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.

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

ELECTRICITY FROM WIND.
Modern Windmill a Croat Improve.
. meut Over Ita Prototype.
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-

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.
