{ Iowa City. jan. ia discovery
which will save hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars to the cement industry OF
the United States. and which has rem
dered obsolete the present day testing
standards for concrete. has been made
In the engineering laboratories Of the
State University Of Iowa, and 10 de-
scribed in the coming issue OF the En-
cheering News.
The discovery 10 simplicity itself
that certain grades Of concrete are very
much weakened by wetting, and in all
probability this accounts for the large
percentage Of failures OF cement drain
tile. Cement tile are made with very
dry mortar. leaving them quite porous,
and laboratory tests in the university
iconclusively show that mortars mixed
and cured in the way that cement tile
are mixed and cured lose from 40 to As
|per cent Of their strength when i'm
mersed In water. For this reason they
break under q load Of earth which pre-
vious tests showed they should with
stand, the running water of the drain
weakening them. It 10 surprising that
this discovery should never have been
made before, yet no more surprising
than that the effect of expansion and
on concrete should have
been recent discovery in other lab
oratories.
Discovery BY Professor Woodward.
The probability Of this theory Of con-
crete weakening was first developed by
Prof. s. NJ. Woodward Of the depart
ment Of mechanics. Tests developing
the theory were carried out by F. c.
Young, Instructor in civil engineering.
4. yet the department has made only
q limited number of tests, but is pro-
ceeding to make further tests to find
the effect Of different kinds Of sands,
stone and gravel. Of different proper
lions Of cement to sand and stone. OF
different degrees Of wetness in MAX
ing the mortar. and Of different meth
DDS of curing.
The department suggests that until
further experiments are made. manu-
facturers should make all cement drain
tile as dense az possible. and make all
tests on wet tile.

polished natives ever seen in public
life. He dressed wen and he could
express himself in excellent English,
but according to this story he was
somewhat inpecunious in DR.. Hutch

lated that he borrowed a few simole-
ons from his English friend, then
minister of the interior. DR.. Hutch
inson had been on an official visit
to one of the. other islands and was
just stepping upon the wharf when
he was effusively greeted by Mr..

Among the stories told about Dr.
Hutchinson, the man who put Rev
Mr.. Mason of New. Zealand on TO
water diyining, I remember two that
were told me by kamaaina who has

DIR. Hutchinson thought it unwisa
on the part of Bishop Staley to pro-
coed with the organization of the
Anglican church in Hawaii, and when
Mr., Staley was leaving for England
to. seek ducats and dedication the
doctor advised him not to come back
But he did come back after a few
moons, and as he was coming down
the gangway mis- eye lighted ON his
bluff old English friend.
"Oh, how 90 yeu do, Doctor Hut
Crimson" the prelate gurgled, extend
ing his flipper. i...
You have the advantage. of me"
freezingly returned the doctor as he
backed a pace.
Why. Doctor Hutchinson, you
know me. surely-rm Bishop Staley,
just returning from England" go
Huh, Bishop Staley-I told you
not to came back" growled the doctor
as he turned away.
