No. 1 a Holstein brand of cement ; 2, 3, 6 Sileaian cement ; 4, 5 pozzuolana cement. 



All of these cements are said to fulfil the Prussian regula- 

 tions. They have a tensile strength after 28 days, when mixed 

 1-3, of over 230 pounds per square inch, and a compressive 



ength of more than 2300 pounds per square inch. A sieve 

 of 000 meshes rejects less than 10#. They are of constant volume. 



The apecimena were tested by pressing them with a load of 

 50 pounds against a cast iron disk, rotating at the rate of about 

 22 revolutions a minute. 20 grams of Xapus quartz, no. 3, were 

 put on plate at start, and a similar quantity at the end of every 

 15th turn. 



The body is weighed when starting and again at the end of 

 the 30th revolution.
