Tenncity Of Wrought Iron.

To The Editors oCthe BAH Amc, icgn.
GENTLEMEN The September number OF
the Engineer and Architects Journal contains
some interesting experiments on the power Of
wrought iron, To resist fracture by percussion,
by Jas Nasmyth, &. L. | give you short
statement OF them, and refer those Of your read
crs more particularly interested to the work
itself
Mr. ~ says: "From former practical ex-
pericnce in the working Of Iron in the pro-
however tough, tenacious, and excellent in
quality piece o wrought iron might be origin
allv, hv certain treatment, that tehacity might
be all but entirely destroyed and as such
treatment S very frequently, absolutely ne
cessary in forging wrought iron into certain
forms, the knowledge OF the process for rcmov-
lnr such b,d effects, and at the same tune ma.
tcrially increasing It's tenacity, becomes ofgrcat
Importance.
"Ifa piece Of tho very best wrought iron IS
hammered in tho process Of forging, until It
ceases 10 be red hot, the effect of such cold
hammering renders IT so brittle, that IN many
cases it breaks across in the profess or if it
docs not at the time, It's tenacity is so much
reduced as TO render it capable oi being broken
| by the slightest blow"
To prove the above statement he made the
| following experiments
lst 4 bar of the very best wrought iron i
inches square, being at temperature ct 6Oo
was laid on the edge Of an anvil, the end pro
| iecting over about three inches 1t was broker
short of by nine blows from heavy sic G,
hammer.
2nd Par, Of the SAME bar was heated re-
hot, and hammered until nearly cold it w,
then laid on the anvil at the same Temperature
and in the same position, as in the first cEror'
ment, and was broken short of by one sgh
blow Ofthc same hammer, the fracture exhibit
ing beautiful close crystalline grain, suci
as is generally considered prco Of good quail
ty.
Sd. Part of the same har was treated exact
" the same, as in the second experiment whei
laid down 10 cool at leisure at GO 1t wa
laid in the same position as before, aud receJ
we'd lOj vigorous blows from the sam" hammer

Duration OF sleep.

Ofthe duration of sleep the periods varies in
various men. John Hunter, Frederick of Prus-
sia, Napoleon, and other great men slept but
little The Duke of Wellington is also lit
tie sleeper. Boethaye says, that on one oc.
casion, his mind being much engaged, he could
not sleep for six weeks. He probably meant
to write not soundly.' He added the case of
student, who adopted the strange theory, that
the natural condition of man was sleep; are
to test the truth Of the doctrine, slept eghteen
hours ofthe twenty-tour and as might havs
been expected, died Of apopIexy. The eide,
DescrozleS seems to have slept but two hours
in twenty-four. Annaias de Chimic. How
ever, the number, Of hours passed in sleep va
res from six to twelve. The indolent, and
those whose avocations or fortunes doom them
to inert life, sleep many more hours than are :
necessary, but eight or nine hours would seen /
to be about the fair proportion which every
man ought to take who values his health, a :
expects his intellects to be in a fit state to en-
joy life.

much sleep; youth more than is generally al.

/ But these are exceptions to this law Of nature

according To- Stahls notions, children foresaw
that, in the long career before them, there was
time enough Cor performing at leisure all the
acts Of life; while old men, near to their end.

DR.. Elliotson writes-'Old people sleep
lightly and frequently; and altogether but Ill

With tongue and all things well-conoerslng
The wh,t can charm, the what can pie Sc,

In the small kcrnei gcrm'd We see
The forests future p'lde-TnE InLE!
