TESTING THE STRENGTH OF THE

BI IWINO.

The Royal CommiN,ionen; arc evidently deter-
mined to allay the apprehension which has been excited in
the public mind on the subject of the strength of the build-
ing; and with this view they have subjected various distinct ,
parts of it to severe tests. The satisfactory results of these ,
et;,erintents have, we tru.t, removed from the minds of
timid p. °plc all unreasonahle apprehensims. The strength 1
of the galleries, however, rwaintil to be tried, and accord-
ingly, yesterday morning, at a little before 11 o'clock, the
experiment was made at the budding, with a view to ascer-
tain traetically the strength of the galleries' both under the
"roctchCon of supporting a dead load, and also a rolling or
tnovir.g one. A few simple figures wiU pretty clearly ex-
plain the 11:141 of calculation upon which the dimen-
sions of the several parts composing the galleries
have been determined. The points of support on
I.lsn occurring ut the angle• of squares of twenty-four

lad equal to 40 tons.
As it was ingenionedy coritrivill by the arrangement of
the flooring that this weight should 1w distributed over
four girders, awl every girder had been submitted, on the
ground, to a pressure of 13 tons (that being only half the
isinsinitim weight that (.1.4-11 was capable of supporting),

The immediate object of the experiment tried yesterday
Yea. to assure, by variow. test. of the severest character, to
'clad extent oscillations could be conveyed to the gallery by
the regular 'notion of a !icing mod, and to ascertain
whether the provision which had been made to meet such
tiontingencies was sufficient.
The preparations made for the experiment consisted of
the corotruction of u perfeet bay of gallery, with its Moor.,
Linder., girders, and connecting pieces, in every respect
tomplete, and similar to the actual gallery, supported upon
hour points, lit doled on temporary foundations.

from it, so that a row of men as a ode as the gallery might
he able to march up and clown in close column. Three
hundred workmen wv tint 11'.11111,11.11 by the contractor.,
and allowed no {soit the platform unit the planks connected
with it. They were then compressed into the smallest
MOW.' upon which they could stand.
The load borne oar the planks represented the share of
pre..ure which would be produced by the crowding of
adjacent buys of ic.allery. The amount or deflection produced
he this load was inappreciable. The men them, walked
regularly anti irregularly and ran ore, it. The elasticity
of the Mon allowing play to the timbers and the wrought
iron work, was admirably developed by this test, and it
tritiume apparent that this quality of elasticity was of the
greatest value in protecting the cast iron girders from mid-
den shock.

Thu., iu the severest test which could povaibly be applied
—when the men, standing cbssely packed together, con-
tinue 41 jumping simultammeely for several minutes, al-
though in the regular vibration of the floor the binders
played up and down, the extreme deflection of uuy of the
girsier• Jul not exceed a quarter of an inch.
As the contractors' men wen• unable to keep military
time in their step, and it was considered desirable to meet,
min the effect of perfectly regular oscillations, thew hole of
the corps of Royal Sappers awl Miners on the ground
...et in close columns were marched over and over, and

round and round. and were finally made to make time in the
moot trying manner. With the results of this last test the
eminent wientitie mon present expressed themselves highly
gratified, observing that while at the climax of vibration the
motion did not exceed that common in ordinary London
bowies at evening parties.
