a serious addition to the expense. An ex- 
periment for the cbviating of both difficul- 
ties has been tried with every chance of suc- 
cess, upon a very bad part of the Archway 
road, a little beyond Highgate. The ground 
has been cut to some depth in the centre; a 
complete set of under-drains has been put in, 
at the sides of the carriage way, and also 
across. Then the middle has been laid with 
a payement of artificial stone—formed of

pebbles, Roman cement, and sand, in blocks 
of regular size ; and the broken stones have 
been laid over that. The experiment is yet 
hardly completed, and the upper surface of 
the road is not consolidated; but in as far 
as we can judge, it will render the road far 
more economical, both in the wear of cattle, 
and in repairs. Mr. Mac Neill, civil engi- 
neer, the inventor, has taken out a patent 
for the artificial stone.
