Pacing the Streets
With Stones
Of Glass.

Mention was made in these columns
some time ago, says the Philadelphia
Record, that the experiment of using
glass for street pavement had been
found to be very successful in that IL
was very durable, but that the first
cost of the material made the scheme
almost prohibitive. Now comes the
word that the cost has been reduced by
the discovery of NJ. Garchy, a we'll
known French scientist, who has de-
yised a process of melting all kinds OF
old glass and transforming 1t into ma
terial as hard and serviceable as Bel
gian blocks.
Although the process has just been
announced to the public, 1T was dis
covered many years ago and has Deen
in the course of perfection. In 1898
he obtained permission from the mu-
nicipal authorities of Lyons to pave a
portion of one of their main streets
with this new material and thus prove
to the world the value of his discovery.
The street selected was a principal
thoroughfare, which was under con-
tinuous and heavy traffic. and yet the
glass is still as sound as when first
put down.
NJ Garchy claims for "ceramo-crys-
tal," as he calls 1t. that it can be manu-
factured at much more reasonable
figure than any other reliable build
ing material now on the market in
Europe or America, and that 1t is prac-
ticauy indestructible. It is also highly
attractive and artistic in appearance.
and NJ Garchy fully expects to see it
taking the place of the building ma
terials now in use.
