Letter from DIR. Jackson.

Gentlsmen-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
Sulphats of Sods has not the power of disintegra
ting it in the least The trial was made BY daily i'm
mersions of the stone in the Sulphate of Soda So
lu ion TO, week, and allowing the solution to pene
trats the stone much as possible, and then to
crystalze. From this test it is evident that your
SIons will withstand the action of frost per-
fecty than any sandstone ordr ary building
stones IN T. reason why it will not
stand as well granite
Yours respectfully.
