THE MONDAY MORNING FIRE.

the fire had gained such Roadway before
it was discovered that nothing it con-
tanned could be saved. 1t look hard
work on the part Of the citizens to save
the buildings near by. W. S. Milsap
had the barn rented and had in it four
head Of horses, soinc hogs, a wagon 10,
Of harness and a great deal Of hay ant
grain, One of his horses, an old gray,
got out with only a scorched baci:
Everything else was lost. Fl. p. Leedcr,

FLINT CLAYS.

1t will thus be seen from the foregoing table, which is taken from the above III.
thorhy, that there is in existence tut " clays in the known world which contains
a higher ALUMINIUM contentt than the Versailles clay, one lin Scotland, aud the other
in Missouri.
1t lis therefore apparent to thu casual observer that the Versailles clay contains
all the elements to make the bwtf fire brick in the world when il is known that the
bond" or nux also is found in Morgan county in abundance.

FIRE CLAYS.

A fire clay is one which will withstand
a high temperature without softening to
such an extent as to become m~isshapen
even when subjected to considerable
pressure; which will endure rapid changes
Of temperature without shattering; whose
wares have sufficient density to impedethe
passage of gases or liquids which would
attack it, and a chemical composition
such that it will not readily unite with the
gases which it is likely to meet in use.
1t will be seen that each Of these quail
tiles is variable and that in consequence
no fixed definition of a fire clay can be
formulated. Let us consider them in
order. First it must withstand high tenn.
peratures without material softening.
Authors assign widely ditfernt meanings
to the expression high temperatures as
applied to fire clays, and no agreement
has been reached as to what temperature
a clay must he able to withstand in order
to merit a place IN this class. Each user
regards any clay which will bear the
highest degree of heat which he uses as
a fire clay.
The ability Of a clay to withstand a
high temperature depends upon its chem
ical composition and upon its physical
constitution.
The temperature at which a clay soft
ems is governed by the presence or alb.
sence of impurities which soften OF melt
at a temperature lower than that which
would produce a like effect in the clay
itself. 1t is a curious fact that the soft
cning or melting Of one substance often
brings about a similar change in CONT
guous materials which would remain un
affected except for the presence Of the
nor easily melted material. These less
resistant ingredients of a clay are called
huxes. The more common fuxes are in
order the alkalies, potash and soda, the
alkaline earths, lime and inagnesia, pro
toxide OF iron. and to a certain extent
sesquioxide Of iron and silica.
1t has been found that pure alumins
will withstand a Temperature higher thar
that required to fuse Seger's coma So, anc
pure silica wlthstands cone IS, but if &
small amount Of finely pulverized silics
be mixed with aluiniua it induces sligh'
fusion at a temperature less than that re
quired to fuse either pure alunina o.
pure silica. II We increase the proportion

Two Fires at Warsaw.

The Campbell House Hotel building
at Warsaw was burned IL the ground,
last Saturday morning. The fire was
discovered at about 5 c o'clock, OF the roof.
and in a very short time after the alarm
was given it Sc. med that nearly the
whole population of Warsaw was at the
fire and everyone H. ing all in their
power to check it and save the contents
Of the building as we'll as save the build
ings surrounding. The morning was
still; no breeze scarcely az alt, stirring
The building burned slowly aud for this
reason nearly all of the contents were
saved.
The building was one of the old land
marks of Central Missouri, having been
built in the early forties. II was built
'of logs, but Of isle years lad beer
weatherbosrded and otherwise inoderniz-
ed. 1t has been used for hotel purpose
ever since II was built, but perhaps gain
ed its greatest reputation OF late years
with Mrs. Campbell as hostess.
The building was owned by the Lemon
Bros. of circus fame and at III time 'of
the fire was occupied by Mrs. Bette
Hughes.
The origin of the fire is unknown
Mrs. Hughes carried a small policy Of in
surance on the contents, but We are not
Informed as 10 whether there was any
on the building or not. There
is some talk Of a modern hotel bein.
on the site of the old one.

marked effect than the same amount Of
any one Of them and that the effect will
be greater the larger the number of diff
ferent fuxes contained in the mixture.
1t will thus be seen that the ~fiuxinp eff.
feet of impurities in a clay depends not
only on the amount of fuxes present or
upon their amount and kind, but upon
the number of different kinds as we'll. .
The effect of 'uxes on a clay depends
also on the fineness of grain of the clay
as a Whole aud Of the fuxes in particular
A coarse-grained clay will stand more
fuxes thar a fine one. especially ii the
huxes he coarse. 1t will be seen then
that a fire clay is likely to he refractory
III proportion as the percentage Of alum
ina is high and that of the Auxes low.
1t is evident also that a single fux will
have less proportionate effect than a mix
ture and that ineness of grain is a deter
minating factor OF considerable import.

FLINT CLAY.

AHSic II u CLASS OF Gays OF Almost stony
hardness having a conchoidal fracture
and a structure so like flint that they are
commonly known as flint clays. This
hinty condition is believed to be due to a
process of concentration, the clays having
at some time stood below the level of
ground water under conditions which
favored the precipitation of such salts as
the ground. water carried in solution.
This precipitated material cemented the
clay particles and in connection with the
weight of the everything rocks induced the
film like structure. There is no neces-
sary relation between the finty structure
and their chemical composition or any
physical property except Elasticity. All
Hint clays are non.plastic. Some are
rendered more or less plastic by the Or
binary grinding and kneading 70 which
clays are subjected, but some are not.
Some authorities assert that no mechau.
ical or physical process to which these
clays can be subjected will render some
Of them plastic. II is probable however
that wet grinding and kneading if suf-
fciently prolonged will develop Elasticity
in any of them. 1t seems to he m,
~ accepted that all flint clays are resrac-
tory. but this is not true, for any clay
will become Ain,y if placed under proper
conditions. 1t is true, however, that
mos, of the deposits Of flint clay which
are used commercially are h~igh-grade
clays and are consequently quite ~refrac.
tory The preparation of the poorer
grades is too expensive to permit their
use.
Some very curious deposits are found
auiong the eroded limestones of south.
eastern Missouri. They appear to have
been formed in sink holes like the ball
cla,s of the same region, but owing pro.
b bly, to defective drainage the clay par.
ticles have been cemented and the hin,y
structure developed. Where these dc.
posits lave been exposed TO the weather
; and To- teaching they have developed
Elasticity and have again become ball
clays. Most Of the high grade flint clays
could he used in the manufacture OF
whiteware IL 1t were not FOR the exces.
t sive shrinkagr and the cost af p,cpara.
ton. As it is, they are rarely usSd ex,
: cept in tho manufacture of FIRE bsick OF
c other refractory wares.
