Such plowing would ruerelv ilcc~r»

material which may be formed

If the subsorl is clay and the sri

face scant in sand or gravel, pit ing should not be resorted to as would result in a clay surface ravi er than one of sand or gravel

A road foreman must. knovv n only what to plow and what not i plow, brit how and when to plou If the road is of the kind vvhri

work out the sides, thus forming

Results from srrclr plowing are thi

in ditches a plow can be used to

good advantage, but should be fol- lowed by a scraper or grader.

FATE OF A PERPETUAL CLOCK

its Curious Mechanism and Conetrue tion and Singular Disappearance After Reaching China

ln the eighteenth centurv an iugerri

Tire clock itself was an ordinary

one, but of very strong and superior workmanship and was jeweled with dianronds at every bearing' the whole being lnclosed in a glass case which while it excluded dust, displayed the entire mechanism The fate of Cox: clock was brought to light in s work called Travels in Clrina,' prrblislreil in 1804 and written by John Barrow

in this book it is stated that in the

list of presents carried by ‘the late Dutch ambassador' were “two grand pieces of machinery that were part of the curious museum of Cox One of these apparently was this perpetual clock, and it was taken by the Dutch embassy to China where in the jour ney from Canton to Peking both the instruments suffered some slight dam age Efforts were made to repair them at Peking but on leaving tlie capital it was discovered that the Chinese Prime Minister Ho toharfg tong had substituted two other clocks of very inferior workmanship and had reserved Coxs mechanism for him
