  It 
  is 
  highly 
  gTatifying 
  to 
  see 
  the 
  manner 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  shale 
  de- 
  

   posits, 
  specially 
  those 
  in 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  state, 
  are 
  being 
  

   developed, 
  and 
  yet 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  matter 
  for 
  surprise, 
  since 
  they 
  form 
  an 
  

   inexhaustible 
  supply 
  of 
  plastic 
  material 
  which 
  in 
  most 
  cases 
  buiTis 
  

   to 
  a 
  good 
  red 
  color 
  at 
  a 
  very 
  moderate 
  temperature. 
  The 
  outcrops 
  

   are 
  so 
  abundant 
  that 
  the 
  prospective 
  manufacturer 
  can, 
  by 
  a 
  little 
  

  

  o 
  Common 
  and 
  pressed 
  brick 
  not 
  separately 
  classified 
  in 
  1894.
