Sir : I have the honor herewith to submit for publication a " Progress Eeport" on investigations undertaken by this Division into tlie nature of our important woods, being the second of a series of bulletins on Timber Physics. It contains the results of tests for strength made on the long-leaf pine collected in Alabama and a comparative study by Prof. J. B. Johnson of the various exhibi- tions of strength as related to each other and as dependent on certain conditions of the test specimens. I woiUd call especial attention to the comparison of bled and unbled timber, which is accom- panied by a study into the chemical conditions of this timber by Mr. M. Gomberg. An account of the general characteristics of the timber of long-leaf pine and of the geographical distribution of the species and a brief recapitulation of the methods pursued in this work are added. Respectfully, B. E. Fernow, Chief. Hon. J. M. Rttsk, Secretary. m TABLE OF CONTENTS. Introductory. By B. E.

The progress report liercwitli presented on the work of timlier investigations is published iu less complete form than had been eontciuplated, in order to avoid longer delay in brini;ing resnlts before tlie public. The delay is occasioned by inadequate apiJiopriiitions for the work; and since the work is now to be stopped entirely for lack of funds, it was thought best to publish what lesultswere in such shape as to present valuable information. The data contained in the report refer altogether to the timber of long-leaf pine (1'. palustris) from Alabama, being the results of mechanical tests obtained in the test laboratory under direc- tion of Prof. J. B. John.son at St. Louis. These data refer to over 2,(t()0 tests on material furnished by twenty-six trees collected from fonr different sites by Dr. Cliarles Molir. These tests inay be said to represent fairly well the range of strengtli pertaining to the species, unless unexpected differences are found in the material collected from other climatic sta- tions. Such material has been collected from Louisiana and Texas, but the hick of funds mentioned before has prevented its utilization for this report.

It is to be understood that tliis di,scussiou refers only to the species in hand, and does not arogress could not have been as rai)id. Eegarding the methods used in analyzing and comparing the results of tests, we are indebted to Mr. William Kent, C. e., for valuable suggestions. The idea of the "average quality" is his own. This, to be sure, does not pretend to be an expression of actual quality, but serves the useful purpose of a practicable ba.#is for arrangement of material for comparison. On the whole, the niethods of handling the very large amount of data from mechanical and physical examinations for comparative study have not yet been fully matured and determined upon. It is contemplated, wlieu work can be resumed, to study as a separate series tlie influence of various methods of seasoning upon quality, besides extending the mechanical tests to a number of important species tlnit are still imperfectly known in their properties, like the Douglas spruce and the bald cypress. The work will jnogress and results be published in jiroportion to the funds approi)riated for the investigations. B. E. Feenow. MIXHANICAL Tl^SlS MADE AT WASHINGTON^ UNIVHRSITY ST. LOUIS. !lO HSTING LABORATORY, Writtou by Prof. J. I(. John.son (reiiriiiti-d with corrections from liiillctiu 6) SAWING, STOltlNtx, AND SEASONING. On arrival of the logs iu St. Louis they were, sent to a sawmill and cut into sticks, as shown in Figs^ 1 to i. In all cases tlie arrangements shown in Figs. 1 and 2 were used, except when a detailed study of the tind)er iu all parts of the cross-section of the log was intended. A few of the ino.st perfect logs of each species were cut up into small sticks, as shown iu Figs. 3 and 1. The l(jgs tested for determining the effects of extracting the turi)entine from the Southern pitch ])ines were all cut into small sticks. In all cases a " small stick" is nominally 4 inches square, l)ut when dressed down for testing may be as small as Si inches square. The "large sticks" vary from 0 by 12 to 8 by 1(5 inches in cross-secti dies with three nund)ers, as for instance thus: -', which 4 signifies that this stick was number 4, in log .;, of tree 25. A facsimile of the stenciling was re ' corded in the log book, and the sticks there minibcred to correspond with tlie numbering on the logs: After sawing, each stick can be identilied and its exact origin determined. These three numbers, then, become the identification marks for all specimens cut from this stick, and they acconqiany the results of tests in all the records. After sawing, the timbers were stored in the laboiatory until they were tested. The "green tests" were made usually within two months after sawing, while the "dry tests" were made at various subse(iuent tim(>s. One end (nv gearing.