Submerged Timber.

The strength of hemlock stick
foot square that had been in water for
almost forty years was recently test
ed in the 600,000-pound testing ma
chine at Rensselaer, Polytechnic insti-
tute at Troy. in New York The tim
Der, which was 16 feet inches long,
had formed part of one of the piers of
the Congress street bridge at Troy.
When the pier broke down after the
food in the spring Of 1913. the timber
was turned over to one of the mate
rial-testing laboratories of the insti-
tute. 1t was kept in the open air
for three months, and then placed in
a dry room for little more than nine
months. When placed in the testing
machine, the calumn failed under a
load Of $4,000 pounds: that is. the
long-submerged wood showed an ulti-
mate strength of 2,670 pounds to the
square inch. In the opinion of Prof.
t. r. Lawson, who conducted the test,
the remarkable strength of this piece
of hemlock seems to show that be-
ing immersed in water for long time
does not decrease the column strength
of timber that is subsequently permit
ted to dry out.-Youth's Companion.
