EXpEl1MESrs have proved that the
tensile strength of q wet rope is only
one-third that of the same rope wllen
dry; aud a rope saturated with grease.
or soap is weaker still, as the lubricant
permits the tibers to slip with greater
facility. Hemp rope contractsstrongly
on being wet, and a dry rope twenty
five feet long will contract to twenty
four on being wet.
The poisonous properties Of metals
are i'll proportia to the atomic weight
aud specific heat Of the metal. The
theory may he expressed thus: The
higher the atomic weight and the lower
the specific heat tue more intense is the
metallic poison. I.itlliuln furnishes ali
exception to tl,islaw %oftoxicity OF metal;
but metallic litllium kills by its %conyuls-
ing action on the nervous system, and
not by the ordinary toxic effect Of
metals, which is that Of destruction o.
the functional activity of the nervous
system.