* The beam to be tested rests on pivots at the ends, ])laced on t()|( of the base beam, and the upper crossheail is moved down by meansof tli<^ gearini; until the central pivot attached to it conies in contact with tlie beam, or rather with the distribution blocks placed on the beam at this point. Theteet then begins, the power originating In a double jilungcr jiunip, operated by hand or by steam jiowcr in another part of the room. To prevent the jiivots or "knife-edges" from crushing into the timber, it is necessary to make the contact at liofh ends and center, first upon a cast-iron plate, then through longer wooden blocks to the timber. The center block is curved somewhat on the lower side, to allow for a con- sidei'able deflection in the beam when iiearing its maximum load. In the tests of all beams, both large and small, the load is put on at the same uniform rate, so as to eliminate the time eftect, w hich is very great in timber tests. The losid on the small beams is increased at such a rate as to iiroduce an increase in the deflection of one-eighth inch |)er minute without any jiause until rupture occurs. This causes rupture in from ten to fifteen minutes time. The load is read off when it ri^aches certain even amounts, and an observer notes the cor- responding detleittion without stopping the test. The time required for the large beam tests is about the same, the deflection rate being greater when the total dellection is expected to be greater, as is the case with I by S inch sticks 12 feet long. The dellections of the large beams are observed upon a jiolished metallic scale, graduated to inches and tenths, which is tacked to one side of the stick at the center. A tine thread is stretched, by means of a ruliber band, over nails driven into the side of the stick above the end supports on the line of the neutral axis. This string or thread is moved about an inch away from the surface of the timber, and nil parallax, or error of reading from an oblicjue position of the eye, is avoided by keeping the eye where the thread and its image in the metallic mirror coincide and form one and the same line. The read ings are taken to iiu'hes and liundre(ltlis by estimating the tenths of the graduation spaces on the scale. The loads are weighed oxi the hirge universal testing machine in another i)art of the room. This is done by liaviug both machines connected up to the same ])nni]), liiocking the weighing machine so that the load on its plunger is transmitted to the scales and weigiiing beam, and then l)umping into both machines. The plungers are of exactly the same diameter; they have similar leather cup jtacking, and hence the error of this method is simi)ly the ditterence in the friction of the two plungers in their packing rings. To test tlu^ accuracy of this method, and to deteiiuine the error, if any, at auy time, a nest of calibrating sjjrings (shown on Plate ii) was made and tested first on the Emery machine at the United States Arsenal, at Watertowu, Mass. The loads were found which corresiionded to given detiections, or in other words the stress diagram of these springs up to a 30,00l>-pound load, which correspoiiils to a little more than one inch elastic detlec- tion. By repeating this test on Hie l()(),Oii()-ponnd universal or weighing machine, and then on the large beam inachine, and plotting the stress diagrams obtained from each, not only can these machines be compared with each other, but both can be com]tared or calibrated with tiie lunery machine at the Watertowu Arsenal. In Fig. 5 the three curves corres])onding to the three machines are given. Tlu;^y are so nearly coincident that it is sliown tiiat not only is the universal l(H».(t(K> pound lliehle uuichine correctly ]"i(i BcHoction in incln-a. -StaiHl:iri1izinounds.

  • rs of this machine are made of four long-leaf yellow pine sticks {Finm jialii.strus), from (ieorgia, eacli 8 by 12 inches and 45 feet long. The power is applied by the same hydraulic pump, which operates 8 botli the large beam machine and the 100,000-i>oiincl universal machine. The hiads are weighed on this latter machine the same as for the beam tests. Tlie plunger in the column machine hasjust ten times the area of that in the weighing machine, and hence the loads in the column tests are just ten times those indicated on the weighing beam. The tail block is of cast iron, rest iug in a spherical socket, which is carried on a.car and which can be held by struts resting in slots in the timber. The outer ends of these struts are kejit from spreading by means of tiebars, as shown, and the whole combination can be moved forward or back, so as to malvc the distance be- tween face plates any even number of feet from two to thirty-six. The spherical s i.-kct in the tail block will produce an accurate adjustment of the end bearings at the beginning of the test, but after the load is on it is thought tluvt this joint will remain rigid, the same as a solid block, espe- cially if precautious are taken to increase the frictional resistance between these bearing surfaces. This spherical socket is provided to eliminate the effects of unequal shrinkage in the side timbers or any unequal comjnession in the bearing sockets, and not to serve as a round-end bearing for tlie column.

