A"PU22CE in pronunciation.

1 Bet llefure Tcachera' Initttute la Ver mont ad Left Unsolved, Tho following rather curious pieco of composition was recently placed, upou tbo blackboard at a teachers institute in Vermont, and a prizo of a "Webster's Dictionary offered to any person who could read it and pronounce every word correctly. Tho book was not carried off, as 12 was tho lowest number of mistaken in pronunciation made. A sacrilegious sou of Belial who has suffered from bronchitis, having exhausted his finances, iu order to innko good tho deficit, resolved to ally himself to a comely, lenient and docilo young lady of the Malay or Caucasian race. Ho accordingly purchased a calliopo and coral necklaco of a chameleon huo and securing a suito of rooms at a principal hotel ho engaged tho head waiter as his coad j utor. Ho then dispatched a letter of tho most unexceptional caligraphy extant, inviting tho young lady to a matinee. She revolted at the idea, refused to consider herself eacrificablo to his desires and sent a polite noto of refusal, on receiving which ho procured a carbiuo and bowio knife, said that ho would not now forgo fetters hymeneal with tho queen and went to an isolated spot, severed his jugular vein and discharged tho contents of tho carbino into his abdomen. The debris was removed by tho coroner. Tho mistakes in pronunciation were made on the following words, Sacrilegious, Belial, bronchitis, exhausted, finances, deficit, comely, lenient, docile, Malay, calliope, chameleon, suite, coadjutor, culigraphy, matinee, sacrificable, carbine, hymeneal, isolated, jugular and debris.Chicago Tribune. Bank of Knglamt Notes. With tho Bank of England tho destruction of its notes takes placo about once a week and at 7 p. in. It used to be dono in tho daytime, but mndo such a smell that tho neighboring stockbrokers petitioned tho governors to do it in tho ovening. Tho notes are previously canceled by punching a hole through tho amount (in figures) and tearing off the signature of tho chief cashier. The notes aro burned in a closed furnace, and the only agency employed is shavings and bundles of wood. They used to be burned in a cage, tho result of which was that once a week tho city was darkened with burned fragments of notes. For future purposes of reference tho notes are left five years before being burned. Tho number of notes coming into the Bank of England every day is about 50,000, and 350,000 aro destroyed every week, or something like 18,000,000 every year. Tho stock of paid notes for five years is about 77,745,000 in number, and they fill 13,400 boxes, which if placed sido bysido would reach 2$ miles. If tho notes were placed in a pile, they would reach to a height of 5 miles, or if joined end to end would form a ribbon 12,45." miles long. Chambers' Journal. Oar Christina Tree. The newspapers are frequently very pathetic over tho enormous destruc tion of forests, caused by tho annual sales of Christmas trees. As trees are in any form valuablo only for the pleasure which humanity can derive from them, there seems to be no more reason why they may not be Eccrificed for this pleasure when comparatively young as for floor boards when they reach maturor years. Tho satisfaction that thousands of young folks receive from tho Christmas tree is a full compensation for its destruc tion, and aside from this, as any ono knows who may have visited northern forests, tho trees usually aro far too close together over to form first class timber. Snruco and firs may bo seen growing together as thick as wheat in the gramfield, and to expect timber from such closely growing specimens is entirely out of the question; henco tho trees may bo cut from tho young northom forests without operating against full grown forest trees eventually. Meehuns Monthly. Vlctorla rnrnpliraaiMl.

BINDING KOAD METAL.

