ARTIFICIAL SAND.
why 1t Is More Useful Than The Natural
Sands,

TIE notion of making sand ky macbiD.
cry is probably one of the last which
would occur to the ordinary inventive
genius. In by far the greater part of the
world sand in its natural state is suffoi.
emily common, so that no market could be
supposed TO exist for an artificial pro
duct.
1t is well known, however, that sand
from sea, lake or river shore, where it
has been subject for ages to the action Of
water, is comparatively valueless for the
purpose of making mortar.
1t Is not, as the masons express it.
"sharp enough" Its grains have been
worn round and smooth by the water, and
mortar made of it is not as strong as that
in which each grain, seen under micro
scope, is like Jagged little rock freshly
cloven from a precipice.
In certain regions this sharp "land
sand is hard to get. In the construction
of the Notifications at Nice, In France, it
was found that the nearest bed of good
sand was so far away that each cubic
metre of good sand brought to the works
would cost no less than IA francs. At
this price, it was cheaper TO manufacture
the sand than to obtain it in any other
way.
A sort of crusher, consisting of a swiftly
revolving vertical shaft provided with
successive shoulders or projections, ridged
in such way that they continually hurled
against stone wall the stones that were
dropped upon them, was erected; and by
means of this apparatus and excellent
sand was made at a cost OF about -four
francs per cubic metre.
The stone used for the purpose was very
blue and very hard, and consequently
made blue sand. Sand of this color is
rarely met in nature, for the reason that
the blue rocks are generally very hard,
and are seldom disintegrated or beaten up
into sand.

GREY TO SALISBURY.
A Noble Early Gives the Premier
Nuts to Crack

LONDON. May 2S. = Earl Grey has
written a long letter to the Times pro-
testing against Lord SaliSbury'S Hast
ingS speech. He asks whether negotia-
tiohs with foreign powers now on the
basis Of reciprocity are more likely to
succeed than were the negotiations of
successive ministries for thirty years.
He continues: after the conclusion
OF the peace Of 1915, when we had con-
siderable concessions to offer. we were
unable to grant favors TO one nation
without offending another, and the
practice of making varying tar
ifs to various countries would
throw the whole system of revenue and
trade into confusion. Lord Salisbury
assigns no intelllgible reason for incur
ring all the difficulties that would be
involved by carrying his views inio
practice. The free trade policy of forty
years has seen an enormous growth in
our trade. Our wealth has increased
and our trade has flournished in a man
ner uneXampled in any former period
of our history.
attempts to negotiate treaties with
foreign nations commenced by the
treaty with France in 1869 have never
had good results We should have the
courage to either openly abJure the
doctrines OF free trade and try what we
can achieve by a. retaliatory policy, OF
else ADOPT manly course by returning
to the policy of free trade in its integ-
rity, as acted upon from 1913 to 1850,
namely, duties for revenue purposes

Anti-Government Combines Pop
ular in Germany.
BERLIN. May 2s.--Beneath the sur
face. which is calm, political life in
Berlin now presents a. much perturbed
appearance. The movement of the par
ties keep the party leaders on Il
strain. Both the National Liberal and
Fresinnige parties have been holding
conventions. the former at Eisenach
and the latter at Mannheim. The
FreiSinnige assembly included delegates
from the northern, southern and central
sections Of Germany. Herr Richter, in,
an address, explained the attitude Of
the government in the matter of elec7
tnra reforms in Prussia. in relation to
which subject the position OF Herr Herr
furth, the Prussian minister of the inte-
rior, has been miSrepreSented.
Instead of promising to Introduce IN
the landtag bill reforming the electoral
districts, Herr Herrfurth declares that
the government will uphold the exist
ing system Herr Herrfurth declines
positively to introduce any measure
having for its object the redistrl-
button of seats and scouts the
idea of applying form of universal
suffrage to PruSSian elections. The
FreiSinnige leaders, hoping to find the
National Liberals willing to unite in
an attack upon Herr Herrfurth. were
surprised TO find Herr nebrecht and
other prominent National Liberals pro-
n0uncing in favor of the government.
The idea of a coalition between the
Freisinnige party and the National Lib
erals is becoming more and more i'm
probable.
Irregular combinations against the
government, embarrassing legislation
have become the feature of the day.
Thus the government was defeated in
the lower house of the diet on tine bills
securing secrecy of income tax returns
by the combined votes of the Conserya-
tiveS, Ceutrists and members of the
Freisinnige party. In the coming gen.
erai elections for members Of the land
tag each party will probably fight by
itself. OvertureS for an entente be-
tween the leaders of the Conservatives
and Cenrtists and the Freisjnnige and
National Liberals have ceased.
