wELL-PREsERvED STAKES

Some of the piles in use in Amster- dam are three to four hundred years old. That part which is not in the ground in salt water is often bored by a pile worm near the surface, but is preserved by driving in nails with very large heads, so as to give the pile an iron coating. This coating is then transformed by the water into a layer of rust, which protects the wood from the pile worm. This process must be repeated every fifteen years
