The Rayo Rests Your Eyes
THE bright, yet soft light of the RAYO Lamp
rests your eyes as surely as a harsh white ^lare
is injurious to them. Scientists recommend the li^ht
of an oil lamp ? and the
Jteyb LAMP
is the best oil lamp made.
Ask your dealer to show you the Rayo. No
ulare, no flicker. Kasy to light and care for.

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.

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. This
annual loss would be eliminated If the
main ot beatHy traveled roads of the
?ounty were Improved.

A Description of Hilly Sunday.
' 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 ? Sunday goes. After htm ? .
