Fstion. Signor Faelli has found out a
means of effectively preventing crystal
lization, and one, he says, which is just
as applicable to sky-scrapers as t.
bridges or ordinary machinery.
The subject had engaged his atten-
ton while he was yet in this country
but it was only on his native soil thai
he was able to devote that study to il
which has finally resulted in success.
"Tired'' Bridges Collapse.
4 bridge at Setro Ponente, about ter
miles to the north of Genoa, collapsed
on three different occasions within q
dozen years. Another bridge near Pavia
had only just been constructed and was
being tested when it snapped in the
middle and nearly 200 persons ran the
risk of being drowned. Both We're
metal bridges, into the construction OF
which steel supports largely entered.
Over the former bridge a heavy rail-
road traffic daily passed, and the latter
was parellel and quite close To q stone
bridge used extensively for good strains
Signor Faelli's reasoning was tglat
crystallization of the steel had begun
in both cases, and that, at least in part
it must have been due to the shock OF
vibration due to the great railroad traf-
fic. On this hypothesis he started tc

ton and the remedy that might be APP
piled to it.
Steel" argued the engineer, lies OBJ
viously on tine borderland of crystalli-
cation 1t is, however, the metal which
from its wonderful quality of tenacity
is most applicable to the general run
of metallic structures. That very ten
acity is mainly due to a slight admix-
ture of carbon. And the action of the
carbon can only be to change the ordi-
nary molecular structure of the original
iron. The effect of vibration conse>
quently can only DE to disturb the MOLE
cular arrangement produced by the
carbon. The property of tenacity is then
lost, and the result is the new dispo-
sition of the atoms is termed by us
disqualification"
How He Began to Search.
The Italian engineer started his re-
searches by endeavoTing to find some
thing which by admixture with cruel
BILE iron would prevent oxydation. On
this he has had much success. He
hopes to take out patents on his dis
coveries in the matter, and is conse-
quently not yet ready to make it pub
lie
But the subject Wherein he has
achieved a veritable triumph, and
which is now for the first time pub
lished in the present article. namely
the solution of the mystery of crystal
lization, was due at the outset to 6
mere accident. -
