HEW PAVING MATERIAL.
AatkarMlea af a Kew York Tawa
I tills Bltamlaoaai Maeaiam
with tiratKylna; 8aeeea.
One of the problems confronting
municipal authorities is the question
that occupies a considerable part of
the public mind. In New York as
phalt has had the preference of late
years, but it has so many disadvan
tages in wet weather and in winter
that the advent of another and better
pavement is joyfully hailed. In the
lower part of Yonkers, at Park Hill
itation, there has just been laid the
first sample of bituminous macadam
pavement around Jew York.
A representative of the Kew York
: Tribune paid a visit to Park Hill the
other day, and this is what he saw:
For about two city blocks the bi
tuminous pavement has been laid.
The grade of the streets ranges from
six to 12 per cent., none of it level.
Of course, there has been no chance
to tell what the result will be. In
ther cities and towns throughout
ilie country, however, it has stood
the severe tests of heavy traffic and
extreme temperature changes.
The foundation for this roadway
was constructed on the same princi
ple as that of a macadam road; thai
is, broken stone of assorted sizes,
spread over a carefully prepared and
rolled subgraile, and rolled with a
heavy road roller. After this broken
stone had been thoroughly com
pressed and kneaded together iu this
manner, it was covered with a thin
bit minimus compound, which is sufli
ciently liquid to adhere to the stone
and prepare it for the reception of
n thicker bituminous cement, which
was then placed upon it in n sulli
eiently thick coat to cover the entire
surface.
On the foundation thus prepared
was placed the wearing surface, com
posed of all sizes of selected stones,
varying from 1' inches in its largest
ilimi'iiMon to an impalpable powder,
m regulated as to till every void or in
terstice. This graded stone is me
chanically mixed with a sufficient
quantity of bitiim inoti.s cement tn
thoroughly eont every particle of it. I
so that no unit of the mineral in-j
gredient remains without it suitable
coat of bituminous paint or cement I
This was then spread nnd raked hot '
on the street, about 2'2 inches thick,'
the hent of this mixture being snfli-i
ciently great to melt the bittimimim
cement on the foundation and thor
oughly unite the whole pavement in
to a homogeneous mass. This w:i.
then rolled and compressed until
thorouehlv solid. Dnrinn-
the upper surface vas thoroughly .
covered with a thin coating of very!
adhesive, quick-drying bituminous ce-1
ment, which filled any irregularity or '
crevice in the surface of the road-
way.

Owing to the gritty nature of the
surface, slipping of horses or the
wheels of rapidly driven automobiles
is rendered impossible. Because of
the fact that the bituminous cement
ueu in me composition or this mix-
ture is absolutely indestructible in
water, there can be no entry of this!
element, which is so destructive to 1
the life of otf,er pavements. There'
is, then, a union of all the good

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
As usual, Puul began his work in
Kphesus wilh the Jews and prose
lytes in the synagogue, lieint tnln r
that it was here thai the Jews hail
asked him to stay longer when he
stopped on his way to Jerusalem after
the second journey. He evidently
impressed them favorably, and that
may in part account for the fact that
he was able to work with I hem longer
than usual before the rupture oc
curred. He preached in the synagogue
three months. In Kpht stis, ns on oth
er mission fields, Paul supported him
self by working at his trade. When
Paul finally left the synagogue he
took u number who had become Chris,
tians with him. Kphesus, like Athens,
had its scholars and philosophers
who taught sometimes in a public hall
devoted to that use, ami sometimes
in their own private lecture rooms. It
is not easy to decide which was the
case here, for some of the ancient
manuscripts read, the school of Ty
ranntis, as in the revised ven.ion, fa
voring the view that the building was
a public one, and called the 'School
of Tyrannus," while others read with
the common Torsion, the school of one
iyrannus, meaning of a certain man
u..med Tyruniiiis. One of the manu
scripts says that Paul used the build
ing from 11 o'clock till four, that is,

