They were to be got in- to the river at a specified time, but the big strike rendered it impossible for the firm to ful- fil their contract except in part.

But they were two inches thick, and were bumettized before laying, which process does not seem to afford any certain protection from decay, though it seasons the wood by driv- ing out the sap, and makes it less liable to the same amount of shrinkage. With elm, again, there is not the same danger of decay from a damp bed as there is with other wood. They should be laid, nevertheless, in a waterproof composition, so as not cause the wood to swell in the laying and shrink in the drying. The floor above alluded to has been kept in a fine condition by rubbing with wax and turpentine, an
