Several weeks ago tbe department of agriculture began its flrst experiment in road building at New Brunswick. N. J., under tbe direction of B. B. Harrison, special agent of tbe offioe of load inquiry. Tbe model road beiog considered is tbe first of several which tbe government is to baild at tbe various experiment stationa throughout tbe country. Tbe government fnrnisbes a rock crushsrt screen, engine to drive steam roller, spreading wagon and road grac * - machine and two skilled operator fbe city fnrniabea tbe material, cart*, ud laborers. Tbe road will be of macadam pattern. An Inferior grade of trap rock la lomid In abnndanoe near New Brunswiok and Ibia ia being need in tbe anbatrnotnre of tbe road. Tbe anperatrnotnre ia obtained from tha traprock deposit! in tbe neigbborbood of Plainfiald and tbe Orangea. Tbe model pavement will have a deptb of abont nine incbee and tbe foundation be made of email, wedge shaped, broken atonea of aa nearlj tbe same dijnemiona aa poasible. Tbe roadbed will be prepared by thoroughly rolling with a steam roller weighing about ten tons, vary bole will be carefully filled with tbeaame material that oomposea tbe net of tbe roadbed, and tbe finished areas aection will be formed by two gradee of one foot in 80 feet from the sides, uniting at the center, with tbe apex alightly rounded. Four incbee of crushed atone will be spread on tbe carefully prepared roadbed to form tbe foundation of tbe substructure. Tbe largest of tbeae atone s will be crushed ao fine aa to be able to easily pais through a two inch ring, and tbe small* aa* anil ha ahnnt half an inch in diun* tor. This foundation will then be sprinkled, making ;be stone as wet as possible without softening the roadbed, and the roller passed over it a few times until the stone is only slightly disturbed by the teams returning with the empty narta. The first foundation is not made deeper than four inches, becauae it has been found that a greater thickness causes the stones to "elbow" together, wearing off their sharp corners, making the "bonding," which is the great desideratum, a very alow process, if not an impossibility. When the first foundation has been thoroughly sprinkled, a second coat of similar stone three inches in thickness will be applied. After the stone has been well" bonded" to this extent it will again be sprinkled, and while rtrj wet a thin coating of trnprock screenings will be most carefully spread over the urfaoe, just thick enough to fill the small spaces between the stones. The sine of the stones of this last application, which is called in the parlance of road building the "binder," will be from half an inch in diameter to the finest dnst When the work has reached this stage, it will be left untouched in the dry state as long as practicable to baAen and bind. The application of anil #ka M1MII* <lf mhlfllM will be prevented u long n? practicable. As the work prosrrcasea Mr. & B. Harrison, who is directing the work for the department of agriculture, will deliver lectures explaining the process of laying the road. Rutgers college students in the agricultural department and farmers will be invited to attend the lectures and witness the work. I C?nJ Qrut r>Tor?d Goad Boadfc Nearly SO years ago General Grant, in enumerating necessary lines of pub* lie improvement*, named tbe public schools and highways. Once, when he and General Sheridan were in a reminiscent mood, tbe old commander said to "Little Phil,'1 speaking of tbe latter'* famous .ride to tbe battle of Cedar Creek: "Sheridan, if that battle bad taken place after a prolonged rain and than bad not been a good pike from Winchester, you would never have been promoted to the head of the United States army. You would not have reach* sd tbe battlefield to cheer your men, and there would have been a great da* fast far the Union forces instead of a great victory. That won Id have left Meade and Thomas a long distanoe ahead of yon in the line of promotion." ?Nnr York Tribune. Imp the Rood Dry. F. A. Dunham, who has been prominently identified with the farfamed system of modern highways of Mew Jersey, at s meeting of the Connection! Valley Highway association, stated that poor material well pnt together can be made to produce better resolta than first class material carelessly pat together. Nothing is more fatal to durability than the drainage of the roadbed, and more particularly the subdrainage, which is often neglected. macadam road cannot be left to itself after a completion, bat needa constant snaerriaion. Both Hard a?d bay. Good roads are about the easiest thing In the world to make, oztoe undertaken, but about the hardest thing there is to get officials to take hold at?Parksrsborg (W. Va.) Sentinel. Wbxl Tracks. Aooordlng to the statement of thi president of the Missouri Good Roads association, the people of that state spent $490,000 during 1806 for road improvement, while It oost them just $800,000 for roads supervisors. In other words, it oost the state 91,000,000 during the jear for $490,000 worth at road improvement In France there are 44,000 miles of first class roads built by the government, and about an equid number of miles hare been built bj the different I aa Wiftll iKnnian^o nf milea built bj smaller divisions.

