cork stone Pavpments.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A new German building and flooring
material is known as Knocks cork stone,
is damp proof, absolutely water proof and
practically fire proof; is sound proof ana
almost proof against wearing out. 1t can
be blocked and colored to represent tilng.
or can be finished to represent any wood
design; can be vanished, polished,
stained or finished in almost any way
desired. 1t is very easy to the foot in
walking, harbors no insects of any kind
and is very easily kept in order Best nf
all, it is simply and easily made. The
refuse from cork factories is ground up
into meal and mixed with a similarly
made tan bark meal; with these is mixed
some ground peanut shells or like vegc-
table matter, together with paper waste,
alum and water. The mass is nodded into
bricks and dried in the sun or in kilns,
when it is ready for use The same IN
ventor has produced another material
which he claims is not only as good as
cork stone, but very much better.

Mrs. Evans, though frightened. first
asked: who's there?' and received
no answer. She then called and
screamed alternately for her father

disturbed her was the rafting of a
real door followed by a scratching at
the kitchen window.
