INDEPENDENCE I fa n Advertisers testify to the worth of Post Advertising One of the great secrets which the ancients took with them iuto their forgotten grates is the process of manufacturing asphalt of the kind found in the ruins of Babylon. In some respects the substance is su- penoi to the most improved kind today, nnd while it is presumed the asphalt beds of the ancients were in Egypt, few records are available telling us whence they secured their material, it is stated. Modern asphalt paving dates from the year 171?. It was then that a Creek physician, Doctor Eiri- uus. di-covered the famous bed« near Xeufehate], and shortly after, the gn-pt asphalt rocks in the vicin ity of Geneva were unearthed. Count Sa-senav was the first to lay asphalt pavement in Europe, and the test he made in 1832 was followed bv various other experi ments which in 1838 led to the dis covery that tlie refuse from gas works could be turned into pave ment. American road builders have been using asphalt for scores of years, and in most cases they have fid- lowed tlie process of the famous ! Claridge patent, which was used in i paving Trafalgar square in Janu- ! arv, 18f>4. Lenses Duplicated. D r. C . B .
