The third section of the exhibit of
the Chemistry Division will be illus
trative of the physical and chemical
constitution of the materials used in
the construction of roads. The impor-
lance of good roads to the progress of
agriculture is universally admitted and
the Secretary of Agriculture has lately
established in the Division of Chenlis-
try Road Material Laboratory
The object of this work is to deter
mine by careful chemical and physical
tests the composition of the materials
best suited to the manufacture of good
roads. The exhibit will consist of the
road materials Ell bloc, together with
the results of artificial attrition. The
fine dust obtained by this process il
nodded into cubes under great pressure
and then subjected to the blows of a
small hammer until disintegrated. The
cubes of these materials will be exhib-
tied, together with the fragments OBJ
tanned by their disaggregation under
blows of given magnitude. The chem
ical composition of these materials is
also carefully studied and will be
shown in appropriate tables
From all these experiments the CO.
efficient of wear is calculated, thus
showing the utility Of the material in
