W2Z&&&W1 tool CONSTRUCTION OF A CULVERT Consideration of fteenomy and Safety Demands tlmployrtunt of Other. 1 Material Th?n Wood. By far tho greater number of cul verts and bridges on our public roads have a span of less than fifty fo<ff. Ift tho puat those structures have, in gen eral, been built of U'xtttdi bm -lujnbw-no-; exposed in this diy climate l>? subject to rapid dc< ay, writes Walter Graham ise great (Jeal of repair and frequent re newals. Tho ever-lncrfaslng prlco of lurnbor Is making the further uho of wood for thiH class of structures more and moro indefensible. 'l'he loads* which our highway structure*) are called upon to sustain are also increas ing. In many of our- agricultural lo calities the movement of steam road rollers and heavy traction engines la seriously hampered because of weak bridges and culverts. Consideration of economy and safety demands tho use of other materials than wood in the construction of culverts and bridges. Durability is of the greatest econo mic importance. In many sections a largo proportion of the annual road levy Is expended in repair and renewal of woodon culverts and minor bridges, and it is not umiHual to find this prac tice defended on tho ground that the county or district pannot afford to build tho higher-priced permanent cul verts. This notion is simply a false sense of economy. True, the first oost of tho permanent structure is greater, but there the outlay ends, while with wooden culverts there is a large an nual outlay for repair, as well as fre quent renewals. Anyone interested in road improvement will find it most in teresting to secure ^he following data for his own county or district: The number of culverts, cost of labor and material for repair and renewal each year, average life of wooden culverts and the ordinary lif? of wooden bridge floors. Theo he could compute how long it would be before the actual present expenditure would pay for per manent etllver ts. > > Later improvements in the manufac ture of iron have iSSdS "thjt material more generally available for use in oui* vert construction. A spccial quality of iron, very low ip carbon, resists cor rosion so well as to make its use ad visable in many cases, and this is an important point Wr the irrigated dis tricts. The cutting away of the soil by tho water at the inlet or outlet of a clay or cement pipe is often respon sible for its progressive break-down and partial exposures of this charac ter are extremely dangerous in time of freshet to any form of construction It is doubtful whether the majority of .practical roadbuilders have given con Blderation to the ffict that by building suitable wing wails for any bridge or pipe they can very largely increase its carrying capacity. A V-shaped en trance-way so increases the velocity of the water as to enable a given con duit to perform the work of one of much larger diameter which has an end wall at right angles to the flow. a BAD ROADS VERY EXPENSIVE Value of Horse* end- Mules In One County in Missouri Deteriorated 3 Per Cent Annually. Prom the 1910 United States census reports it la found that tho value of horsegr and mules ih one oounty In Missouri was 9831*089. The value of farm vehicles, harness and other equipment was $875,000, making a to tal of $1,206,089. The present roada of the county cause all animals, vehi cles and harness, to deteriorate three per cent per annum faster than they would' on improved roads.. Three per cent of $1,206,099 is $36,182. This is . only one ?<mree1 of loss which the county must bear every year on account of bad roads. Again, the oodt per ton mile for hauling on iilO roaut) 2d tli? county id 30 while the oaiet on good roada Is only 14 oents per ton mile, thas saving 16 cents per ton mile. There are about one hundred thou sand tons hauled an average of five miles in the county; 76 per oent of this amount would be pver improved roada provided the present bong issue earrieSr Seventy-live per cent of the 100,000 tons equal 75,000 tona. This amount hauled 0ye miles rep resents 876,000 ton miles; 876,000 tons multiplied by H cents equals $60,000 plus $86,182 equals !$96;182 total an nual loss on account of present roads as compared to Improved roads.

' A representative of The Atlantic City Review wont over to Philadelphia last Sunday to hear Hilly Sunday preach and tluHK wrote his impressions of the evangelist ns follows: There was very little solemnity In the atmosphere, nothing that recalled tlii' meeting of Moody and Sankey. The crowd was sympathetic and curl on* and applauded, amid great laugh ter. the volleys of cheap abuse, In vul var slang, which the speaker hurled i at ministers and the churches. That is Sunday's long suit. He knows that nothing will so please the worldly masses as criticism of Churches and iministers, and he works thai game to the limit. On the whole, the slang, when you hear him, is not so promi nent. nor so offensive atf when jou read it in the papers. It Is, In fact, an artificial means which ho uses to get advertisement, and to draw the crowd, lie eases up on slang. It is said, whqn the crowd Is efiger to come, and drives it hard if the interest be gins to slacken. la small assemblies lie uses no vulgar slang at all. Ho belongs to the hysterical type of speakers. He resembles the howling dervishes of the Mahometans, or better, ho might be described as St. Vitus on i a rampage. He leaps, he sways, he i i;t roams, he crouches, he springs, he | foams at the mouth, his fa<.*e becomes liivid, his arms are in continual action like a pugilist's, and his body Is al l ways In movement. At one poliit in his sermon, with fearfully dramatic ?gestures', he pictured the agonies of Christ on the cross, and In the same instant of this emotional climax, he iumped for a big white pitcher of wa ter and drank like a man dying of thtrnt ----- . _ ~ ^ _ "The audience, with the image of, the crucifixion before them, buoke out into sudden laughter at this abrupt change. At another place in the ser mon he described with a lunge of the arm how Jesus 'pushed bread into the face of Judas.' While a minister made the closing prayer, Sunday chewed and tore at his handkerchief as a dog tears meat from a bone. --- ... "Nobody near the Scribe seemed to l>e affected religiously. The i>eople were interested in the novelty of see ing a vaudeville monogllst In the pul pit 'He will have to .show me more than that,' said a woman near by, as she rose to go. "The crowd at all times was very orderly and very attentive. The morn ing paper next day described the ex traordinary commotion and tumult of the "converts, as they rushed forward The Scribe, during this part of the service, stood on the elevated plat form beside the pulpit, and if there was commotion and tumult of surging converts, he faited to see them. "There is no doubt that Sunday Is tuHiing many away from .thelr sins. 'Sunday, the LaBber of Sins,' describes his real business, an no one need quar rel with him for that. It is the pow wow work of the medicine man. Some may well stand' aghast at the support which many Churches are giving him. Tfaa spirit nf Christ Is certainly not in him. and Sunday's methods of re buke are alien' to the Gospel, or love, of sweetness and light ' M,Oh. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that klllest the prophets and stonest them that were sent unto thee, how orten would I have gathered ye unto my arms, even as a hen gathereth her .brood, and ye would not' cried Jesus with the power of divine rebuke. Hut Sunday; like a young mucker in the streets, throws mud at every one who disagrees with his barbaric theology. "The (Christian Church must be in i Md plight if it myst come down to this style of campaigning. Dwight h. Moody spoke with simple directness from a full heart Sunday Is a force ful melodramatic .actor, with poses studied out for effects. He stimulates the nerves like a drug. * "If the Church has to adopt this style of preaehittg for its standard diet it will soon degenerate into the condition of- a drug fleiid. Sunday comes ?
