The report that small pox has broken out at Steveston has been confirmed. An .Indian of one of •the northern tribes is the victim, .and as a result all the people of his tribe have been quarantined, and great care is being taken so that the disease wilLnot spread. A small pox scare was gotten up at the Albion cannery the other day but it turned out to be a case of German measles. Dr. Wilson, health officer has been vaccinating people the last few ,days along Westham Island. The Market. Westminster, Aug ist.—There was a fairly good market in fruit but most other lines were slack. Quite a few potatoes were offered ;but buyers were scarce. Early .apples were readily cleared.

Broken sto»e, when of suitable quality and properly applied, is a more durably surfacing material than is gravel. Owing to the greater cost, however, it is used by those townships only which have not a •upply of grayel. As ordinarily used broken stone gives Jess satisfaction than gravel, because the latter binds quickly under traffic pwing to the presence of sand and clay. To jet the best service from broken stone a road rpller should be used to consolidate |t; otherwise the stones roll {Loosely for a considerable length of time, The feeling of councils with f egard to its use is that it makes a passable road for a short time in fall and spring, but that a good dirt for •ummer nse is spoiled. Townships Which have only broken stone for road metal, will receive decided benefit from th« use 'of a steam roller, which will at once consolidate the stone and make a thoroughly good and smooth road for all seasons of the year. The different kinds of stones for macadam roads cannot well be approached from the standpoint of flames. Granite, limestone, sandstone, are names of different rocks common in the province of Ontario, but to say that granite is better than limestone, or that limestone is better than sandstone, while true, perhaps, ofthe best qualities of each, may be quite ingorreot since a good sand- Stone may be inflnfeely preferable to » POOf Mpkfa* is!Jsuff.q*!.|;»ii \"i 1 j!\"^» •■MsssjaDaasMSiiae jng„,effect ofthe atmospher^is ,pne of very great jmportahce. Th.e denser stones, those which absorb the least water, are usually best abje to resist the injurious action of^rostand moisture. The weight of a stone is usually some indication pf durability in this respect, the lighter stones being those of less' density, and in consequence are the less desirable. There are other'features which a good rock for road-making should possess. When crushed they should break into a compact form. A stone that, in breaking, takes thin, flaky shapes, will not wear so long as one that breaks into cubical pieces, nor will it consolidate so readily in a road-bed, for a wheel, in passing over the side of a flat stone, will throw it out of place and loosen the stones adjoining. The tests usually applied in determining the qualities of stone are those which indicate crushing strength; the power to resist impact and abrasion; the density, determined by the weight ofthe stone; the amount of water absorbed. While elaborate trials may be made, a practical man can judge of the qualities of a stone by applying simple tests; by breaking the stones with the hammer; wearing it on a grindstone; crushing it in a blacksmith's vice; scratching with an iron nail; breaking small pieces with the finger. By such simple means, a general idea of the stone can readily be formed, but no test is so conclusive as actual wear on the road. Broken stone produced from boulders is objected to as road metal on various grounds. The rounded sides will not permit consolidation with the minimum of vacuum. If they have been exposed to the atmosphere the boulders are very apt to be decomposed, are soit and will crumble readily. The mixture of different kinds of rock on the road surface, some hard, some soft, permits unequal wear, and produces a rough surface. While these are defects which certainly are not to be overlooked l;i the choice of a road meatl, boulders, nevertheless, constitute a very valuable material for the construction of a road, particularly in localities where they are plentiful and gravel or bed rock not readily obtainable. In selecting field boulders, care should be taken to discard all rock which shows signs of having \"weathered\" or decomposed by the action of the atmosphere. Sandstones and granites are peculiarly subject to this disintegration, while soft limestones are very common. Rocks which should be condemned Yom this cause are those which ?rumble readily under successive blows of a hammer, or which show iron stains when broken. A little experience will quickly teach a judicious roadman to detect the •itone which is unfit for road purposes. FOUND A Fishing Boat. Boat marked, \"K. T.
