The grow ing1 demand for pond roads
In tin* South has provoked consider'
able discussion as to the cheapest and
most ducabh' rypos of pavement.
Statistics show that for hard surfaced
: reads the asphaltlc typos aro In g"%atosi
general use. The popularity of
these types, espo ially those of tin*
' sheet asphalt, the asphaltlc concrete
and asphaltlc macadam, is duo to their
; long wealing qualities, resiliency
' against tralllo impact, dustlessnoss
rtoiselessiu'ss, cleanliness and low co t
of upkeep. I?ri? l< and concroto roads
have also developed as h:i\o the
wooden Mock and granite block types.
The most recent available fK'iires give
42.11 per cent of the surfaced roads in
tin- Pulled Stall's a-< bring of gravel.

aim other bituminous materials. .'t.9l
per cent enncrel^ and <U>2 per cent
brick. The llgures for the n sphji 111 c
I and brick types, a total of Ifi.rW per
nt show the extent to which city
types of pavement have betui adopted
in the rural d'strlots.
The types most favored in tho c-i- ies
not only for paved streets but for im'
proved roads, included not only the
asphalt ic types hut those of l>ri?*k and
macadam. Hrick is highly desirable
hut more costly than some types.
Macadam Is a satisfactory type when
combined with an asphalt binder which
makes the road dustle?s and prevents
ravelling. It costs but little aiore than
the did type of macadam since the cost
of sprinkling with water is eliminated.
Portland cement concrete is not resilient
but It forms an excellent foundation
for the resilient surfaces. When
' used with an asphalt filler brick Is
j semi-resilient. Asphalt surfaces have

should last not less than thirty

"Come over to the farm," the compradore
of the 1 langkong-Macao boat

We walked down the -I root about

the words in Fu rl' h:
"MACAO OPIUM FARM"
A faint, very faint, sweet i h odor,

One brass bowl of opium, according
to the compradore, retails for

On the opposite si le of tho room
from the furnaces I saw several
groups of Chinese packing the pre

' It had the consistency of very thick

These packages, the compradore

He said they were to he shipped to

"For medicine?" I inquired, "Tc

The compradore shrugged hb;
shoulders, lie did not know.
I picked up an earthern-ware object
I saw on the floor. It was like

end of my thumb, and about threequarters

at the signs over the dooi's, then \

noticed in the opium factory.
On both sid'^s of us were "divans"
