The Old Brick Architecture of 
 Holland and Belgium 
 
 DID you ever notice a little touch of art which shows itself in 
 the way they lay their brick bond as differing from the Eng- 
 lish ? Both use most generally the so-called English bond, — 
 continuous rows, first of stretchers, then of headers. The English 
 lay these rows all alike, but the Dutch break joint with the stretcher 
 rows, thus keeping the same structural strength, but varying the lines 
 of the vertical joints and giving regular diagonal lines which are very 
 pleasing. It adds just that touch of art which we find all through 
 Dutch work when compared with English of a similar period. Where 
 Tudor work is coarse (picturesque and strong, it is true), the Dutch 
 is refined and executed with the skill of an artist, and even where 
 the Dutch run into vagaries, they are such as artists use, and one 
 can well pardon a little frivolity in art to a people who have had so 
 much stern reality in their daily lives. 
 
 "Then one is struck by the fact that they never try to do with 
 brick what it is unsuited for — they never try to conceal joints and 
 make their walls look smooth and unbroken, like a surface of cement, 
 and they never attempt any ornament which is not a legitimate con- 
 structive use of brick ; but they make the most of every opportunity 
 which the material affords to a skilled workman."

 Every progressive architect and builder should have a working knowledge of steam and electricity as related to heating, light and power. 
 
 Such a knowledge can be gained through our courses in 
 
 ELECTRICAL and STEAM ENGINEERING. 
 
 In addition to their regula.r instruction papers, students in fuk engineering courses are furnished a Technical Reference Library 
 
 (in ten "volumes) as a help in their studies. This Library contains practical information relating to steam, 
 
 electrical, mechanical and sanitary engineering , and is of great 'value to architects.

 Conservatory Chambers, Dormitories for the New England Conservatory of Music, for 
 which Prof Norton's tests were made. E. T. Barl^er, Architect, Boston. 
 
 A Scientific and Exhaustive Test for Sound-proofing", 
 resulting in the Recommendation and Adoption of 
 Cabot's Deafening Quilt, and the construction of an 
 absolutely Sound-proof Building for Musical Students. 
 
 Almost every room in these buildings is a studio of vocal or in- 
 strumental music, and would be unfit for the purpose unless each 
 room were entirely isolated from the sounds of the others. To solve 
 this difficult problem the Directors instructed Prof. C. L. Norton, of 
 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to make a series of 
 elaborate and exhaustive tests to ascertain the best method of con- 
 struction. An ordinary metal lath and plaster partition only 3 ' 
 thick, but lined with Cabot's Deafening Quilt, proved far superior 
 to all others, although all the others were much thicker, heavier 
 and more expensive. Prof. Norton's report (see " Insurance En- 
 gineering " for August, 1902) says : 
 
 "The efficiency of the Cabot Quilt as a material for rendering the partition 'sound-proof 
 is so clearly demonstrated in these tests that I recommend it for use in the partitions." 
 
 Quilt was used in both floors and partitions, and the finished 
 building shows it to be a complete success. 
 
 Quilt is the only deadener that absorbs and dissipates 
 the sound waves. Non-decaying, uninflammable and 
 
 sanitary a scientific sound-proofer, indispensable for 
 
 apartments, schoolhouses, hotels and hospitals.
