Highway#—The Advantage of a Flat
Roadway.
Even where gravel employed has
been applied In road construction in
Maryland owing to its method of appll
cation the roads do not always main
tain their fonn as they should in wet
weather. This fault Is not usually due
to the material employed so much as to
an entire lack of proper grading and
onderdralnlng. Merely to throw some
gravel over a wet or spongy place
without raising the level of the road
bed or making any provision for the
drawing off of the water can never
make a road which will not cut through
and become muddy whenever the frost
comes out of the ground. The water
•Inks through the gravel covering Into
the clayey foundation and renders the
Utter yielding to the overlying road,
which pushes the wheels through the
gravel Into the clay or If the covering
la thin causes the clay to be pushed up
between the pebbles.
With proper attention toward grad-
tng, underdraining and the shaping of
glderable time, during which it
constant attention. Each year, ^
ever, the roadbed becomes firmer *am
ultimately nearly as solid as macadabi.

any particular thoroughfare would
warrant such an Improvement. The
crown or transverse slope of n road
should only be sufficient to carry the
surface water to the gutters. On dirt

the slope needs to Ik? more limn on a
macadamized surface, but never suffi
cient to cause inconvenience to travel.
One Inch to the foot or seven and n

road does uot ordinarily need so much
crown, depending on the grades. On
grades up to and Including four feet

Is sufficient; from four to and lnclud-
I tng six feet per hundred three-quarters
of nu Inch should be allowed. A trans-
I verse slope of more than one Inch per

A g*od gravel can always be told
when Inspected, as It stands In place
lu the pit. Wbenevey it is hard and

use of the pick to loosen It. It will form
a hard and compact road. Gravel
which contains a small nmouut of fer
ruginous clay aud has angular, rough
fragments of stone Is the l**st that can
be obtained. Gravel mixed with sand
or composed of smooth, rounded frag
meuts of atone does not compact and
form a hard, smooth road surface and
Is of little use except for general till

which Is formed of various sized fra;

State Hoad Supervisor Robert A. Mee

Mr. Meeker says the new method of
construction Is simple and cheap, that
It Is self healing when broken and
therefore practically Indestructible, that
It Improves with age, that It Is mud
less, noiseless and almost dustlesa and
that It Is not slippery even when coated
with ice.
In tho building of the road the origi
nal soil Is finely pulverized, nml then
Into this there is worked a mixture of
hot asphalt, the whole mass being firm
ly rolled In the finishing. Breaks are
quickly repaired by traffic, the weight
of wheels cementing them together.
The base yields slightly to heavy traf
fic and then regains its original shape.
It Is equally good for horapa and auto

Is likely that the result will tie a radi

But something of his old time pow-
•r to charm the gentler sex must havo
stood by him In his years of mental
and physical misery, for in his suit for
the widow Jumel’s baud and fortune
he won gloriously, dramatically. Re
buffed repeatedly, Burr finally de
clared In passionate rage that on a
given day he would arrive at the Jumel
mansion accompanied by a clergyman,
who should marry them on the spot.
He would give his prospective bride no
quarter, no chance of escape from the
inevitable.
She was amused at the threat and
dismissed the old man with more than
her usual coldness of demeanor. Bur»
stuck to his avowal and one July day
rolled up In a carriage, and with him
was a minister, the same who fifty years
before performed the marriage cere
mony for Burr and the mother of his
(laughter, the beautiful Theodosia.
There wtis something of a scene In the
old house on this day. There were
tears of anger on the part of Burr.
Relatives remonstrated: Burr remained
Immovable. All feared a scandal. The
minister, book In hand, stood unob
trusively In the background. There
were more tears, more declarations of
undying love, and the widow Jumel
became Mrs. Aaron Burr.
They were married In the great
drawing room of the Jumel mansion.
Burr squandered with reckless hand
the wealth acquired by Stephen Jumel
and left for the enjoyment of bis
marital partner. There were many bit
ter quarrels between the 111 mated pair,
and they were soon divorced. Burr
died In 1830, but madam lived until
1805, dying a recluse and a miser, the
money received from the Jumel estate
hoarded In an unused chamber.

London was Inundated with Scotch

go about nt night breaking their win

the chief instigator of the mischief, a
party of Scotchmen smnshed the win
