Water-Soaked Roadway in Nevada.

serves as q diversion drain. Some
times a short concrete dip is used for
the purpose Of passing the water over
the road in Il compa ratively wide and
shallow flow instead Of under it. A
dip is simply a pavement extending
the full width Of the roadway and
projected at each edge against Under
mining by n cutoff wall extending is
inches below the bottom of the pave
ment. Instead of attempting to build
up a grade for this pavement, SO as
to raise it above the flood water. the
dip follows the grade of tie wash. and
the water passes over it in time Of
food. Where the deltas are so wide
and the country so undevelcped as to
make the cost of a concrete dip excess
sive, the dips are surfaced with gray

ed by a concrete cutoff wall. In con
nectiOn with these drainage dips Il V
shaped system of bikes and bitches Is

improved Airplane Propeller.

Announcement is made in the Times
Of the invention of an improved type
Of airplane propeller whereby engine
power necessary for driving the air
plane will be lessened and the vibra-
ton of the machine will be much re-
duced. The new type Of propeller
arises from the addition of a number
of veins or fiangas made of alumni
num to the existing type of propeller.
These veins are about 6 inches in
height and run parallel across the sur
face of the propeller at a distance of
about n foot from each other. There
are eight at the drive side, four at
each end of the blade. ana six on the
wind side i'm similar position. 1t is
claimed that by this arrangement the
air is properly directed past the pro
peller blade faces, with the result that
there is an avoidance Of the air losses
from the blade ends. which through
natural causes take place in the pres
ent type of propeller. making possible
a maximum thrust with a minimum
expenditure of power.

HAVE HERITAGE or HONESTY
stinctively That II 10 Wrong
to Commit Theft.

Il knew from q child that it was
wrong to STEAL" said a very successful
man, who has made a fortune without
being q crook.
That is what saves the world" re-
piled an editor to whom he was talk
ing. Thank heaven, all boys are
honest. They never become crooks till
they are men,"
That statement Is not perfectly. al
though in q large measure. true. While
children. II trained by scoundrels, will
steal. they know in%stinctively that
stealing Is wrong. They would much
rather be straight.
h theft Of apples o. watermelOns
or peaches committed by youngsters
Is mischief. Show them that 1t Is real
ly stealing, that they are depriving
someone else of what Is rightfully his,
and there will be no more climbing
over back fences for them.
One Of the reasons that this is not
a difficult world In which to live Is that
honesty Is Instructive. and theft has to
be cultivated.
The average schoolboy despIses q
thief. and will have nothing to do with
him. II he reads in the newspapers
OF an absconder or a forger or a man
who misappropriates a trust, the lad
is shocked and Disguised. 1t is only
when he becomes hardened by contact
with the world, and learns that men
often prosper, even though they are
dishonest, that he becomes hardened
and iustifies his own misdeeds.
Watch a crowd Of boys at games,
and you will find that the cheat is al
ways marked and barred from the
game if he continues to cheat.
The cheat himself was not a cheat
always. He has learned cheating from
another boy. who in all likelihood
learned ii from a man.
AS long rs we start honest, as most
of US do. the great percentage of us
are likely to remain so. Only those
who are weak fall from their stand
ards. and ven they, when the race
is over. heartily regret that they yer
were anything but fair and clean and
open minded i'm their dealings with
their fellows.

Palaces for $40 a Month.

Costly marble palaces, erected in
the Sixteenth century by Dutch mer-
chants on the all-but-fOrgotten isles
Of the South seas, are for rent at two
pounds ten shillings a month, approx
imately $40. according to letters re-
ceived by Sydney newspapers from
mariners and itineran. merchants.
The letters were in answer TO a re-
quest for information made by an
English novelist, who is visiting Aus
tralia In search for a forgotten island
Of romance i'm the Banda sea.
One Of the letters gave details OF
the island Of Banda Neira, where
merchants erected palaces, now for
rent at $40 monthly, out Of the pro-
ceeds Of their flOurishing nutmeg and
other spice plantations in the Six
tecnth century.

cd of dyeing them. The larger parts
OF the r We're known, hut the
delicate thread-like prolongations OF
the neurons- those telegraph wires
that connect the brain and spinal cord
with every remotest part Of the body

ago, when they were first made Wis
ible.
This was the result of the discovery
by Golgi, the famous Italian anato-
