The building of bridges, the natural
difficulties of the country in which
the wars were fought, the methods OF
siege and storm, advance and at
tack by land and river, in open heid
and against walled cities, the details
of ancient military engineering, cos
tune. arms and all implements or
war. all these things are wrought there
with such a wonderful fertility of de-
sign and dramatic vigor of expression
as TO form a veritable encyclopedia
of Roman warfare of that period.

Wood Paving Was Tried in
London as Long Ago as 1889

AS regards TO wood paving It is in
+orasting TO note that while most peo-'
oIe think it a thing of recent Invention
il was tried in London as long ago
ne 1s39-hexagonal blocks Of fir wood
l,eing employed for the purpose. There
was trouble with the foundations at
first. and later when concrete fennda-
lions were introduced It wns found
that the soft woods then used We're
liable to decay and wore away rapidly
Tbe introduction of the Apstralian
hard woods satisfactorily solved the
problem of a durable wood paving. 4
secondary advantage Of the renarlne
OF the streets is that it win free q
large supply Of old wood blocks which
being impregnated with tar, make *
