QUARTZ SAND AND LIME.
Form . New Building Material
Said to Be Superior to
the Old.

For thousands of years men have
been making brick out of clay, and
pretty good brick too. But recently
a new kind has come into vogue, says
the New York Tribune. It is com
posed chiefly of quartz sand, bound
together with small amount of lime
In the process of manufacture the
compound is subjected to the influence
Of steam and high pressure. When
properly made this brick is said to
be hard, waterproof and able TO re-
sist the action of acids. A lack OF
uniformity in the quality has been
noticed, however. Limestone brick

difficulty will soon be obviated. A

moisture admitted to the compound
and in maintaining the temperature
within certain limits for a time. The
former part of the process is man
aged in a vacuum, SO that no damp
