How Romans Built Roads.

Two thousand years ago the Ro-
mans built roads, some of which are
still in active service. These roads
have lasted through the centuries sim
ply because of their massive cOnstruc.
tion. The Romans built four success
I've courses or layers on an earth sub
grade. carefully prepared and drained.
First came the statumen or founda-
ton, then the rOdius, next the nucleus
end finally the pavimentum or wear
Ing surface. The statumen and paw
mentum consisted Of large fiat stones,
while the two intervening courses
were built Of smaller stones laid in
lime mortar. To carry the chariot
and packhorse traffic of Roman times,
these roads were seemingly ridiculous.
Iy heavy, yet the wisdom of the build.
ers was amply demonstrated by the
300 years during which the Roman
road system formed the backbone Of
the transportation system of the an
cicnt eiupire.

Skiddinu Is Overcoms.

Attention is called In circular re.
port from Sydney, Australia, to new
invention of front-drive vehicle
which entirely prevents skidding. A
test over 10000 miles of rough road
has been made, 1t is claimed, with no
signs of wear. The front wheels are
pivOted in the center, which enables
the steering of the car with much
greater ease than In the rear-wheel-
driven machine. The device Is now
attached to an old worn British car
which, prior to the attachment Of the
device, weighed 80 cwt., with speed
of thirty-eight miles an hour travelling
fifteen miles on one gallon Of gasoline.
After alteration and application Of the
front drive device, the car weighs 30
cwt., has a speed of fOrty-fve miles
an hour and will go seventeen and one
half miles on single gallon Of gaso-
line.

PAPER FROM VENEER WASTE
How Much Material That Has Hereto.
fore Been Thrown Away Is
....te Now Utilized.

In the wood waste from veneer fac
tories the United States forest prod
ucts laboratory sees considerable raw
material suitable for the manufacture
of high grades of paper. The cores
of many kinds of veneer logs, now
used In large part for fue:, make ex-
cellent pulpw0od. In addition, large
part of the clippings could be turned
into pulp stock with profit.
Among the veneer woods whose
waste has paper-making possibilities.
comments the Scientific American, arc
red gum, yellow poplar, cottonwood.
birch, tupelo, Eastwood and beech.
Many veneer factories cutting these
species are already within shipping
distance Of pulp mills. In certain 9th
err cases veneer factories are so
grouped that they might furnish pulp
wood enough to warrant the erection
Of centrally located mill. Other eco
nolnic factors being favorable, such Il
mill could proftably operate on a
daily supply of veneer waste equlva-
lent to 80 cords of ordinary pulpwOod.

Orjuinal Galoshes.

The fashionable galoshes that are
now Tapping about the ankles OF
pretty girls were first introduced In
America about 1880 In Boston. The
galoshes or boots were as ugly and
clumsy as they are today, but were
even more popular. They required
peculiar care, as the manufacturers
had little knowledge of the use OF
rubber gum. In winter they froze
hard and stiff, and had to be thawed
out before they could be worn, and
care had to be taken not TO thaw
them too well, or they would run into
q sticky mass. In the summer they
got sticky and shapeless unless kept
on ice and taken out during a rain
storm only. No one who was anyone
thought his or her toilet complete
without a pair. They had to be
watched carefully, for once they start
ed to rot the smell was terrible, and
It was necessary to take them out and
bury them. ~, ,.

II teacher in public school In
the Philippines desires to punish
child, she doesn't have to apply the
ruler. She simply sentences the o1fend-
Ing pupil to remain away from school

This is the most severe punishment
she can inflict, for Filipino children
take an almost abnormal pleasure In
going to school and acquiring an edu-
cation. The all-1Ilipino legislature, in
response to the popular demand for
SCHOOLS, and still more schools" Is
constantly increasing Its appropria-
lions for education, but the schools can
scarcely be constructed fast enough to
care for the ever-increasing enrolment.
The school enrolment is now $4,000
without any compulsory attendance
laws. When Dewey sailed into Manila
Bay there were 2,100 private schools
in the islands. Today there are $500
schools and colleges, with 1900 Fill
pinO teachers and about 1000 other
teachers, 341 Of whom are Americans
The University of the Philippines Is
the center of learning Of the entire
Orient, and is the pride OF the Fill
pino people. 1t has an enrolment OF

sity of Manila, older than Harvard, Is
another famous seat Of learning.
The school system includes normal
schools, agricultural colleges, twenty
seven farm schools, nautical school
and q school for the deaf and blind.
The Filipino pupil, in addition to
learning English and in addition to his
regular studies. learns basket making

Some seven and a half million dol

the British information service of the
Bankers Trust company, the ministry
of transportation contributes one-haif
of the cost-probably out of funds ac-
cumulated for that purpose for many
years by the development commission
and lends to the municipalities the

How


MUSIC CAN BE USED TO
OVERCOME SHELL SHOCK.
The Society of Vocal Therapy
was founded two years ago in
England to provide teachers for
the instruction of soldiers and
ex-soldiers in breathing and sing
ing under medical supervision.
At the second annual meeting of
Z the society, Lieut.. Col. Sir Fred
erick Mott gave an. address on
the influence of music on body
and mind.
He said that early In the war
two cases of shell shock in which
there was complete loss of mem
, DRY came under his notice. which
showed that musical memory re-
turned earlier than other forms
Of memory-Or, rather, the pow
er of recollecting past expert
ences. He found that soldiers
suffering with shock who had
been singers or players Of the
plano were able to remember
and sing songs or play pieces
they had learned on the piano,
and yet could not remember ex-
periences connected with their
daily vOcations or surroundings.
Again, men who were mute from
the same cause would at con-
cert suddenly regain their speech
by joining in the chorus of some
well-knOwn song. OF all the
arts, music appealed most to the
emotions, and probably words
associated with music were
more stably organized in the
mind, owing to the musical ORR
gin of the language of the emo
tons.
He quoted the case Of SOL
der who suffered from aphasia
following gunshot wound of
the left side Of the brain. The
bullet passed through the speech
center and also blinded him. He
understood what was said to
him, but could express Judgment
only by "Ah" and "Oot," which
correspondent to Eyes" and mo"
He could, however, sing sever
al songs through without diff
Guilty, provided the first word or
bar of the music was given to
him. When the song ""Tis n
Long Way to Tipperary" was
hummed to him, he started the
well-known chorus, winding up
with: Are we downhearted?
No." But on being then asked
to say "Tipperary," he replied:
loot" and could not utter any
of the words. A month later he
could speak.
