Volcanic Ash as Building Material.

FNS'' 40 ~N'N''G fStCfI"i'
Consul George II. Scdmore. at Nag
asaki, forwards a pamphlet, printed in
English. issued by a japanese com
pany, which describes the use and I'm
portance of volcanic ash In comblna-
ton with Portland cement. especially
for construction work in salt water
The advantages claimed for this vol
cauic ash are that, In combination
with Portland cement It gives a great
er tensile strength than cement NOR
tar alone, II is also claimed that the
mortar Is denser than cement mortar
and does not permit the percolation
OF water, thus obviating the injurious
action of water salts. This density
gives 1t a superior quality for con
structon of water reservoirs and re-
enforced concrete for the protection
o. iron from oxidation. The consul
adds that. should the correctness of
the Japanese cOmpauy's claims be
proved by trial. it is highly probable
that the enormous volcanic resources
of the Philippines will provide for
now and profitable industry.
