exhibiled#by Vincent Mayrticli.

propriated a cou|de which he

taking definite shape before the

800 mill's, and it is estimated thaJ
each day's sljw could lie set at

circumstances permitting.
There would be no attempt to
make a record, the main idea be
ing to lest the possihilit ies of the
route and llie capabilities «»I" the

In India the proposal is being
supported by a number o|" native
princes, including the Mahara

have inlimated to the advisory
committee their wiMingness to
give prizes of 3,00o rupees

Concrete of Cinders j
About four years ago some
walls mailt* of cisder concrete
were erected at Columbia Uni
versity, ami .since Mien liley have
been .subjected lo several four
hour Icsls n.v lire when I he aver
age temperature was 1,700 de
gree^ Fahrenheit. At the end
of each test a slrefyn of water
was applied for ten minutes while
the walls were hoi. Notwith
standing these tests, the walls
as good as when erected, and the
permitaires of eonl and line nia
terial in such eimlers appear to
have very little ert'erl on their]
lire resisting <| tia I it i«*s. The!
pieces of eoal which were next'
to the surface in these walls
were, burned to ash, but the ash
remained in place and acted as
a non-conductor of heal. Sev
eral particles of pure coal were
found within two inches of the
surface.
