Portland Cement

Much confusion exists as TO
the meaning of the term Port
land cement" To correct the
many erroneous impressions as
TO how this kind of cement came
TO be named Portland" the
Riverside Portland Cement Com
pany has prepared the following
historical sketch, so that a bet
ter understanding of the term
may be more general.
Since the dawn of civilization
"lime" has been used as a bind
er in building construction; in
fact. as long as man contented
himself with simple structures
that had TO resist only the effects
of the atmosphere, he found lime
10 serve his every need as bin
der. With the rise of the Ro-
man empire, the want for a bin
der or cement that would hard
en- under water and resist its ac-
tion soon made itself felt. The
necessity for such material soon
produced il,
The Romans found that by
mixing about three parts of
slaked lime with one part of the
volcanic ash from Mt. Vesuvius
a cement resulted which would
"set up" TO a hard mass under
water. This cement was called
"puzzolane. and with il the fa-
nous Roman aqueducts and
public buildings were construct
ed.
Up TO the end of the eigh-
teenth century it served all the
needs of man as a cement. In
1895 John Sheaton, an English
man. was entrusted with the
building of the Eddystone light
house. He cast about TO find a
local material 10 displace the ex-
pensive puzzolane. He found
that by burning a certain chalk
and grinding it TO a powder he
obtained a cement that set up
very rapidly and was much
stronger than the puzzolane.
This he called Roman cement,
and with il he built the Eddy
stone light. This Roman ce-
ment was of a red-brown color.
In 1924 John Aspdin, a Leeds
mason, set about to make Roman
cement by artificially mixing
powdered limestone and clay.
and burning the mixture TO a
clinker. which was then ground
TO fine powder. After much
experimenting he produced a
product by this procedure which.
when mixed with water, "set
up" very rapidly under water to
a hard, stonelike mass of gray
color, resembling the famous
Portland building stone. From
this resemblance he called it
Portland cement. to distinguish
il from Roman cement and puZ-
zolane. Ii soon displaced all
other cements.
Portland cement. then. is an
artifciallyprepared product made
by mixing powdered limestone
and clay substance together in
definite proportions and burning
them to clinker, which is then
pulverized.
Since Aspdin's day great inn
provement in the quality of
Portland cement has been made.

of the chemistry of it. and TO

The increased use of Portland
cement in the last fifteen years
is truly marvellous. Up TO this
time we imported most of our
Portland cement from England
and Germany. In 1896 $500. 900
barrels were imported. and 600.-
900 barrels were made in this
country. In 1909 only 550,0 900
barrels were imported. while

Annie's beautiful teeth were
nearly all visible In the wide
Irish smile she gave me In return
for the well-deserved compli-
ment.
She looked tired and she had
lost much of her beautiful color.
And Is yer fut getting well,
Miss Margaret"
Yes, Annie, the doctor tells
me Il is, but 1t is terribly slow,
and I grow impatient waiting for
the time when / can walk again.
1T would not be hard for me
to sit around in this grand place
and be waited on" said Annie,
with a sigh. Its thinking I'd
be losing both me legs for that,
Miss Margaret"
"No, you would not-neither
would you be content to sit here
and do nothing. Rest Is sweet,
Annie, but absolute idleness is the
worst hell to which one may be
condemned"

Annie murmured under her
breath, but l caught the words
and asked:

the veterinarians representation that
the imported animals would be GER

among the old and diseased stock that
consent was given for the test. In
this connection, he calls attention to
the fact that the milk ordinance does
no require the testing of animals
other than those from which milk is
sold, and he urges upon owners of
such the voluntary submission of their
cows to testing. Only small mum.
