TRY FERR0- CEMENT ROADS
experiments With This Substance in
France Have Been Highly
Successful.

"Ferro-cement" roads are being ex
perimented with in France. The sub.
stance is made Of cement mixed with
straw. To make a slab or block OF
terro-cement, a mass of iron.straw is
placed in the mold, and there is poured
over 1t cement sufficiently fluid to
penetrate into all the interstices of the
iron and completely cover it. When
the whole has set, the core of iron
thus intimately incorporated gives tc
the block great resistance to break.
age and to traction, at the same time
furnishing elasticity to compression
which enables 1t to stand superficial
shocks. A brick of ferro-cement l So
inches thick has supported during
crushing tests, pressure of about 6S
tons to the square inch. In breakage
tests, the resistance was quadruple
that of ordinary cement. Resistance
to wear was no less remarkable.

ELECTRIC MULES FOR PANAMA
Railroad to Be Built Along Panama
for Drawing SHIPS From Ocean

The first shipment of steel has been
made from New York for building a
unique electric railway along the Pan.
ANA canal for drawing great ships
from ocean to ocean. The enormous
volume of shipping across the isthmus
will be drawn on the ancient towpath
system so that it will be unnecessary
for steamers to proceed under, their

this curious towpath, powerful electric
locomotives will draw the largest
ships smoothly and swiftly across the
continent A steamer of, say 10000
tons. which the canal will readily
accommodate, is obviously very
heavy burden. and the electric loco.
