a NEW WALL.--A new kind of wall is
coming into use in England, the advan
tages claimed for which are the very i'm
portant ones Of n-absorbency of mois,
ture, non-conduction of heat, economy OF
space, washable surface, and, swithal,
cheapness. Over framework of strong
cross wires,o of about one-eighth of an inch
thick, there is woven, by a powerful
pressure, fbrous matter, which is saturated
with solution that renders it fre.proof.
1t is then subjected to q very powerful
pressure A coating of light Scott
cement is then put upon it for inside
facing, and Portland cement for outside
facing. BY this means surfaces are made
impermeable to moisture, smooth, and
easily washed with water-thus saving
the expense Of repeated lime washings.
It is formed into slabs in iron frames,
which arc put together and closely and
securely fastened with bolts. The slabs
are from one and half inch to four
inches thick. They are said to serve as
superior panelling for dividing walls,
and partitions. Where space is of i'm
portance, it has the advantage, perhaps,
over concrete iwalling, in enabling wall
to be made Of not more thar one and a
half inches IN thickness, aed yet its
quality is said to greatly deaden sound
