measures the results. Not long ago. a
sheet OF steel--or steel plate, as II is called
before It is worked into a steam boiler,
water tank. ships hun or what not-was
put into the huge machine that tests steel
to discover how much resistance 1t win
offcr to strain pulling It to pieces The
plate was 90 inches wide and half an inch
thick and the opposite ends were firmly
gripped by the steel jaws Of the testing
apparatus struinipg at It with pulling
force Of 100000 pounds. Measurements or
the stretch OF the plate were being made
by two young men, one measuring from
below, and the other measuring from above
and for convenience resting his elbows on
the taut. drawn steel. il was found that
the readings taken by means Of very SEN
sitive micrometer varied slightly and It
was suggested that the variation might be
due to the weight Of the assistants elbows
II seemed impossible that a heavy steel
plate under such a heavy strain could be
made TO sag appreclably by so slight
weight, and yet the demonstration OF this
fact was even more remarkable. Adjusting
the micrometcr to register an upward bend
ing Of the plate the instructor put his hand
beneath It and pressed upward with one
finger. The bell connected with the micro
meter Immediately stopped ringing, which
showed that although the Mate had been
raised ever so slightly, the detection had
been sufficient to make the electric circuit
and the sensitive apparatus had recorded
the fact.
The micrometer with electric contact VIII
indeed detect a variation of one hundred
thousaudth OF an Inch aud respond to the
additional weight OF mans hand upon a
wooden beam six by eight inches Ia size
already loaded with 600 pounds. By means
OF such appliances, IN tests made upon full
sized material. the constructing engineer
hns during the last few years been sup
piled with exact data for his calculations,
whether he is building mill or a ship,
an engine or an elevator.
In studying the use Of cement for build
ing purposes, the European, especially the
German laboratories, are, so far, well
ahead Of simllur American institutions.
This is known to be largely due TO the
fact that American builders have hitherto
found close at hand an abundant supply
Of wood. stone and brick while In France
aud Germany these materials are not so
available and the use Of cement construc-
ton IS almost universal; not only for walls
aud doors OF buildings but fer monuments
and many sorts OF permanent structures.
Every technical scAool In Germany is study
ing and testing cement construction. The
United States government has already be-
gun Investigations to ascertain the effect
OF heat and cold upon this material, and
Il is probable that the important technical
schools on this side OF the water win soon
turn their attention also 20 the research
work necessary 10 place it in the hands Of
American builders.
