MANY THINGS MUST BE TAKEN INTO FORETHOUGHT Bulletin Now in Preparation by United States Office of Public Roads Tells About Concrete Drains. Ol o , With an average of 27.000 tons of water falling in the form of rain on each mile of public road In the United States annually, it Is scarcely to be marvelled at that the ten commandments of the road builder can be sum med up succinctly in the word "drainage." The saying has truth for a basis, as ood drainage is the primary requisite tor all roads. Even in sand roads this holds true, for there "good drainage" means such as will safely reomve the ktorm water without erosion or gullying and still retain the surface moisture. To secure .good drainage one must take Into consideration both the surface water and the underground watpr. T'je surface water must be removed quickly and completely ind Without subjecting the road to excessive scour or erosion. For this reason, the center of the road should be raised and the slope towards the side ditches should be from one-half to one flnch to each foot distance, or so that she water will run freely to the side ditches and not flow down the road i r remain in puddles on the roadway, ' The side ditches should be of ample i size to care for the severest storms with a fall of not less than 6 inches !o each 100 feet. Frequent and am- ' ?le cross drains should be construct ed and every opportunity taken to Ret the water away from the road as Suickly as possible. Any road long hich you see water standing in the eide ditches or on which puddles of Jwater have collected or which has fceen badly gullied and eroded by the tains has poor drainage and is in need 6f immediate attention. Iu fact earth roads nearly always require a little Attention after each rain. The splitlog drag is essentially a tool to maintain good drainage on our earth roads and should be used after each rain. On a heavy clay or gumbo soil the drag when properly used tends to puddle the road surface, keep it free from ruts, dense, smooth and hard, thus securing the best surface drainage possible. But in many places the underground water is too near the surface and must be removed before a good road will be possible. This means that

Phone 1390. 5-4t some form of sub-drainage must be resorted to, usually tile drains, of clay or concrete. Water from whatever source must be gotten rid of effectively, for wator plus clay or gumbo invariably equals mud when mixed in spring and summer. Water becomes ice in winter and as water in freezing expands one-eighth its volume, the road heaves out of shape and when the ice melts the road disappears beneath the rising tide of mud constantly fed by rains, melting snows and underground springs. In seepy and boggy places the subdrainage in order to be fully effective should lower the water level to not less than three feet below the road surface. If tiles are used they should be carefully laid, true to grade. Most failures in tile drainage can be attributed to carelessness in laying, or too flat grade. Tile less than 4 inches In diameter . should rarely be used, nor should a grade of less than 6 inches to the 100 feet be used unless absolutely necessary. In a very dense soil, it is always advisable to cover the tile to at least a depth of 6 to 12 inches with coarse sand or fine gravel. Care should always be taken to secure a free outlet for the drains and to protect the outlet with a concrete bulkhead or catchbasin, which can always be' kept clean and the outlet free. The kind of tile to be used depends on local. conditions. Concrete tile if properly made are equally as good as clay" tile.' Which kind to use Is entirely a local question of dollars and cents. If concrete tile can be made more cheaply than clay tile can be had use concrete; if not, use clay tile. One great advantage of the concrete tile is that they can be easily made by the local users at or near the place where they are to be placed, so that the freight charges are dispensed with as well as the large breakage losses due Jo handling. , Placed in the ground both are durable. If concrete is used, great care should be taken, to see that a good grade of Portland cement is selected, and that the drains are properly constructed. The impression, which prevails to some extent, that tile disintegrates Is erroneous: A bulletin is now in course of preparation by the United ' States office of public roads telling how to make concrete drains. This bulletin will treat the subject fully, explaining carefully every point that may arise In making drain pipes and culverts. NEW RECORD IN WOBKJN CANAL Immense Quantity of Dirt Removed During July. The grand total of Panama Canal excavation during the month of July was 3.16S.S40 cubic yards, all of which except 122.SS4 cubic yards was taken from the Canal prism. This establishes a new record for excavation in the rainy season, being 10S.533 cubic yards more than the record for June, and 311,430 cubic yards short of the highest dry season record, that of March, 1908. Compared with July, 1907, It shows an increase of 2,105,114 cubic yards. , Rodol Fop Ingestion. w Relieves sour stomach, Daloiution of the heart. Digests what too eat.

