The increased wear resistance of the experimental periclase-spinel products is probably explained by the reduction in the rates of zone formation owing to the features of the phase composition and the structure of the refractories, and also the appreciable strength and comparatively low thermal conductivity.

It is desirable to use perous periclase-spinel products for lining the sintering zones of rotary kilns used for firing magnesite, mainly in the most badly worn sections having a temporary fused area (skin).

Reviewed by: The Sweetheart of Prosper County Karen Coats Alexander, Jill S. . The Sweetheart of Prosper County. Feiwel, 2009212p. ISBN 978-0-312-54856-8$16.99 R Gr. 6-9 Although fifteen-year-old Austin Gray is next in line to take over her family's prosperous hardware business in their small Texas town, there's nothing really special about her other than the fact that she's the favorite target of Dean Ottmer and his "scratch-and-spit" friends. She decides that if she can become next year's Future Farmers of America Sweetheart, she'll have enough confidence to ignore Dean, so she sets her plan in motion by getting a bantam rooster to raise and enter into the fair. Her feisty pet soon becomes a town favorite, and her new FFA friends are warm, generous, and supportive. Her year of trying to become Sweetheart proves even more fulfilling than she could have hoped, however, as it eventually leads her mother into finally talking about Austin's father, whose adventurous spirit cost him his life when Austin was in third grade. This is a warm-hearted, satisfying story with a strong sense of place and well-drawn characters. Austin is girl-next-door credible, with petty jealousies and sometimes reluctantly generous assessments of the people around her that become less reluctant as she learns to be more generous in her assessment of herself. The secondary characters are a mix of small-town types and more complexly realized, quirky individuals that add to the everyday humor of life in a close-knit community. This is similar in theme and sensibility to Houts' The Beef Princess of Practical County (BCCB 5/09) in that rural kids, especially those who wear the FFA blue jacket, will find their experiences mirrored and valued here.

The Union between our Mother Country and

these Colonies, and the Energy of mild and just

Government, produced Benefits so remarkably

important, and afforded such an Assurance of

their permanency and increase, that the Wonder

and Envy of other Nations were excited, while

they beheld Great-Britain rising to a Powerthe

most extraordinary the World had ever known.

Her Rivals observing, that there was no pro-

bability of this happy Connection being broken

by Civil Dissensions, and apprehending its future

effects, if left any longer undisturbed, resolved to

prevent her receiving such continual and formi-

dable Accessions of Wealth and Strength, by

checking the growth of these Settlements from

which they were to be derived.

In the Prosecution of this Attempt, Events so

unfavourable to the Design took Place, that every

Friend to the Interests of Great-Britain and these

Colonies, entertained pleasing and reasonable

Expectations of seeing an additional Force and

Extension immediately given to the Operations

of the Union hitherto experienced, by an Enlarge-

ment of the Dominions of the Crown, and the

Removal of ancient and warlike Enemies to a

greater Distance.

At the Conclusion, therefore, of the late War,

the most glorious and advantageous that ever had

been carried on by British Arms, your loyal Co-

lonists having contributed to its Success, by such

repeated and strenuous Exertions, as frequently

procured them the distinguished Approbation of

your Majesty, ofthe late King, and ofParliament,

doubted not, but that they should be permitted,

with the Rest of the Empire, to share in the

Blessings of Peace, and the Emoluments of Vic-

tory and Conquest.

While these recent and honorable Acknow-

ledgments of the Merits remained on Record

in the Journals and Acts of that august Legisla-

ture, the Parliament, undefaced by the Imputa-

tion or even the Suspicion of any Offence, they

were alarmed by a new System of Statutes and

Regulations, adopted for the Administration of

the Colonies, that filled their Minds with the

most painful Fears, and Jealousies; and to their

inexpressible Astonishment, perceived the Danger

of a foreign Quarrel quickly succeeded by domes-

tic Dangers, in their Judgment, of a more dreadful

Kind.