It is placed next to the <;olumii of " Loads" for convenience in ijlotting the strain diagram, which is done on the ruled squares at the bottom ot each sheet. These i)lotted results fall in all cases on a true curve, similar to the one shown above. The total area of tJiis curve 0. D. E., properly evaluated by the scales used, represents the total nnmber of foot-pounds or inch-[)ounds of work done upon the stick before rupture occurred. This is called tlie Total Gross-brraliiH) Resilience of the stick, and when divided by the volume of the stick in cubic iuclies it givers appnjximately the total cross-breaking resilience of the stick in incii- pounds per cubic inch of timber. (Fig. G.) A better criterion of toughness, or resistance to shock, is some detinite i)ortion of this strain diagram area, as O P K, for example. This amount of resilience or spring can be used over and over again, and is a true measure of the toughness of tin; timber as a working fpiality. To locate the point 1', the following arbitrary rule has been followed. Draw a tangent to the curve at the origin, as O A. Lay oft' A G=iB A and draw O C. Draw m » parallel to O G ami tangent to the curve. Take the point of tangency as the point P and draw P K. The area 0 P K is then called the Belutivc Elastio Resilience.* There is no "elastic limit " in timber as there is in rolled metals. In this respect it is like cast iron. The point V is the point where the rate of deflection is 50 per cent more than it is at first, and usually falls on that part of the curve where it begins to change rapidly into a horizontal direction or where the deflection begins to increase rapidly. The areas of these curves are nunis- nred with a iilanimeter aiul reduced to inch-pounds. Thus, if 1 inch vertically represents o,0()0 |)ounds and 1 inch horizont;dly reiireseiits 1 inch deflection, then 1 s(|uare inch represents .'),0(H)x ! =."),000 inch-pounds. If the area 0 P K is 1.73 square inches, then the corresponding resilience is S,C."iO inch-i)ounds. This mealis that a weight of 100 pounds, falling 86.0 inches, or 1,000 pounds lalling S.d,-) inches, would have strained the l>eani up to the point P or it would lia\-e deflected it l.fiG inches, and the b<'a-m would have been then resisting with a force of 10,000 jjounds, since /' falls on the iO,000-poun(l line. If this result — 8,0.")0 inch-pounds — be divided by tlic numbeiof ' This term lias been eoiiieil to deliiie this )iarticular portion of the resilience which will hr used fur cumpariug the relative elasticity or toughness of dift'erent timbers. 14.-,(lO_No."8 2 10 cubic inches in the stick between end bearings, the result is the true Relafirc Resilience in Croftif- bnakiny in inch pounds per cubic inch. Tiiis result is independent of the dimensions of the test si)ecimen and is therefore a true measure of the quality of timber which is usually known as toughness. It depends, as toughness in the usual undeistanding does, on both the strength and the deflection; in fact, it is very nearly the halt' product of the strength developed and the detle<' tion produced at this particular point P. It is probably the nearest quantitative measure of tlie toughness that can be arrived at. The modulus of rupture is computed by the ordimiry formula — •^ jibli'- . . . (^) where /=modulus of rupture in pounds jier sijuare inch, ir=load at center in ponnds, /=length of Ijeam in inches, ft=breadth of beam in inches, /t=height of beam in inches. In green timber, where tlie crushing strength is greatly I'cduced by the presence of the sap, the crushing resistance is only about one-third as much as the resistance to tension, so that the stick invariably begins to fail on the compression side. This causes the neutral jd.ane or plane of no stress to be lowered, and at the time of linal rnptnre.this plane may be from one fourth to one- sixth the depth from the bottom side of the beam. The value of/ computed by this I'ormula from a cross-breaking test, therefore, will always be intermediate between the crushing strength and the strength in tension. Thus the crashing strength of a given stick was found to be 5,820 jiounds per square inch, wJule tlie tensile strength was l.'»,7S() jiounds; the cross-breaking strength was found by this test to be 10,900 i)ounds. The modulus of strength at the elastic limit is found in tlie same manner as the above, except that for l)reaking load is taken the load at tlie i)oint 7', d(>scribed abov(% this being called the "elastic limit," although strictly speaking tindjer is not perfectly elastic for any load if left on any great length of time. The modulus of elasticifi/ is computed from the formula — ,,_ 117' _ WP _ W I' ■ " 4H 1) I 4l)bh^ l)-4b¥ . . . . \) where E = modulus of elasticity, and ^^^' '' ''' '^"^^ ''■ "^ '" ^'^- (-^^ D = detlection of beam. 1 = moment of inertia of the cross-section = ^^b h^ for rectangular sections. To find this modulus, a tangent line is drawn to the strain diagram at its origin, as O ^l, and the cocinlinates of any point on this line used as the IT and /> (.V(>'n which to compute E. The modulus is thus seen to vary directly as the load and inversely as tlie deflection; hence it is a true measure of the stiffness of the material. It is the most constant and reliable property ot all kinds of engineering materials* annblic resoids of tests, must be exjilained liy erroneous methods of testing. t See PI.

