to examine and pass upon the strength,
durability and economy OF the Height 4

Asphaltum Pipe and Street Paving com.
pany and subjected the model TO the criti'
cal test. II was found that the pipe OF six
inches diameter, fed by force pump, stood
the test up to 100 pounds to the square inch.
Such q pressure no composition ever re-
ceived or stood. How much more it would
have endured the reporter does not know
as the water was turned OIL ut that degree
Of pressure.
Its composition ia Of sand SO per cent, II
per cent. asphaltum-other ingredients iron
ore, sulphur and gypsum.
For sewerage purposes there seems to be
no end to its strength and durability and
the city engineer, who was present ut the
trial test, thinks IL the desideratum for city
purposes. There are no elbows necessary
as the pipes are made to fit into each other
The committee represented by Chairman
Carter, were delighted with the exhibition
and hope the long vexed question Of the
how OF sewerage has been solved.
Any sized or shaped piping can be made
and the company invites the attention o
the public as directed to the advsability o
the use of this composition for Sidewalk
purposes.
The preparation will harden under hea
of 40 degrees Fsrenheit. The British peo
pie have endorsed and adopted the paten
aud signiiied their conviction that the pat
ent will be found unimproved when thu
last trump il sounded. The British low,
permanency and their endorsement is wortl
something.
