PAYING INVESTMENT

Steel Roadway in Spain PaidItself In Two Year by Sa lug

in Road Repairs

American consul at ValenciaSpain reports these facts tc the statedeportment at Washington The roadbetween Valencia and GTKO is two milesin length and an average of 3200 ve-

hicles pass over it daily Until 1592 itwas constructed df flint stone Theannual cost of keeping it in repairabout 35000 pesetas At the rate of ex-

change at that date this amounted to5470 The construction of a steel

roadway was determined on and theannual cost of keeping in repair thecentral zone of road thus relieved fromheavy traffic which proceeds over thesteel rails is now only 2500 pesetas orabout 380 at the present rate of ex-

changeThe total cost of the road laid was

60950 pesetas The expense indetail was Steel construction 44106pesetas 6990 transportation andlaying steel construction 3250 pesetas

Ample room K allowed between therails fur two horses to walk abreastHorses do trot appear to slip on rails ofthis oactntction At each side of theaafl are layers of binding stones thepaved rood being higher than the faceof tom The municipality otX alenchi ifi of opinion that the savingin cost of repairs through a road of thisdescription pays for its construction ina short time and other and similarroadways are in contemplation

From various parts of Spain inqairies have been made concerning thisroad I learn that a similar constiuctton was decided on at Alicante in 1SO-Sfcut was temporarily abandoned whenevents caused exchange to increase A-

toll of about eighttenths of a centis charged each vehicle passing overthie roadway

HOW TO BUILD ROADS

They Shold Be Rounded Up in theCenter so as to Sited Water to

the Side Drains

The first principle applicable to allToads is good drainage Take the wa-

ter out and keep the water out is arule which must be followed in the mak-ing of road It is not enough todig trenches at the side of the road andcall them drains These trenches mustbe real drains that is they must havea good fall to a clear outlet and be inevery respect capable of carrying thewater away The road must be round-ed tp in the center so as to shed the water quickly to the side drains Theremust be a track in the center of theroad along which travel can pass Thistrack must ba hard and smooth so as

the least riotian xrevent ruts and at the same time permitwater to run off the sides quickly Rutsand holes must not be permitted toform but be filled up as soon as theyappear The drainage must not beabandoned with the tailing care of thesurface water but in many instancesmust extend below the surface in theform of tile underdrains so as to

firm foundation and lessen the de-

structive action of theonly to wet and water soaked roads Inaddition to the simple work on roadsbetter methods with regard to culvertand bridge construction are grttetly-meedeifk The principles above enum

xespect to roads require aninfinity of special methods and treat-ments In arriving at the best results acjaording at the land is high lying or low3s clay sand vegetablemold etc isxDiflcuht of drainage according to theextent of travel the quality of roadmetal and manyother varying conditions That roadmaking sad highway work of all kindsis considered a matter in which everyman is proficient is probably one of theevils underlying the bad conditions ofour roads today Rural World

END OF A CLUB-

It Was Brought About by the Tin

foreseen Possibilities of a RuleAbout Asking Questions

After the Cracker Barrel club becamedisorganized there was no satisfactoryplace for the men and boys to congregate during the long evenings until atlast the regularsitters formed the habitof meeting at the engine house wherethe usual number of unanswerablequestions were propounded Soon afterthe publication of The Message toGarcia it was brought to the quietborough by a commuter who proposedthe organization Message to Garciaclub the purpose being he said to

the number of questions whichwere always asked and generally couldnot be answered by the person askingthem It was then suggested by aformer president of the Cracker Barrelclub that a rule of the new organization should be that if anyone asked aquestion which he could not answerhimself he should treat the crowdThis proposition was received as mostsatisfactory by all at least none dis

Among the members was a youthfrom over the mountain who was serving an apprenticeship at blowing

in nearby snuff factory On themorning following the organization ofthe Message to Garcia ciub this youthwhile resting for a moment from hiswork inquired of the foreman of thefactory if the asking of questionstalked about at the organization of theclub held as against a person whenaway from the club He was told thatsuch was the condition and that if heasked a question which he could notanswer he was liable to pay for

the crowd even though they werenot present when the question wasasked

After a brief silence the youth askedHow is it when a chipmunk makes a

hole there is no dirt at of theholeThe

foreman replied Ah ha I guessyou have asked a question thatyou cannot answer yourself

Oh no said the youth 1 can answer it

Well then said the foreman howis itWell said the youth the chip-munk begins at the bottom to dig hishole

Begins at the bottom how does heget there to begin said the foreman

That is ix question of your own ask-ing said the youth

When this phase of the newly organized club was discussed and it dawnedupon the older members that there wereunforseen possibilities in the operation-of the purposes of the club the matterof npete organization was deferredand the Message to Garcia club has beendismantled X Y Sun

BEETS AND SUGAR CANE

More of the Former Is ManufacturerThan of the

The worlds production of foxthe year now ending has reached theenormous total of S414OCO tons Theproduction of this staplehas increased 3 times since 1S72the output was only 2019000 tons Thtaverage price per pound howeverdeclined considerably more than onehalf during the same period or from537 cents in the earlier year to 23cents for the year 1S9S the average forthe current year not yet being ascer-tainable

Beet sugar production slightly surpassed that of cane sugar for the firsttime in 1SS3 when 2147000 tons of theformer were produced as against 2107000 tonsof the latterthe growing cheapness of the commodity and the European bounty systembeet sugar the quantity of cane sugarproduced continued to increase fromyear to year until 1S95 when it amounted to 3530000 tons The destruction ofthe Cuban plantations accounts for thefact that the output of cane sugar hasdeclined until the quantity manufac-tured during the current year amounted to only 2904000 tons as comparedwith 5510000 tons of beet sugar It isnot Ifkeiy that the limit of the worldsdemand for sugar has even nearlybeen reached anti with the introduction of improved methods the West Indian cane should be ablemeet and the competitionthe European beet farmers It is notin the nature of things that an essentielly tropical product should be per-manently displaced by agrown in the lighter soil and undertheless fervid rays of the sun of the tem-perate zone Philadelphia Record
