Tn first eierant of beauty Is clcantt

enough to be tolerated. The appearance
of cleanliness Is not enough. It must bs
absolutely clean throughout. Tbea Its
beauty Is not a veneer, but a reality.
This Is one of the bulletins Issued
hj the Woodstock (VU Iniorovenirtit
society, which was organized In 1908.
Woodstock Is town of about 1.500
inhabitants, all of whom enjoy the
benefits derived frqtn beautiful streets,
well kept lawns and pood roadways,
the result of eight years' Incessant
work on the part af the Improvement
oeierv.
There were only thirty-fir original
subscribers to the society, bot for the
better handling of the funds of the or
ganization a state charter was at once
erared. A membership fee of II a

year Is required, and a life member
ship costs $0 in one payment or SCO
la payments of $10 each year. The
present membership numbers 135 an
nua members, 12 life members at $40
and 9 who are paying the $10 install
ments. Daring the first six months of the
life of the society the membership
was Increased by 10$ members and
16 life members, says EL T. Emmons
In the American City. The proposed
work met with unexpected and un
usual co-operation from the officers of
the town and from Individuals.
. One of the first things undertaken
was the collection of garbage and rub
bish. After a proper damp was se
cured a systematic removal of gar
bage was begun. The society at first
employed a man to remove at regular
Intervals all waste and refuse from
bouses and shops, which was carted
to the Tillage dump. But the work
oon grew out of all proportion, and
now a number of collectors are thus
engaged, but independent of the so
ciety, save that each garbage collector
has to apply to the society for a key
to the dumping yard, which the socie
ty still controls.
The collectors require a small month
ly fee from the householders in return
for their services. All garbage that

(can be destroyed is burned and the
remainder buried. In return for tbe
nse of the dump yard the collectors
empty the rubbish boxes which the
Society keeps in different places about
the village streets and in tbe park
and which are extensively patronized.
The society hires a man to sweep
all street crossings In the business part
of the village every morning, Sundays
included. It has also trimmed and
graded and in some cases entirely re
made the little triangles and squares
of grass at street corners and is keep
ing tbem in order. Flowering shrubs
have done mncb to beautify streets.
One of the most remarkable things
which the improvement society has ac
complished is tbe acquisition and
transformation of what is known os
Besurrection park." On this site
there stood a fjmL'.edown hovel, and
ie river bank at the rear and on both
aides was used as a dumping place for
rubbish. Although with limited re
sources, the society easily raised the
sum of $1,200 and for $1,000 purchased
the house and lot, leveled tbe former
to the ground and filled up the cellar
hole. Then with the remaining money
In the special fund the little strip of
land was graded, grass seed was sown,
and the former dumping ground was
turned Into a grass plot

Bermuda's Fish Preserve.
Paring the last regular session of tbe
Colonial parliament in Bermuda legis
lation was enacted to convert Barring
ton sound Into what will prove the
largest salt water preserve in the
world. Its area is about five square
miles, and It communicates with tbe
ocean by a single narrow opening
through which the tide Bows with con
siderable Telocity. It la proposed to
construct a sill of concrete across this
and fix a screen to prevent the exit of
the fish. The preserve will be stocked
with yearlings reared it the hatchery
at the marine biological station. A gars
island, and with fish taken in tbe open.
Tbe actual construction will be under
tbe supervision of the board of works,
and tbe general oversight of tbe pre
serve will be In the hands of a special
fisheries board. It Is expected that
this preserve, stocked with every
variety of salt water game fish, will
prove an attraction to those who are
fond of angling. Consular Report,
Measuring Wstsr Pressure.
To get the approximate difference is
elevation of different parts of a city is
i a very easy matter where there to a
j waterworks system. This is done by
J attaching common steam gauges to
j the plumbing systems at each place
t and observing tbe readings. From the
difference in pressure at the gauges
the difference In elevation in feet can
be found. For every foot in height the
pressure will be .433 pound per square
inch. By multiplying the difference
in pressure at the gauges for different
elevations by .433 we get tie differ
ence in elevation In feet. Suppose tbe
gauge reads six and one-half pounds
at tbe top of an elevation and thirty
and one-half pounds at tbe bottom.
Tbe difference Is twenty-four pounds,
and this multiplied by .433 gives tbe
approximate difference in height to be
10.2S2 feet
Colors snd the Ancients.
Tbe ancients had no special terms to
designate certain colors, and yet tbey
used them In profusion upon their
monuments. Tbe Egyptians used yel
low, red. blue, green, brown, white
and black and had a correct percep
tion of the harmony of colors. Tbe
two colors that occupy most space in
tbe decoration of the enameled bricks
of the Assyrians are blue and yeiiow
Blue almost always furnishes the
ground, while the majority of the
cures thereuion are yeib.w. The

