STRENGTH OF WOOD.
The Pressure Il Took to Break q Beam
Of Douglas Fir.

The Pressure Il Took to Break = Beam
Of Douglas Fir.
A piece OF Douglas hr, III feet long
and 10 by 3 inches In cross section,
stood a pressure Of SS,40O pounds be-
fore breaking at the test conducted In
the engineering laboratory Of the Uni
versity Of Washington by Q. W, Elm.
mermann Of tho United States forest
service.
The experiment was a demonstration
Of the standard used by the forest serv.
Ice In testing bridge spans. The beam
was held BY 4 fifteen foot support, and
the load was concentrated at two
points i've feet from each end Of the
beam. As pressure was applied the
beam continued to bend until the point
Of maximum DETECTION was reached.
Measurements were then taken, and II
was found that the beam had bent 2,Sb
inches under the pressure OF m,0W
pounds, This occurred two minutes
after the test started.
Eight minutes later, after 5S,aOO
pounds Of additional weight had been
>added, the beam broke. During this
time there was no further DETECTION Of
the piece. Mr.. Zimmerman explained
that tho small tlbers of tho wood were
continually giving way under the pres
sure, and at the end of eight minutes
the beam, sufficiently weakened, snap
ped suddenly.

When he was warned by Lebel that Jeanne was not . woman of quality, nor even married, the King merely exclaimed; tsLset a husband be found for her at oncel' Du Barry was at loss. He himself was a mar ried man, but he had a brother, Guil- laume. A marriage contract was secured and the ceremony with Guillame was performed September l, 176s, at the Church of Saint Laurent. Jeanne left 1t Madame Du Barry. She and her hus- band parted at the church door, and never saw each other again.
 The King never knew of the imposition worked upon him. From this on Jeanne Du Barry ruled the King with consider able more domination than he did his people. Through her influence she was able to remove any persons high in tho government who had lost her good will. There were six years of triumph, c tri- umph such as few women ever enjoyed. Then the King fell . victim of smallpoxy then he died. Then Jeanne had the pal ace gates shut against her. Then came the revolution. Jeanne paid the price of her avariciousness amid the acclaims of an outraged people.

Free Water for sprinkIing

While all the newspapers are calling upon the people to plant gardens and help sustain the United States in case of a serious war and all available sup plies would be needed for the troops, l have a little suggestion to make" said Ed Kleim, a local union worker. T think it would be good Idea for the waterworks company to allow the people water to sprinkle their gardens free of charge
 "The common people will hold up their end of the struggle and corporations should also give their aid. Most all of the people are following the plan to plant a garden on every vacant spot and the thought of an increased water bill will prevent many people from giving the garden their best attention.
 "Of course, this Is only a suggestion. but as long as the people are showing their patriotism. why not the big fel- lows? The majority of the people are having a hard enough time to get along as it is and little help from the water company along this lfne would aid con- siderably"

CUBA AS AN ALLY

tain considerable fleet to patrol these waters, whereas now there will be active and intelligent cooperation on the part of the island authorities.
 Cuba has an area approximating that of the state of Pennsylvania, with population equal to that of Wisconsin. It's greatest length Is 760 miles, while the width varies from 25 to 100 miles It Is traversed by 29Oo miles of railroads, SUD- plemented by 200 miles of electric rail- ways The length of It's cart roads and highways is scarcely moro than half as much as It's railway lines
 Both copper and manganese, extremely valuable in the manufacture of muni- tions, are mined fn considerable quantity in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba, while 4000 workmen are employed in the iron mines which furnish the United States with an average of 5o.O00 tons of ore every month.
 Under the treaty signed July 3, 1903, the United States acquired coaling sta tions in the Bay of Guantanamo on the southeast and Bahia Honda on the north- west at an annual rental of 5000. but with Cuba as an ally instead of neutral the splendid <harbor of Havana, one Of the finest in the world. as we'll as those of Santiago de Cuba, Cienfuegos, Matan- gas, and numerous others will be at our disposal.
 Cuba Is separated from the mainlandS of the United States by the straits on Florida, 100 miles wide. and from Mexico by the Yucatan channel, 13O miles wide.