How to Sccar the Hrit Results In SolldlfjrliiS llruken Stone. After tho uecessary excavation to contain tho road metal has been completed, tho broken stone should bo spread broad-' cast with shovels to insuro a thorough i mixing of tbo various sized pieces and rnkod until tho layer is of tho proper thickness. For a roadway 10 feet wido J It will bo best to mako the thickness or the layer about two inches thicker at tho center of tho roadway than at thoextremo edges, becauso tho wear will bo most excessive at tho center and tho extra thickness will not only provido for this, but will also servo lo give the finished roadway a proper crown, and thus insuro good drainage. If tho final thickness of tho compacted roadway is to bo 4 inches, ono layer will bo sufficient, and when put ou loosely from the carta it should bo about 7 inches thick at tho center and about 5 inches thick at tho sides. If tho final thickness FILLED AND ROLLED MACADAM. is to be 6 inches, it is genernlly best to put on two layers, eacli hnving a thickness of about 5 inches at tho center and about 3 inches at the sides, and in case two separato layers aro to bo put on care should bo taken to thoroughly roll and bind the bottom layer beforo tho second layer is applied. If wo examine a dozen pieces of stono taken at random from a heap of road metal as it comes from tho crusher, wo shall find them to bo of most irregular shapes and generally lacking uniformity in size It will bo impossiblo to lay these stone?closely in contact with each other so as to excludo voids, or fill tho several spaces between their irregular faces aud angles. No single pieco will fit closely against another throughout their several edges or surfaces. When dumped ?nto a looso heap upon the ground, tho spaces between the separate stones mako up a large aggregate, and no amount of rolling will bring theso stones so closely in contact as to materially rednco these spaces. If wo take a water tight box containing exactly two cubic feet and fill it evenly with broken macadam road metal, wo shall find that about one cubic foot of water can bo poured into the box without overflowing tho top, thus showing that only alnmt one-half of the spaco contained in tho box is filled by tho pieces of stone. To illustrate this fact in another way, it has been determined that a cubic yard of solid stono weighs about 2 tons, while a cubic yard of broken macadam road metal made from the same stono will weigh only about one-half this amount, or U tons. It follows then that in order to insure a solid roadway and to fill this largo proportion of voids or interstices between tho different pieces of broken stone, some finer material must be introduced into the structure of the roadway, and this material is usually called a binder, or by some roadmakers a "filler." There used to bo much contention regarding tho uso of binding material in the making of a macadam road, but it i now conceded by nearly all practical and experienced roadmakers both in Europe and America that tho uso of a binding material is essential to tho proper construction of a good macadam road. It adds to its solidity, insures tightness by closing all of tho spaces between the loose, irregular stone and binds together the macadam crust in u way that gives it firmness, elasticity and durability. Good Roads. The Coat of Good Roda Lessening. Data already gathered ßhow that new roads aro already constructing in many parts of tho country, and that increased knowledge and skill, improved machinery and methods and extended practical experieuco aro rapidly lessening the cost of good roads. Civil Engineer Harrison of Asbury Park, N. J., is authority for tho statement that while two or three vears niro tho cost of roadbuildinR was $10,000 per milo it was last year $3,000 per mile. Professor J. B. Jlunnicut of tho University of Georgia, in response to an inquiry from tho road bureau of the agricultural department, states that tho cost o? good, hard roads recently built in Georgia, providing for a track of stone and ono of earth, was $1,200 a mile. Supervisor Chapin of Canandaigua, N. Y., in a letter to General Roy Stono, report8 that 10 miles of a single track stone road, with an earth track each side, was built in that town for $700 a mile. Active interest in tho movement for better roads is shown by tho railroads generally. Special reduced rates aro offered by many of tho railroads, and a tabulated statement of tho various concessions in shipment rates by a large number of companies has been prepared. Exchange. The Sclesico of floadmuklng, It is a happy and hopeful indication that tho prominent engineering schools of America aro giving closer attention to tho study of practical methods of roadmaking. When wo consider tho fac that thousands of engineers in Enroean countries aro given constant and lucrative employment in tho construction and care of streets and roads, and that a sim ilar field of engineering work is likely to bo opened in this country within the near future, it is evidence of good foresight on tho part of our American colleges that their technical instructors aro giving moro emphasis to this brauch of practical work. Good Roads. Had U ort da the More Kiuennlve. Tho question of road improvement resolves itself at last into this roads cost money, good roads cost a good deal of monoy. Thoso who aro Willing to stand tho expense can get them ?thers cannot. It is urged with much p' visibility that bad roads are moro expensive than good ones. To convince a community of this is tho first step necessary to obtaining gaoi loads. Louisville Courier-Journal.
