Bricks for Fuel.

Several people in this city having
read of those in other cities soaking
bricks in coal oil and igniting them for
cooking and heating purposes, have been
tempted to try the experiment them
selves. Some are highly pleased with
the results and think, so far as they are
concerned, the fuel problem is solved.
A gentleman at whose place Of business
number of persons gather during the
day and the early part of the night took
a piece of brick from the pavement and
demonstrated the feasibility of burning
the same should subsequent events de-
priye this community of coal. He placed
the fragment of the brick, which was
about three inches long and an inch and
a half in thickness, in tablespoon
full of coal oil and after it had re-
NAMED in the oil a few minutes
took it out and ignited it. A blaze
five or six inches high soon rose from
it and it took six minutes for it to
burn out. 1t was suggested that If
things reached the worst and people had
TO return TO the use of their freplaces a
'sback log'' could be procured and sew
eral pieces of saturated brick placed
against it. Salmon brick is the variety
10 be used, but care should be observed
in placing saturated brick in stove,
rs one of them will absorb pint of oil
and when ignited it will send up blaze
several feet high. 1t is said that the
market is glutted with Beaumont, Texas,
oil and that it is selling at 40 cents
barrel, or about one cent a gallon.
Brick bats can be procured minus cost.
Providence, it seems, always comes to
the rescue in all emergencies.
