Anew brick that has recently been Introduced in Kngland is nearly five times as large as an ordinary brick, I tut in comparison is much less heavy md is easily handled, ' The lighter weight results from the hollowing out of the brick to provide air layers. By the shaping of the ends the exlstenc? of joints running all the jvay through the wall Is ta voided. The brick 1s, as * rule, made of one part of cement ?nd four parts sand by simple hand machinery. Three men can make enough bricks in a day to build 400 to 500 square feet of wall. A further woBoiuy is effected by- the manner of kjinc the walls, inasmuch as the ends Md bottoms of the br^pks need -only 1* dipped in h thin- lime mortar mixed *itb a small amount of cement.

There Is located immediately west of Junction City a few miles soutji of Danville, Ky., a wonderful geological formation known as ' "BalU Blue Knob." This Is a member of the chain that branches off from the Cumberland mountains and extends along th$> route of the Knoxville divi sion of - the Louisville & Nashville railway. From Its foot to It's crest about 2Q0 feet and except on the largq flat top, with a small knob in its ;oenter, it is covered with shrubbery and vege tation. The top, however, Is abso lutely barren. Not- a sprig of any kind has ever grown upon The son Ts as blue as Indigo and this coloring has never been affected by the ravages time. It Is be lieved by many that this knob was at one time a volcano, atfd that the surface" of the crest was belched forth from the bowels of the eartli. The "Bald Blue Knob" has been art object of wonder for many genera tions, and hundreds of visitors ascend Its steep sides each year to view its crown of richest azure, Milk and Meat Prevent Pellagra.