Dirt and Cil Roads Are Rapidly Be
ing Abandoned.
For many years oil and liquid aa
pha It have been uJ tor tvad con
struction In various localities through
out the Cnlted Slates, the most proud
nent. perhaps, belli the state of Cali
fornia. There many bmidrvds of tulles
of roads have been treated with as
p battle oils of varUwis gravities, vary
ing according to the product of the dlt
terent oil nekis and applied according
to Ideas presented by various engineers
and road builders, says P. E. Clark,
former engineer of Los Angeles coun
ty. Tbe most prominent method has
been to deposit the oil upon tbe sur
face of a dirt road whfe-b had been
previously graded and harrowed, let
ting it stand from three to four days
antil some of tbe tighter portion had
soaked Into tbe soil as well as evapo
rated. Tbe road waa then gone over
with a barrow so aa to brwab np tbe
oil cake and allow It lo mix with the
earth. In six or seven days after tbe
first oiling the road was given a sec
ond application of oil. This In turn
was allowed to stand aa before, tbrn
harrowed. The road was then sprin
kled with water, aud after that bad
soaked In and the surface dried to a
depth of a boat one Inch It was thor
oughly rolled with a light roller.
Where tbe climate ts such that rains
come only In a certain season of the
year, and then only In menger quanti
ties. It la needle to say that this has
been an excellent method for keeping
down tbe dust But conditions, like
everything else, (re changing; traffic
is increasing, and where it was at first
believed that tbe oiled dirt road was
to be one that would last for many
years the anticipated results have at
been realized.
In California, with alt of Hi mile
of oiled dirt roads, tbe method of mix
ing dirt and oil Is rapidly being aban
doned and la Its place ts appearing a
new road having far Iietter and sound
er methods of construction. This class
of road I not only appearing in the
state of California from one end to tbe
other, but in many of the states east
of the Rocky mountains tbey are find
ing that aspaalttc oil and various other
products of tbe refineries have excel
lent cementing and waterproofing qua I-
aroaizisa ou, buchixb.
Hies wben mixed with crushed stoue,
thus forming a modern road known as
oiled or protected macadam.
In Los Angeles county. Cal many
miles of these modern oil or protected
macadam roads are being constructed.
Like many other states. California has
a law by wbich sny county may ob
tain its own highway commission, un
der whose suriervbilon the various high
ways selected may be improved from
funds realized from the sale of bonds
voted for that particular purpose.
Tbe heavy aspbaltlc oil used In the
construction of these highways is ap
plied in a new way. After experiment
ing with various devices and methods
that finally selected and adopted Is to
apply the heavy oil by forcing It on
tbe road under pressure of not less
than thirty pounds per square Inch.
For this purpose both the highway
commission and the various contrac
tors are using a new type of road oil
ing machine. Steel tank wagons hold
ing between 1,000 and 1.100 gallon of
heated oil are used to convey the oil
from tbe oil pit to the road, where th
atomizing machines, as tbey are called,
are connected to the tank wagons.
The method of applying the bot oil
or liquid binder with these machines
consists In pumping the oil from the
tank wagon and forcing it through the
specially constructed nozzles of the
distributer, where It Is atomized and
rapidly deposited on the stone. Tbe
work accomplished with these atomiz
ing machine has been most satisfac
tory not ooiy on account of the rapid'-f-y
with wbich the oil is deposited, but
from tbe fact that tbe distribution Is
so even.
Road Mads of Lesthcr.
Affer nearly a year a road made of
Ifccther waste treated with tar at
ilandsworth. Birmingham, England,
shows practically no signs of wear.
Heavy wheels make no impression on
it, and it is a comfortable material for
borses to tread on. Waste leather
which wss shredded until It virtually
became a pulp was treated with bi
tumen and tar. It Is stated that hith
erto no real nse has Uen found for
leather waste. London Dally Mali.
