SUPERIOR RUBBER MATS AND MAT” TING. Of the numberless uses to which rubber has been put with great success, during the last twenty-five years, none have grown more prominent than that of its adoption for me- chanical purposes, using it fur a variety of manufactures, of which rubber belting, packing, hose, together with mats and matting are perhaps the most familiar to our readers. The New York Belting and Packing Co., warehouse and salesrooms, 15 Park Row, New York City, were among the first to foresee) the great value of rubber in this field and to— day enjoy the distinction of being the oldest | and largest manufacturers of vulcanized rub- | ber goods for mechanical in the United States. They have acquired a nation- al reputation for the variety and high quality of their which purpose, manufacture, are eagerly sought after in foreign countries, where their great worth has been duly recognized and liberally encouraged. we find the demand for the belting, and other rubber specialties made by this Coming nearer home, packing firm, continually on the increase, year by year, from all sections of the country. The chief features which attach to all their goods, taken collectively, are strength, durability and perfect finish, which are particularly noticeable in the celebrated corrugated and perforated mats, matting and stair—treads, of their manufacture. These goods when in use prevent slipping anc consequent danger to life and limb, keep the hails or other flooring covered, clean, and add to the attractiveness of the premises, beside preventing wear. They are noiseless when trodden upon and quite indispensable in wintry weather for ex- posure to ice, snow, wind or slush. Just the thing for steamboat use on decks and com- panionways. Many of the large trans-atlantic steamships employ them to their adyant— age, beside a large number of our lake and river steamers, who tind \hem quite necessary. These goods are much more attractive, cleanly and far more serviceable than any wooden or wire mat or matting manufactured. The New York Belting and Packing ( 0., have lately put upon the market, a new style rub- ber mat known as the “ N. P. M.” mat, which they furnish in two patterns, shown in en- graving on this page. ‘They will undoubtedly, become very popular for use on ship board, and in cabins and other apartments. Large numbers of them are already in use for office and household purposes. There is nothing more desirable to place before a desk or office entrance. In its manufacture this new mat is similar to the company’s regular goods, but unlike them in the fact of their being thin- ner, a characteristic, which commends itsel to those who Have been bothered by the in_ terference of the threshold and door mat This new Sef eis not as high as the average threshold so the door can easily swing over it. The manufacturers make these “N. P, M” mats with or without name or initials of ves- sels,on which they may be used, worked in the centre, as desired. ‘The name or the ini- tials being worked in the mat, prevents its sale if stolen, and does not detract from its attractive appearance. M. A. B. RUSSIAN PETROLEUM. M. De Tchihatchef, a Russian writer, as— serts that the average flow of petroleum in the Baku region is 88,000 barrels per day, as against 25,300 barrels in the United States. The chief drawbacks encountered by those who have worked the Baku oil fields have been lack of transportation and want of cheap package. A railway to Batoum, on the Black sea. opened two maritime routes to Eu- rope, and met the first difficulty. vessels constructed to carry crude oil met the last, and enabled refineries to be built in the interior of the empire wherever fuel might be the cheapest, It is confidently predicted, since the completion of the Batoum railway, European markets, and that it will even be possible for the Russian product to compete for the markets of the United States. M. ' Tchihatchef points out a probable demand in the near future for petroleum to gerve as fuel on the great lines of railway completed and Still building in Asia,—Scientijic American.
