J., nnder the direction of E. E Harrison, special agent of the office c i. load inquiry. ' The model road being considered 1 the first of several which the goverr max* jD tn KniM at th? tarinni czoer ? meut stations throughout the country J The government furnishes a rock crusl e er, screen, engine to drive steam rollei r" spreading wagon and road grading mi d chine and two skilled operators. Th ,? city furnishes the material, carta an 11 laborers. The road will be of macadam patten j|j An inferior grade of traprock ia foun ?- In abundance near New Brunswick an thia ia being used in the substructui '* of the road. The superstructure ia ot * tained from the traprock deposita i ? the neighborhood of Plaiafield and tli Oranges. The model pavement will have ? depth of about nine inchea and the four J; dation be made of small, wedge shapec broken stones of as nearly the same d u mensions as possible. The roadbed wi r* I be prepared by thoroughly rolling wit * a steam roller weighing about ten torn q Every bole will be carefully filled wit r- tbe tame material that composes tli ** rest of tbe roadbed, and tbe finisbe crow section will be formed by tw j grades of one foot in 30 feet from tb sides, uniting at tbe oenter, with tb : apex slightly rounded. Foor inches < ? crushed stone will be spread on tli carefully prepared roadbed to form tb i, foundation of tbe Knbstructure. Tb *r largest of these stones will be crusbe so fine as to be able to easily piu through a two inch ring, and tbe smal io est will be about half an inch in dian * eter. i This foundation will then be sprii tr tied, making '.ho stouo as wet as pour ble without softening tbe roadbed, an tbe roller passed over it a few time until tbe stone is only slightly disturbe I. by tbe teams returning with tbe empt r* carta. Tbe first foundation is not mad deeper than four incbea, bccause it bt d been found tbat greater tbicknei i- causes tbe stoues to "elbow" togethe: wearing off tbeir ibarp corners, makin i' tbe "bonding;" wbicb is tbe great d< ia siderutum, a very slow process, if n< an impossibility. When tbe flrnt foundation has bee ' thoroughly sprinkled, a second coat ( p. similar stone thtee inches in tbicknei b will be applied. After tbe stone hi been well" bonded" to this extent it wi * again be sprinkled, and while very wi ii a thin coating of trapxock screening 11 will be most carefully spread over tb *' surface, just thick enough to fill tli m small spaces between tbe stones. Tb r size of tbe stones of this lust npplicj D < ?*lloH ?n th? narlmnca t y roadbuilding tbe "binder," will I Jj from balf on inch in diameter to tb w finest dust. When tbe work bos reacbc tbia stage, it will be left untouched i tbe dry state an long as practicable t ? harden and bind. Tbe application < > water and the passage of vehicles wi. jj be prevented as long as practicable. p. As the work progresses Mr. E.

V A Vatker'a View of the Entries MM? ob tbe PaMlljr Ledger, if Doe* a 2-year-old baby pay for itself up it to tbe time it reaches that interesting I. ??*? Sometimes I thiok not. I thought I ao yesterday when my own baby slipped ^ into my study and "scrubbed" the carpet and his best white dress with my bottle of ink. lie was playing in the coal boJ '* ten minutes after a d? an dress was put '* ou him, and later in the day he pasted 50 i- cents' worth of postage stamps on the r. parlor wall and poured a dollar's worth I- of tbe choicest white rose perfumery out r of the window "to set it wain." ' Then he dug out the center of a nicely " baked loaf of cake and was found in the ? middle of the dining room table with the " sugar bowl between his legs and most of the contents in his stomach. I. He has already cost $100 in doctor's d bills, and I feel that I am right in attribd uting ray few gray hairs to the misery I -g endured walking tbe floor with him at . night during the first year of his life. ^ What has he ever done to pay me for that 7 10 Ah! I hoar his little feet pattering along out in the ball. I hear bis little ripple of laucbter bocauae he has escaped l- from bin tuotber and baa found bis way |t up to my study at a forbidden hour. But i_ the door is closed. The worthless Uttle U T&gabond can't get in, and I won't op< n l it for him. No, I won't. I can't be disturbed when I'm writing, lie ran just * cry if he wants to. I won't be bothered " for? "Bat, tat, tat," go his dimpled i? knuckles on the door. I sit in silence. d "Rat, tat, tat." 0 I sit perfectly stilL >e "Papa." ' XrL>plT- h .t Teeze, papa."

Generally Auaard. if It yon consult (be usually accepted aug tborities on tbe speed of birds in their |6 flight, yon are likely to be misled by an j exaggeration of from 100 to 300 per cent. Thia is because figures have been given n on hearsay, appearance and very superfi0 rial observation. But recently American, >f English and French observers have been 11 comparing notes and are practically agm*], after most careful calculation, 1 on tbe speed of tbe best known birds. ir They started with tbe carrier pigeon and have made him a base of compari. son. He has heretofore been credited " with 110 miles an hour, but it is now '* agreed that be is entitled io 50. A quite >t recent long distance, carefully couducted d test of 5i)2 miles, from the Shetland islands to London, showed thut the most rapid pigeons made 37 miles an hour. On shorter distances none made more 1 than 50 miles. * Because frigate birds have been seen V far from land and bare been supposeu 10 not to fly by night or tu rest on tbe water tbey have been credited with a speed of i* from 150 to 200 miles an hour. If tbey d did fly at that speed, they would have to >a overcome an atmospheric pressure of ^ from 112 to 130 pound* to the square j foot of flying surface. There i* no cer, tainty that tbey fly more rapidly than a passenger pigeon or that tbey do not fly n at night or do not sleep on the water, n The swallow, that is indeed a rapid d flier, has been credited with ISO miles ) an hour, but be must be cut down to G5 i, miles, and tbe marten is five miles behind ^ him, though authorities have placed him ten miles ahead. Tbe teal duck is brought down from 140 to r>0 miles an hour. The mallard ia * five miles slower and flies the same aa the " canvasback, while both of these are five miles an hour ahead of the wild goose and eider duck. The pheasant makes 3S miles an hour, which is three miles ahead of tbe prairie * chicken and quail, though the latter appedrs to fly much faster on account of w his temporary burst of speed that seldom exceeds LDO feet. The crow flies 25 miles <2 an hour. ? tr Small birds appear to fly more rapidly ta than the large ones and bare deceived il many observers.
