good from the bad stone. For bridge-building purposes the Berea 
stone is considered the best of the sandstones of northern Ohio, since it | 
possesses greater strength. Tests made by J. B. and W. W. Cornell 
indicated that a 13 inch cube would withstand a pressure of 15,400 
pounds. The Berea stone has been extensively used throughout the 
whole country, and may be seen in the following: The Merchants’ Bank 
of Canada building, Young Men’s Christian Association buildings, and 
Montreal Telegraph buildings, Montreal, Canada; post-office building, 
Bank of Montreal building, and the Garland & Mutchinson building,

Three miles west of Berea a large quarry is worked, and in the imme- 
diate neighborhood three other quarries are situated, which have not been 
tabulated here because they produce but very little building stone, and 
the material is almost exclusively manufactured into heavy grindstones. 
The total value of the grindstones produced from the four quarries was 
over $10,000 during the census year. Good building stone could not
