aottI. stopper For rraxeIers.

What appears to be one of the best
devices for stopping bottles for travel
ers' use is made in Paris and consists
of a solid rubber cork having a pro-
longation at the top in the shape Of a
rubber tube portion Of about the same
length as the cork itself. and of slight
ly larger diameter, so as to come near
the size of the bottle fiange.
Fitting in the stopper, the flexible
upper or projecting part is then
turned down all around, SO as to fit
tight upon the bottle head and sur
round 1t for half an inch below the
top.
The whole then resembles what
would be given by cork and a metal
bottle cap of the usual kind, but the
use of rubber makes flexible pro-
tector. OF course. stopper and fiex-
ible part are all one piece of rubber.

short-Llved Truce.

Two Irishmen, long enemies, met in
thu street one day. Said one: What's
the sinse of two intilligint min goin'
along. year after year, like couple Of
wildcats spittin' at each other? Here
we live in the same block, and tbs q
burnin' shame that we do be actin
like a couple of boobies. Come along
wild yer, shake hands and wen make
up and be frinds." This they did, and
went to an adjacent saloon to cement
the friendship with glass of grog.
Both stood at the bar In silence, each
with drink Of whisky in his hand.
One looked at the other and said:
What are you thinkin' about?" The
other replied: "Ofm thinkin' the same
thing that you are" So" said the
FIRST one. we're startin' 1t agin, are
ye?"

Vitrified brick roads, according to
the road specialists of the department
OF agriculture, possess three distinct
advantages First, they are durable
under all traffic conditions; second.
they afford easy traction and mod
erately good foothold for horses; and
third, they are easy to maintain and
keep clean. On the other hand, they
are unquestionably expensive to con-
struct and the effort to reduce the
high first cost frequently results in
inferior construction and consequent
defects.
The cost of a brick pavement de-
ponds so much upon so many variable
factors such as the locality, freight
rates and the distance from brick
kiln that it is not possible to make
any definite estimates. The cost of
the rough grading, however, should
be considered entirely apart from the
cost of the pavement, for the grading
would have to be done no matter what
kind Of a road was TO be built. Ex-
GLIDING this item, the bulletin already
mentioned mo. 246) furnishes the fol-
lowing formula as a rough guide for
the probable expense of a brick road
with a six-inch concrete foundation
and suitable grades: Cost per square
yard equals IDOL, plus .213-C, plus
1855, plus .157-A, plus .040-B.
In this fomula C equals cost of
cement per barrel, S equals cost of
sand per cubic yard, A equals cost of
coarse aggregate per cubic yard, B
equals cost of paving brick per 1000,
and L equals cost Of labor per hour.
Thus, IL labor costs rs cents an hour,
the labor cost per square yard of
pavement will be 100 times 25 cents,
or 47.50 cents. The cost of the cement
per square yard will be 213 times the
price of barrel and so on with the
other items. 1t rs assumed in this
formula that all materials are deliv-
cred on the work. About 10 per cent
should be allowed for wear on tools
and machinery, and for every inch sub
tracted or added to the thickness of
the foundation there will be a CORE

land. Firmness is secured, II the road
has been properly drained, by making
certain that the roadbed is thoroughly
compact. The subgrade must be re.
peatedly rolled and reshaped until the
desired grade is secured.
Strong. desirable curbing is neces-
sary for all brick pavements in order
to prevent the marginal brick from be-
coming displaced, which event would
result in deterioration. finally spread
ing over the entire pavement.
One of the most essential factors Of
brick pavement is a firm foundation
upon which to lay the brick. The i'm
portance of this is evident when one
considers that the ability of pavement
to resist wear depends upon the
smoothness of the pavement and a
firm foundation. II the foundation is
poor one of the bricks may be easily
forced down, causing unevenness in
the surface. Where the traffic is COM
paratively light and the subgKade
composed of material that does not
readily, absorb water, broken stone
may make a satisfactory base. For
heavier traffic or where the material
composing the subgrade is at all I'M
stable a concrete base is necessary.
The stone base should be constructed
much as In the case of frst-class
macadam roads. Concrete bases may
be constructed of concrete composed
of 1 part Portland cement. parts of
sand and from 5 to z parts of broken
stone or screened gravel. Above the
concrete base a sand cushion to cor
rect slight Irregularities and to secure
an even surface for the brick is most
desirable. This cushion is usually
two inches thick. though in some
cases it may be only ~. It is impor-
tant to have the sand clean and dry.
After the brick has been laid upon
this cushion and the pavement gone
over carefully to remedy all defects
and remove all imperfect material, it
should be rolled with a heavy power
roller, gone over carefully once more,
and the joints then filled with some
material to prevent the brick edges

