drag Is explained In
Farmers Bulletin 597. copies Of which
may be obtained upon application to
the department.
After the road has been crowned and
the crown is kept In condition by the
wise use of the road drag 1t should be
seen to that bitches are kept free from
weeds. etc. and that they are deep
enough to carry OF the water which
runs into them. In most cases wide.
shallow ditch is best. Peep bitches
are dangerous to traffic. At spaces OF
every few hundred feet along the road
way a culvert Of some kind should be
placed to carry away the water which
has gathered IN the bitches.
A road propc-,y built generally VIII
not have an ,verage grade OF more
than S per cent. By ''per cent OF
grade" Is meant the number Of feet the
road rises or climbs for every 100
feet Of its length. On road OF I per
cent grade the horses need pull the
load up rise Of only foot for every
100 feet they travel. It has been found
that where a horse can pull full load
on level ground he is able to pull only
one half that load on 5 per cent grade
and only one-foprth that load on 10
per cent grade. More trips must be
made to and from market on q road
with just one bad hill in order to haul
the same amount that can b hauled
at one trip on level road

Re.euina NapoIeon BY subm.rin..

Rescuing Napoleon by Submarine.
In his book on submarines Frederick
A. Talbot tells us that the submarine
is practically as old as the sailing
ship" though he passes the fact over
with the statement that the majority
Of these efforts were fantastic in con-
ception and crude in design.
The most daring expedition ever sug
gested in the early days of the subma-
rine was that proposed for kidnapping
Napoleon from St Helena. 1t was
suggested to British mariner. Cap
tain Johnson, who was to get 100000
The construction Of the boat was be-
gun. but on the day when the work on
the outer shell Of copper was to be
started Napoleon died.