The algebraic expression ot the hiw shown by tliis line, rendered into pounds per square ineh, is, in round numbers — Cross-breaking strengtli = 0.0045 Modulus of Elastieity + 450. (3) If it should be found that there is such a law for all kinds of tindier, then there nuiy lie derived !in equation of this form, but with different constants, for each species. Relation heticeen strength and ireiyht. In Fig. 8 is shown the relation between the crushing strength and the specific gravity, when both are reduced to the standard percentage of moisture, which was taken at 15 pev cent. These results are also taken from Professor Bauschinger's published records of tests on i)ine, larch, and lir tindjers, and they conchn-ively show that the greater the weight the greater the strength of the timber. The law here is a well defined one, so far as these timbers are concerned. When rendered into English units (iwunds per sq. in.), the eciuation of this line is: Crushing strength = 13800 specific gravity — 900. (4) when the tiiiilier contains but 15 per ce7it of moisture. This equation would also vaiy in its con- stants for each species of timber. Relation heticeen the compressire strength ami the pereentage of moisture. In Fig. 9 are plotted some very careful tests by Prof. Bauschinger to show the relation between the percentage of moisture and the crushing strength. There is no question but the crushing and the shearing strength are both greatly reduced by moisture. The crushing test also gives a very fair indication of the strength of the timber in all other ways. In this instance four sticks were taken and sections tested first green, or having an average of 37 per cent of moisture when coTiiputcd on the wet weight, or 59 per cent of moisture when conq)uted on the diy weight, as is the practice in the tests made by this Depaitincnt. The sticks were then dried until there was an average of 14.0 per cent moisture on the wet weight or 17 per cent of the dry weight. The remaining portions of the sticks were further syasoned until there remained but 8.2 per cent moisture C((mputed on the wet weight, or 9 per cent moisture on the dry weight, and then tested. This is a smaller percentage of moisture than out-door lumber ever reaches, as the ordinary humidity of the external aii- will usually maintain at least 10 per cent of moisture in all kinds of timber. When these three groups of results are plotted, and the most probable curve drawn tlirough them, there is seen to be a remarkable increase in the crushing strength when the percentage of moisture falls below fifteen or twenty. The variation in strength abt>ve that Ihnit is very small. Prof. Bauschinger has published a great many such curves, all showing the same general law. This curve illustrates the necessity for finding the percentage of moisture for every test of strength made. Prof. Bauschinger has published very few tests showing the relations between the cross- breaking strength and the moisture, but Fig. lOisa reproducticm of such results as he has given. "When the percentage of moisture sinks as low as 10 there appears a wide variation t)f strength, not satisfactorily explained. There wivision of Forestry for 1891.] There are in the Soiit hcni Athiiitic and Gulf States ten species of pine which are or can be cut into lumber. Two of these, llie wliite jiine (7'/«».v Sfrohii.s L.) and the pitch-pine, also called yellow oi- l)]a(k pine (Z'/h».s- riyida iNIill.) occur only in small bodies on the Allegheny Mountains from Virginia down to northern Georgia, being rather Northern pines. Three, the Jersey or scrub- pine, occasii nally also called shortleaf or spruce-pine {I'inus rm/v/ifrtHft Mill.) along the coast to iSouth Carolina; the sand, scrub, or s^irucc-pine \riinis chuisa (Engelui.) Sarg.], found in a few localities in Florida, and the poinl, also called loblolly or Savannah pine (Pimis serotina Mx.) along the coast from North Carolina down to Florida, occur either so sparingly that they do not cut any tigure on the lumber nnirkct or do not often produce sizable trees for sawlogs. There remain, then, five distinctly Southern species which are actually cut for lumber; one of these, the spruce-pine, also called cedar pine or white pine (P/hm* (//rt&rrt Walt.), probably does not