The strenath of RinaG.

;. Some elaborate calculations, backed by experiments, have been made to de termine the 'sbreaking strength" of rings. It appears that ring of ductile material like malleable iron will be pulled out into the form of a long link before it breaks aad that the ultimate strength of the ring is virtually inde- pendent of its diameter. Fracture finally occurs as, the result of almost pure tension. and the resistance. to breaking is little less than twice that of rod of the same cross section sub jected to a straight pull. As the ring increases in diameter there appears to ebe slight approach toward equality, with double. the strength of bar. Thus three inch ring. made of three quarter inch iron broke at nineteen and one-haifs tons; four inch ring at nineteen and nine-tenths tons and six sincha riRgzat twenty tons, the strength of a bar of the same metal being ten and One-half tons.

Home, being tried on an indictment
charging him with criminally assault
ing three little girls, inmates of the

fought stubbornly In an effort to break
down the evidence of the girls testi-
mony. Attorneys for both sides
agreed to let Vaughn confess in an
effort to save his life, but without
avail. Vaughn was found guilty with
capital punishment. The judge and
many Jurors wept when the man con-
fessed. The jury made no recon-
