ASPHALT PAVEMENT.
A Remarkable Test Made OF That
Material.

The great desirability of asphalt
pavement because of its smoothness,
cleanliness, and beauty, as well as alb
sence OF noise, have long been recog-
nized. On the question OF it's durabil-
ity and power OF carrying heavy traf-
fic, the following from the Denver Re-
publican OF July % is OF interest:
An enormous stone weighing 100000
pounds, was drawn up Fifteenth-st.
over the asphalt paving from Lari
mer-st. to Broadway yesterday morn
ing without damaging the street sur
face at all.
The heavy stone. measuring six
teen and a hall feet in length by four
feet wide and four feet high. loaded on
a wagon with only five inch tires and
drawn by fourteen horses, was driven
slowly up Lar.mer-st. to Fifteenth.
1T was at this point that the in
terst in the proceedings commenced,
for the Barber asphalt laid on this
thoroughfare was to receive the most
severe test that il ever had.
-Four stops were mace. one being
seven and one-half minutes In length
at the corner OF Stout. and 1t was then
that the durability OF the paving was
tested 70 it's utmost.
"Forty-six thousand pounds-for the
wagon weighed three tons-rcsting
dead weight on four points only five
inches wide would cut into almost any
street paving that ever was laid, but
not so with the asphalt. No mark OF
trace of any description was made on
the paving by the enormous weight
The load proceeded along the way
without accident until an attempt
was made 70 cross the cable tracks
near the Fiftcenth-st. Theatcr.
'.At this'point the stone paving wai
crushed 10 powder and the team had
niierable difficult V IN z ting across
to the firm asphalt paving on the side
30 other accident occurred and the
,,ad arrived safely at the capitol.
"The toothings on the side of the
cable tracks were crushed when the
heavy load passed over them in cross
ing from side to side. and the asphalt
between remained unbroken or even
cracked in every instance. The cement
nosing on the sides was also pulvcrized
In one place when one of the wheels

and impressed in the British service.
He was retained in the service for five
years and finally, after his release,
