In France every carrier's and every market cart, instead of injuring the highway, improves it. In the fourwheeled vehicles in that country the rear axle is i4in, longer than the fore, and as a result the rear wheels run in a line about an inch outside the level rolled by the front wheel. After a few loaded waggons have passed over a road the highway looks as if a steam roller had been at work. A national law in Germany prescribes that waggons heavily loaded must have tyres not less than 4m. wide.- In Austria the minimum for similar vehicles is 6£in, in Switzerland 6in.
