the Congress street bridge at Troy.
When the pier broke down after the
food in the spring of 1918, 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 1870 pounds to the
square inch. In the opinion of Prof.
T. R. Lawson, who conducted the test,
the remarkable strength of this piece

on end, and the hoed ground was un-

The young man looked upa and waved
languid greeting. He did not remove
his hat or descend from his place of
rest, and Sally. who expected no such
attention, came smilingly on. Samson
was her hero. Slow of utterance and
diffident with the stranger, words now
came fast and fluently as she told her
story of the man who lay hurt at the
foot of the rock.
