Text Appearing Before Image:
t inches wide, and only two inches thick. Itsedge was often enameled with brilliant color, even at Ninevehand Babylon. Do we use Enameled Bricks ? Yes. A white enamel is put on the edges of bricks for thewalls of courts, and for the lower parts of the walls of corridorsin great buildings. Do we use Mosaic Pavements ? Very largely. It is said that there are 50,000,000 small piecesof baked clay in the Pompeiian mosaic floors of the main Audi-torium Building at Chicago. The pavement thus laid is moredurable than the tile mosaics that were formerly used. What is Terra Cotta ? These words are Italian for baked clay. In our language,Terra Cotta embraces all that class of brick manufactures usedto cover brick walls, and to surround iron columns. An increas-ing quantity of this brick-ware is used for partitions. It is castwith two flues in each piece, and is capable of withstandinggreat heat while the air is passing through the flues. It is nearlyas difficult to thoroughly heat clay as water.
