prism-tile C C would be about an eighth of an inch. This irregularity, however, can be obviated by making the tiles of suitable shape, so as to form the flat arch illustrated in Fig. 6, or in any other of the forms well known and in use for making flat arches from tiles in architectural work.     What I claim is—     1. In a pavement, the combination of the pavement-frame with a series of combination-tiles consisting each of several tiles arranged so as to form an arch and adapted to be received in and be supported by the pavement frame.     2. In a prism-pavement, the combination of the pavement-frame with a series of combination prism-tiles consisting each of several prism-tiles arranged so as to form an

arch and adapted to be received in and be supported by the pavement-frame.     3. As a new article of manufacture, a combination-tile consisting of a series of tiles shaped so as to form an arch in combination with a supporting and surrounding frame to hold them together.     4. As a new article of manufacture, a prism-tile comprising a series of prism-tiles shaped so as to form an arch, a surrounding frame to take the stress received by the arch, and an intermediate filling between the prism-tiles. WILLIAM H. WINSLOW. Witnesses:     F. W. PARKER,     OLIN H. BASQUIN.
