No more original or comical ideas in
a farce comedy vein was ever created
than the German Singing Society in
"Who is Who, F." the laughable concert

A NEW KIND OF BRICK.
Quartz Sand and Lime Subjected to
High Pressure Steam.

For thousands of years men have
been making brick out of clay, and
pretty good brick, too, says the New
York Tribune. But recently a new
kind has come into vogue. 1t is COM
posed chiefly of quartz sand bound to-
gether with a small amount Of lime.
In the process of manufacture the com
pound is subjected to the influence of
steam at high pressure. When proper
ly made, this brick is said to be hard,
waterproof and able to resist the ac-
tion of acids. A lack of uniformity in
the quality has been noticed, however
Limestone brick" which are made in
cold, wet weather, seem to give less
satisfaction than those produced under
other meteorological conditions.
But there is now promise that this
difficulty will soon be obviated. A con-
sular report from Germany announces
that Zurich chemist, Wilhelm
Schwartz, has found "A way to get good
results every time. The secret lies in
controlling the amount of moisture ad-
mitted to the compound and in main
tanning the temperature within certain
limits for a time. The former part Of
the process is managed in a vacuum,
so that no dampness can be impaired
by the atmosphere Herr Schwartz
has invented a machine of his own to
do the mixing. Much confidence is ex-
pressed in the substantial value Of the
innovation reported.

heavy quality and one is led to believe
that the company has in view the put

line reaching to the sulf on the south,
