Gentlemen-I have tested sample of your Arti-
fetal Stone, made OF your cement and quartz sand,
and find that the frost test Saturated solution OF
Sulphate of Soda has not the power OF disintegra
ting it in the least The trial was made by daily i'm
mersious of the stone in the Sulphate Of Soda So
In, ion for week, and allowing the solution to pene
trato the stone much as possible, and then to
crystalize. From this test it ia evident that your
Stone will withstand the action pf frost more per-
fectly than any sandstone or ordin ary building
stone in use. see no reason why it will not
stand ss well as granite