..trollig Jews, exorcists:' The
practice of "magic," soeall
practice ot "magic, meaiied, was
very common among the Jews in spite
of the prohibitions in the Old Testa
ment. These exorcists went about
from place to place, claiming the
power to work miraculous cures, and
particularly to cast out the demons
which in those days were supposed to
dwell in those whom to-dnv we should
call inenmv They used charms of
various kinds and repeated magical
sentences, and evident ly believed, from
what they had seen of Paul's work,
that the name Jeaus was a marie w ord
of unusual power. The experience of
two of the sons of Sceva, for only two
of them seem to have been connected
with this incident, was a rebuke to
such superstition not soou to be for
gotten. "Many also of them that had be

superstition had been iu Kphesus.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS,
The more boldly one testifies for
Christ the greuter number of converts
he will 6ecure.
Feople still r.cd to be reasoned with
and persuaded as to the things con
cerning the Kingdom of God.
To invoke the name of Jesus insin
cerely is to aroue eril, not to drive
it OBt.
The Gospel arouses the consciences
of men so that they confess their evil
deeds and abandon them.
The Gospel forces no one to give up
anything but that which is false and
artful.
Christian Character.
To reject correction, is to refuse wis
dom. Great sorrows expand the heart to
"cev great joys,
Uuniility 5.tL ""et ot the steady
ueau lue
God will always set the picture of
Character in a worthy chamber.
The salvation oi this worU waits for
the aavrender of our wills to God's.
Keep the H'ord in y oar heart and you
can keep the) world trt of your life.

The most important legislation on

13,Ttij,jj(! acres have been added
within the last year. The
scientific in.'iiui'rt'mei't and control ot
tb'is vast area will afford ample op
portunity for the energies of the
titlicers in charge. Forests should
lot be reserved from the use of man, i
but for his M.-e. The ripe or matured
trees should be marketed and the
growing timber carefully preserved,
lrstead of the indiscriminate destruc
tion of all trees, large and small, the
marketable ones tdiouhl be so cut
and removed as to leave the young
forest the freest and fullest oppoi
t unity for rapid growth. These re

They should yield it revenue over and
above the expense of their care. Such
grazing should be permitted as can
be dure without del riment to the
purposes of the reserve. Fiidcr vvis'j

waste. liipened trees are removed
and leave space for the youngct
growth. In natural conditions in
dividual trees die and are replaced br
others. Hut when our national for

timber for the use of the people.
rorestrv is tree farming on a grand
scale. It is no idle dream, but we
may reasonably hope that in the
future Ihe nation's wood-) will not
only i-oeel the Hernial nice ami nur

a large degree supply the needs of
the people for timber products.

ners, "lie a little

have bchen a common one. (Hie even
ing," he relates in some recent rem
iniscences, "When 1 was abi ul ciiht
years old, I wa senl In alleluia lady
of ,")0 to an evening Ifcturc. She was
aunt to my half-brothers nnd the
(laughter of a I'.oslon tnereluiiit and
magistrate, an I she had the old-time
n.ol ions of dignity and decorum. I sup.
wise she had never addressed her
mother except, as 'Honored .Madam,' or
ended a- letter to her exeent bv the
I " - - - -
formula: 'Your respectf-:! ncd obedi

with tome owe, not lessened when pres
ently she turned upon me nnd raid: '1
should think that-a young gentleman
brought up in such u family as yours
would have the courtesy toolfer his arm
to a lady when he walks out with her
tfter dark.' I was struck dumb with
amazement. As 1 slill took my lather's
forefinger when we walked out to
gether, I had hardly considered in v -self
a young gentleman bound to the
courtesy of grown men toward ladies,
and I Hill think fhe was somewluit
hord upon so young a chap as 1 for the
neglect of his manners." However tow ering
this old-time- lady's dignity, she
could scarcely, we must think, have
been equally stately in nature if she
was able t-oneeept wit h comfort Iliearm
which her juvenile escort doubtless
hastened to olTcr her aflcr such tin im
