ROADMAjSlNGp
GERMAN ROADS.
Experiments In Surface Materials to
Lessen Dust and Mud.
Tho construction and maintenance
af stroots and roads Is a matter of
groat public Interest In Germany.
From every standpoint military,
agricultural, commercial, liyglonlc,
economic tho question of good roads
Is doomed ol the utmost Importance
Every encouragement Is given to
those experimenting along theso linos,
and many lmprovemouts originating
hero have boon adopted in other parts
of tho world. Ono of tho matters now
rocelvlng tho special attention of
German scientists, highway authori
ties and engineers, Is the treatment
of streets and roads for tho purposo
of obviating dust and mud.
While tho modern paving of streets
and tho more solid construction of
roads resulting from tho uso of maca
dam and other hard materials have
largely ellmluatod the mud and tho
consequent clogging of traffic In
periods succeeding heavy rainfalls,
tho dust has still remained to plaguo
the traveler and to menace tho pub
lic health by the absorption and dis
tribution of bacteria.
Various combinations of oil and
salt have been used In Germany to
sprlnklo tho streets and roads, but as
tho effect was only transitory this
method waa not considered a solution
of tho problem of maintaining hard,
clean and sanitary highways. Experi
ments have also been mado with coal
tar, and somo of theso preparations
applied to tho surface of roads have
kept tho dust settled for longer per
iods of time than by former methods.
Although recognized as an Improve
ment, tho expense connected with tho
employment of these preparations has
stood as an objection to their general
uso, and experiments were continued
for tho purpose of producing a more
Ideal and cheaper composition for
treating roads.
Ono of tho results of theso recent
experiments is tho preparation of tho
substance mentioned, apokonln, which
has been pronounced by some techni
cal observers the best and most last
ing road covering yet brought out Tho
merits of this process were discussed
at the recent convention of scientists
and physicians held In Salzburg, Ger
many. Tho process Is secret, but It Is
known that coal tar oils are tho main
ingredients. Tho heavy, penetrating
qualities of the oils give great binding
power to tho composition. This to
gether with tho pressure applied pro
duces a formation iron-like In Its con
sistency, making the surface of tho
road, it Is claimed, so smooth and
hard that snow and rain water can
not penetrate.
Another Important advantage
ascribed to apokonln Is the sanitary
nature of tho material. It Is claimed
that the croosoto present In the coal
tars together with tho high tempera
ture of tho composition when npplled
combine to destroy all the bacteria In
tho dirt, thus preventing tho 6pread
of dlseaBO from particles that may bo
ground and blown off the surface. '
Daily Consular and Trade Reports,
Convict Road Builders.
Tho advantages of prison labor for
road building aro recognized by engi
neers and others Interested In tho
crusade for good roads and tho uso of
convicts for this work Is gradually
extending and Is being considered In
many localities. There is a genoral
objection to tho uso of convicts on
roads, duo to tho aversion of having
them in tho neighborhood of settled
districts, but It has been observed
that whoro thoy are so employed this
feeling of distrust soon wears away.
There aro two decided advantages In
making use of convict labor on high
way construction. The first of theso
Is that a large number of men are Im
prisoned for short terms, and It is Im
practicable to teach thorn any trado
during such a. brief period, even In
those States where trades are taught
In tho penitentiaries. It is much bet
ter to keep these men in active, useful
work than In idleness or engaged on
menial tasks, which aro manifestly
set merely to keep them busy. The
Boccmd advantage of convict labor of
this sort Is that roods can bo ob
tained In this way at a low cost
which otherwise would net be con
structed for some years.
Tax for Road Improvement.
The new road law adopted by the
last Legislature of Missouri provides
that the money raised by the special
road tax levy on proportyt within In
corporated cities, towns and village
hall be paid to tho treasurer of such
city, village or town and used for the
Improvement of the road within the
city limits. The constitutional amead
ment adopted at the recent genoral
election authorised the township
boards to make a special road tax
levy, tho maximum being 25 cents on
the $100 valuation.
Then Good Roads Will Come.
When the farmers realize that a
good road for an automobile means a
good road for all the farmers all tho
time they will beat the automoblllsts
in demanding the good road.
Selling Mutton.
On a form of 100 acres or over It
pays much better to sell sheep as
mutton Instead ot stock for other
pwplo to fatten.
For the Children
How to Photograph
the Frisky Squl Tel.
Tho photographer In search of n
comparatively rare and fascinating
subject would be well advised to com
blno his or her hobby with that of the
nnturullst and, in addition to securing
permanent records, will derive much
pleasure from spending a few hours
or even n day with that semi-wild, at
tractive little nnlmal, the gray squirrel.
Somo precautions are necessary until
you havo gained tho confidence of
these Bhy and reserved pets, as on ac
count of their somewhat diminutive
size they should be photographed at
not less n distance than four to six
feet. The camera should be used as
near the ground ns conveniently pos
sible, and the writer has found n kneel
ing position tho most generally dcslr
ablo. It will be found that tho camera Is
viewed with n certain nmount of dis
trust, especially when advancing to
tho subject, and whenever posslblo the
subject should be Induced to npproach
tho camera. Avoid all semblance of
hurry or sudden movements, as tho
squirrel once frightened means nn op
portunity lost Instead of gnlued. Do
not be In too great a hurry to employ
the camera, nnd the time spent In mak
ing observations will enable the pho
tographer to decide what positions to
take and what to avoid wasting his
plates on.
