That at least an elemental knowledge of the subject of btiilding stones and clay products is of importance to the architect few people will deny, since familiarity with their properties, durability, and, in the case of clay products, their methods of manufacture will enable him to select and use these materials more intelligently. At the same time, the preparation of an elementary work on the subject is not free from difficulties, for the reason that most architects have but a limited knowledge of geology and ceramic technology. The author has, therefore, attempted to state facts and explanations as simply as possible, and as a further aid in this direction has included a glossary at the end of the book. The general arrangement of the book follows the course of lectures given each year to the students in the College of Architecture of Cornell University, and it has been the encouraging reception which these received that has led the author to give them to the public. The work is not intended as an exhaustive treatise, but, in stead, aims to give simply the fundamentally important facts. It is therefore, beyond the scope of the book to take up any but the more important occurrences of building stone, and those who desire detailed information on this point will consult our standard American work, Stones for Building and Decoration by G. P. Merrill. Since the architect often desires to know how extensively and for what purposes the different building stones have been used, an attempt has been made to give a list of structures in which the more important ones at least have been placed.

Sometimes such a condition will produce an increase in content of magnesia toward the bottom of the bed, while iu a pure bed little if any regular variation of magnesia has been discoverable with increase in depth from which sample may have been taken. Soluble silica. The marl is intimately associated with the remains of plants, no matter how pure it may be or at what depth it may be sampled. The same may be said in regard to shells although samples have been found where the shell formation could not be traced. It is certain that plants, especially diatoms in the course of their growth, render a very small amount of silica soluble. This of course would remain in the body of the marl after the death of the plant. Certain shells are said to have the same power. The amount of silica in a good marl is very small. The soluble silica will not be in amount to help or hinder greatly, for, as may be seen in the analyses cited, it is but a fraction of a per cent. The insoluble silica is, however, higher in per cent and it is that which must be watched closely. It ought not to exceed three or four per cent for the reason that it interferes with the balancing of the silica and calcium content of the slurry and prevents the best burning of the mixture. Insoluble silica as sand is one of the most refractory substances known. It is not as finely divided as clay silica, does not make as intimate a mixture with the lime of the marl and does not flux so easily. Although sand marl cement can be made, sand is entirely out of place in the process used in Michigan, and should be guard...
