Gent'emen-I have tested o sample of your Arti-
cial Stone, made OF your cement and Qusrtz sand.
nd ind that the frost test Saturated solution of
nlphate of Soda) has not the power of disintegra.
ing it in the least The trial was made By daily i'm.
Versions of the stone in the Suiphate of Soda So
ion for week. and allowing the solution to pene.
rate the one as much possible, and then to
rystalize. From this test it is evident that your
tone will withstand the action Of frost more per.
,ctIy than any sandstone ordr airy building
ones now in use. | no reason why it will not
