Tho writer, a retired Anglo-Indian, reports he has discussed its practicability with tea estate managers and others home on furlough, and 1 that the idea has been taken up with a good deal of enthusiasm in India. "The manager of a jute mill has erected a wall of pise de terrc," he writes, "and, in 6pite of the use. of sajidy soil, the result has been pronounced satisfactory. A native building contractor, on seeing the wall, become very keen on the subject, and is erecting a house of this material j for himself. At three tea estates experiments are also to be made."
