m-mssgm xg$FWjl--- T THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. FKIDAT, APRIL 1." 18921' W PROPHECY ON ROADS. Appalling Estimates Upon tlie Cost of Bock Thoroughfares. THE IDEAS OP AN ENGINEER. The United States Considered as a Builder of Stone Tiles. AN IRON TRACK HIGHWAY ADVOCATED IWKITIE2J FOR THE DISPATCH. Let us look this road problem right in the faee and see what it is that confronts us. There are about 2,500 counties in the United States, and if they had an average of 100 miles of improved road per county, much the greater part of the country would still remain unprovided for. If good, durable stone pikes are to be constructed, it may be in order to observe that some entire States are practically stoncless at least so far as having limestone is concerned. In a general way. taking the most favored State, 100 miles of road per county could not be put in order at less than fC,000 per mile. At this figure, which is away inside, as to the whole country, the 2,500 counties with 100 miles of stone pike each, would cost the sum ot $1,500,000,000. But if, as a whole, the cost should be 10,000 per mile, then the outlav would reach the appalling agregate of 2,;00,000, 000, or nearly ?40 for each man, woman and child in the entire country. Consequently, a general system of piking the roads of the United States would involve at least an outlay of 57,500,000,000, or 5120 per capita. 31 lies ot Railroad to Haul the Slono. To do this would require the construction of tens of thousands ol miles of railroads to haul the vtone, and it is a fact that all the visible road stone in the United States that is, the lisible stone that can be got at would not suffice tor 10 per cent of the road. There are adtocatcs of stone pikes who tell us what the Romans did, and what the English and the 1'rench haie done. Certain ly, the vast resources of the Koman Empire could be thrown into some hundreds ot miles of roads and so could England and Prance, which are powerful nations, make the roads stone over a small area, but both could almost play hide and seek in Texas and not go much bevond the boundaries. It It is pertinent to an understanding of the situation to ascertain how uianv miles or how large an area with reference to how large a population and in what time those roads were nmde. Then, climate has alo to be considered, also the important fact that sandstone is absolutely useless, as a good material. The limestone would nearlv all have to quarried and mot of it be hauled more than a thousand mile. The Goernment of the United States was once in the national pike making business, and threw up the job in discust. When it came to wagoning limestone 40 miles when the wear and tear on the road, in hauling a load of stone to its destination, was ac tually more than the load of stone could make good, the Federal Government saw that 'a condition and not a theory" con- fronted it. It washed its hands, brushed the dust from its shoes and has not meu tioned the word "pike" in 50 years. Stone Will Not Make the future Road. That there will be an improved road in the near future there can be no doubt, but it will never be, and it should not be, a roadwav made of stone. Such a road, aside from the vast expenditure of money in oledin its construction, does not in an v manner accord with the spirit of the ace; it is gross, crude, barbaric, cumbersome and out of all alignment with modern progress. But why? Simply for the reason that loads that are transported on wheels rest theiravoirdupois on thesesments of circles. Such loads bear on their foundations, and the pressure bear ing on these iegments compels them to cut, and the stone roadway, being formed of tens of thousands ol pieces, between which there can neier be complete homogeneity, unless secured with the verv best cement, yields to this cutting action of these short secments; increased resistance has to be encountered, and the roadwav is soon cut and plowed to destruction. This is especially the case when frost leases the ground. It is not the tramping of the quadruped that hurts the road, but the wheels of the vehicle that cut into and through it. The tramping action of the hoof is en tirely dissimilar to the continuous cutting action of the whceL Each requires its own special proision, and the paramount thing to consider and to provide is a proper and absolutely unyielding surface lor the wheels. Metallic Tracks for the Wheels. It seems incredible when one looks at the methods ol transportation throughout the world, where speed and great weight are considered, and sees one ceneral principle underlj ing all railways, street car ways and tramroads, that these things donotconey at least a hint of what must come. A metallic track for the wheels is first, foremost and in every case the prime factor; n ho, under the sun, would for one minute advocate a stone wheelway for such service? "When the stone pike road agitators ha e cudgeled their brains a century or tuo longer the fact may becin to daw'n on their mental vision that a track for the wheels is the foremost and prime requirement in a road, and the mere provision for the hoof is then an easy and simple matter. Even if there n ere nothinc done for the horse, as reeards hisihootway, a vast service would be done the. animal in putting his load on unyielding iron, which