Hydraulic Clements,

The attention of several chemists has
been of late years turned to the study
lot cements and mortars but it is espe-
cially to the laborious and admirable re-
searches Of Mr.. Vicat, of Grenoblc
(France) that we are indebted for a
complete elucidation Of some of the most
! important questions connected with the
Isubject. The ordinary mortars compos-
ed of lime and sand harden gradually
by exposure to the air, and this process
depends upon two distinct reactions
first, the absorption of carbonic acid
from the air, and the formation of sub
carbonate of lime and secondly, upon
a partial combination of the lime with
the sand. forming solicate of lime.
When placed under water however,
and excluded from the influence of car
bonicacid mortars thus composed do not
harden, but become dissolved or disin-
tegratcd: they cannot therefore be en-
ploycd for constructions which are sub
merged.
Certain limestones have long been
known to yield mortars or cements,
which have the property of hardening
under water, and the pozzuolanas of Italy
and some other countries, when mingled
with ordinary lime, yield mortars which
are possessed of similar properties. Poz
zuolanas and these peculiar limestones
are comparatively rare; but Vicat has
shown that it is possible to initiate them
i'm very simple manner, and with ma
.terials which are every where present to
prepare good hydraulic cements. The
limestones which yield hydraulic cements
are those which are mingled with Ger.
tain proportion Of clay, and by calcining
an artificial mixture of fcarbonate oflime
and clay, we may prepare hydraulic ce-
ments, varying in character according
to the proportions of the mixture.
When the limestone contains 10, Is or
25 per cent of clay, it becomes more
and more hydraulic, and when the mix
ture amounts to one third of the lime,
we obtain mortar which hardens almost
Immediately in air or under water. The
proportion of clay may even rise to 80
per cent. e. =...' -
The name Of Roman cement is applied
to a mixture of this sort, butincorrectly
as the preparation Of such o cement was
unknown to the Romans
The Pozzuolana Or trass, which en-
ployed by them to give hardness to their
mortars, is felspathic or argillaceous
matter, which has been calcined by vol
canic heat, and has thus acquired The
property Of rendering ordinary lime by
draulic. Il <afr:s IN fact 10 ealrIoe my

industriousy engaged, when the weather and
his heal tn would permit, in digging over
piece of ground, near his dwellings, carry

Here he has labored, taking one stone or
shovel full of dirt at time, until the mound
has reached the height of thirty or forty
feet, and is much larger than his house. He
said as reason for his labors that he lost
sixpcnce in his garden. He soon after found
several sixpences, but continued to dig until
his whole garden has been carried to Increase
the mound. He is peaceful and Industrious

negative, and digs away alone. Mr.. Trues-
dele is a we'll Informed man, and talks ra

The City Printing.

AZ tha contract for advertising for the
City Councils has expired, we think it time
the present Councils were casting about them
TO see what arrangement may be ..mvde by
which their advertisements may reach those
who are interested in them mostly the
aaasses, the tax payers of the city-and in or
der to assist the Councils to come to correct
understanding Of this matter, we wish to sug-
gest to them the idea Of following the plan
which the experience of the Federal Govern
lInsnt has aught to be the best. In publishing
the List of letters in each community, the Gov
ernmeat resort to tn eplan of giving their pub
LEGATION to the paper having the largest city
ejaculation. This is done iu order that the
Lat uay have "a much of diffuse circulation
as possible, that all interested may see them.
the list of letters bear somewhat the same
position to the community that the Ceun-
cil's advertisements do-all the people are
Interested in them-not the few wealthy
alone, but the massss,-ths rich, the poor,
Zoe high aad theiow.
Now, what we propose to our Councils is.
TO give their advertisements to the paper in
Che city waica is known to have the largest
ejaculation, without regard to party or any
othcr consideration, This can be done easily
by setting fair price on the job, and then
beiug them up TO the "test," and let the pa
pee W hich proves to have the largest circula-
tiou have the work.
As the present Councils are known to be
economical 10 tneir exp enditures, and are
endeavnri1g to save ths public's money, we
TANK by giving this matter a proper censid-
eyacion taey will readily see how they can
accomplish this ayrange For instance
if fit ia worth Sl60 a year to advertise in two
1opers having combined circ ulation in the
city OF eight or aine hundred, would it not
be more economical, to pay the same price to
owe paper having circulation of more than
gSo,.5ie tkQt nur!jer. What say you, gentle
paee Of the Councils, shall the "greatest
number" Of yoar constituents be benefited by
7oar expenditures for Advertising if so, the
columa Of the Doy Book il open for you at
very moderate price.
