A NEW INDUSTRY
 AT CLAYTON, MASS.
WILL MAKE A WHITE CEMENT
It will be the Only Plant of it's Kind in the WorId-Cement is used in Ma king Imitatations of Marble-To Start September |.

Clayton, Mass, will soon have a man. ufaoturing establishment which will be the only one of it's kind in the world The plant is the property of The Berk. shire White Portland Cement Company who propose to manufacture just what the name indicates, i. G., white Portland cement. This product will be used where finer and better cement than that commonly used is wanted. They have adopted "Snow White" as the trade mark.
 Orders have been placed for consider able new machinery which will include a 150 horse power steam engine and a boiler of the same capacity, a rotary kiln, orushers, pulverizers etc. The kiln will be similar to that of the New Eng land Lime Company at Adams but much smaller, being 40 feet long and four feet in diameter. The buildings which were formerly used for the man. ufacture of terra cotta and white brick will be ample for the needs of the com pany thus no new ones will be built.
 The cement is composed of mixture of limestone and white clay. The lat ter is obtainable i'll almost inexhaustible quantities on the oompany's land and the former will be obtained near Shef- field. The stone is first passed through a cruslIer, then through a pulverizing machine which pulverizes it so fine that it will pass through 20mesh seive. The clay also passes through pulver- izer and is so thoroughly crushed that it will pass through a 100-mesh seive. Then the ground materials are mixed and ground finally becoming pulverized to the desired extent. This, in gener. al way is the process of manufacture al. though there are other details.
 The principal use of this cement is in the construction of artistic work in imi tation of marble.
 Men are now at work on the founda. tions for the machinery, the first ol which, 1t is expected, will arrive in about two weeks. The company hope to commence operations about September lst. and superintendent J. B. Tinker in formes us .hat employment will be pro vided for 15 to 20 men. The output will be about 40 barrels per day. This cement will, of course, cost considera bly, more than the ordinary Portland product because of the more expensive ingredients and the extreme care re quired ill it's making.

He Says he is Looking in new Direc-
 ton for the Typhoid Germ.
 Dr. Townsend, secretary of the State Board of Health was in Canaan again Friday. He was accompanied by B. O. Myers, bacteriologist of Middletown, Conn. MT. Myers was requested to ac- company Dr. Townsend to assist in con- tinuing the investigation which Dr. Townsend commenced here several days ago in an effort to determine the cause of the cases of typhoid fever which have existed here. Dr. Townsend declines to say along what lines he is working urther than that in his effort to ascer tain what created the infection he is looking to various quarters which have not been considered in the past. His reason for not making these theories public is, he says. that none of them may be correct and if such should be the case, making the matter public at this time would only result in causing need less anxiety. The bacteriologist in- formed Dr. Townsend while here that it will probably be ten days before he can make report on his part of the in- vestigation. This report is anxiously awaited by the public.
 Not Encouraging.
