It will not have concreti on the outside and asphalt on the inside, but will be of massive and reinâ€" forced concrete, heavily covered with a sp% pi li.nd and patented preparation of PURE ASP T.| It is true that wellâ€"made concrete will last indefinitely when placed below the frost line in the ground, but all concrete more than a few hours at a time, but many burial The writer has been active in the cemetery Husiness for more than 25 years, but never has he given assurance to any person that a plain concrete vault is waterâ€"resis ing. It is well known that it will not exclude water. As both wooden and steel boxes have been barred from NORTHSHORE GARDEN OF MEMOI}IES for several years, and from a few other cemeteries for a short time, because they are neither permanent nor waterproof in the ground, and as the fact that simple concrete vaults are not waterproof has become well known, a vault which is composed partially of concrete and partially of asphalt has been in use for two or three years. |It is a scientific fact that asphalt is not â€"porous and, hence, is absolutely waterâ€"resisting when properly prepared and applied to concrete; and, also, is everlasting. This combpination unites strength, perpetual durability, and waterâ€"resisting are not drained at all, and water in contact porous substance, even for a short time, will p that material. ; _ | However, a very thin lining of asphalt on the inner side of a concrete vault, fastened only by the use of ordi> nary kerosene oil is not considered a permanen fixture there. Practical men who have had ripe experience in concrete work, also in various uses for asphalt and in many phases of waterproofing, assert that it has been proven that water which will surely penetrate the concrete wall will inevitably push against and separate the thin layer of asphalt from the inner side of the concréte walls of the vault. It is only reasonable that such a result should be experienced, as there is certainly nothing perâ€" manent in the adherence of such a lining to a concrete wall by the.simple action of plain kerosene or any other kind of oil or greasy substance. Suppose a pore in the concrete wall of a ‘grave vault is only oneâ€"hundredth the size of a common pin ; then one hundred will let as much water pass as one Ein-hole in a rsbber sack, and one thousand pores will t as much water as ten pinâ€" holes. There are many times one thousand porés in the sides, ends, bottom and cover of a cont te grave vault and, therefore, it will require only a short time for a conâ€" crete vault, lined with asphalt, to be filled with water after & sufficient volume of water accumulates |between the concrete wall and the asphalt lini:zfl'to cause & serious bulging (like a water blister on one‘s hand) anc then to force a break in the asphalt lining. Then the va t‘is no longer waterproof. The concrete is good to furnish strength‘ and durability and the asphalt is good to furâ€" nish absolute waterproofing if properly applied to the qualities. CIVILIZA EDUCA A STEP IN ADVANCE concrete. ASPHALT Asphalt is a very useful product of nature, € when refined and adapted to various purposes by methods. It is older than history. Much of its uses was known to the Babylonians: before the history.

That monâ€" umental work, Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, contains the following under the caption "Bitumen:" | ; ‘"‘The mir substance which has given to the: \ Dead Sea the name Lacus Asphailtites, in which case it is mineral pitch of the group of the hydrocarbons. This mineral is abundant in several eastern countries, and was in very early times as a substitute for mortar in the buildings of Chaldaea. It is found in * Persia, am, Upper Burma, particularly at Ranâ€" f;bon. at Baku near the Caspian, and in the. valleys leading down from the west to the Dead Sea, espeâ€" «clally W , Derejeh, and Mahawat." KNOWN TO SCHOLARS AND PRACTICAL MEN All the standard cyclopedias have articles on this widely used substance. The Cyelopedia Britannica prints the Greek worll used by Aristotle, Latin word used by Pliny, and the German word, éach referring to asphalt or "mineral pmchg ‘:and says that the meanings of those words refer to "Lacus Asphaltites or Dead Sea where it was found in gncient times." The Wide-qgead distribuâ€" tion of this mineral substance as given in the various cyclopedias cannot be given at length here for lack of space. However, it was used by the early Egyptians more than 2500 B. C;, was well known in Gréece during several centuries B. C,., also in Carthage, Sicily, R?me, and in later times has been discovered in other localities in Europe, in the United States and in South America. One of the most noted deposits is that known as Rancho la Brea Asphalt Pits located about 8 miles from the city‘ of It is interesting to note that as long ago as the period of the Babyloniians and the Chaldaeans asphalt was used as a cement. Thus, the everlasting and waterproof qualâ€" ities, especially, when improved by modern scientific methâ€" ofis of nt, are almost as well known to practical and scientific men‘ as is concrete, ASPHALT IS THE IMPERISHABLE MA‘ IAL OF THE AGES!! It is important to keep in mind that there are two general kinds or grades of asphalt : (1) That which comes from pure bit | deposits without any element of value extracted from it in the process of refining it for special uses, and (2) asphalt. which is simply â€"one of several byâ€" products ted from crude mineral fetroleum from which such articles of commerce‘as gasoline, lubricating oil, grease, spraying materials, paraffin, naptha, benzin, kerosene, ‘and| other byâ€"products have been extur:e%bed. One of the larges ‘.}%"”m of the pure asphalt | in the WESTERN WATERPROOF TOMB is from that vast deposit in Venezuela and none of the many byâ€"products named have been taken from it. The second kind of asphalt named herein is simply one of the byâ€"products obtained from crude petroleuim which is pumped from the ground hundreds or thousands of feet. There is a marked difference in the quality. In the making of floors is there a différence between oak lumber and pine lumâ€" ber? Is there & difference between the wool which grows on a sheep and the cotton which grows on a plant for making clothing? There is just as much difference in asphalts!
