In this connection I would therefore call attention to some of the uses to which Portland cement is t@dnpted, and the method of appliâ€" cation. is absolutely necessaelxv, as where ver strong walls are needed. The aduptabiz ity to be molded into every form is one of its valuable attributes. Canadians have within recent years made great strides in the use of Portland cement and the art of its manufacture. New processes adapted to the treatment of our material and labor saving devices; have enabled us to more than compete in both quality and price with the foreign product, and wearenow believed to be on the eve of a most phenomenal expansion of allthe industries in which the goods manufactured out of Portland suning in smoothness and wear, freeâ€" om from cleayage by frost, and brittleness and breakage by blows; and especially in durability any natural paying or building stone or brick. It is superior to clay as it is practicall ijudestructible. In old Roman wor{ cement bhas resisted the wear of man and the elements for over a thousand years, although the Roman cement was vastly inferior to the present Portlard cement. Under many circumstances it Portland cement is the best material yet manufactured for the making of artificial stone, Properly mixed with ood sand and gravel, it makes the gurdest and most durable stone; surâ€" Portland cement;â€"Portland cement is a compound consisting of chemically combined, Lime, Silica, Alumina, oxide of iron, Sulphuric acid, and one or two other properties. _ Produced by a semiâ€" fusion of a most perfect and intimate mixture of Calcareous and Argilaceous material. The composition of raw material must be such as to furnish these elements in the proper proportion together with a proper amount of cerâ€" tain fluxing material. The mixture must be chemically correct, infinitely tine, soft and free frem all deleterious substance. As a rule only the finest marl and chalks are suitable. Sciâ€" entifically exact enmposition, a perfect mixture of uluraâ€"particles, semiâ€"fusion at a brilliant white heat and perfect oxidization in burning, together with the final reductions of the clinker formâ€" ed to a fine dust, are the essentials of Portland cement manufacture. Portland cement brick attain in the space of few years very great hardness. Although in the erection of buildings, cement mortar is required principally to res‘st pressure, it is the nniversal opinâ€" ion that cement brick and cement wortar, will, combined, make a greater power of resistance to compression than any other kind of brick and mortar. The normal composition of a cement brick is within the following limits, according to the nature of the particâ€" ular raw materials used; Silica 20.0 to 25% Alumina 5.0 * :97 Oxide of iron 2 .0 * 5% Lime 57,0 " 65% Magnesia 1.0 !* 4Z, Sulphuric acid 0.2% " 27 lhe manufacturer must determine the proper composition within the limits mentioned aboye and must maintain a uniformity of the product by means of repsated analytical tests. 1 uierr n n hn i4 In regards to the comparatiye qualâ€" ities of the clay and cement brick a few words will not be amiss; cement brick increase in strength and hardness with age and are improyed t:iy the elements, while clay brick will decay and crumble. The only ingredients in a cement brick are. ‘water, sand and cement. There are few articles on the market which do not contain more. In manuâ€" facturing clay brick it is necessary to purchase in the course of a year a large quantity of wood for barning the brick, but in manufacturing cement brick this is unnecessary, because the cement is already calcined in the kilns at a heat ot 3000 degrees Fah. This is one of the items which can be saved in manufacturing cement brick, and which is indispensible with clay brick. The cost of manutacture was bowâ€" ever, very high, and it was deemed prudent to close down the Flant as soon as the weather got chillyv, they having ascomplished their object in getting the figures to show what the cost of manutactnring would be. It was demonstrated that the ousiness wouid not pay unless a power plant was put in to press out the brick, of course a litle money could be made by working by hand. This plant was kept in operation about four morths and turned out a large number of brick and other arâ€" ticles manufactured out of cement. Many sales are made to farmers who wanted to build chimneys and in some case walls out of the cement brick. All of those who purchased the cement brick have since expressed their satâ€" istaction and agreed that cement briek is the best. It was hard and uphill work toget the brick and other things made satâ€" isfactorily, but they after much perseveranee, acquired a knowledge which enabled them to manufacture a first class article in the brick especially and equal to any and better than a good many clay brick.
