A New Substitute for Asphalt.

Engineering News.
Germany possesses no quarries or
bituminous limestone suitable for
street pavements. The chemists of
that country have often tried to find
an artificial substitute, but never
succeeded. The compositions lacked
the necessary strength and elasticity,
although every possible combination
of limestone and bitumen was tried.
Herr Busse, a chemist of Linden,
near Hanover, noticed that all artifi-
cial asphalts lacked a certain gummy
oils existing in the natural stone.
This led him to experiment on mix
lures of finely powered stone with
these oils, with the result of produc-
ing a material said to be very similar
to natural asphalt.
The material is claimed to be abso-
lutely impervious to the action of the
weather. At the government testing
bureau at Charlotten burg the COM
pressive strength was found to be
about 2900 pounds per square inch.
In some experiments in Hanover it
was found that a layer of the ma
terIal two inches thick would stand a
pressure of 500 pounds per square
inch. The difference between
this figure and that just given Is
probably due to the fact that the
government tests were made on CEN
timeter cubes. About 500 square
yards were laid IN Hanover in the
summer of 1887; this surface has
worn so well that 1870 square yards
are now being laid in that city. Ber-
lin, Hamburg and Cologne have be-
gun series of tests also.
The compound is said in a similar
manner to asphalt. For streets a
concrete foundation 8 inches thick is
laid, and on this enough of the hot
powder is spread to leave a 2 inch
layer when well rolled.
The cost of this pavements is not
given, and, as the Schweizerische
Bauzeitung, to which we are indebted
for these notes, states the new inven-
ton must not only be as serviceable
but also as cheap as the natural as
phalts in order to compete with them.

For Civilization to Read.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 5.--The
barkentine "Catharine Sudden" has
arrived at Port Townsend from ST.
IBERIA. Her commander, Captain John
Thomas, of this city, gives descrip-
ton of Russian exile system as wit
messed by him. He describes the
brutal scene which he witnessed on
Coghalian Island, a famous exile
prison. A large party of exiles of all
ages, heavily manacled, were being
taken to the island. A few old men
whose strength gave out fell from ex-
haustion. The brutal driver acting
under orders from his superior, shot
the unfortunate men and removed
their chains. No mercy or discrimin-
alton was shown. Wives saw their
husbands killed before their eyes;
mothers saw their daughters outraged
and insulted. The exiles were driven
like cattle, heavy whips being used to
urge them on.

of the constitution extending the righ
of suffrage to women. He said Pres i
dent Harrison had endeared himself to
the people of Wyoming by observing the
spirit of the Republican national plat
form, respecting the appointment of
Territorial residents to the Territorial
offices, and with more manhood than
his predecessor, saying No to Eastern
otiice-seekers. Neither political party
could make point by obstructing the
admission of Wyoming. She had sufficient
people; she observed the laws; she had
no ,factional quarrels. Wyoming, young
and enterprising, would hasten to over
take older States, and help them bear
the burdens of the Government.
Dockery, of Missouri, opposed the
bill. He said it was nothing more or
less than a partisan measure, designed
to perpetuate the power of the Republi-
can party. 1t (like the Idaho bilD
should be called bill to add three
electoral votes and two Senators to the
Republican column in 1892.
Oates, of Alabama, opposed the
measure because it proposed to give
women the right to vote, and made at
tendance at schools compulsory.
DullIlell, Ol MlllleSOld, was lnclllleu 10
vote against the bill on account of the
woman's suffrage clause.
Washington, of Tennessee, attacked
the woman's suffrage clause and
held that the people of Wy
oming violated the provisions of
the act Of organization, limiting suffrage
to white male suffrage. Women might
be sent from Wyoming to the Senate.
Taylor, OF Ohio-Don't you think that
to put a good woman into the Senate
might help it some? Laughter
Washington-If the gentleman him
self were in the Senate, l might admit
his proposition.
Kerr, of Iowa, thought the opponents
OF the bill were in bad straits, if they
fell back for objection upon the woman's
suffrage provision.
Kelly, of Kansas, said he would not be
frightened If women had seats on the
floor OF the House, and perhaps it would
result in its benefit.
Morey, of Ohio. favored the bill, and
advocated the civil and legal enfran-
chisement OF women in all the States of
the Union. After further debate, the
House took a recess until II O'Clock to-
morrow.
