kansas has one liquor dealer for every

these are states where men make the

ton of large buildings and homes, and
as sidewalk slabs. monuments and grave
stones. Cement GRANTEES are close copies
of natural stone. They have high sup
porting strength, are waterproof and can
be produced far more cheaply.
Much of the beauty of granite is owing
t. the sparkle of its quartz crystals and
the simmer of the mica corns which en-
ter into its composition. The quartz
crystals are sometimes white. sometimes
sreenish. often bright as water prisms
and. again. like frosted glass. but always
sparkling. The mica flakes are black,
with a metallic sheen. and are sown
thicbly through the stone. Both the ef-
retained in the cement granite which, as
in the natural GRANTEES, are produced in
three colors-in white, red and green.
The great body of the artificial granite
is. of course, the cement. This is mixed
thoroughly with pigment, if green or red
granite is to be manufactured. To obtain
the sparkle of the quartz crystal. a fine
grained quartz sand is used Mica is
mixed with the mass to produce the
sheeny black taking. -AdmiXtur of too
great a quantity of mica not only colors
the whole surface of the stone black but
Neakens the resistance of the finished
stone against frost. y popular delusion
which has ensnared many a handy man is
that cement granite. as well as the other
imitation stone sorts, may be successfully
and cheaplv produced in q temporary
backyard plant, according to the general
technique of hardness. This overconfi-
dent assurance is responsible for the oc
casional bad repute of imitation stone,
