NEWS NOTES. 



Harry Clark of Sharon. Pa., lost his 

 entire stock of plants on February 8 

 through the failure of his steam boiler 

 to do its work. His loss is estimated 

 at $1.5(iii. and lie will be forced to re- 

 tire from the business 



Consul Baehr of Cienfuegos writes 

 that the Cuban government, in con- 

 nection with the second international 

 automobile races of Cuba, to he held 

 on Feb. 12, will experiment, at a cost 

 of more than $GO00, with a new process 

 for laying dust. The races will be 

 run over a 50-mile track, which will 

 be sprinkled with an emulsion of 

 asphalt, a process not heretofore tried 

 in any country. From experiments 

 carried on it is believed that the as- 

 phalt sprinkled road will be a success, 

 as it promises to be a great improve- 

 ment, over the oiled roads, laying the 

 dust J'or a much longer period of time. 

 The work will be done with street 

 sprinklers. The asphalt will be re- 

 duced to the finest kind of powder. 

 This will be mixed with a solution of 

 alkali and water and sprayed from 

 the sprinkler. Should this experiment 

 prove successful, the new process will 

 no doubt be universally adopted.
