POROUS BURNING BRICK.

NJ. Anatole Brebant's invention OF
a burning brick is singular and eco
nomical. 1t Is composed of mix
ture OF metals. siiicates and various
other incombustible and refractory
matters. which. in small space and
with little weight. imprison a large
amount OF heat-producing matter.
says the Philadelphia Record. The
brick Is very porous and Is used as
follows: An appropriate liquid alcO-
hol or kerosene is poured upon il. a
lighted match Is applied. and the re-
suit is beautiful hot fire. IL lasts
for a long time and can be extin-
guished readily.
After a short while the intense
heat produced by the combustion OF
the liquid Is considerably augmented
by that of the metallic mass. The
brick is made in two sizes. The do
mestic brick. for heating rooms and
cooking. weighs four ounces and
gives a flame 20 by 10 inches.
The military brick. for soldiers and
explorers, is about double the weight
of the domestic one. The brick Is de
livered IN a tin box. in which II car

Perhaps you have never visited the
picturesque little village of Burton
that lies on Grant river. 1t is on one
of the highways to the Father of Wa
tiers and is reached from the east by
coming down a long steep hill and
crossing long bridge. and from the
west by another long steep hill. The
village boasts of a church, town
hall. a postotiice and store, and a
blacksmith shop. II the blacksmith
is not at the shop he has probably
gone fishing. There are more vacant
dwellings than Burton can usually
boast of. as it is generally full,
Our postmaster, W. V. Mink, and
two of the Schall brothers sthink of
starting in few days to old Virginia
to look up locations for future homes.
If the country suits them Dir. Mink
has had great inducements to come
there and locate. If they are favor
ably impressed with the country and
conclude to settle there, it is expected
that quite a colony from this section
will also locate there. They may find
a better country there than old Wis
consiu but we very much doubt it.
The harvest is all completed but a
few pieces of late oats. Many farmers
have begun stacking. Crops all bid
fair to be abundant. REPUBLICAN.