"Comic Concert" Game.
Every ono In tho company chooses
an imaginary musical instrument. Ono
may be a violin, nnother a piano, a
harp, nnd so on. The leader of tho
band also chooses one, say tho flute,
lie begins to play this imaginary in
strument running his fingers up nnd
down it and tooting nway in represen
tation of the real instrument. As soon
ns ho begins tho other players must
follow suit. The piano player begins
to strum an imaginary piano, the vio
lin player to wield his bow, and so on,
Not only must tho players Imitate tho
actions, but also the sounds which pro
ceed from tho various Instruments.
During tho concert tho leader will
suddenly cease playing his flute and
commence playing the violin, when the
violin player must take up tho leader's
discarded flute playing. Presently the
leader will change agnln. Any player
who falls to tako up tho leader's In
strument must tako tho leader's place
and likewise pay a forfeit
Fairies In Kaffir Land.
Thero are fairies of all kinds in Kaf
fir Land so nt least you would be told
by the merry little children whose
dnrk skins gleam like satin ns they
romp nud play in tho sun. When the
long happy day Is over nnd dusk comes
on they gather around tho open fire in
n wide circle, and somo old woman of
tho tribe stands up nnd tells them
weird stories of elves and goblins, ot
grim lnzlmus, or ogres, who do most,
dreadful things to boys and girls who
come under their spells.i Fortunately,
however, thero is always some good
genius nt hand In tho shape of n "rab
bit prince" or a "fairy bird" to come to
tho rescue, and monster serpents have
a mo6t encouraging way of turning
into noblo kings with gorgeous palaces.
The Goat Itched.
In October last a Swiss boy had a
number of goats on tho side of a
mountain to pasture. Ono of tho a.
mnls felt nn Itching nnd walked up
to a largo stono to havo a good nib.
As ho rubbed nwny tho rock wns dis
lodged nnd started down hill. It took
others with It nnd soon nn avalanche
was started Oiat swept a path down
the mountain nnd carried away a
church nnd a rammer hotel. No lives
were lost but tho damago was about
$15,000.
The Swallow.
Swallows have great powers of flight
now soaring to great height now skim
ming tho surface of tho ground nnd of
tho water and wheeling with great
rapidity. They prey on insects which
they catch in the air.
Uninvited Guests.
Z wrote the invitation, and I pinned It to
the trco.
It eald, "Dear Mrs. Robin, bring; your
family to tea."
Then I made the table ready In the or
chard's pleasant shade.
The cloth a pieplant leaf, the cups of
acorn shells were made.
Borne cookies apd gome breadcrumbs, end
the party was complete.
How happy would the robins be, with
such good things to eat I
Do then behind the largest tree I hid as
best I could
And watched to see my company como
nopping through the wood,
When thero, all In a moment, down
swooped upon tho ground
A host of greedy sparrows and took
everyimng iney round.
As off I drove those sparrows, all dress
ed up In their best,
I saw the robins coming, each in his
scarlet vest.
I almost cried I was so vexed to Invite
these friends to sup
And have some other people come 'and

Candid Delinquent at a Revival
Startles the Congregation.
Hark Tully tells that ono time ho
was In a town In central Kansas where
a protracted revival meeting was go
ing on. Ono of the residents of the
town wns named Toby. lie was a tall,
gaunt man with long whiskers. Ho
was very fond of whisky, of which he
frequently Imbibed beyond bis limit
This man wns attending ono of the
meetings, nnd the revlvnllst wns busy
scoring every form of vice nnd calling
down drastic condemnation upon them.
"Woe to the drunkard! Woo to the
drunkard! Woo to tho drunkard!" he
shouted In doleful tunes.
Old Toby got on his feet nnd
tugged ut his whiskers, and tho fact
that he stuttered only made his Inter
ruption more marked: "G-g-g-guess
th-th-th-ut's m-m-e! I-M-I'm p-p-prcs-ent!"
Tho preacher went on: "Woo to tho
liars! Woo to tho liars! Woo to the
thieves! Woo to tho thieves!" His
Voice was dolorous nnd sepulchral.
Again old Toby got to his feot. Ho
motioned around tho room, swinging
and iKtlutlng with his arms and Angers.
"G-g-get upl" ho commanded.
"O-g-get up! lie's cnllln' on s-s-somo

The green corn season Is about end
od. Corn was good this year. Hut do
you remember when you had to cat
corn from the cob nnd you had a loose
tooth lu front!
It put you In a terrible position. Any
other fellow could ilnlsli n cob of corn
In three minutes. Vou couldn't do It
In loss than ten, becuuse you hnd to
save that tooth. It was u thing to
show to the other kids. Don't you re
member? If It came out In the corn you'd have
to leave n rank of grains nil around
the cob to mark its missing place.
Oh, that tooth! If It came out you
could no longer gather the other fel
lows around you nnd wiggle it nnd
ninko them Jealous. But It couldn't
last forever. You were told that If
you kept your tongue out of tho hole a
gold tooth would grow there. Could
you? You couldn't And you couldn't
eat corn as well ns you used to. All
you could do was to be glad that you
didn't lose all your upper teeth at
once. You couldn't have eaten a bite
of corn that way. Naturo Is kind
