V ADVICE ON TAR MACADAM ROADS Sugccstians For Constructing Highways ot This Material KUCH DEPENDS ON LOCALITY, Highway Engineer Should B. Con eulted and Givan lha Data Bearing on tha Problam Topography of Country and Traflia Should Ba Studied A many Imluxt rlous uiouibert ot Tiirimis rural roiuiuunillt are anxious to twelve Infonuailiin as to what kind of tar niactiduiu road to build, an CMH'tl authority on road construction nuit inainii-nMiH-e given tlie follow lug Tiiltmliie atlvkv: The ptvHT dotormlantlon of what kiiiit of t :ir nnicadiini road to build In a givt-n locality could ouly bo niade ly a n.uuKeul liiKlinaj engineer in possossiou of all til-) data bearing on the problem aud preferably by an ex amination on the ground. Leaving for tbe moment tbe matter of cost out of the question, tbe selec tion of a suitable method of construc tion and of materials best adapted thereto depends upon so many factors that uo choice is possible without thor ough study of the surrounding condi tions. This would Include a knowl edge of tbe location of the road. Its grades, the topography of the country through which it runs, tbe climatic conditions aud especially of tbe traffic to which It Is subjected. A construction that would give satis factory results lu one section of the country migbt be entirely unsulted to another section, and in tbe same man ner materials used successfully in a warm climate might fall In one where extreme cold prevailed during part of the year. When, as is almost always the case, low cost Is tbe controlling considera tion, still other factors are Introduced Into tbe problem, and still more data ore required for its proper solution. The question then becomes one not of building tbe best possible road, but of building tbe best possible road that can be built for tbe money available. While it Is not a simple matter to an . swer the first question, yet It Is com- IDEAL STRETCH OF MACADAM. From Good Roads Magazine, New York paratively simple as contrasted with the second, and it Is just here that tbe 'services of a specialist are Indispensa ble. It Is seldom that tbe available fands are sufficient to pay for tbe best pos sible road, and It Is necessary to sac rifice in the construction to keep with in the limits of the available funds. Such weighing of cost and quality and the Una! decision as to what Is the best and most economical procedure re quire not only careful thought, but also a thorough familiarity wltb the whole subject of road building and maintenance. There are many road binders com posed principally of tar, besides the several tars themselves, that are em ployed In road building. Their nse bas been attended by both success and failure, neither being necessarily an index of the value of the material, for the selection with due regard to condi tions to be met nnd tbe manipulation In the actual work affects results fully as much as any Inherent qualities of the materials. As In most work of a similar nature, the best results are to be expected when a material and method of con struction are chosen which have given satisfaction In a case similar to the particular one under discussion; hence in tlie last nnnhsis the most reliable information is 10 be Ruined from serv ' li e tests of roads subjected to the same outside influences as that which is to be built. Remove the Mud Tax Burden, No plan for spring work is complete which docs not Include dragging the roads. If this Is attended to at the proper time It insures good roads for tlie season ond removes the laruer share of that awful burden, the mud las. In this matter the towns and cil ies are eiiiiilly interested with the fanners, and their co-operation is no generally hard to secure If tlie matte: is handled rightly, lioad dragging is cue of those tilings that must be se cured through co-operation if wide spread benefits are to be eujoyed. Prosperity Follows Good Roads. You show me any community in this or anv other stale where there arc gocd roads, said a speaker at ti good roads convention, and. I will show yor ii community where there are no paint famished buildings or tottering lean tos. ;i community where there is the nir of prosperity, thrift and progres Sliil. Just Received.

Through the medium ot electricity the windmill la agaiu becoming prom inent. Ou'J in Its general purpose, however. Is it like Its ancestors. Mod ern machinery composes ita pans and uuder the modern name of "wind tur blne" it is finding a mission In many parts of the world as a hum us for the development of electricity. The machinery of a modem wind mill la Just as far advanced over the crude machinery of tho windmill of Hfty years ago as are the works of a hue watch over the works of a dollar alarm clock. One type of wiud tur bine, for instance, consists of a whool about sixteen feet In diameter, mount ed HHu a steel tower fifty feet In height. The entire wind wheel Is of galvanixed steel, and all Its moving parts run ou lull bearings. Its trans mission gear works In an oil bath, and tbe licst methods known to engi neering have been adopted in order to eliminate friction aud enable the wheel to make tbe Ix'st of light winds. Tbe result is that even lu a wiud having a velocity of no higher than six miles per hour the turbine generates elec- MODKKX WIND TCBBUiK. tricily. Such a windmill as this Is provided with an electrle generator and switchboard and a fifty-five cell storage battery as its electrical ap paratus. The wheel is always in run ning position, ready to make use of every puff that comes, aud it steadily makes and stores current except In times ot absolutely still weather. Tbe generator used w ith a wind tur bine sixteen feet lu diameter Is usual ly of two kilowatts capacity and of 130 volts. Its armature shaft is placed vertically and Is driven by means of a belt from a pulley placed nt the bot tom of the vertical shaft ot the wiud turbine, tower. The control of the field circuit is maintained by resist ance worked by relay switches ener gized by tbe main circuit. It is ob vious that as tbe Telocity of the wind increases the power available on the turbine also Increases, and it is pos sible to so adjust tbe relay switches that tbey switch resistance in or out of tbe field circuit as the velocity of tbe wind increases or decreases. Thus instead of governing on the speed of tbe wheel the governing Is done on the out put of the wheel. The object, of course. Is to allow tbe wheel to run at Its most economical speed within the range for which It is designed. A plant with a sixteen foot wheel would cost from J1.000 to $1,200, ac cording to the size of the storage bat teries. Popular Mechanics. Improving Waterways. The federal authorities have approv ed of plans for the oiienlng of the Delaware river to a navigable depth of twelve feet as far as tbe city of Trenton, and it Is believed that the development of deep water navigation farther inland will be only a question of time. In Europe stupendous work of Ibis character bas been done. Man chester spent $SO,0Ki,000 on the thirty five mile canal which has made the city of Manchester a seaport, while Duisberg, in Germany, 100 miles from tbe mouth of the Khine, and Cologne, 150 miles from the sea, arc both in free communication by water with the seaboard. World's Debt to Chemistry. Tbe effect of chemistry on civiliza tion, says Dr. Maximilian Toch, bas been greater than that of any other science. "Engineering mndc but little progress uutil steel and cement, two chemical products, were cheapened, simplified aud made universal." Medi cine owes to chemistry the discovery of synthetic drugs and of anaesthetics and tbe progress that has been made in the study of metabolism. The twen tieth century promises even to outstrip the nineteenth In chemical progress, which will lie in the direction of con trolling foodstuffs, applying the raw materials In the earth and refining of metals. Ths First British Steamer. A recent issue of Cassler's Maga- j zine states editorially thut the first British steamboat was not Bell's Comet, which ran on the Clyde in 1811, j but the Accommodation, which com- j menced running between Quebec and i Montreal on the Sit. Lawrence river on Nov. 5, 1809, or two years after the Clermont made her official run from New Ytrk to Albany. The first steam ers on the lakes were the Ontario and the Frontenac, which appeared in 1810. Pay Up.
