After the six hours heatingthey appeared more uniform. Long heating in a vacuum wouldtend to vaporize the more volatile constituents of the brick, andthis might produce an appreciable increase of melting point. The most common fire brick are those made of clay, of whichthe essential ingredient is kaolin, Al203,2Si02,2H20. Shepherdand Rankin8 found that the only compound of alumina and silicathat can exist in the neighborhood of the melting points is silli-manite, Al203,Si02. It follows
