Spared went on to the barn. Be-

Reuben laughed with them. He

What Makes Cement Get Hard

The hardening of cement is due
chiefly to-. the decomposition Of the
compounds of lime upon the addi-
ton of water, resulting in the for
nation of calcium hydrate, which
on disqualification binds together the
other solid ingredients. The initial
setting is due principally to the de-
composition of the eliminates,
while the final hardening depends
more upon the action Of the silicates.

Locally 1t is believed that the rest
