Satisfactory Usage Is The Test 
Your bathtub should be a source 
of satisfaction. “Ideal” Porcelain 
bathtubs are most satisfactory, being 
made entirely of solid clay—there is 
no metal used in their construction. 
Imitators of “Ideal” porcelain bath¬ 
tubs cannot dispute the superiority 
of Pottery Plumbing Fixtures. Let 
us send you illustrations and refer 
you to users of “Ideal” porcelain 
bathtubs in your neighborhood.

forces it into the filter formed by the tree 
trunk. As soon as the pressure reaches 
1.5 to 2.5 atmospheres the water is seen, 
at the end of from one to three minutes, 
according to the kind of wood used, 
to make its exit from the other extremity 
of the trunk, at first in drops and then in 
fine streams, the water thus filtered being 
potable, freed, in fact, from every parti¬ 
cle of the usual saline taste which is such 
a drawback to water obtained in the 
ordinary manner .—Railway Review. 
PAVEMENTS MADE OF SHELLS 
r I 'HE shell concrete pavements of Ma- 
A con, Ga., are attracting considera¬ 
ble attention at present. The material 
used is a shell limestone similar to the co¬ 
quina of which buildings were construct¬ 
ed at St. Augustine while it was a Spanish 
colony. There is a bed of this stone 
about thirty miles from Macon, which 
was discovered during the construc¬ 
tion of the Georgia Southern & Florida 
Railroad, some years ago. Part of the 
roadbed of that railway was made of it, 
and it hardened into such a durable 
form that several carloads were brought 
to the city and laid about the freight- 
station, where it resisted the wear of the 
heavy traffic unusually well. After it 
had been in service for four or five years, 
the city paved a street having one of the 
heaviest grades in Macon with it, and this 
first street gave such satisfaction that 
several more have since been paved in 
the same manner. About 35,000 square 
yards are now in use, and petitions for 
10,000 yards more are on file. The 
stone is crushed and laid on the sub¬ 
grade excavated to receive it; the layer 
is about seven inches deep at first, and is 
consolidated by a fifteen-ton steam¬ 
roller to a thickness of six inches, being 
sprinkled at intervals. On heavy grades 
a gutter is formed by mixing cement 
with the stone. The pavement costs 
from 50 to 60 cents a square yard, which 
includes crushing and labor.— Engineer¬ 
ing Record. 
IVORY VENEERS 
\ TENEER-cutting has reached such 
’ perfection that a single elephant’s 
rusk thirty inches long is now cut in Lon¬ 
don into a sheet of ivory 150 inches long 
and twenty inches wide, and some sheets 
of rosewood and mahogany are only 
about a fiftieth of an inch thick.—
