anywhere ny where In in mind that this I i a age in which the uses w n If in neat ea o on ont tu t form are tre decidedly and almost endless As an emple example of this increase nc ase the number of pound pounds of I cement used per er capita in the United j Stats States increased from six to nineteen pounds from 1850 to 1903 Entre Entire build buildings ings including the modern sk sky scraper are made of this material With a aframe aframe frame frame work o of t trU turl tural iron cement is placed around it and in addition to the wal walls the floor floors and even eyen the roofs are made from it Railroad and other bridges bult built in much the same way are replacing structure structures of stone that were constructed under the old order of things I It Is also turned into ciol and
