— iMriiOVRMBH'ra ATWnHtfl'U < 3 AHTLM . —TUB EAtlTTBlt-» ACB- —The absence pjt her Majesty from Windsor j Castlo causes great activity in the works connected with , the various improvements now- ' in progress . The JSast Terrace ofthoOastlo may be particularly mentionecl as ohp'bf tho works . fi * om the circumstance of its being paved with Seysscl Asphalte of Pyriroout . The , nature of the material sot . only attracts notipp , but ' the , arrangements Claridgo ' s Asphalte Company have made for ' carrying it out , are worthy of re-, mark . At one end . of the Terrace is placed a steam-engine , which drives thr . ee large caldrons , containing each about one ton and a half of materials . The principal-ingredient put into them is a bituminous limestone , in a state of powder , to which is added mineral tar and grit of a uniform size . . These caldrons being over strong- fires , the eon touts are kept unceasingly agitated by the machinery connected with them , and which , after a space of . filiree hours , thoroughly amalgamates the ingredients , and reduces thein to a semi-fluid state . In this condition it is run into iron trucks , placed upon a portable railway , and then rapidlydespatched to the workmen at ' the ' extreme end of the Terrace , where our attention was first arrested to the work in progress . Tbo thickness of the pavement is determined by strips of wood , against which the material is poured , and before it becomes set the workmen bring thesurfaeo remarkably uniforn . and with a degree of neatness that makes it appear almost without a joint . The channels for water are formed in the same material , which , from its impervious character , would seem much better suited to carry off- the drainage than the stone oues . This Asphalte has been used upon the roofs aud other portions of the Castle , and is said to answer the purpose admirably . Some years back the Royal Kennels were paved with it , and are now in excellent condition . — Windsor Express ,
