WOOD LASTS FOR CENTURIES
Oak Buried in Water or Wet Sand Has
Proved to Be Practically In
destructibIe.

Men employed in driving a new gal.
lery in gold mine at Charlotte Plains,
In Victoria, Australia, have made an
astonishing discovery. At depth Of
300 feet below ground they have come
upon pieces Of timber perfectly pre-
served. which have every appearance
OF having been sawed and shaped By
the hand of man.
This timber lies In the bed of an
ancient river now being worked for
gold, and the timber is oak. Now,
oak has the peculiar property of last
Ing for centuries when buried In water
or wet sand. Oak piles have been
taken out from under old wooden
bridges constructed by the Romans,
and found as sound as when they were
put there, nearly 1000 years ago.
Oak, known as bog oak, is found
buried in Irish peat boys, and is per
fectly black, intensely hard, and very
valuable. Just before the worlds war
1t was discovered that the bed of ths
river Moksha, in Russia, for a length
OF over 400 miles, Is simply full OF
magnificent old oak trees bedded in
sand. The river Is shallow, and broad,
and the oak can easily be raised.
Smaller deposits are found in Eng.
land. There is pool In the river
Dart known from time immemorlaI
as Oak pool, in the bottom of which
are masses of fine old oak. The
strange thing is that thereMre no oak
trees near the spot at present.
