In recent years it has come use into steadily increasing and most persons would be surprised to learn that the first asphalt roads were built some years ago in Babylon. The asphalt of that time, of course, was natural, manufactured underground in. Nature's refinery. But its values were appreciated then as they were centuries later by the Incas who established a magnificient highway system with a similar sub- stance. Out of a total of more than in 3,000,000 miles of highway the United States, less than four surper cent carry a high-typ- e face, the expense of such surfacing being prohibitive in all hut highly congested areas.

A Spanish navigator discovered the bJands in lfo.", but his country laid no claim on them and they were virtually forgotten. The British Captain Cook visited the islands in 177S and named them the Sandwich Islands. Still the islands were practically unknown. Then, following the close of the American Revolution, American ships began to sail the seven seas In growing numbers, and In 17S0 the first ship flying the American Hag from Boston visited the Hawaiians. It was the first of many from the same port, carrying traders, whalers and adventurers; and soon the natives learned of the Kepiiblie on the continent to the east and to acquire the ways of the white men. The Boston traders found each of the Islands under a separate king, with two rival rulers on Hawaii, the largest of the Islands. One of the latter obtained firearms and ammunition from the traders and got their assistance In building a "navy." With this American help he became the "Napoleon of the Pacific," conquered the other Islands, and as Kamelmmeha I ruled over the consolidated kingdom. His line died out with Queen Lilluo-kalan- l, and the United States came s kinds." It will be observed that Washington modestly refrains from statins how many of the the buffaloes fell from bullets from his rillo. On New Year's day, 1772, some friends called on Washington at Mount Vernon. Several days later he entertained them with a little hunting trip in the nearby forests which he tells about in bis diary in this brief way: "Went with the above Found both a bear and gentlemen. a fox, but got neither." Explorers Too Ready to "Pass Up" Australia The continent of Australia was not discovered until just before the American Revolution. Louis de Torres, bailing from Peru in lOOfi thought the northern Queensland coast was another of those island groups the Marquesas, Soloman, New Hebrides through which he had passed. The Dutch proceeding from Java several times met the west and north of Australia, but reported a barren wild country inhabited by barbarous, cruel, black people. Abel Tasman, In 1012 found Dan Dlemens Lund, Tasmania, and In 1G8S William left in disgust. Dampier, an English buccaneer, landed In West Australia, and the following year mapped the coast. In his report to King William he described the land as "sandy and waterless," with stunted trees, inhabited by "the miserahlest people A hundred years in the world." later the English scientific expedition under Captain Cook revealed the presence of wide belts of fertile land, and his landing at Botany bay, Sydney, April 28, 1770, resulted in another continent for the British crown. Charm of Mexico City All visitors to Mexico, of course, desire to see the nation's capital. Here Is a city of almost a million population, nestling high In a mountain valley. Its climate is said to be unexcelled any place on earth, with the warmest flays of summer never reaching 70 degrees. In Mexico City one may see a most cosmopolitan city with brilliant cafes and theaters, a sublime architecture, elegant stores to say nothing of such picturesque staples as the flower market and the thieves market. Close at hand Is JCochlmllco, the "floating gardens," and the pyramids at San Juan de Teotihuaean. In another direction is Cuernevaca. a resort even In the days of the Emperor Maximilian and now connected with Mexico City by a paved highway.
