PAVEMENTS OF RUBBER
Expensive as Vet But a Distinct Prob-
ability of the Future
It is not yet practicable to construct
roads with surfaces of rubber except
at a cost of 125 per yard, but then
1s little doubt that they will u'tlmate-
ly be adopted. says The Canadian
Engineer. At the International Rub-
ber Exhibition held In Londou recent-
ly, rubber paving was shown both for
use on footways and on carriages. 'n
each case the rubber constituted a
surface cushion on blocks of jarrah
wood, the material being held tlgnt'y
in position by dovetailing, while •
special joint locked the paving, ire
renting. when laid. the access of
water to the concrete foundations. It
1s eontended that thinner foundations
are necessary owing to the rednr'ed
amount of vibration which occurs by
heavy and fast-moving traMc, and
further, that it never becomes slip-
pery and that motor vehicles do not
"skid" upon it under unfavorable
coodltlons of weather. A section of
rubber paving laid in the Old Kent
Road. London, where the tragi2 is
heavyis not perceptibly worn atter
• year's use.

Cherished Relics
A tourist called at an Irish cabin
to obtain a glass of milk, and noticed
on the top of a chest of drawers a
glass shade under which was a brick
and a faded rose. Naturally he in-
quired why the owner of the shanty
should cherish two such die -similar
objects.
"Shure, sore, there's memories at-
tached to them," said the Irishman.
"Teel this big dent in my head. Well,
it was the brick what med i1."
"But the rose" said the visitor.
