“ one of thoso b 10 ECHOES FROM THE “TEROOM Qonclave of Mystic Shriners at the Cincin- nati Oasis. NOBLES FROM THE TANGIER TEMPLE Doings of the Knights of Pythias—Aneclent Order of United Workmen— Modern W.odmen— Other Societios. The annual conclave of the nobles of the Ancient and Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine at the oasis of Cincinnati has pass into history, and the pilgrimages of tho shicks and nobles ncross the burning sands 10 their homes in tho north, the south and east and west, have boen completed. At the onsis of Cincinnati the cup of hospitality was filled even unto the brim and tasted with o relish and praises by the weary no- bles, who traveled from far and near to join in the councils of the wise men and the foast- ing of tho followers of Ali. It was an occa- sion long to be remembered, and even the faithful camels sniffed the air in approba- tion. The nobles of Tangicr of the oasis of Omaha were there in numbers not too numer- ous, but those who journeyed to the Mecca made themselyes known even unto all, and bore home with them the good wili and kind remembrances of the visitiug nobles from all points of the compass. The well in the tem- ple of Tangier was visited by thc nobles,who have not forgotten the enjoyable times of one year ago, when they journoyed to the oasis of Omaha and found pleasare even unto the limit thereof. The roster of Tangier showed the follow- ing to be present: W. 5. Mount, Gustay Anderson and daughter, I C. Sutphen, John R. Porter, T. H. Humphreys and wife, Richard Smith, Frank k. Moores, H. C. Akin, 1. O. Rhodes, Mrs. I. O. Rhodes, R. R. Baughan, D. W. Van Cott, wife and son, Murs. Strong, Moritz Meyer and wife, Noble Hahn, D. H. Mercer. vler and wife.

On thereturn pilgrimage the nobles jour- neyed iu directions ploasing to themsely Colonel Moores and Dick Swmith were the ad- vance gunrd to arrive hero and they have been relating to the stay-at-home nobles wonderful tales of the convocation. Colonel Moores says he enjoyed himself more than when he ascended Eiffel tower and poured down upon the heaas of all Paris his famous ‘“Bottom of the Sea.” He pro- nounces the only clound on the horizon of enjoyment Congressman Mercer's persist- ency in fooding the camels on Agricultural department seeds, intended for his constitu- ency. “But,” says Colonel Moores, *‘we ap- preciated tho fact that Dave was unaware whom the seeds were intended for, and when he received a carload for the annual con- i distribution in his district he izhtforward concluded that Sterling Morton was a noble and had sent them to him to cast before the.camels, Naturall he forwarded them to the oasis of Cincin- nati at an enormous expense of ’steen dol- lars, instead of distributing them broadeast among the constitueney in Sarpy and Wash. ington counties. Dut with even this great trouble we had a time worthy of the event, and we found pleasure in anticipating the fact-that when Dave gets down to Washing- ton and has a fow confabs with Jerry Simp- son ho will know more about sumples of seads fromr ‘the Agricultural department, and thejr value us a vote getter, and will bo able to discriminate between a car load of pumpkin seeds and camel food.” The conclave commenced —with Monday and ended with Wednesday.

CORRECT LOCATION THE FIRST REQUISITE Instructive Faocts Gleaned from the Fx- perionce of Older Countries — How Roads Are Made and How They Are Kept In Ropair, 1. 1 am iudebted for much of what fol- lows to personal interviews with and documents furnished to mp by John Maclennan, esq., for some years prosi dent of the Association of Road Sur- veyors for Scotland. 1. Road Routes.—Other things being equal, a road route should b chosen having the froost exposure to sun and wind. 2. Gradients.—Gradients should not exceed one in forty. Easy gradients are preferable to dead levels, securing drier and more compact roads. 3. Foundations.—All roads should have foundations to be determined by the character of the soil on which they are laid. On roads of moderate travel, the soil light and the natural or unstoned road, well compacted, unbroken and of easy gradient, the necessity for special foundations is absent, und, according to Macadam, unnecossary. Whenover, however, the surface is broken either to elevate or depress, the ground should be well rolled or tamped. Where the soil is soft and yielding or an active traffic is likely, the foundations bocome important. Stones laid on their flattest side and compacted with broken metal, ashes, or the like, require to be carefully laid. Evon cement, in which gravel forms a useful constituent, be- comes essential if the nature of the soil is yielding and the trafiic heavy. New macadam roads are now generally made witha foundation from six to twelve inches of stone shivers, slag, brick rub- bish, or other inferior character, on which six inches of hard metal is laid. 4. Drains.—In forming road found tions the proper provision of drains is important. Th whether by side ditches or by lateral or transverso cave- fully constructed drains, are essential to a good and economical maintenance of a road under the best conditions. Existing conditions will determine their char- acter and mode of structure. 