Several speakers. including the Rev.

Of the concealed metallic members
The whole theory OF metallic cOrrO-
sion is under investigation, and il pre-
sents some strange, and apparently
contradictory phenomena In some
cases iron. steel and other metals yield
with surprising rapidly TO the dlsinte-
grating Influences while IN other cases
they exhibit equally surprising powers
Of resistance. Iron used in construc-
ton thousands Of years agO has some
times been found almost intact. and,
on the other hand. the same metal en-
plOyed in modern constructions has
been dangerously affected within few
years
A Curious Fact.
A curious fact which has recently
come TO light is that the presencd Of
a little copper in iron often renders
the metal singularly resistant TO cor
rosiOn. At Newburyport, Mass. some
of the links constituting the ca Dles or
a suspension bridge erected a hun
bred wears agO were found to be great
" cOrrOded. while other links IN the
same chain were scarcely affected EN-
animation showed that the links
which had escaped cOrrOsiOn contained
a little copper. Various alloys exhibit
different powers OF resistance. some
giving greater strength or tOughneSs
and others presenting greater powers
Of resistance in cOrrOsiOn.
But the discovery that electric action
is responsible for the worst effects Of
corrOsiOu puts the matter in a new
light and may lead to a solution OF
the problem It is a curious thought
that In bending the vast energy Of
electricity to his purposes. man has
endangered some Of the things most
useful to him. He has let loose mys-
teriOus forces which tend TO shorten
the life Of metals upon whose long con-
tinuance much Of his greatest work de-
ponds.

( ing a more successful battle agains st
the elements than they were able to do
I against a human enemy. recalls the
problem with which science Is now
dealing, of still further prOlOnging the
life of metals. The constantly grow
ing use Of iron and Nsteel. and their
various alloys, in constructions of all
kinds renders this problem one Of the
most important of modern times.
A Destructive Force.
Covered with barnacles and washed
by the pure ocean water, the Niscaya
and the OqUendo have escaped some of
the most destructive forces to which
metallic constructions are subjected in
other situations The great enemy of
metals is corrOsiOn, and recent investi-
cations have led TO the conclusion that
this is mainly due 10 electro-chemical
action. II has been proved that stray
underground currents from electric
railways exercise a powerful effect in
dislntegra ting metals which lie in their
way. These wandering currents are
very insidiOus, and sometimes they
stray far from their origin, in Unex-
pected WAYS. AS the use Of electric
power spreads the danger is accentu-
.ated.
The huge skyscrapers OF today are
all built upon a metallic skeleton, and
the question of protecting their steel
ribs from cOrrosion is OF primary i'm
pOrtance. tt was once thought that
imbedding iron and steel in concrete
furnished a perfect means of prOtec-
tion, but that conclusion is now seri--
ously questioned. IN 1910 a notable IN
stance occurred of the destruction OF
the metallic members of the reinforced
concrete building by electrolytic cOrrO-
sion. some authorities unhesitatingly
declare that concrete is not an infal-
lible protection to imbedded iron and
steel. Under the influence Of a moist
atmosphere electric currents appear to
be capable Of penetrating the wet con-
crete thus reaching the metal beneath
with disastrous effects An instance
