lIIPROPSR ArPELLAXIONS.—
In recent experiments
at the Great Exilfoition on the strength of cements, stones,
bricks, &c., amongst the material used were Portland stone
and Portland cement, anlit was with difficulty that some of
the foreigners present could be made to understand that the
latter was not made from the former, and we mention the
circumstance as an illustration of the erroneous impressions
given by improper appellations. It is the same with Roman
cement. A. scientific French writer in describing that mar-
vellous piece of construction, the Thames Tunnel, deceived
by the name, says that the engineer succeeded here by adopt-
ing the cement of the ancient Romans, although, as we
knew very well, she cement in question which really was
used Lad ne more to do with the Romans than it had with
tha Pope. —The Builcity,
