But they found ready to their hands
in the river most abundant materials
for making bricks, with which their
temples and towns were built. This
clay they mixed with chopped straw.
In some cases they merely dried the
bricks in the sun, and such was the con
sistcncy of the clay that IL is even now
difficult To break these bricks.
In other cases they were burnt. In
the case OF the burnt bricks they inter
calatcd layers of reeds, and bound them
together by bitumcn, instead of NOR
tar. This vas chiefly brought from
Hit, on the Euphratcs, where it still
abounds.
The bricks were beautifully made in
molds. and in the normal pattern were
about II foot square, four or five
inches thick, and rectangular in shape,
and so:l2ti'acs triangular or otherwise
formed, so as readily to make up into
arches and vaults.
Many of them bore the names of the
early kings impressed upon them, rs

museum. matchmaking was truly an
important art in these early times.

$500 arrived attacking the Cubans in
the rear. Gomez quickly recovered
from the onslaught. and while asmall,

force of the city, his main body faced
the new enemy. The fighting was
very fierce, but it is asserted that the
strategy Of Gomez and valor Of the in.
surgents resulted in a victory. The
regiment from Cadiz, it is said, was
cut to pieces. The city, the passen-
gers say, was in the possession OF the
insurgents, The Cuban loss killed
and wounded, is put at 700; Spanish
loss, 5000.
Smallpox and yellow fever are very
