Of strong alkaiies and OF starch size

Plaeinu Of euiIaina stone.

II is. generally speaking. the rule Of
masous that stone used in building
should be SO placed that it Will be as
it lay in its natural bed when quarried.
This familiar rule is not. however,
nlways to be depended upon and in
many cases needs to be supplemented
with other precautions. There are
three planes Of fracture known to
duarrymen. The riff is the direction
in which stone splits most easily: the
grain" that which is next easiest; the
"head" that which offers greatest re-
sistance. In paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture. the
TOP and bottom the grain and the ends
the head. But in a quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
