the Armenian and Persian villages round about

DRY WOOD STRONGER THAN MOIST.

The forest service has been making exhsusttvs
Investigations regarding the effects Of mo1srure
upon the strength Of wood It has been found
that the relation OF moisture 70 strength follows
definite law. The strength OF all kinds OF wood
increases rapidly with proper drying the amount
OF increase depending the species and Ihe de-
gree Of drYnesS Thus the strength or a piece OF
unseasoned red spruce may be increased over 400
per cent by a thorough drying at the Temperature
Of boiling water But the strength decreases
again as soon as the wood reabsOrbs moisture
Air-dried wood protected from the weather and
containing II per cent of moisture IS, according
to species. II TO "a times stronger than when
green -.
These conclusions have been drawn from pieces OF
small cross section, not exceeding BY inches
Large timber requires years of drying before rhs
moisture is reduced TO the point at which the
strength begins TO increase 1t has been found
that, under normal conditions, wood fibre VIII
absorb a definite amount of moisture Additional
water only fills the pores II has also been found
that the water which simply hlls the pores has
no effect the strength Timber that has been
dried and resoaked is slightly weaker than when
green-The Pathfinder.

sciences NAV be entirely overlooked. It will, I
believe, come great surprise to many people
to learn that among the sciences neglected In
this country mathematics probably occupies
the foremost place. There appears to be wide
spread popular belief that science is one thing
and mathematics is something quite different,
and 1t will be asked how can IL be possible 10
say that mathematics is neglected in England
when a subject bearing that name forms large
portion of the curriculum Of every school in the
country?
The deplorable position which Great Britain
at present occupies in the mathematical world
is the outcome of causes which have been at
work for a considerable time, and the gravity
OF the situation which has thus arisen is so
serious that effort must be spared to en-
tighten the public the subject of Englands

that this neglect may involve.
There are few people in this country whose
knowledge of mathematics extends beyond what
may be described as school mathematics" and
n1athematicfans are so overwhelmed by the
magnitude Of the work which lies before them
that 1t is rarely possible for them to take any
steps to arouse popular interest In their sub
iect ConseuuentIv If the question is asked,
What is the use Of Mathematics" ninety-nine
persons out of every hundred will probably re-
ply that mathematics is Of no use IN Itself, but
that its study affords excellent mental train
ing in developing the brain.
The most singular feature of the whole thing
is that nowhere has the apathy toward mathe-
matical research been more marked than IN the
university and smaller colleges Of Cambridge
itself Outside one or centres OF enlighten-
ment, Cambridge mathematics Is entirely dom
mated by Part I Instead Of writing original
papers the college tutors spend their time in
worrying out tricky examination questions quite
unsuitable for setting in paper OF ten or twelve
questions to be answered in three hours The
loss of time involved in such a system is enor-
mons The time wasted by the teacher in in
venting these problems could be utilized Tor the
purposes of research, and the time wasted by
the student in learning TO solve them would
enable him to attend several courses of pro
fessorial lectures on higher mathematics similar
TO those given in the German universities-G.
