GOOD
ROADS
FIND ASPHALT BY ACCIDENT
Discovered In Switzerland and used
for Purpose OF Extracting valu-
able eltumen.

Asphalt, though covering thousands
OF miles OF roads In all countries. was
discovered quite by accident. In tho
middle OF the last century Il was
found In Switzerland 10 its natural
state, and used for the purpose Of en-
tracing the valuable store Of bitumen
IL contained. In time 10 was noticed
that pieces Of rock which fell from
the wagons, and were crushed by thu
wheels. formed a very Hne road sur
face when half melted by the heat OF
the sun.
An experiment was made and q road
Of asphalt laid In Paris. II was so
successful that the new road material
became adopted through all the bia
towns Of Europe.
All sorts Of materials have been
tried since, from rubber to seaweed,
II is very likely. In fact. that In the
future the streets OF our big cities
will be paved with some form Of rub
Der mixture which will be practically
noiseless. Very extensive experiments
have already been carried out with
such O mixture.
In New York several streets ara
paved with steel, and steel road has
been in use In Valencia. in Spain. for
the last 20 years. Perhaps the most
curious material for road IL sea-
weed. This compressed into solid
blocks, is used to pave the streets Of
Baltimore. These seaweed blocks are
bound with wire and dipped into boik
Ing tar before being put to use.
