ing treated with ,ar, it acts as a
binder and. a waterproof blanket in
minimizing erosion and fractures to

strated to South Carolina as the re-
edit of experimental work by the new
uses division of the Cotton Textile
Institute Inc., whose experiuloute
were begv.n in 1926,
"The expansion of domestic and:
foreign market's for cotton and cot-
ton products through • the develop-
ment of new uses and the extension of
existing uses," says Ernest C. Morse,
who Is in charge of the work, is a
stated purpose of the Cotien Textile°
Institute Inc., formed in 1920.
In the experiimntai work of the
use of cotton In roadbuildizig two
stretches have been laid in'- South
Carolina in wince cotton has been
utilized with the bituminous surface
treatmenrt of earth -type roads, the
first being a stretch of 1,500 ,feet in
Newberry County, . laid November,
1928, when the cotton reinforcement
was employed over the entire width
of the road.
The Newberry road. proving Highly
successful, a ;aecoud experiment was
determined upon and a mile stretch
of, road was laid. in. Spartanburg
County in June, 1928. This differed'
from the' first experiment in that the
fabric reinforcement was laid only
along the shoulders or. edges of the
road, not covering the centre of
crown, the first experiment having
proved that the hardest wear is on
the shoulders of the, road through
steel -tired traffic, eazlsing fractures or
breaks along the shoulders that do
not come in the centre of the road..
A waterproof blanleet spread over
the top of a 'thoroughly prepared
earth foundation is *bat this road
treatment mainly consists of, and the
thorough preparation of the earth
foundation.
Should fractures or cracks appear
in the surface of the road, it hae.. been
found that rays of the sun will suf-
ficiently soften the asphaltic oil and
cause it to rebind, even after it has
been laid for several months.
A division engineer of the State
Highway Comaiissioix as au experi-
ment raised the cotton fabric along
the edge of the road, which caused
fractures and. breaks to occur in the
wearing surfece, and =nand that when'.
he dropped the fabric back in place
and pressed it down with bis foot, all
cracks and frae.unes closed up.
Tho completed stretches of road
have demonstrated the; suitability of
this type of construction for .rural
roads: The cost o1' the type of con
strection, used for this experiment in •

Hemisphere.'
"Columbus, skirting the west shore
of the Caribbean Sea in his futile
search for a short passage to Cathay
with its fabled riches' of gold, silver
and precious stoneS," Writs John F
Stevens in It e iaheering, "visited the
sh6nas of Panama en his fourth and
last teoyg'ge In 1502. He named the
harbor of Porto Bello and examined
Limon Bay, which is now the Atlan-
tic entrance to the Panama Canal. All
history points to the conclusion that
Columbus died In the belief that the
lands which he lead discovered were
a part of the continent of .Asia, The
cosmography of those far away days
was incomplete ,and misleading, but
it was shortly to be extended, modi-
fied!, and corrected by a goup of ad-
venturers,'the story of whose exploits
would furnish material for another
,immortal Odyssey.
"Sir Francis Drake visited the
Isthmus • in 1570.. Fifty-seven years
before Drake, however, Balboa had
crossed the Isthmus, somewhat south-
east of the line of the presentcanal,
aud undoubtedly was the first white
man to view the Pacific Ocean. The
hope of finding a hidden strait con-
necting two great oceans persisted
long years after Balboa's discovery,
and it is a most interesting fact of
history, that it was four hundred
years, almost to a day, September 26,
1918, when .such a strait was given
to the world, but it was not a strait
made by nature, but by` man -- the
Panama Canal.
"As nothing in the nature of a
straight could be found north of Ma-
gellan, which would allow of the pas-
sage of ships from ocean to ocean,
the persistent leaders began to talk
of making one. Saavedra, who ac-
companied Balboa on the latter's visit
to the Isthmus which resulted itI the
discovery of the Pacife Ocean, is said
to have been the first to prepare plans
for a canal, which, it is claimed, he
did in 1529. From that time on,
through centuries, several nations-
Spain, 'Prance, Britain, and tate Unit-
ed States _> made surveys, and de;
veloped ' projects. Nothing tangible
or conclusive, beyond surveys and dis-
cussion came out of it all, until the,
i11 -fated de Lessee's project was
launched; with loud acclamations, in
1882.
"The history of the failure of the
French is of a time too reeenaand too
fresh: to need repetition here. With
an ample supply of funds, their at-
tempt to build any sort of canal there
would have failed, as undoubtedly
would the Americans have failed -un-
til the great scourge of the white
Iran in the tropics—yellow fever—
had beeta mastered.The de Lesseps
Company was reorganized in October,
1894, and continued, operations on a
very limited scale, until its rights and
property were purchased by the Unit-
ed States under the Act of Congress
of:Juue 28, 1902. As soon thereafter
as conditions and events permitted,
he active work of construction of a
eanal was begun by the United States
Government, and pushed to a sue-

Ancient Monument Said to lie Nent'ly .;
3,500 .Years Old.
Not many of the` thousands of peo-
ple who =nave seen Cleopatra's Needle
could say p rcciiely what it is, or how
it came to be in its present position
on the Thames Embankment, London.
The Needle is :the most ancient
monument that London possesses, be-
ing nearly 3,500 years old. It is one
solid block of stone, covered with
hieroglyphics, weighs 180 tons, and
stands 70 feet high.
Foe 1,500 years it stood in front of
the Egyptian temple at Heliopolis,
but in 23 1:3.C., the monument was
removed to Alexandra- to adorn the
new palace of the Caesars. The fact
that Cleopatra 'helped to plan the
palace gave the Needle its name.
For fifteen centuries it remained at
Alexandria—tong after the great pal-
ace bead .fallen into ruins. About 300
years ago it fell to the ground as a
result of the encroaching sea.
After being offered by the Egyp-
tian Government to George IV. and
William ;IV„ who both refused it, the
Needle w.ifs' accepted by Great Britain,
Prof, Erasmus Wilson offering £10,-
000 to meet the expenses 01 trans-
portation,
The Needle was transformed into a,
ship, being encased.in stout timbers,
and the floating cylinder was fitted
out as a , Sea -going craft and rained
tho Cleopatra.
The Cieopatee was taken ihntow by
the Olga, ,but the journey to England
was fraught with many disasters, and
it was not until the jenttary of 1,878
that the Needle finally arrived in
London, In September 01 that year
it was lowered with great ceremony
into its present resting -place.

Fortune-tellers, who have been pa-

alike for centuries in China, must

It is not yet clear whether the or-
der applies also to astrologers, who

• THEY LOST THEIR BEER
Teeswater Booze Snatchers Get Wise
To Wet Cargo of Three
Winghamites.
On Friday night last three young
men of 'le/Methane coming front the
North, presumably Walkerton or For-
mosa, had some trouble with their
Car lights and stopped in front of the
Vendome. This was their misfortune
for no sooner had they left the car
when somebody, nobody seems to
knowwho, w no, hsd a hunch that Cher
might be a wet cargo aboard. It
was a case of now you have it and
now you haven't, so quickly did the
beer disappear. The owners said
there were three cases of beer miss-
ing when they came back to the car'
and they used up enough of the
Ring's English, good and bad and
some of it real bad, .to convince the
listeners that they were in real earn-
est.
Well whoever got the beer used
discretion in consuming it, as . far as
we cati learn, for no inebriates have
been heard, seen or reported.
This is the third time that beer car-
goes have been misappropriated in.
sonar precincts and those who tote li-
quor through Teeswater should know
better than to stop and leave their
wet geode unprotected. :However
these practical jokers will some day
make a'mistake and find that the joke
has developed into a theft charge.
