Some claim that it is a modification
Of the English symbol (s) for the
pound. Another explanation is that it
came from the letters U. s. written

theory is that the two upright marks
represent two pillars of brass before
the temple Of Solomon, which early APP

ENGLISH OAK MOST DURABLE
Specimens Of II Have Been Known to
Survive In Good Preservation for
Centuries.

The durability of English oak is the
greatest of any known forest timber
discoveries having been made that 1t
is preserved almost as we'll under
water through, centuries as 1t is when
shielded by roofs in ancient castles.
Professor Burnett of London pos
sessed a piece of English oak from
King Johns palace at Ethan, per-
fectly sound and strong, which can be
traced back for more than five hun
dred years. The oaken shrine of Ed
ward the Confessor is more than eight
hundred years old. One of the oaken
coronation chairs in Westminster alb
hey has been there for more than hVs
centuries.
In Gloucester cathedral there are
thirty-one stalls of rich tabernacle
work executed in oak In the reign OF
Edward III, and beautifully perfect.
When the foundations OF the old Savoy
palace in London, built 700 years,
previously. were torn down, the plies
many OF which were OF oak, were
found In a state of perfect soundness.
A vessel, found In the river Rother, In
Kent. said to date back to the time OF
King Alfred, was found to be sound
despite the fact that its oaken keel
had been buried in the mud. An oak
boat was found near Brigg in an al
most perfect condition, despite the
