Time. weather. climate and soil seem
to have no effect upon asphaltum. On
the island of Trinidad. in the British
West Indies, are lodges of asphaltum
which project into the ocean. They
have been there. apparently for cen
turtles. Salt water breakers and waves
have pounded and hammered them
for years. yet their sharp. well-defined
edges prove that the pummelinS and
pounding which have worn away the
most obdurate of rocks have failed To
even round the edges of the asphalt
