The morning session of the demo cratic national convention opened dull and the aspect was spiritless. The reportes heard with listless interest the eulogy upon former Chairman James K. Jones of Arkansas and the younger men asked wien he was chairman, while the elder men began framing up some sort of a story that would do for the day's work in lieu of any news. A motion to adjourn by Ollle James, recognized as Bryan's floor leader, indicated that Bryan de sired to postpone the convention's real work until a night session, but the galleries, being restless and anx ious for excitement voted no, and the delegates voted no and after some de bate and another vote Chairman Bell decided good naturedly to allow the crowd to have its way. So he called for Congressman Towne, who was absent, and the crowd called for Gore and for Folk and after trying to find Senator Bode Taylor, the chairman sent for Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Gore Starts CabiUy. Senator Gore Is blind, so there was an unusual interest In him. He felt his way about the platform, and let his hands run over the desk before him and he talked. He was a new man and he seemed to be an enthusi astic man. But to the crowd he was a time-filler. No one paid any un usual heed to his words, and no one was expecting anything of Importance from him. He talked about the Okla homa constitution and said: "The great war chief came to Oklahoma and asked us to do what no Anglo Saxon community ever has reject a chance to obtain self government. Then the greatest living exponent of human freedom came to us and told up to adopt our constitution, and by a majority of 100,000 votes (here Gore waved his hands dramatically) we re jected the advice of Taft and took the advice of Bryan." That was all. He started again, lifted his hands for silence, but the heer swept over the crowd. Again he tried to speak but the blaze of ap plause was crackling In the uttermost corners of the room In an Instant. While the blind eyes of Gore were wandering aimlessly over the audi ence the crackling blaze of applause broke Into a roar. The reporters look ed at the clock, tore up their space filling notes and by these signs showed the event of the convention was at hand. Gore had uncorked the com pany fizz before the banquet was ready. The Rear Dance Begins. The great crowd roared with Joy and as it unbuckled its lungs In its madness at the end of perhaps five minutes of cheering, some one in Pennsylvania grabbed the guidon of that state and started to march to ward Nebraska. Indiana and Illinois followed, and soon half a dozen states were marching at the big moon-faced Bryan banner of Nebraska and In these minutes two dozen states were in the bear dance, with Jumping guidons The band played "Hot Time." and the crowd screamed with delight Two dozen and then three dozen state banners were romping over the hall. The crowd stopped at Maryland, and then with a shout Maryland fell In. Then many states were In the procession. It went to the front of the hall, as 10,000 en howled In de lirium, and surrounded the Nebraa ka banner. That was after the cheer ing had lasted $0 minutes. Then the phalanx at the speaker's platform went back and surrounded New Tork, but New York remained unmoved. Spontaneous as Beldam. The madmen capered- to Minnesota. But the seven Btrong men and true grouped the Minnesota banner and held It fast Some Kansas fellows were going to steal It and the word got to Minnesota and she got ready for a fight There was a fight over the New Jersey banner, and a struggle to get Delaware to move. The crowd in the galleries saw the milling of the human ants on the floor and bawled itself hoarse at the crazy sight. SiK)iitaneous at Bedlam. The roar of the crowd was growing steadier and the march of the de lighted demons on the floor was growing more and more grotesque. It was more than spontaneous; it was accidental, and as the crowd went wild the reporters thought of poor General Clayton, who has been work ing for two weeks on his speech as permanent chairman to arouse Just MATERIALS The first attempts to pave streets with wood, three-quarters of a cen tury ago, were failures, and for years after no satisfactory progress was made, says a paving review, The blocks were round, which left large unequal spaces between them. Their edge broke down and wore off, the wood rotted, and the pavement was soon uneven and rovlgh, and therefore difficult to clean and un sanitary. At the present time, through the se lection of suitable woods, cutting the blocks Into rectangular shape so that their edges may lie close together, and treating them chemically to In crease their durability wood pave ment Is better in many respects than any other in common use. It is smooth, quiet, resilient, easily cleaned and easily repaired. In wearing qualities It Is superior to macadam, brick or asphalt, and in ferior only to granite and sandstone In sanitary qualities it exceeds all but asphalt. No road surface Is easfer to draw a load upon, or, as it Is put in tech nlcal language, none offers a lower "friction resistance" and' none la Hundreds of people who suffer from backache, rheumatism, ' lame back, lumbago and similar ailments are not aware that these are merely symptoms of kidney trouble.

There were eagles on perches pavement stands above dancing above the crazy crowd, cow girls marching through the throng yelling, bands tooting In the breath ing spells, favorite daughters of the various delegations on the platform waving the banners of the states. There were banners of marching clubs mottoed banners like that of Michi gan, bedizened in gold with the mot to of the Omaha platform, "Equal rights to all, special privileges to none." There were old men and young men gyrating in the din and the noise never faltered nor needed claque to keep It going, and the; clock went round and half way round again as this pandemonium raged, and above It all there was the pale face of Grover Cleveland, the leader forgotten, the prophet whose doctrine was discarded, solemnly gazing down on the scene. And still Georgia did not budge. The young man wno directed tne music In the gallery saw the delegates crowding around Georgia, and being a young man and from north of Mason and Dixon's line, he played "Marching Through Georgia," and that set the hair on Georgia, and nothing of the north could have budged her. And so, slowly the roar died down and the convention went back to sanity. Grcatfut Mario in America. But It was a great demonstration the greatest ever made In America. The 50 minutes' cheering to Roosevelt was a goodby to a party leader. It will be Interesting to watch and wait for another four years to roll around and to note whether the demonstra tion of goodby to the leader whom this, convention honored will be as sincere and hearty as that with which he is greeted today. The calm, pale face of Grover Cleve land, looking across at Thomas Jef ferson on the other side of the hall, might have winked slyly as he thought of the little sigh of goodby which the convention bestowed on him yester day.

The first cost of creosoted wood Is greater than that of macadam, brick or asphalt, but not so great as gran Kc or sunds.one. On the other hand, it must be remembered, it exceeds any of the first group in wearing qualities.

Pave ment of Australian eucalyptus has lasted for from fifteen to twenty years In the streets of London. It Is more slippery, however, than American woods, and Its cost, about $5 per square yard In the United States Is prohibitive. . In recent years the difficulties which attended the use of wood pave ment have been largely overcome by better methods of handling, treating, and laying the blocks. Crosote Is the best of the preservatives In com mon use for wood pavement. Since it Is Insoluble In water, It does not bleach out, and If a sufficient amount Is Injected Into the blocks It prevents the entrance of water, which weak ens the pavement. The blocks should be rectangular In shape. For heavy traffic their depth should not be less than four Inches. The usual width Is three or four inches, and the best length from six to 10 Inches. They should be laid with the grain vertical, on a concrete foundation, haying a thin cushion of sand or other material. . , Excellent Yields Produced on Experi mental Farm.
