CONCRETE IN Cha SSIC DAYS.
From the Cement AgeO

In describing the extent to which con-
crete was employed In the construction Of
many OF their more important structures
by the Romans, a writer states that In all
OF the work he had examined the marks
Of tho wood forms are at all times dis
cernible and especially Is this so In the
corridor of the house OF Augustus. on the
Palantine, here the grain of the wood
can be clearly seen. These walls are some
twenty four feet above the ground level.
and though the construction Of the forms
seems to have been carelessly done, the
result Is none the less Interesting. Here
is a splendid opportunity to see concrete
and to loisurely inspect 1t from every
point Of vantage Above these concrete
foundations rose the palace of Augustus.
formed of those stupendous walls and
vnults of brick which here. as elsewhere
in Rome, thrust their arches through the
air with such pOise and precision that
they are to this day the admiration of
every beholdcr and gave to the Romans
their position among the master builders
of the world. The structure OF brick above
these concrete walls has succumbed to the
ravaRes OF time and to the hand OF the
destroyer. but the concrete remains with
out crack or fracture that could be
discovered by careful and frequent exam
nation. Its adhesion Is perfect. and there
has not been the slightest disintegration
Of even the outside surface Is attested by
the fact that the grain Of the wood from
the old froms may Still be seen In the
concrete, though its imprint was made
over two thousand years ago.
Some recent excavations at the Arch of
Titus have disclosed the fact that this
structure rests entirely upon monolithic
base Of concrete, approximately forty-hve
feet long. twenty feet wide and twelve feet
deep. This foundation was poured into
wooden frames exactly ms We would dc
II now, and when the concrete has Set
these wooden frames were removed.
Directly In front OF the ruins Of the
Temple of julius Is large concrete base
In which also the verticle marks Of the
wooden forms can he plainly seen. The
excavations here do not permit view OF
this entire structure but enough appears
to give fair idea Of It's state Of perscr-
walton, which is perfect. There Ia not a
crack or fracture In It, and though loca-
| ted In a marshy part Of the Forum, "
shows no effect from the moisture &c
which 1t has been subject for so many
centuries.

TEA TABLE ETIQUETTE.

(From the London Chronicle.)
Tea table etiquette was somewhat
complicated In the days OF that hard
ened and shameless tea drinker" DR.,
Johnson. when many people thought
nothing OF drinking ten or twelve
cups at sitting, 1t was considered
proper for the cups and saucNrs OF a
party Of tea drinkers to be all passed
up to the hostess In one batch when
replenishmcnt was considered neces-
sary. and In order that each person
might be sure OF getting back the
right cup the teaspoons were number
ed. When the cups were passed up
those who did not require any more
were supposed 10 place the spoon In
the cup. This writer remembers n very
ancient dame teaching a small boy to
place his spoon in his cup after the
first cup had been emptied. He won
dered for the reason. Now he knows
that tea was once very expensive and
little boys were not expected to ask
again.
