It was demonstrated that the business would not gay unless a. power plant was put in to press out the brick. 0f c0urse, a little money conltl be made by working by hand. The only ingredients in a cement brick are water. sand and cement. There are few articics on the market which do not contain more. In manufactuaing clay brick, it is necessary to purchase. in the course of a year. alarge quantity of wood [or burning the brick, but in manu- facturing cement brick this is un- necessary. because the cement is already calcined in the kilns at a heat of 3000 degrees.

Scientifically exact composition, a perfect mixture 0! ultra particles, semi-lusion at a hilliant white heat and perlect ox- idization in burning. together with the final reductions of the clinker {armed to a fine dust, are the essen- tials of Portland Cement manufacture In regards to the comparative qualities of the clay and cement ‘brick, a few words will not. be amiss. Cement brick inf-reuse in strength and hardness with age and are im- proved by the elements. while clay brick will decay and crumble. The normal composition of a cement brick is within the following limits: Silica, 2!) to 25 A; Alumina, 5 to 9; Oxide of Iron, 3 to 5; Lime, :3? to 65; Magnesia, l to .4; Sulphuric acid. 0.25 to ‘2, according to tne nature of the particular raw materials used. The manufacturer must determine the proper composition within the limits mentioned above and must maintain a uniformity of the product by means of repeated analytical tests. e7. Thq adaptabilitv to be molded into every form is one of its valuable attributes. Canadians have within tecent years 111 do great strides in the use of Portland Cement. and the art It! its manufacture. New processes adapted to the treatment of our naterial and labor saving devices, have enabled us to more than com- pete in both quality and price with ghe‘loujgn Product, and we_are new Portland Cement brick attain in the space of a few years a very great hardness. Although in the erection of buildings, cement mortar is re- quired principally to resist pressure. it is the universal opinion that cement brick and cement mortar will combined make a greater power of resistance to compression than any Other kind of brick and mortar. Portland Cement is the best mater- ial yet manufactured for the making of artificial stone. Properly mixed with good sand and gravel, it makes the hardest and most durable stone; surpassing in smoothness and wear, freedom from cleavage by frost, and brittleness and breakage by blows, l and especially in durability, any ' tatural paving or building stone, ort ):ick. It. is enperior to clay, as it is practically indestructnhle. In old Bomen work. cement has resisted the wear of men for over a thousand years. although the Roman cement was vestlv inferior to the present Portlend cement. Under many cir- cumstances it is ehsolntely necessary 33 where very strong wells are need- It was hard and up hill work to get the brick and other things made utiefactorily, but they, after much perseverance. acquired a knowledge which enabled them to manufacture nfirst class article in the brick es- pecially. and equal to any and better than a good many clay brick. This plant was kept in operation four months and turned out a large number of brick and other articles manufactured out of cement. Many sales were made to farmers who wanted to build chimneys. and in HISTORY OF THE CEIBNT BRICK INDUSTRY I N DURHAI, by Frederick Palen. About the middle of June, 1904.the first Cement Brick to he made in Durham, Ontario. were made on the homestead of Mr. John Williams, an employee ti the National Portland Cement Co. Mr. John Williams and Mr. Frederick Palen. both of whom are employ, ees o! the National Port- land Cement Co. Limited, saw great opportunities for the use of cement in manufacturing wares of all kinds and they agreed to form a partner- Ihip and go into the manufacture of cement brick and several other articles such an window and door oills. They were deeirousol knowing' if cement wares could be made at a profit, 80 they hired two men, pur- chased a quantity of lumber. and made “ooaen molds for brick and blOCki. etc {our nuu man sale wan 90m brie 'J'ms plant. wa: or months and lumber of brick Inufacturcd on 103 were mm noted to build 'io 80 on the on of u most Always Grow Strong and Have a Rosy Complexion by using Ferrozone is by long odds the best tonic for pale-faced girls and exhaust- ed women.

The uses of Portland cement are numerous. all may be called artificial stone. except perhaps mortar and plaster. or "stucco” (walks), brick, curbs and steps, floors. cellar, Stable, wash. spring or milk houses, tannery. slaughter houses. chemical works, brewerv and malt houses. walls of buildings, caps and sills. piers and abutments for bridges,arches.sewers conduits. bridges, culverts, etc, foundations for buildings. engines. monuments and heavy structures generally,street pavements. water, harbor and dam work. wells, reser- voirs. silos. steep tubs, tannery and egg vats. stones, waterproof concret- ing of wet and damp cellars. cement wares as laundry tubs. burial cases, manners, troughs and objects.

Portland Cement Mortar.â€"â€"The consumption of Portland cement in this country is increasing yearly. but the consumption is not half as great as it would be if there was more general knowledge of the advantages of using it. The increase has been confined to work under charge of the best engineers and architects in the large cities, or the Canadian govern- ment engineers and architects and the cement walk builders. But im- proved methods grow slowly. and only the better engineers adapt them. For instance, the use of natural cement as a mortar is known to be unsafe wherever exposed to the action of the elements. Bridge piers built with natural cement mortar are being constantly renewed all over the country, and the majority of them are being rebuilt with the same mor- tar because the engineers have never used Portland cement. and because they erroneously think that the mortar made from natural cement and sand costs less than suitable mortar made of Portland cement. The truth is, no mortar is too good for any masonry, and no masonry without good mortar is of much value. Mortar is so small a portion of the masonry that no care should be spared to make it the best possi- ble. Cement Brick Work.â€"Soak the brick well before laying the cement or the cementwill have no water to make them harden. How to make cement lime mortar â€"â€"Spread the proper quantity of sand on boards as near the work as practi- cable to get the material; over that pour the quantity of cement, after these are well mixed, shovel them into a mortar box, in which has been placed the lime, thoroughly slacked and screened and mixed with water enough to make into a paste or putty. Mix the whole to a uniform mortar. This should be carefully done, as the lime paste is hard to distribute thoroughly. Water-tight mortar.â€"-â€"Naturally. for the exclusion of water, the at- most density is required, and the fatter the mixture the greater the density. The thickness of the layer is important, and the longer it hard- ens is a factor. as mortar that would not be water-tight at first, becomes so later as the cement continues to harden and close up the pores. porous then fine.
