Hollow Bricks Popular.

During the past few years the use
OF hollow blocks and hollow bricks
has extended rapidly. These are much
lighter THAI solid bricks and effect an
important saving in railway carriage,
but they must be distinguished from
porous bricks. The weight alone is
not sufficient guide, as hollow bricks
are now made which are lndistinguish
able in appearance from solid bricks
When cut or broken their hOllowness
is easily seen. On the continent por
GUS bricks are defined as having
weight which is notably less than
common bricks. but this definition will
have to be abandoned now that hol
low bricks are made in large numbers.
