WHY IS A RUIN? ! SCIENCE ASKING
Cornell Chemists Tackle Un.
 usual Problem

Ithaca, N, Y, April 23 CP)--A Cor nell University chemist is endeavor- ing to answer the question: "Why Is q ruin?"
 Dr. E. Nj. Chamot professor of chemical microscopy and last year American Exchange Professor 10 France, Is making an exhaustive study of bricks and stones to de- trrminc inc reason for the clun- bling that sooner or later olertakcS masonry, no matter how stollly it was constructed.
 Convinced that q chemical action Is responsible for the decay Pro- lessor Chamot is examining mater ials taken from various parts ot Europe, These include incrustations from Queens College, Oxford; Nor man walls at Chester, Eng; the Madeleine church at Bezicrs, France, that dates back before 1900; the old Roman acqueducts at Lyon, and from many ancient Roman and Norman structures. In addition ne IS studying bricks removed from modern chimneys after they had started to crumble.
 Professor Chamot wants 10 know why these works, once so stalWart, have fallen into decay. He IS also asking why present-day chimneyS must be repaired so often, especially at the top.
 He has not yet answered his own questions, but q preliminary eNam- ination of his samples has disclosed that similar crystals of decay arc to he found in all whether Roman wall or Cornell chimney. What this condition is, vhcther 't Is produced in ,hc interior of inc brick or stone, eating its way outward, or whether fl forms on the surface and works in. are problems he is seeking to solve.
 Having answered this riddle. Pro- lessor Chamots work will be only half done, for he still will have 10 find a way to stop this ruinous pro- cess, He believes that solution ot tho problem of decay will result in the saving of untold millions in repair bills.
 Experts have asserted that frost was the most important factor In the deterioration of masonry, mod nrn and ancient. Professor chanot dooa not incline toward this oplnlol' His experiments lead him to believe that the specialization process IS the result of g chemical action It ssems probable, in his opinion that chemical disintcgration prepares the way for the more active or violent disintergration by frost in climates or regions where frost prevails; Tor even in places where there is no frost he has found almost as serious a decay in masonry.
 Professor Chamots researches have further shown that the mater ials affected by these crystals arc those exposed 10 dampness rather ,han tlose submersed In water, This is demonstrated particularly well in Venice where the most marked disintegration appears al q certain distance above the water line.