BETTER TRADE CONDITIONS Figures lately made available show that Costa Rica is the most progressive and prosperous state between Mexico and Panama. Notwithstanding the fact that of the 4.200.000 inhabitants of Central America only 323,000 dwell in the orderly little republic of Costa Rica, this state is credited with 30 per cent of the foreign commerce of the five Central American republics, which now amounts to some $53,000,000, gold value. Guatemala, with six times as many people as Costa Rica, ranks below her in foreign trade. The per capita of foreign commerce done in the Central American countries is as follows: Guatemala $ 8.00! Nicaragua 13.50 Honduras 10.00 Salvador 10.00 Costa Rica 50.00 This tells the story of trade conditions In Central America, and the record of Costa Rica will commend that country to the attention of th outside world.

GLASSES ARE COMBINED. INGENIOUS DEVICE WILL GO A LONG WAYS TOWARD MEETING ONE OF THE GREATEST NEEDS OF ART. A process of photography which gives both perspective and relief, a process which will not only give photography new possibilities, but which Will actually open a new field both to science and to art, has been discovered by Professor Lippman of Paris, who had already made himself famous by inventions in connection with color Photography. The construction of his photographic apparatus, the professor explains, presents many analogies with that of the human eye and the eyes of mam mals generally, but he compares it, for ready understanding, to the stereoscope. The stereoscope is an optical instrument for giving to pictures the appearance of solid forms as seen in nature. It combines in one, through a bending of the rays of light, two pictures, taken for the purpose, from points of view a little way apart. It is furnished with two eye glasses, and by refraction or reflection, the pictures are superimposed so as to appear as one to the observer. Now the eye of the coleoptera is composed of a great number of small facets practically a multiplied stereoscope. Each facet reproduces" the whole of the object or landscape before it, but from its special angle. Taken together, they give the drop press, which cuts it into the outline form of a spoon, though from this press it comes out still flat. Then in another press the bowl of the spoon is formed, and then in still another the handle, and so at last you have the spoon In its complet spoon shape, in steel, ready now to be tinplated by dipping it in molten tin.

A LONG INVESTIGATION.

RESULT OF EXPERIMENTS LEADS TO STATEMENT WATER NEVER HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE DISEASE. Boston. Mass., Sept. 5. That yihoid fever and cholera epidemics are not caused by polluted drinking water s one of a number of statements in a book which the city of Lynn isnubishinsr. and which will be issued this week. The book was written by Edwin F. Dwelley, a Lynn engineer, who ast May was hired by the Lynn City Council to Investigate the Lynn water supply. After' four months of investigation. Mr. Dwelley. in -CO pages of type written manuscript, claims that Lynn s needlessly alarmed about the water; hat it Is perfectly healthful and beter than that which the metropolitan system furnishes; that there Is not the slightest danger of an epidemic from it, and that sanitation experts have worked the epidemic bogey to such an extent that cities and towns have needlessly spent millions of dollars to prevent what never existed. Agitated for Years. The Lynn water supply has been a subject of agitation for years. The ' present water board favors Installing a 6low sand filtration plant to improve It The board hired V. S. Johnson. of Boston, an expert and former mem ber of the State Board of Health, to investigate the supply, and his report recommended a filtration plant, saying that the supply was always In danger of contamination by typhoid germs and might cause an epidemic. Not satisfled with this report, the City Council hired Engineer Dwelley. Dwelley's report, which is to be pub lished in book form, because It is too long to read aloud before the ' City Council, attacks Johnson and other sanitation experts, and goes at length into the typhoid fever question. The statement that water has never hren known to cause typhoid is backed up at length. , HOSPITALS PLAII $1 per RATE Scneme Adopted in Brooklyn By Enterprising Man of Experience. THREATENS MANHATTAN. PHYSICIANS UP IN ARMS AT VISION OF REDUCTION OF THEIR PRACTICE AND LOSS OF FINANCE. New York, 8ept. 5. While Brooklyn physicians are up in arms against the operations of the newly organized $1 a year plan for doctoring as advanced by amedical service company, the Kings County Medical society will take no action, preferring to Ignore the aspirations of the new company. "They can squeal all they like." said the manager of the medical service company. "I am operating within the law and will so continue. Just wait until I get into Manhattan after I have established my stations in Brooklyn. "Three thousand eight hundred families have signed already for a dollar a year from this one Union street station, and I propose to ectablish, ten such stations in Brooklyn. Then we will start operations In Manhattan and broaden out until we have taken In the entire city. "Our contracts calls for treatment of eveiy member of a family, no matter how large the family. Then we compound the prescriptions of the doctors In our employ and the charge for medicines Is only 25 cents. "1 am going to put the 10-cents-a-week concerns out of business, too. Ten cents a week is 3.20 a year. We do the same work for $1 a year. One of these 10 cent companies recently sold $100,000 worth of Its stock, so good an investment is it considered."
