would require a man at each end.

IN making mixture consisting mainly
of carbonate and sulphate of soda,

can be skated on with ordinary ice
the resistance of the surface is
just equal to that of ice, it looks like ice,
and indeed when it has been skated on
and got ''cut up" a little, the deception
is quite astonishing.
