none have met with more than partial
success, until the introduction of ''Shil-

position is based upon the well known
qualities of Pbrtland cement, which.
however, have never before been SD
completely and satisfactory utilized:
This stone is composed of Portland
cement, sand and gravel, in certain
portions. and experience demonstrates
its adoption toevery purpose for which
stone is appropriated. and many where

Sidewalks, which are to be subject to
the ceaseless tread Of hurrying multi

thorough usage occasioned by the
handling of heavy machines, should
clearly be possessed of The essentials OF
strength durability and economy.
That these pertain in au eminent de-
gree to the Schillinger Stone is amply
! proven by the result of series of
experiments, carefully conducted by
abiest engineers of Europe and Ameri-
ca, including among Others of acknow-
led ged skill Maj. Gen. Q. A. Gilmore,
u. S. A. These experiments were
chiefly directed towards the exhibition
of the following qualities in this artl-
fetal product:
1st. Its tensile strength or ultimate
power of resistance. I'd. Its power to
withstand compression. Sd. Its in

The power required to rend asunder
one square inch of Portland cement,
32O days old, is found to be 1,152
pounds. The superiority of Portland
cement for a building material, as
compared with bricks, is shown by the
fact, that the former yields only to the
crushing pressure of 12O tons, while
Stafford blue brick pulverized at 30
tons, fire clay at 50, and Midway
pressed brick at 4S tons.
Another remarkable property of the
cement is the certainty with which 1t

cement and sand, withstand a pressure
of 160 pounds to the square inch at The
expiration of one week, 244 pounds iu
three months, 3lS pounds in twelve

censurable in the minds of these Ply
