New Flooring Material.

A new kind of wood floor material has recently been put on the market in America. First of all there is a base block to ensure a uniform level, so that no single block is able to shift above or

below its fellows. Each block is eight inches in length and three and one-half inches in width. The only preparation of the sustaining floor is that of levelling. A grille or lattice, regularly spaced, lies between the supporting boards and the permanent concrete floor.. The wood blocks are nailed down, the points clinching against the concrete.

Banish the future, live only for the hour and it's allotted work. Think not of the amount to be accomplished, the difficulties to be overcome, but set earnestly at the little task at your elbow, letting that be sufficient for the day; for surely our plain duty is, "not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand. .
