MOISTURE IN WOOD.

The effect OF water IN soften
ing organic tissue, as IN wettlng
a piece OF paper or sponge, is
we'll known, and so is the st1tfen-
ing effect of drying, The same
law applies TO wood. By differ
ent methods of seasoning two
pieces of the same stick may be
given very different degrees OF
strength.
Wood in its green state con-
tains moisture in the pores OF
tee cells, like honey in a comb,
and also IN the substance OF the
cells. AS seasoning begins, the
moisture in the pores is first
ev.porated. This lessons the
weight of the wood, but does
not affect its strength. It's not
until the moisture in the sub
stance OF the cell walls is drawn
up that the strength of the wood
begins to increase. Sclentlh-
caIIy, this point is known as the
"hber- -saturatlon point. From
this condition to that of absolute
dryness the gain in the strength
OF wood is somewhat remarkable.
In the case OF spruce the
strength is multiplied tour
times; indeed, spruce, in small
size, thoroughly dried in an
oven, is as strong, weight for
weight, as steel. Even after
the reabsorptlon of moisture,
when the wood is again exposed
to the air the strength of the
sticks is still from So to go per
cent greater than when it was
green. When, in drying, the
er-saturtion point is passed,
the strength Of wood increases
as drying progresses, in accor-
dance with a definite law, and
this law can be used to calculate
from the strength of stick at
one degree of moisture what its
strength will be at any other
degree.
Manufacturers, engineers, and
builders need to know not only
the strength but the weakness
of the materials they use, and
for this reason they are quite as
much interested in knowing
how timbers are affected by
moisture as they are in knowing
how they are weakened by
knots, checks, cross-grain, and
other defects. 1t is obvious
that where timbers are certain
to weakened by excessive mols-
ture they will have to be used
in larger sizes, for safety. SO
far, engineers of timber tests,
while showing that small pieces
gained greatly in strength, do
not advise counting on the same
results in the seasoning of large
timbers, owing to the fact that
the large tlmbers usually found
in the market have defects which
are sure to oounterbalance the
gain from seasoning.
The Forest Service has Just
issued a publication entitled
"The Strength of Wood as In
Auenced by Moisture, in which
are shown the strength of re-
preventative woods in all the
drgrees of moisture from the
green state to absolute dryness,
and the effects of resoaking.
This publication will be sent
free upon application to the
