Stone Brick.

A great bricksplant is to be
established at San Francisco,
which, it is expected. will revo>
lutionize the brick industry there.
The process to be used is that OF
Professor E. G. Brice, of Wash.
ington, D. G.
The brick will be manufactured
from powdered stone, Or the
elements contained in such stone
such as sand, clay, etc. These
substances are mixed with q pre-
pared "aux," which acts as a
bond, holding together the par
ticles of sand or other material
used as a filler; the whole being
thoroughly annealed by heating.
Among the advantages claimed
for the Brice brick is the saving
of time, only ten hours being
needed for their manufacture,
instead of from eight to thirty
days: a much less consumption
OF fuel, scarcely any loss from
burning, a crushing strength of
from 10, 200 to As, 600 pounds to
the square inch, instead of from
400 to 1000 pounds, and a reduc-
ton of cost to three ffths of that
of the old>style bricks.
The manufacture of similar
brick was begun in this city be>
fore the war, and the foundations
OF an armory were laid with
them, on the west side of Ninth
street between Main and Cary.
But good brick clay, which is
very scare in many other local.
ties. is abundant here, and the
manufacture of concrete
BRICKS" which was stopped at
the outbreak of the war, was
never afterwards resumed here.
Still, if there is any great merit
in the new process, Richmond
would be q suitable place in
which to establish a plant, SO
plentiful are stone and stone