could resist all segmentary action, and which would tax his strength lrom CO to Tp per cent less than mud. Then, with a solid wheclwav, the transportation of suitable material for merely collateral purposes becomes so sim ple as to take it away from all comparison with the hauling of thousands of "tons of stone per mile involved in a pike and over the worst of all surfaces to haul on during construction. One-third of 510,000 per mile will bnild an iron track road almost anywhere in the United States, a far better road, a road that can be made in 10 per cent ot the time re quired for a good macadamized road, a road involving less repair, a road that is possible and one that is in keeping with the spirit of modern progress. I ar Superior to AH Kinds of Gravel. For fine, rapid, smooth, noiseless and dustlcss driving, for speeding horses, for bicycle riding, for pedestrianisra, for hard propelling nichines, the iron track plan of road, with its six or eight inch wide.slightly concave bars, is far superior to anj thing on the Telford, McAddtn, dirt or gravel method. This system, which is bound to come, will relieve the iron industry of its congested conditiou, as a new field will be opened, calling for many millions of tons of that great utilitarian metal, and cverv dollar of the outlay will be guaranteed a good return in the enhanced value of the realty of the country and in the greater, steadier and easier earning capacity which substantial and permanent roads would assure. The loss to the country in unperformed labor by reason of bad roads is well-nigh incalculable. The writer can assure those who are in terested in better roads that this is no ill conceived chimerical dream, but a simple, practical, economical method which readily falls within the lines of demonstration. But he does not believe that the time is yet ripe for an improved road, nor that it will be much before the commencement of the twentieth century. But once inaugurated, the iron road, with the interests it can en list and vith the rapidity its construction will admit of, will belt the country with its iron bands as did the telephone with its wires. N. TWEEDLEDEE AHD TWEEDLEDUM. Irfw Church Girls Forbidden to Assemble In a High Church. Chicago, March 31. Whether or not to at tend the annual convention of the Girls' Friendly Society is a question which is exer cising the branch of that bodv attached to St. James' Episcopal Church. The old diffi culty between high church and low church has oncci more forced itself Into prominence, tho lepresentatives of the two schools of thought belnc represented by the Eev. Floyd TomVins, of St. James' Church, and Father Larrauee, of the Church of tho As cension. Four times a year delegates from each of tho eleven branches of the society meet. At one of these meetings the place of meeting of the annual convention is se lected. At the last meeting of the council Miss Man- C Larrabee. on behalf of tho rec tor of the Church of tho Ascension, ten dered that edifice as the location for the contention. Father Larrabee's views are well under stood, and in addition it was expressly stated at the time when the offer was made that hhjh church ritual would prevail at the services of the convention. It was known that tho eucharlst w ould bo received by the celebrant iciriouslv for the congregation. Nevertheless the offer was accepted by all the urinches without exception. It is said that Bishop McLaien's consent had been obtained. In spite ot this tho Rev. Floyd Tomklns has entirely foi bidden the mem bers ot his branch to attend the convention, and they aie in a quandary as to what course should be pursued. Mr. Tomkini considers the vicarious leceivinz of the sacrament as contrary to the iubnc of the church, and will not be a party to any such violation of Episcopal ordinance. GOING TO VOTE LIKE KEff.

At a spiritualistic meeting held to-day Isabella Beecher Hooker, a younger sister of tho famous preacher, and wife ot Jolm Hooker.. Auditor General of the State of Connecticut, an swuied the sensational query as to Heniy Ward BeechciS beliei in spiritualism in the aflhmative. In an address she slid she came to believe in spiritualism in Pans, in 1S71, w fcen an apparition appeared to her. With a brief refetence to her distinguished biother, she said that recently she had le celved a communication tromhis spllit in thesa words: "Belle, I was a coward. I knew the truth and believed it, but had not tho courage of my convictions. I feared that mv fuends would desert mo. Now I know that if I had not been a cot an! I would hae cniried the whole congregation of my churcli w ith me." Too widow of the late Henry Ward Beech er, nhen asked lor confirmation of the statement. aid: "Mr. Beecher, so tar from belli;: a spiritualist, was alwajs bitterly op posed to the cncouraKement of Its profes scir in any shape or form. He often said that the s-o-called Christian Science and Smutualism did more harm to lelision than all the assaults or infidelity. Thespnitual lsts seem to look upon me us theli legitimate piey or object of con ersion," she said. "A clergyman in Chicago some time since gave me a gieit deal ofannojancc by sending letters, in which he said Mr. Beecher had been heaid fioni m the other world, and that for twenty years lie had been pleaching erior, but now ho preached truth.
