Wood- l, forging, leather work, domes- irork, cookery, sewing and em- ildcry are among the branches jit. The parents are as yet in dent, If not opposed, to Indus- feeling against it which is so com mon even in the United States, as though it were an inferior type of education. But the pupils are eager and interested. Since I have como away I have received from the In dustrial school I visited a cane com posed of fivo kinds of native wood." It was made by one of the pupils, and it is as artistic a piece of wood work as one could wish to see. I covet the skill of the boy who mndo it. The rare ability of Porto Rlcan women in the needlework art is evidenced by the extraordinary beau tiful "drawn work" displayed In some of the shops. Its beauty ap peals to my mascullno eye, but my masculine pen refuses to attempt to describe It. Perhaps more impor tant for the future of Porto Rice than the Industrial schools for edu cation in hand work are the fifteen or twenty rural agricultural schools, scattered through the Island, each with Its two or three acres of ground on which the children work for two hours dally under the direction of a teacher. On the whole, it appears to mo that educationally Porto Rice is well to the fore. She needs, and I think ought to have, financial nlr in the development of her school system. But of that I must speak in a final letter on some general and special needs of this, the oldest com munity nnd youngest territory in the United States. L. A., in the Outlook.

VHIUL.V' A pieco of oiled road construction Is Just being completed from the Soldiers Home toward tho ocean north of Santa Monica, that hns, In the Judgment of many experienced road builders, a .most important bearing on road development In Cal ifornia. It differs from tho ordi nary street or road oiling in that It Is a veritable construction of a street out of natural soil with the uso of oil. The resultant product is in fact very like an asphalt lies as smooth nnd will last nearly as long. While moro expensive than careless "oil sprinkling" which experience has determined practically useless It Is nevertheless so Inexpensive as to bo practical for use In cities and upon the main country thorough fares. Tho street now being improved is a 130-foot boulevard, with car tracks along the center. Tho net width of tho area worked, from curb to curb, is 5C feet. Tho total length is 18,000 feet, or a little over three miles. The system used Is about as fol fel fol eows: Tho street, which is a sandy loam, with some admixture of blue and red clay and slate and gravel, Is graded and plowed six Inches deep and pulverized with harrows. If It Is very dry, a small amount of water Is sprinkled, on and mixed in so ns to make it workable. Oil Is then ap plied at the rate of one gallon to the square yard, and the cultivators mix It In to the depth of four Inches. A second gallon of oil to tho square yard Is then applied and cultivated down to five Inches. Tho oil Is then turned under with a turning plow, four Inches deep. Now, up to this point tho process does not materially differ from that In general uso where careful work Is dono In the mixing of oil In the making of a road. But tho next step is a radical departure, and marks tho beginning, It Is contend ed, of a now era In road making. Tho process next succeeding this In tho common forms of road oiling Is tho rolling of tho road, which crushes down a thin scum on the surfaco that later scales off and leaves tho road full of chuck-holes. But with tho new system tho next process Is one of tamping. A huge cylinder about eight feet long and five feet in diameter, weighing some five thousand pounds, and furnished vflth rows of flat-headed teeth, Js hauled back and forth over tho street, slowly tamping tho oiled earth up from the bottom to within two inches of tho top. When the tamper first goes ovor tho street, it sinks tho teeth, which aro about six Inches long, clear to the end in tho soft, oily earth, but each time a now layer of solid asphalt Is plastered on tho bottom, and tho cylinder rises a littlo out of tho mass until, whon tho tamping Is finally completed, tho mixture Is so solid that the tooth no longer sink In. There Is a vast difference between merely crushing tho Burfaco of an oiled road with a roller and tamping five or six inches of oil and soil from tho bottom up. That difference means years of wear. At this stage of tho proceedings tho tamping Is brought to within two Inches of tho top. Tho street In then regraded, and tho two Inches of looso soli aro cultivated nnd given one gallon more of otl to the squaro yard. That iB altogether three gal lons to the square yard, all applied warm, bo as to sprinkle freely. Again tho cultivator, and then tho tamper, this timo worked until It reaches tho surface. When tho tam per Is done, tho surface is a littlo uneven from tho marks of tho teeth, and this Is taken out by a roller weighing two tons to twelvo Inches of tire. A moro perfect Burfaco can be obtained by a slight sprinkling of gravel before tho roller comes on Tho cost of this work la about 10 centa a square yard, or fl a run ning foot, to a 56-foot strcot( be tween curbs). Tho cost on tho ordi nary city street where no grading was needed, would amount to from 30 to 40 cents a running foot of frontage. In othor words, If done under the Vrooaaaa act, a street could be practically paved for about 15 or 20 to the lot provided that curb, Bidowalk an gutter were al ready In place. The, oil used la of 12.5 gravity. Tho following enso Is but ono of many similar occurring daily in Sa lorn. It is an easy matter to verify its correctness. Surely you cannot ask for better proof than, such conclusive evidencc: Mrs. S. Collins, of 079 High street, Salem, Ore., says: "Troublo with my kidneys nnd backnclio lmvo caused mc much annoyanco for several years. Al though I used a good many remedies I obtained no positive relief until my nttontion was called1 to Doan's Kidney Pills, and I procured them at 'Dr. 'JStono's drug store. They soon brought mo offectivo benefit, eased tho bearing down feeling through tho back and loins, nnd banished tho aching and oth tor symptoms thnt had annoyed mo for so long. I have since learned1 of oth ers who think tho world of your relia ble remedy and I gladly recommend it to all suffering from backache or kidney trouble."

Several street In Santa Monica havo been done by tho tamping system Indeed, It is generally, known as the Santa Monica system and they have shown almost perfect wear. One of them that has been done two years has endured a good deal of traffic and Is practically as ' it was when originally lnid. It has been found that this system will work successfully In soft beach sand, and one street In Ocean park has been down for about a year and Js In ex cellent order. Los Angeles has about six hun dred miles of street, of which less than 30 per cent nro paved. Even with all tho wbrk dono to secure petitions for paving, tho total paved area, when the streets now signed up are paved, will bo less than one fourth tho average of American cit ies of this size. What Is needed Is some comprehensive system of treat ment for large areas of resldenco streets to be done nt tho oxpenso of tho frontage owner, and yet nt small expense. The Santa Monica system seems to supply the desired plan. At a cost of $15 or 20 a lot, to have what Is practically an asphalt pave ment except that it is quiet and freo from dust. Is about as advantageous a deal as the owner could over hopo to accomplish. Los Angeles Times.
