for Road BUILDING
Tested.

From all over the country, pco-
pie who want to build roads are
sending to the Bureau of Road In
quiry, in Washington, samples of
materials, asking that they be test
ed. The samples are promptly
handed over to experts who put
them through variety of trials for
the purpose of determining their
usefulness. If the substance under
consideration is rock a piece of it is
ground in machine to finest DOW
der, mixed with water to dough,
and moulded into the form of a
small cylinder. This, when dry,
is put beneath delicate mechanism
which causes weight to fall upon
it repeatedly from height. The
number of blows it will endure be-
fore breaking determines the "ce-
mcnting quality" of the material.
When broken rock is put on
road, as in. macadamizing, it is
soon ground to powder, and when
rain falls, if it be the proper sort of
stuff, its particles will become ce-
mented together, so that the surface
OF the road is converted into a solid
and permanent pathway for vchi-
cles, off which water runs as from
roof. If on the other hand, the
cemcnting quality of the material
is poor, it will be washed away by
the rain and blown away in the
form of dust by the wind.
To test the strength of the rock.
the experts take another piece of it,
and, with the help of q diamond
drill, cut out cylinder an inch i'm
diameter. This they place under
the falling weight, letting the latter
drop from greater and greater
heights until the cylinder splits.
Thus they ascertain exactly how
much resistance the rock will offer
to pounding by horses hoofs and
crushing by wagon whccls-a ques-
ton of great Importance, inasmuch
as the stonc-built road, though it's
surface be converted into mass of
cemented PARTICLES, has founda-
ton of broken rock.
The Road Bureau also tests claws
for the making of bricks and pot
terry, and one thing it's experts have
ascertaincd is that the Elasticity of
certain clays-such as the kind
used by sculptors-is due to the
fact that they contain numerous
tiny particles which become sticky
under the action of water.
incidentally, experiments are
being made in the production of
concrete fence posts. 1t is believed
that such posts of artificial stone,
would save the farmers much trou-
bic and money. They could make
them in the winter time, when
there is not much else to do, and
once planted in the ground they
would never wear out. The ma
terials used are gravel, sand, cement
and water, which are mixed to-
gether and moulded in a wooden
trough, four thick steel wires being
run lengthwise through each post
to give strength.
