THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG. COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.1
ROAD MENDING IN FRANCE.
Bow the lllrjbw.j. or tha It.pablto Are
Kept In Order.
Mr. Joseph Fcnnoll given (ho following
interesting account In Harper's Weekly
of road mending In Franoei
After tho road lias been constructed
0011103 tha Important part tho mending
of It. As has been said, this is most
costly. So marvelously is it done In
Franco that I cau scarcely expect any
ono to bellovo tho statements I am about
to make. Tho groat military roads of
France, Lcs Routes Nattonnlos, radlato
from tho largo cities like, tho spokes of a
wheel.
Thoyara all marked with kilometer
stones, a kllometro being about flvo
eighths of a mile. The etoncs aro about
two feet and a halt high, a foot and a
half broad, and a foot thick. As you
approach the first stono you wilt notlco
on the side nearest you tho name of the
next important town, with its dlstanco
In kilometers and meters. On its face,
following tho lines of Its semicircular
top, you will read grando routo number
so and so, and below tho name of the
great city from which it starts and tho
great city to whloh it goes, say Paris and
Marseilles, and the actual dlstanco to
each by this road. On tho other side is
tho dlstanco from the large town from
which you started.
Every hundred motors you will sco a
neat little white stono with the number
Inscribed on it. As thoro nro a thousand
meters in a kilometer, there, nro ten of
these stones, and when you come to each
you can tell exactly the distance you
have made. Tho fifth stono,whlch marks
tho half way distance between tho two
kilometer stones, is usually a Ultlo larger
than tho others. As you pass from one
of the elghty-slx departments of Franco
into another you will seo a larger stone
marking the boundary lino and record
ing the dlstanco to many important
points. If the gradient becomes at all
steep, the fact will bo announced some
what as It is at tho side of a railway, and
there are several other marks used by
the engineers which I do not understand.
On the first house In each village ap
proaching from cither end you will find
tho name of that vlllago clearly written
in white letters on a bluo ground on a
metal plate, the name of tho vlllago you
have just left, with tho dlstanco, an ar
row pointing in its direction, the name
of the one you are coming to and tho
names of the nearest large cities both
ways. At all cross roads you will And
the same information. The kilometer
tones themselves are painted white, and
tho numbers and names are cut into the
stone to protect them from tho rain, and
painted black.
The roadway is wide enough for two
or three teams to pass. Beyond is a
sweep of beautifully kept grass, and be
yond again two great deep gutters, out
side of which is a bank of earth higher
than the fields which it bounds, keeping
all the water, if there Bhould bo any,
back in the fields and off the roads.
Every hundred feet or so, cut In tho
'grass by taking the turf out, Is a small
nutter, through which any water which
may fall in the road is drained into the
deeper gutter. As you ride along you
will seo that tho road fs divided by mova
ble tin signs with cantonniers on them.
Near these signs, which are usually
about a mtlo or two apart, you will find
a man breaking stones small enough to
go through a two and a half Inch ring,
piling tho broken stono up In a symmet
rical mass llko a houso roof, which must
exactly fit into a skeleton frame thecan
tounler places over it. These stone
breakers aro at work spring, summer
and autumn.
Other men will be picking up the drop
ping on the road, putting them In a
wheelbarrow, in another part of which
Is fresh sand to sprinklo over the place,
and they oarry rakes and brooms to touch
up any imperfections on the surface, for
such a thing as a loose stone or a lump
of dirt is almost unknown. Having
gathered anything whloh may have
fallen from passing carts or wsgons
for the horses' hoofs do not kick up the
surface of the road, nor do the wheels
grind into it each goes over the whole
of his allotted space with a broom about
ten feet long, sweeping off the sand,
which is taken away and stored for fu
ture use or sold.
This is kept up daily from April till
October, and so thoroughly that, though
I have traveled over tho roads of France
in both the wettest and driest summers
and autumns, I have never found half an
inch of dust or mud on the Qrandes
Routes. The cantonniers, when any dis
tance from villages or towns, have houses
in which they live, and they go to their
work morning and evening between tho
magnificent avenues of poplars in the
north, of oypresses in the south, of syca
mores, which line so many roads of the
Midi. It is absurd to say the roads aro
like those of a park, for in no park out of
Franco are they equaled.
The Shape for Road Surface).
The. shape to be given a road surface
has been a subject of much discussion.
In order to get a good water shed, an es
sential to long wear, many roads have
been made so rounding in the center as
to be uncomfortable to vehicles. It is
now generally conceded that the cross
section should be a curve and that the
height of a road should be one-sixtieth
of its width, that is, a roadbed thirty
feet wide, should be six Inches higher in
the center than at the sides.
At a recent meeting of the New Jersey
board of agriculture Mr, Frank Keefe, of
Mercer county, In a paper on road mak
ing, recommended that where the ex
pense can be borne asphalt be used)
where stone is plenty, a Telford road:
where districts are thinly settled, a six
inch bed of stone covered with a two
Inch layer of gravel. lie also recom
mends especial oaro in maintaining roads
after they are built, and suggests the
giving of prizes by the state each year to
the counties having tho best roads.
The associated ovcllnir clubs ot Phila
delphia huve voted to appropriate a suf
ficient sum to sond each Philadelphia
councilman a copy of "Roads and Road
Making" and "Uity BtreeU."
Dr. Parr anil the Peasants Ben Jonson's
yaicK Wit-
Dr. Parr (the celebrated scholer) was
onco preaching in tho country parish
of another clergyman, and, as was his
habit, used learned language. The
reotor afterward said to nim: "ihoy
said Dr, Parr; "I am sure there was
nothing in my sermon which they
could no comprehend." "Well," said
the rootor, "I will call one of them in

in a laboring inan, and said: "John,

said JOUU, "dui i ueuevo it is some
cart of tho inside of a pik."
Lord Craven onoe invited Bon Jon-

that be has always been reguanled as
an ofliclal debtor to the Govermcnt to
the amount of $19,000; and it has been
0110 of tho chief sorrows of General
Fremont's later years that ho was uu
able to square this balance against him
a record of which was iu t'io ollico of
the Third Auditor of the Treasury,
The other day Gonoral Fremont call

trembling tones stated to Colouel Gilk
erson that his unanoial circumstances
aro sucli that if his salary as a retired
Major General were rotained, to meet
this alleged shortage ho would bo for
sometime in actual want. At his re
quest tho Second Comptroller investi
gated the accounts aud greatly to his
surprise discovered that instead of

Uulted States, the Goverment had act

error ne naa not been credited with a
voucher for $21,000, whioh he had ex-
pended under the direction of the War
Department.
When General Fremont called acain
to ask Colonel Gilkerson whether some
