New ideas in paving have lately at
tracted attention, says Siftings. Amons
these Is the paving Of bridge by a Ger
man engineer with india rubber, the re
suit having been 30 satisfactory as to in
duce its application on n much large,
scale. point in its favor being that it i
much more durable than asphalt and no,
slippery.
In London section Of the roadway
under the gate leading to the departure
platform OF the st. Pai.cras terminus
has for some time past been paved with
this material, with the effect OF deaden-
ing the sound made when being passed
over on wheels, besides tho comfortable
elasticity afforded TO foot passengers.
Another material which Is being satis-
factorily introduced for this purpose a
composed OF granulatcd cork and btu
men pressed into blocks, which are laid

When carefully built, stone culverts
are not bad. but they are expensive to
make well. and as rule their sides are
laid up so carelessly in dry walls of such
small sized stones that they are liable to
upheave and be thrown down by frost.
Moreover. the fiat stones laid across the
top are often so badly dressed and fitted
together that the gravel covering them
keeps sitting through the cracks. filling
up the culvert and exposing holes on
top, which are either chinked up with
cobblestones or left bare until some
horse gets hurt and a row is made. with
the only result that more earth is spread
over, and the same process is kept up ad
