The officers of Purdue University have issued
a special circular in which Professor Albert w.
Stahl, assistant engineer United States navy,
and teacher of mechanical engineering, sets
forth the advantages of the testing laboratory
recently opened in connection with the eng ineer
ing department. The scope of the work done in
this laboratory is as follows: The determination
of the physical properties of the materials used
in construction, showing the power of various
woods, metals, stones, brick and &C.
ments, to resist tension, compression,
transverse strain, elongation and contorton
under strain and the limit of elasticity and due
tility. Full directions for the preparation o:
materials to be tested accompany the circular,
which is being largely distributed among manu-
facturers, contractors and builders, and is sent
on application. The charges for this work are
but nominal, and run from one to three dollars.
The material for State, county or city buildings
is tested free of charge. Another branch of the
work is the determination of the
error of steam gauges and the cor
rection of the same. This is a matter OF
great interest, as it often occurs that the gauge
indicates a perfectly safe pressure, while
the actual pressure in the boiler
is far beyond the limit Of safety Determination
is also made of the efficiency Of steam boilers and
engines, ascertaining the combustion of fuel and
the evaporative power of the boiler and the
amount of fuel consumed per horsepower In
sufficient boilers, or engines with their valves
not properly set or out of order. are sources Of
loss, waste and danger. The tests reveal the
cause of ineficiency, and suggest the necessary
improvements and repairs Complete records
are kept of all these tests. This kind OF work is
in the line of what should be done at a mechan
ical school, and will be both educative and eco
pomical
