The Building Boom and Brick Famine

The building boom of this city has re-
ceived serious backset owing to a famine
in building material and particularly brick
which cannot he had at any price. The
scarcity is owing for the most part to the
fact that the contracts let the latter part Of
last winter and early III the spring con-
sumed most all the brick made and on
hand and which caused decided rise in
their price. The supply, though large, wa.
by no means equal to the demand. Since
early spring the building boom has con-
tinued nnahated up to monitor SO ago
when the supply was exhausted. The main
cause Of the famine is owing to the unusual
frequent and heavy rains that fell this
summer, which prevented their manutac-
ture on large scale, and the leading con-
tractors and builders say that there
are great number OF buildings
contemplated, which would have been lot
TO contractors long since but for this fact.
The price of brick has advanced, and choice
brick especially are in demand. A con-
tractor told u HERALD reporter yesterday
that he had, in order to get good lot OF
bricks for 3 special but small job, paid
$3.50 for 100 brick that have heretofore been
selling at 1913 per thousand. Several large
business houses recently erected are OF
stone because of the scarcity and high price
OF brick. Buildings continue to go up, and
there is still II boom, yet nothing like here
totore, and there are numbers OF contracts
| awaiting q sufficient supply.

The curtain lifts on the scene in the state
of Missouri. The actors are Miss Hattie
Kennedy, John Owen and +. Johnson,
both of whom were Suitors for the fair
young lady's hand. Johnson got the nit
ten most ingloriously and Owens carried of
the cake. johnson, broken hearted, took
to red flicker" and rushed into Texas
cattle rancho, drowning the sorrows of an
unrequitted love in herds of cattle. He
suffered death, but nevertheless lived on to
eat bacon and bareback. Tired OF Mis-
souri,, Owens determined to try dame for
tune in the Lone Star state, and he and bis
better half arrived here few days since
and secured boarding at u farmhouse some
three miles north of the city. johnson
came. that way, saw his first love, aud
gave her an extraordinary dose of tatly
that caught her. Wednesday, when
Owens came to this city, they got into a
wagon, drove to Allen station. and took the
north bound Texas Centrrl train for parts
unknown. Owens congratulates himself.
He is philosopher of the old school.

Hungarian Colonization.

The colonization project recently set
OD foot by Hungarian company is a
broad one, and the plan and its details
are commendable. The design, as an
nounced in the prospectus, is to coionize
available lands in Virginia, Southern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and APP
portion them off into villages of from
fifty to one hundred farms, the cultiva-
ton of which is to be intrusted to the
immigrants. The land thus parceled out
is sold at cost price, upon installment
payments, the projectors of the joint
stock company undertaking the enter
prise relying for their profits upon the
increase in value of certain lands they
reserve in these villages which will follow
the growth and prosperity of these little
village colonies. The directors say that
they have now on foot negotiations
bring over five hundred families to settle
as colonists on the land selected, these
families being representatives of the
yeOmanry farmer class in Hungary.
They differ materially from the ordinary
peasantry immigrants in that, it is
claimed, there can be no possibility of
their becoming burdens upon the com.
munity for support, such as the ordi-
nary type of ignorant immigrant is too
often apt to do. AS class the Hun
gsrian immigrants are represented to be
honorable and honest, of resolute will
and liberal instincts, and as unimpeach-
able in domestic habits as they are sin
cere and devout in religious matters.
Several Hungarian societies in New
York city and vicinity have already in
dorsed the project, and have promised
to give the incorporators their aid in
carrying out the enterprise. Under such
circumstances the undertaking will be
watched with solicitous interest by the
public, and its success hoped for.

To Europe in Five DAYS.
Neto York World.

Commodore Coppin, of England, who
recently designed an improved ocean
steamship, visited the Produce Exchange
Yesterday with diagrams of his inven-
ton, and explained to the members its
mysteries and beauties. The diagrams
show a triple hulled screw ship. There
ale three separate vessels below water,
while above one vessel only is seen. The
centre hull, which is 204 feet shorter
than the outside hulls, contains the en-
gines. There are two screws or prOpel
lers at each end, either of which can be
worked in case the other is disa-
bled, or the two can be work
ed in unison, thus increasing the
power and speed. Commodore Cop
pin claims that his vessel will make
voyage from New York to Liverpool in
five days. The vessel is designed princi.
pally for. passenger traffic, all staterOOms
being above the water line. while if it is
required the vessel can carry as much
freight as the City of Rome. Comma.
dore COppin says that sea-sickness in his
vessel will be an impossibility, as the
three bulls will prevent the rolling of the
vessel. even in the heaviest sea. The
bulls both forward and aft are pointed i
in fact. the vessel can be run either back.
ward or forward with equal rapiditY.
The Commodore has yacht in England,
constructed on his model, which he says
cannot be equaled for speed and safety.
The dimensions of such an ocean steam
ship would be as follows: Length over
all, $40 feet; length of centre hull, 1886
feet; extreme breadth, 100 feet; greatest
depth from spar deck, 60 feet,

He'll Fire Rock.
Territorial Enterprise.

At a meeting of the San Francisco
Microscopic Society last Monday Fl. G.
Hanks, State Mineralogist, read the fol
lowing interesting paper: "Some time
since ID. B. Huntley, of the Geological
Corps Of the Tenth Census of the United
States, brought to the State Mining Blu
reau mineral, with the statement that
it had shown certain peculiarities which
led the miners to call it by the rather
startling name of Hell Fire Rock The
property known to mineralogists as phos-
phorescence is not confined to one min
eral species, nor is it very uncommon.
But in this specimen it is so stronglymark-
ed that there is some excuse for the re.
fusal on the part of some of the miners
to work in the mine. When striking
their picks into this formation flashes OF
light were seen, which they regarded
with superstitious alarm. The locality
in detail is the Shenandoah mine. Snake
creek district, Wasatch county, Utah.
"a chemical examination shows this
mineral to be an impure dolomite. 1t is
interesting, not only from its remarkable
phosphorescence when rubbed with any
hard substance in the dark, but from its
beautiful crystalline appearance under
the microscope and the ease with which
it can be reduced to crystalline powder,
even by crushing it between the fingers.
In Cleveland's Mineralogy we find it
stated that some varieties of dolomite
are phosphorescent IN the dark, either
by friction or when thrown on a shovel
which had been allowed to cool just be-
fore the point of redness."
The lights being turned down, Mr.,
Hanks produced the phosphorescence
beautifully by scratching the specimen
with knife blade. 1t was of bright
reddish yellow or orange color, and it
was clearly seen how a miner could be
agitated by striking such internal mate
rial in his subterranean walks.
