NEW TILE A SUCCESS
Reinforced Concrete Tile Being Made
Here is Thought Well Of


Here is Thought Well Of
A reporter for The Diamond Drill
visited the scene Of operations where
the concrete sewer tile IL being made
for the local sewer system during the
week aud found II very busy place.
The tile is manufactured by the
jackson Reinforced Sewer Pipe Tile
company, Of Jackson, Mich. and the
local Job is under the supervision OF
John welch, who is interested
in the company. This concern holds
the patent on this kind Of sewer tile
and their factory is kept busy and
their business is growing right along.
The mould for the tile consists Of
two steel sheet bands, one inside OF the
other aud both fitted 10 steel rim, SO
as 10 leave space OF about three
inches between them. This space is
filled with concrete just as any mould
Is filed The concrete Is tamped very
solid by workman who stands inside
the inner tube. When the space is
about third filled steel band about
i-inch wide and a quarter inch thick
Is laid down in the concrete. This
band has special appendages for fitting
into five steel rods that run lengthwise
through the tile and which are placed
into the mould before the concrete il
put In After placing steel band into
the mould the filling continues until
the tube Is two-thirds filled when a
second steel band is inserted in the
same way AZ the first and the filling
il finished A special mould is fitted
onto the rim so Ms 10 taper the edge TO
fit into the next tile. the steel rim
we mentioned having form mould SO
as to allow of one tile fitting into the
other just as the fianged glazed tile
does.
The concrete is allowed 10 set and
the steel tubes are then removed. they
being hinged 40 as 10 collapse when
desired. A single section Of the thirty
six inch pipe weighs 300 pounds.
The rods that run longitudinally
through the pipes have hooked ends so
that the hooks on one section ft into

The traditions that surround the fall

terse weather sayings that our grand
fathers quoted have been handed down
from one generation TO another since
the days preceding the Christian era.
Some come from the old Indian sages.
and others have been brought from
nearly every nation Of the world. and
are still current. It Is an interesting
study in origins for many Of the old.
est Indian proverbs Of this character
have been found intact in very ancient
Spanish lore.
Among the most familiar Of these
old prohecy traditions. as familiar 70

TO BLOW UP MOUNTAIN
Slate Company win Fire a Blast OF 220O
Pounds OF Powder.

Rutland, Oct. 3l.-Ho;el aud cottage
owners at Like Bomoseen are greatly
agitated over the probability that their
windows will be broken by an immense
blast to be fred soon by the Lake Bom-
oseen Slate company OF Fair Haven
at quarry directly across the lake
from the principal hotels.
The slate company intends at a cost
OF 5000 to blow off .he entire top OF
Cedar mountain, consisting Of hun
dreds of tons Of dirt, rock and trees
by one discharga of powerful explos
ives. Thirty-six holes have been
drilled and the blast will be set off by
electricity as soon as the weather is
favorable for drying the inside of the
holes. Engineers have studied the
matter carefully aud We decided
that it will require 2200 pounds of
powder and 100 pounds-of dynamite to
blow off the mountain top. No such
extensive blasting was ever attempted
in the history of Rutland quarrying.
The concern hopes to uncover an i'm
mense quantity of slate.
