BRICKS FROM SLAG. 
The problem of what to do with slag seems to 
have been solved by the George-Marien Mining 
and Smelting Company, at Osnabruck, where 
the granulated slag from blast furnaces is mixed 
with slag cement in the proportion of one part of 
slag to eight parts of cement, and the mixture ie 
compressed into bricks weighing 7i lb. After two 
or three months' exposure to the air these bricks 
are suitable for building purposes. Whilst they 
are newly made they can be cut to any shape 
desired, and their rough surface facilitates their 
use with a miuimu.n of mortar. These bricks will 
sustain a pressure of 1,500 lb per square inch, and 
are very suitable for resisting the hi ^h tempera- 
tureof factory chimneys. The slag finely granulated 
and mixed with cement in the proportions of 
eleven co one furnishes excellent mortar, — Sell's

Tea in Sicily. — We learn from Nature 
that an attempt was made to grow the tea 
bush in Sicily (from Japan plants) so far back 
as 1872; but not much success attended the 
cultivation, and, as nothing has been heard oj 
it since, we suppose the trial was abandoneij,
