The economic disposal of house refuse (says Chambers' Journal) is a matter in which England has achieved unique distinction, for the greater number of municipalities turn the calorific value of domestic and other rubbish to commercial account, and with the power thus derived operate tramways and electrically illuminate the thoroughfares. One English firm has evolved a means whereby the clinker can be employed not only for the laying oi" pavements bufc for roads as well. Seeing that the market for road-paving material, owing to the heavier wear and tear due to the greater volume of traffic, is so much more extensive, this i& a decided advantage. This latest development has aroused considerable "interest in view of the factI that the road traffic problem is so acute at the present moment. A borough in the west of London decided to test' this road-paving system. The idea is tho formation of paving-blocks of the same size as those utilised in wood paving or granite sets, and the product is eminently satisfactory, because the great advantages inherent in wood and stone pavings are secured without the drawbacks of either. The clinker issuing from the furnace is ground and screened in a mill, and then mixed with asphalt while the ingredients are in a heated condition, whereby the various materials combine and • become a homogeneous mass, filially being pressed into small blocks. From the economic point of view the process leaves little to be desired. To make a thousand blocks about three and a half tons of clinker are used to one ten of asphalt, and the weight of the finished blocks is about four tons, the difference being accounted for by the asphalt losing its moisture. The cosfc of production is low, being about £4 per thousand blocks for material, and about 14s for labour. The installation erected in West London has been visited hy engineers concerned in the problem of economic and durable street paving. The thoroughfares so paved have been found as noiseless as those paved with wood. The blocks are non-porous, unaffected by temperature and climatic conditions, provide excellent foothold for horses, produce no dust, and, in addition to being sanitary, cost less for cleansing than ordinary paving. Tha invention has since been adopted in other towns, and equals success has been achieved. "I don't know what I am ever g°mff { o do with that boy of mine.
