SAXDSTONES FOR BUILDING.

'l'lic last minibcrofthc ;lIi/ting ‘Vaga- zim: contains :1 paper recently read he- foro the Boston Society of Natural His- lory, by 1“. Alger on the above subject. Samples were exhibited of the New Jer- sey sandstoiic, of which New York Tri- iiity churcli is built; also of the Connec- ticut brown smidstoiie, which is more go-

' ncrully llSt:(l lllltll tiny other; also it new

kind front .\'ot'n Scotiu. The preference was given to the latter. The New Jersey stone was considered next in quulitv. while the (Jounecticiit stone was held to bc inferior to both. The Nova Scotia stouc contained no carbonate oflime,and no sulpliurct ot iron; neither does the Jersey stone, while the C0llll8'_‘llC1ll. kind coiitaiiis both carbonate of lime, mica. and sonic sulphate of iron. These sub- stances in sandstone detract from its durability, and cause the stone to split off in scales, when subjected to excssive heat. A culiic foot of Nova Scotizt sand- stone weighs I55 pounds; the same bulk

of Jersey stone weighs 157 pminds per cubic foot. The great amount of iron which the lrtttcr contains is the cause ufits greater weight. All these sand-

, stones belong to the sedimentery group of the old or new Red sandstone and ac-

company the coal formations. , Matty of the line old buildings in Great Britain are composed of thcse——-sucli as the famous Abbey of Mclrose, the Glasgow Cathe- dral,&c; and so durable have they proved to be, that altlio’ they have stood since ll42——-714 years, the most minute mould- ' s and decorations are yet in perfect condition. All sandstones do not possess the same durable qualities. Some of them soon monlder and decay by ex- posure to the weather. Sandstones con- taining deep red streaks are not tobe depended on, as these marks are evi- dences ol the presence of oxyd of iron, which soon crumbles out. It is true that the face of Mttltlslulle can be by paint, but then it is much c caper to use brick than such stone, and it looks nearly as well in a building. Sandstone of a close ﬁne, uniform grain should always be laid down in a building in the same position its layers occupy in aim —that is, horizontally. No stone, mar- ble or sandstone should ever be laid tip in a building with their planes of strati- ﬁcation vertical; and yet we have seen many thus laid. Every person knows or should know that they cannot, when tbtis laid, stand such a crushing force ; they are liable to split down through these planes when superincumbent weight is laced upon them. The edges only 0 the layers of stone should be exposed to the weather, because if placed otherwise they are more liable to crumble and decay in climates like‘ ours, where there is much moisture and frost. If :1 block of sandstone be immersed in 8. saturated solution of the sulphate of soda for a few hours,then exposed to the atmosphere for a few days,crystallization will take place within the pores of the stone and cause the same disintegration that is produced by frost. This is r. Ure’s test of the

Wash for Wounds iii CatlIe.—Dissolve one ounce of sulphate of zinc (white cop- pores) in a quart of soft water, and wash the wound with this, morning and evening. It is an excellent wash for common sores, but for virulent ulcers of long standing, the following is also an excellent and more powerful wash; Sulphate of zinc, one ottncc; corrosive sublimate, one drain; and murintic acid (spirit of salt,) ~l’drams,—~ till dissolved in tr. pint of soft water and bottled for use. Apply it with it sponge morning and evening.

Oil for lVounds.—Take one pint of nent’s foot oil, and half an ounce of the oil of thyme; mix them together and add, by degrees, 6 drains of the oil of vitriol. These itigredients must be well stirred in a glass or stone-ware vessel, until they are perfectly incorporated, then bottled up for u This is an excellent oil for bruises in the feet of horses, and oxen.

Hoof Oinlmcrtt—Take one pound each Iof tar and tallow, and mix them with half a pound of common turpentine in a stone- ware dish. Stir them well until they are thoroughly incorporated together. ‘his lferms an excellent dressing for the sore .hoofs of horses and oxen.

Tris T0nBANEll|l.L MINERAL.-—An Eng- lish paper says, that the Queen's Palace has for some time been lighted by means of the “'I‘oi-banchill Mineral," the gas from this substance being destitute of sulphur. The same journal says:—Last year 10, 000 tons of this mineral were sent to Lon- don alone. Not long ago,the French Gov- ernment published a report regarding this substance, which had previously lighted up the whole of the Hotel des Invalides. It is sent to the most distant parts of the globe. A ship loaded with blocks of this mineral conveys an enormous quantit of a acu- liar oil, the source of the illuminating power, in the smallest possible bulk—75 er cent. or three-fourths of the substance being latent oil, and the rest pure clay.

A vouso man was conversing in a public- house of his abilities and accent lishments, and boasting a great deal of is mighty performances. When he had ﬁnished, a Quaker quietly observed, “ There is one thing thou canst not do ; thou canst not tell the truth.”
