A great interest is being aroused in favor of the good roads move ment throughout the state. Peo ple are beginning to realize that we are away behind tbs times in this respect and that good, per- 11 » uetit roads will aid more in the developement ol the rural districts than perhaps any other factor. It has even been declared that good wagon roads are now more important than railroads; that rail roads are of little avail unless wa gon roads are built to serve as a connection between the farms and the railroad. F ISH T R A P . There will be serv:ces at 11 o’clock a. m. at the M. E . Church South, also evening services at the usual hour. The literal y program given at the school house Saturday evening was a grand success, Notwith standing the highwater, the house contained all that could be seated. Some thought to avoid the mud bv going in boats, which was all right goiug over but before they returned, a heavy fog had settled over the water. The consequence was, on returning, not being able to see more than ten feet ahead of them, they lost their bearing, and must have gone in circles as they were out more than an hour before they finally found their way out by following the edge of the marsh, and by the aid of tops of fences, “boating must have been fine on the lake last night, for after we had got home and had our icy feet wrapped in blankets, and were sleeping the sleep of the just, several of our neighbois were out on the marsh boat riding till the first small hours of the Sabbath day.’’ Moral: It is better to trust vour feet on old terra firma. Liquid hydrogen is by far the coldest liquid known at the present time. At ordinary atmospheric pressure it boils at -—422 degrees F., and reduction of the pressure by an air pump brings the temperature down to —432 degrees, at which the- liquid becomes a solid, resembling frozen foam. According to Profess or Dewar, to whom the credit if due of having liquefied hydrogen ir 1808, the liquid is a colorless, trans parent body and is the lightest liq uid known to exist, its density being only one-fourteenth that of water. The lightest liquid previously known wns liquid marsh gas, which is six times heavier. The only solid which has so small density as to float upon its surface is a piece of pith wood.— Cassier’s Magazine. It costs n o m o r e to burn.

With the prospect of again bav- ! ing two mills running in the near future the business prospects for Coquille are already much brighter. However, we should not be satis fied with securing these business enterprises alone. Other business concerns may be secured which will be as great a benefit to the growth and development of the city as those already here if we offer a lit tle encouragement and assistance in getting a start. Now that the hall has started to roll let everybody get in and push. i Knowlton's Drug Store m - D e v o te d t o l b . m a t e r i a l s o d so cia l up M ld in c n f t h e O o q o ill.

E n g in e e r i n g P r o b le m s In In d ia . In constructing the power trans mission line from the Cauvery falls to the Kolar gold mines, in Mysore, India, which was recently complet ed, (he American engineers employ ed to do the work had to deal with some uncommon problems. The line, ninety-two miles long, is car ried on lofty poles through the jun gle. Here the -depredations of white ants and wild elephants had to be prevented. The ants attacked the poles, and the elephants pulled at the wires. Iron sockets seven feet high were found to be effective against the ants, and after careful measurements of the highest reach of the elephants’ trunks the wires were strung at a safe elevation. Y a r d * o f D ia m o n d * . Mrs. Bradley Martin has offended good form on the other side by wearing too many jewels. At her place in the highlands of Scotland she gave a hall recently, and society people of the neighborhood were abundantly in attendance. It is the almost invariable custom to dress plainly at country places of that sort, so most of the women wore simple muslins, but the hostess re ceived in a blaze of brilliants. She wore all her magnificent pieces, and, to quote the British paper, she had “yards of diamond chains.” Criti cism of the American hostess has been general because of what is called “a very vulgar display.” A TURBULENT VOLCANO.