5. Character of Stones—The stones employed on Scotch roads are of the hardest and toughest obtainable. In these the gratites are by far the most serviceable, and that because of their unstratified character. Granite, named so from its coarse, granular structure, has for its prevailing elements a crystalline compound of three simple minerals—feldspar, silica or quartz, and mica—silica varying in proportion from 65 to 80 per cent, and usually in an amorphous _condition, cementing the feldspar and mica. Granite is capable of absorbing ten pounds of water per cubic yard=1.450 of its weight. Per- haps the most valuable stone for macad- amizing roads is the Welch stone, gro) wacke of Penmaenaur, in Wales, which while of the same weight as granite, is much harder and is so highly esteemed that enormous quantities are sent by ship and rail to the large towns in the north of England, Scotland and Ireland. . This shows the value of hardness in the metal for public roads. table may be of intorest: ®m The following d ou oouvys|sax STONE. ‘g o1unbs Jo Sujgsnay samoy ¥ uy paqaos -qu amres 30 UM 2.75 7.54 1partin1641. 2.67 5.74 1 part in490, ndstone, English. 2.41 4.38 1 part in 47. Of Scotch granites Guernsey is the most durable. The most important quality in stone for roadmaking is toughness. Mero hardness without toughness Is of 1o use, as such stone be- comes rapidly reduced to powder by the action of wheels. The sandstones and limestones are to be avoided because of their aftinity for water, by which in frosty weather, which has been pr ceded by wet, they are split up into pow- der and the solidity of the road is de- stroyed. 6. Breaking the Stone.—The quality of the stone proper for the metaling of the road is scarcely more important than its preparation. It should be re- duced to angular fragments of such a size that each picce will pass freely through a ring of two and one-half inches in dismeter in every direction. Broken stone is superior to gravel, and, wherever obtainable, should always be employed. Pebbles, when cleaned, never bind until ghey becomes ground and worn down and ave ineapable of sup- {mx'lingz the ‘n'u.-xs'ure of heavy wheels. f gravel be employed, experience seems to indicate that it is be: some binding material to adh to secure firmness and cohesion. There bas been introduced into the service of the roads in this district a stone breaking machine with good effect and economical results. The compara- tive cost of breaking stone by machine and hand labor is as 1s por ton for the former against 2s 3d per ton for hand labor. In a trial of the two systems 3, cubic yards of stono broken by machine cost £169 18s 7d, while the same quantity broken by hand cost £398 45, 7. Metaling the Road.—The founda- tion of the road having been carefully provided, and which, as has been stated, can be done either for roads of moderate travel by thoroughly drying and solidify- ing the soil by tamping or rolling, or, as recommended by able enginecrs for roads of larger travel, of using soft stones or cinders, the stones being *carefully set by hand, broad end down, in the form of a close, neat pavement,” there shall then be placed six inches of broken stone to such width as may be desired, but so laid that the entire width shall form & convex line or seg- ment of a flat ellipsis, the arch of which shall not exceed six inches in thirty foot. This shape not only assists the water to pass from the center toward tho sides, but contributes to the drying of the road by allowing the action of the sun and air to produce a great degroe of evaporation, The use of the steam voller in at once compacting and smooth- ing the road, it is believed, is becoming more and more acceptable, and produc- ing, both in construction and repairs, vory useful results, 8. Road Repair.—The following quota- tion from a report of Government Sur- veyor Maclennan is pertinent and com- ple “The chief end of road repair isa smooth, hard and slightly elastic sur- face. To secure this the metal should be of uniform size and quality. Small two-inch whinstone metal i3, in my Opinion, the best. Lavrge metal, although ever 5o well binded and rolled, will in a very short time present an uneven sur- face, not having the same capacity for forming into the concrete as when Hard and soft stones should not be mixed. The soft stones are quickly ground into mud, while the hard Graywacke protrude, rondering the surface rough and uneven. When, the surfaco is vory soroly worn T apply ;s small sprinkling of cflly m“;ilve o1 bad for the new material. sk of | this kind roquires cxperionce and oare, 1 bellove giving good oonyexity to the road. Water should run off quickly to avoid great waste and damage. After distributing motal g, stone rolier of one ton weight is used to segure a fair sur- face. In the matter of ‘binding’ 1 am convinced that where the subsoil is re- tentive and the surrounding ground wet, spongy, and of & clay nature, the less binding the better "for the road. A smooth and beautiful ‘surface may be quickly secured, but‘thé deterioration is equally rapid. The men appointed for surface repair have much to do with the road’s success and should be selected with great care 9. Foot Roads,—The provision of foot- paths is important, but seems not gener- ally provided for, When madoe, the rofuse of the road and gravel are used. 10. Depots.—On all important roads depots of stone occupying a small space, more or less frequently, along the margin of the road, are provided, whore the stone is broken, generally by hand, and kopt ready for use. 11. Effect on Property Valuation.—To this inquiry the prompt reply was: {‘Roads are the life and necessity and hope of all Scottish industriss, and their value increases rather than diminishes with railroad extension. Property would without them be comparatively valueless.” [ — PEOPLE AND THINGS, in World's fair finances are looking up and expenses are going down.
