VITRIFIED Brick and Pipe Whenever you want to construct perma nent streets for heavy or light traffic, auto mobile speedways, or drains, use Vitnhed Brick or Vitrified Pipe. WHY?
Because Vitrified wares are unaffected by heat, cold or acids in any degree; they withstand impact,are prac tically non-absorbent, are proof against erosion and endure to the end of lime
Such are the Brick and Pipe made by the Denny-Renton Clay & Coal _. "^ 407-41______1 Lowma_ n BuildinRmlrlinga Company SEATTLE, WASHINGTON PACIFIC BUILDER AND ENGINEER CLAY & GOAL MANUFACTURERS OF

The foundations are laid in concrete as are also the : post footings. The footings are 2 feel square and 12 inches deep. The superstructure is of substantial frame construction, carrying an exterior finish of plaster and staff, putting the building in the class of the semi-per manent type, as it will remain for use of the University. The first floor provides for a testing laboratory to the right of the entrance, an exhibit room on the left of the lobby and entrance to the auditorium from either the hall, wdiich also has a side entrance, or the exhibit room.

The evolution of the modern truss bridge from this can be readily traced and the many early trusa bridges constructed of timber in the United States represent the greatest de velopment of this class of structures, until metal began to be used. The wooden bowstring arch over the Scioto river at Chillicothe, Ohio, is a splendid example of the thorough way in which these bridges were built, this one hav ing lasted for seventy years, or until it was replaced by a modern steel bridge. .Modern roadway bridges should be constructed not only with reference to their engineering features, but also as works of architecture.

Chestnuts have not been used to any ex — tent for planting, though they become with care very large and handsome trees. They are, however, protected when found growing naturally by the roadside. Other trees, such as poplar, ash, sycamore and locust are suited to certain locations, but are not planted by us to any very great extent. A great variety of native shrubs, such as cornus dogwood, lilac, and so forth, are used to give a picturesque effect or as windbreaks in exposed places. Such vines as blackberry, upland cranberry, and low-growing sumach, are planted on slopes and banks to protect them from disintegration, and to cover the raw ap pearance of new work. All these means can well be adopted to beautify and im prove the sides of roads, and, from my experience, are well worth the outlay from any point of view.

It is a curious fact, however, that both this and the great East river bridge designed by the same engineer, are lacking in appropriate capping or finishing of the towers.

Nowhere else in the world has the art of bridge building reached such a state of perfection as in France, and the bridges of Paris are, most of them, re markable structures and worthy of care ful study. The most famous of these is the Pont Neuf, which was commenced In 1578, during the reign of Henry III. but was not completed until the year 1607. The spans are comparatively short, ranging from thirty-cne to sixty two feet in length, but the masonry is of the most solid type and very chaste design. The width of the bridge is 72 feet, and it is virtually a street carried across the river.
