This material is terra.cotta in the form OF
bricks It's composition and manufacture Is
simple and inexpensive enough. Equal parts
of black clay and ordinary sawdust are taken,
thoroughly mixed. and shaped as desired.
The thickness of the brick varies from two
to six inches. They are placed together IN
drying-sheds, and afterwards baked in
kilns, by a slow fire. By this process the
sawdust in the brick is gradually burned out,
each particle leaving u corresponding cavity.
Thus II porous brick is the outcome OF the
process, which, it is asserted, has no water Of
consolidation and can not crumblc under
fire. Revolving saws give the final touches
TO the brick, aud it is ready for market.
What, now is the fire-prooi prime plc of
the tcrla.cotta brick? The air cavities with
which it is filed render it an imperfect con-
ductor of heat. 1t is said that If one side Of
Il wall of those bricks be subjected to furnace
heat tie other side will he cold. Employed
in the form of outside or partition walls,
Therefore, the tcrra-cotla brick will resist the
progress Of fire. will maintain cool temper
alutc on the side opposite the flame, and
thus prevent the materials which it encoses
or protects from rising TO that point of tenn
peraturc at which spontaneous combus-
ton occura. The material itself, of
course. is non. combustblc, and the force
of heat dos not affect the stability Of the
wail. for the bricks can be jointed SO closely
tina, a small quantity of plaster of Paris Is
the only cement needed and this, uniting
closely with the fibre OF the brick, does not
crumble as does the exposed mortar of an or
binary wall.
Some of the advantages of this new build
ing material, aside from its tlre-proof quail
tics. are thus enumerated: Tue bricks are
ensily work. d with saw and chs.l. Being
without gain. they cut as readily and neatly
as cheese. Nails may be driven into them
without fear of splitting. The material
can be produccd in any shape, aud
can be used for walls, ceilings aud
floors. The blocks can Dc nailed together
and then blamed down, till u smo 9TH floor is
prepared ly the addition of any hard finish
like plaster of Paris. No la,hs are necessary.
They can be treated with any color, deep

The Five Cent Bill.

New York, 8.-Cleveland's veto of the
&c. fare bill is on the whole accredited TO
the most influential classes of citizens
and politicians, and strongly approved
by the moneyed interests and their Or
gans- The only American journals
vigorously dissenting are the Times,
Herald, Telegram Star, Journal and
Sun. The World poses on both sides Of
the question. The Star calls upon the
legislature to pass the bill over the veto.
The Commercial Bulletin says it is not
q final settlement of the question. When
the message comes up for consideration
in the assembly on WedD esdsy it would
occasion 10 surprise il the veto were over
ridden. There were limitations in GER
tain quarters several days ago that the
governors opposition was but part of 8
prearranRed programme for the sake Of
effect, aud that the passage Of the bill
ultimately was assured.
Another writer says of the vote: There
were sppreheneions that the approval Of
the bill by the governor would be used
by the republicans as proof that the DEM
ocratic party were making war upon cor
porate capital, and TO guard against that
it was deemed politic that it should be
vetoed, with the understanding, however,
that it would be passed over the veto in
order to placste the masses of the city
democracy, who have set their hearts on
it. There is report that it was their
