aBurLpIsG WITH WlT BRIcx.--We no.
,ics, 10 an exchange paper. paragraph
upon this subject. which we think Of
considerable importance TO buiiders. II
is stated on what is good sulhori,y.
that Of experiences, that q wall twelve
inches thick, built of good mortar with
bricks well sosked. is stronger in every
respect than one sixteen inches thick
built dry. The reason Of this is. that il
the bricks are saturated with water. they
will not abstract from the mortar the
moisture whichis necessary to It's chrys-
talization. but, on the contrary, they will
che micaliy unite with the m ortar, and
become as solid asa rock. On The 9TH
er hand if the bricks are put up dry. they
Immediately take all the moisture from
mortar, leaving It too dry to harden, and