EARLY TROUBLES OF MEXICO


Toward the close OF the sixteenth
century the ports Of New Spain. es-
pecially Vera Cruz. we're visited by
those enterprising and interruptions
sea rovers of Britain Drake. Caven-
dish. Hawkins and others. who took
toll of coast towns and plate ships
throughout the regions which Spain
claimed as her own. but which pre-
tensions we're not respected by others
Of the maritime nations Of Europe.
A memorable period was this in the
history of the new world, as of the old,
for this food tide Of stanch bucca-
neers from Britain and Holland did
f~t swell onward and eliminate In the
defeat of the Invincible Armada of
the Elizabethan coast, 1888.
The student of the history of Span
ish America at this period will not
spare much sympathy for Spain and
Spanish misrule.
Under Philip II constant drain Of
treasure from Mexico and Peru for the
needy mother country had given rise
to serious abuses in the mines, and
silver was extracted to fabulous val
ues and sent to Spain under the sys
tenn of forced labor.

from chipping. OF the various mate
rails used for this purpose a grout
made of equal portions of Portland ce-
ment and sand mixed with water is
recommended. Sand alone is some
times used because of its cheapness.
but 1t is open to several objections
and it's use In the end is probably not
economical Portland cement grout,
on the other hand, binds the individ-
ual bricks together and converts the
pavement into what is practically a
monolith. Before the grout is ap-
piled the pavement should be swept
clean and be kept moist by gentle
sprinkling during the application, OF
which there should be two. At the
end of the second application the
grout should completely ill the joints
flush with the tops of the joints. The
final step is 10 cover the completed
pavements with a one-inch layer of
fine earth. This is done TO protect the
pavement from the weather and to
keep 1t in a moist condition while the
grout is hardening
The objection frequently made to
the grout-filled brick payement-that
1t is extremely noisy-may be over
come by the proper use OF longitudinal
expansion cushions placed alongside
the curb. These expansion cushions
are bituIninous layers from one
half to one and one-quarter inches
thick. varying with the width OF the
pavement.
in addition to the description OF the
various problems the new bulletin
contains in an appendix complete tJpi-
cal specifications for the construction
OF q brick road.

spending difference of 8 to II cents
per square yard.
Paving bricks should be uniform in
size, reasonably perfect in shape,
tough in order to resist crushing. hard
in order to resist abrasion, and uni
formly graded in order that the pave
ment may wear evenly.
A more important test is known as
the RATHER or abrasion test. In this
the bricks are subjected to destructive
influences similar TO those encoun-
tered in actual service, and the effects
resemble those which traffic may be
expected to produce upon the COM
pleted pavement. Briefly the test con-
sists OF inclosing 10 dried bricks in a
steel barrel in which there are also
placed a number Of cast-iron spheres.
Ten Of these spheres weigh each 71s
pounds. Enough smaller ones weigh
ing a little less than a pound are
added to make the total weight APP
proximately 300 pounds. The barrel
is then revolYed at the rate of 80 revo-
lutions a minute for an hour. AT the
end OF that time the bricks are taken
out and weighed, and their loss in
weight ascertained. In this test good
paving brick win lose from Is to "a
per cent of it's weight.
Equally important with the char
acter OF the, brick is the character OF
the roadbed Gu which II is to be laid.
The four essentials for the roadbed
arc thorough drainage. firmness. uni
1ornity In grade AL cross section,
and adequate rhou,aers. Where the