"Flagpole*,** said a man who matt** them, "are the pick of the forest whence they come. Up to 00 feet in length, and thla would Include the great majority, they are commonly of spruce; flagpoles more than <90 feet long are of pine. "The spruce poles come from New Brunswick and Nora Scotia. The pine poles come from northern New York and Michigan. "Up to 00 feet in length and a 00 foot staff would be counted a good, big staff. Flagpoles coat, all set up. truck on the top and halyards roTe, ready to bend on the flag, from $1 to $1.25 a foot. The cost depends somewhat on tbe pole and somewhat on the situation, tbe latter question involving tbe difficulties attend* ing setting the pole up. linger pole* co<it proportionately more. A 75 foot pole might cost, aet up ready for use, $150. Flagpoles for buildings are some* Hm* mitlt nn (n 8ft fnet in Ipntrth. but not often. "A 50 foot pole of the usual proportions, which would bo 10 inches in diameter at the butt and 4 inches at th? top, would weigh about 850 pounds. A 75 foot pole would weigh about 1,500 pounds, so that when you put up a pole of that slse you would be standing upon one end a weight of three-quarters of a ton. "Of coarse the flagpole must be secure* ly set np. There are two way* of mounting a flagpole. One is to step it, running the lower end of the pole through the roof as yon would run a mast through the deck of a boat The other way is to set the butt of the jiole in a shoe placed on the roof. The very talle*t poles are always stepped through the roof. MA good flagpole, properly pat up and properly cared for, Is long lived. It might wear as long as the building on which it was placed. A flagpole really ought to be painted every year. Flagpole painting is done by the riggers employed by flagpole makers, by steeple climber*. by men who make a business of it, who go about seek-""I" natn* Tn kflVA M fill C Ulf ua?|iviro w pvuiu ?? ??. ? v pole carefully and properly painted cost*, according to the aize of the pole. $5 to $101 "Flagpolea are made nowadays rather longer, if anything, than formerly. Their greater length is to make them more nearly proportionate to the higher build' inga. , "There are now sold more flagstaffa than ever before in proportion to the population. The law requiring the flying of the flag from achoolhonaei has increased the actaal number of poleii, and tbe presence of those poles and the flying of tbe flag from them has prompted the raising of other poles. I think also that people are more likely now 'to put op flagpoles than they formerly were: anyway, that they hare more diaposition now thantrer to ahow their colora."?New York Sun. ELEVATORS SAVING DAYS' WORK. FtgatM of ss Old Xss Who Oaoe Climbed Weary Stain. Recently an old man stood in the corridor of a big office building, with watch in hand, making figures from time to time on tbe back of an envelop*. There mint orhn rnnilproH wllllt he was doing. Be wag comparing bow mncb time tbe modern elevators In onr high buildings save to men in a day. and to one wbo poke to bim be told bow for year*, way ba.'k in tbe sixties, be bad worked in the sixth story of a building which was then one of tbe bigbest in the city or the country either, for that matter; how, though young and spry then, he had dreaded that climb up six sheer stair flights; bow tha men in tbe place would draw Iota to see wbo at luncheon time should make the journey to tbe street to buy cakes and pie for tbe noonday meal, and bow he bad at times gone without his luncheon rather than use up so much strength in climbing the stairs. It took a minute and a half then for a young man to go op. be said, but the manager of the factory, who waa move than CO years old and somewhat rheumatic, always spent four minutes in the upward struggle. MI was just figuring on tbe time sared by this modern appliance," the old man continued, "and 1 calculate that it is at least four minutes for every young man who roes to tbe twenty-fifth floor and ten minutes for your 'elderly gentlemen.' These express elevators, stopping only above the thirteenth floor, average 45 seconds in reaching tbe top. Of course we wouldn't have 20 or 90 story structures if tbo modern elevator manufactuiers bad not kept pace with the architects and builders, but 1 am arguing from the other side." And he showed an array of figures to prove that in a day's average business, in which 2.500 passengers are carried, two whole working days are gained. His young friend did not dispute him. It is in New Tork, of course, with its score of buildings that are 14 stories high and over, that the elevator has reached its grestest development. In the mstter of speed tbe makers hsve vied with one another until 800 feet a minute is tbe rate st which tbe cars can be propelled. This means to tbe twentieth floor of a building in 30 seconds, a velocity that is gained by a multiplication of gear wheels over which the car cables run.?New York Post Why Ha Wu aaecessfal. 1H6 IICI lliUl lui'Lrs* u uiuw/ uu* bard work has been expressed In mm. different ways, bat one of tbe bent was that recently employed by a very successful commercial traveler.

If you consult the usually accepted authorities on the speed of birds in their flight, you are likely to be misled by an exaggeration of from 100 to 300 per cent. This is because figures bare, been given on hearssy, appearance and very superfi- o dal observation. But recently American, English and French observers have been ti comparing Dotes and are practically agreed, after most careful calculation, on the speed of ibe beat known bird*. They started with the carrier pigeon and bare made bis. a base of comparison. He baa heretofore been credited with 110 miles an bour, bat it is now agreed tbat be is entitled to GO. A quite recent Song distance, carefully conducted test of 602 miles, from the Shetlsnd islands to London, showed tbat the most rapid pigeons made 37 miles an hour. On shorter distances none made more than 60 miles. i Because frigate birds bare been seen Car from land and hare been supposed not to fly by night or to rest on the water they have been credited with a speed of from 160 to 200 miles an bour. If tbey did fly at that speed, they would have to overcome an atmospheric pressure of from 112 to 130 pounds to the square foot of flying surface. There is no certainty tbat tbey fly more rapidly than a passenger pigeon or that tbey do not fly at night or do not sleep on the water. ! The swallow, that is indeed a rapid flier, has been credited with ISO miles an bour, but he must be cut down to G5 miles, and the marten is five miles behind him, though authorities hare placed him ten rciles ahead. The teal duck is brought down from 140 to 60 miles an bour. The mallard is D five miles slower and flies the same as the o canvasback, while both of these are ore p miles as boor ahead of the wild goose and ( eider duck. p The pheasant makes 38 miles an boor, $ which is three miles ahead of the prairie chicken and quail, though the latter ap- v pedrs to fly much faster on account of his temporary burst of speed that seldom t exceeds 200 feet. The crow flies 25 miles L an hour. o Small birds appear to fly more rapidly t than the large onea and hare deceived d many observers.

Tbls expression lacks precision, foe re may aek whether the 112s of the sesds i completely arrested or II It la only retided, and the answers would not be the une In all oases. "We owe to Messrs.
