Strenoth Of Ripua.

Some elaborate calculations, backed
by experiments, have been made In
England to determine the breaking
strength Of rings. 1t appears that a
ring Of ductlle metal, like malleable
iron, will be pulled out into the form
Of long link before It breaks and that
the ultimate strength Of the ring Is
virtually independent Of its diameter.
Fracture finally occurs rs the result OF
almost pure tension, and the resistance
to breaking is little less than twice
that Of rod Of the same cross section
subjected to straight pull. As the
ring increases In diameter there ap-
pears to be slight approach toward
equality, with double the strength Of
a bar. Thus three inch ring, made
Of three-quarter inch Iron, broke at
nineteen and one-half tons. four inch
ring at nineteen and nine-tenths tons
and six inch ring at twenty tons, the
strength of bar of the same metal
being ten and one-half tons.

QUESTION OF THAW'S SANITY
Is Debated by Medical Experts In Ha.

animation OF expert medical wit

Harry K Thaw is sane was begun
here late Friday by Thaw's counsel
in the habeas corpus proceedings in
stituted to free him from confinement
at the Matteawan asylum for the
criminal insane.
DIR. George w Jacoby, qualifying an
an expert said that he had exam
ined Thaw twice during his stay AT
Matteawan. He had found Thaw, he
said logical, with good memory and
capable of following an argument
He gave It as his opinion that Thaw
was sane at present.
DIR. Graeme Hammond, another ex.
pert on mental diseases. the last wit
ness of the. session. declared that
Thaw was not a paranoiac and In his
opinion was sane now.
An interesting development OF the
day was the quoted report OF Russell
Peabody. Thaw's counsel, that Thaw
would go on the witness stand.
Experts called by Mr.. Jerome ear

opinion Thaw was an incurable par

ARE SATISFIED
+. WITH RESULTS
CONFERENCE OF THE COVE RN-
oRs OF THE STATES Is
ENDED.
ROOSEVELT AND W. J. BRYAN
Delivered Addresses and a Declara
tIon Promising Cooperation In
Conserving Natural Re-
sources Was Issued.

Washington, May 16.--The first
conference of the governors OF the
states of the American Union ended
Friday. Like many important events
of history, time is needed to reveal
the epoch which the president and
governors believe has been made.
The accomplishment of the confer
ence cannot be set forth with pre-
cision. That Its immediate results
are more than ample is the express
sion of President Roosevelt and of
the governors.
The printed record of the confer
ence, which will later be available to
every American home, will be a com
pilation of facts startling In their
meaning. convincing in their univer-
sal conclusion that the states must
act, and that the states and the ma
ton must cooperate to the end that
to the whole people OF the nation may
accrue the lasting benefit OF its nat
ural resources.
Besides the compilation OF facts by
the experts and the freely expressed
opinion of the governors, the con
ference leaves as its permanent rec
ord a thousand words OF "declara-
ton" Not a declaration OF indie
pendence," but a declaration of CO.
operation"
Perhaps greater in Importance
than all else was the determination
of the governors OF the states to per-
feet a permanent organization where
by an intimacy may be developed
among the executives of the As
states, made strong by a common
purpose and made potent by pro-
nouncements which may not lightly
be disregarded.
President Roosevelt declared him
self emphatically as not caring wheth-
er action for the conservation of re-
sources or the protection OF the rights
OF the people be taken by the states
or by the federal government, so long
as action resulted. William j. Bryan
delivered an address in keeping with
the purposes of the convention which
was most cordially received. Resolu-
tions were adopted by acclamation ex-
pressing regret at the illness of Gro
yer Cleveland
