This is 'more espe¬ cially the case Avhere coal is used in the largest quantity, and a careful examination has shoAvn that it is due mainly to the large quantity of sulphuric acid liberated by the conibustion of this substance, amounting to seventy pounds or more for each ton of even the purest quality. This acid forms sulphates, and it is on magne- sian limestones, or dolomites, that!the effects are most marked, the resulting sulphate of magnesia being very e-vident in the scrapings of the surface. The carved portions of the stone, and those -which arrest the dirt and dust, suf¬ fer most, from holding longer in contact with the stone the acidulated moisture :of the air. The resulting disintegration of the I stone is al¬ so facilitated by the crystallization of the sul¬ phates "within its pores. A careful consideration of the chemical pro-- cesses involved has led to the use of certain siibstanccs for the purpose of preventing the combinations mentioned, and, as it Avould seem, vrith. much success. An aqueous solution of superphosphate of lime was applied to the sur¬ face of the cleaned stone, either by brushing or immersion, and produced an insoluble ex¬ terior. Tlie cost of the material is but trifling, a gallon of the solution fui-nishing two. coats to about yOO square feet of Caen or Portland stone. It should not contain any appreciable quantity of sulphuric acid. For treatment of dolomites or magne.sian limestones, barj'ta is added to the hardening salt, for the pmijosc of destrojong any sulphate of magnesia already formed, giving rise to the very insoluble sul¬ phate of baryta. "When the supeqihosphate of lime is applied to the fresh surface of lime¬ stone, it has been found to add nearly fifty per cent, to the strength ; at least this was the case with the cubes of stone on Avhich the ex¬ periment was conducted. SUNCOOK, K H, is building a factory five hundred feet long, and requiring three million of bricks. Yale College owns $1,086,410 Avorth of property. It is thought 3,000 buildings Avill be" erected in "Washington this season. Paris occupies 17,500 acres, and- London covers 77,500 acres. The value of buildings now being erected in Detroit is $1,740,000. The late Matthew Vassar, of Poughkeepsie, left property valued at $400,000. Rochester, in this State, claims 03,000 pop¬ ulation.
