USE CONCRETE FOR STRENGTH
Old wrouoht-tron Trestis Approaches
to Oas~ille Bridge lncAsed With
Adhesive Material.

A most important use of concrete
tn engineering structures is the meth
Cd which has been adopted for the
strengthening OF old wrought-iron
trestle approaches to the Danville
(In) railroad bridge and the St.
Charles bridge. These structures.
which were built many years ago,
we're constructed of Phoenix columns,
with diagonal tie rods With the great
Increase that has come Of late years
In the weight Of trains. 1t has become
necessary either to strengthen these
trestles or remove them altogether.
The former course was followed: and
the method adopted was to incase the
columns In concrete. Tests of the
strength OF these reinforced compress
sion members show that the addition
of the concrete raised their strength
fully SO per cent.

Cork Flooring for the Kitchen

An excellent new material is coming
into extensive use for kitchen floors.
1t Is flooring made from squares of
cork, pressed under powerful weights
and baked. Each tile is about one-half
inch thick. in the natural cork browns.
The tiles are set into plaster base
and become part of the floor. They
are expensive, but for a permanent
nome they cannot be excelled, as the
flooring thus produced is impervious
TO wear and will not absorb grease or
water. The great point is the resttul-
ness to the feet that such a surface
gives, besides its sanitary and artistic
qualities.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.