reach the market excejit by accident. But the other four may be found now in all the leading markets of the East. There exists considerable confusion among architects, builders, engineers, as well as dealers in lumber and lumbermen themselves, as to the identity of these species and their lumber. The confusion arises mainly from an indiscriminate use of local names and from ignorance as to the differences in characteristics of their lumber as well as the diiiiculty in desci'ibing these. Besides the names used in designating different species, there are names used by lumbermen to designate ditlercnccs of quality in the same species and, in addition, names used in the markets without good distinction, until it becomes almost imiiossible to unravel the multiplicity of desig- nations and define their meaning. Architects are apt to specify "Southern pine," not knowing that the greatest range of qualities can be supplied under that name; or refuse to accept "Texas" or "North Carolimi pine" for '-Georgia pine," although the same pine and quality can be furnished from either State. . Dealers handle "long-leaf pine" i'rom Arkansas, where the timber that is understood by that name never grew. Millmen fill their orders for this pine, either overlooking differences or without knowing them. The table (page lo) of common names, which have been found applied to the four species fur- nishing Southern iiinc lumber, will most readily exhibit the difficulty arising from misapprehen- sion of names. These names are used in the various markets and in various localities in the home of the trees. Where possible the locality in which the name is used has been placed in brackets by the side of the name, MARKET NAMES. The various names under which Southern pine lumber appears in the market are either general or specific: the former being more or less geneial in application to lumber manuiactuied in the South, without reference to special localities, the latter referring to special localities from which the Inmber is actually or presumably derived.

The uninitiated may not understand that the various kinds of ])ine himbcr manufactured in different States, although called by a specific name, may, after all, be of the same species and the same in all respects. ^'Florida long-leaved yellow ]>ine" or "Florida pine," is in no way difterciit from that cut and nmnnfa-t^tured in Georgia under the distinctive name of "Georgia long-lea vcd yellow pine," or " Georgia pine." The question as to any difference of quality dependent upon locality ol'gi-owth is as yet undecided. The market names given to the varions pines, uncertain as to their precise application in the minds of those that use them, or at least at variance with the conception of other authorities, are the following: G^ewcraV.— Yellow pine, Southern yellow pine. Southern pine, long-leaved yellow pine, long- leaved i>ine, hard pine, pitch-i)ine. AS;/;r(v>'r.— Virginia yellow pine, Virginia pine, North Carolina yellow pine, North Carolina ])ine, Getngia yellow pine, Georgia pitch-]>ine, Georgia pine, Georgia longleaf yellow, Georgia long-leaved pine, Florida yellow pine, Florida pine, Florida long-leaved pine, Texas yellow pine, Texas long-leaved pine. The names "yellow pine," "Southern pine," seem first of all to be used as generic names, without distinction as to sjiecies. In the quotations from Western markets only ^'yellow pine" and "long leaved yellow pine," or "long-leaved pine"ai;4J distinguished; the first name seemingly being now always used when "short- leaf" is meant, although it is also applied by advertisers from the long-leaf-pine region to their product. In a market report of a leading lumber Jimrnal we find that "in the yelIow-i)inc line, long-leaf, short-leaf, and curly pine can be bought,'' which would show that the attempt to distinguish the two kinds by their proper names is made. Curly ])ine, however, is in most cases long-leaf pine with a wavy or curly grain, a sort which is also found in the short-leaf species. Loblolly seems not to be quoted in the Western markets Formerly, while the long-leaf pine was the only pine reaching the markets, it was commonly known under the name of "yellow pine," but now the supply under this name may be made up of 16 all the species indisciimiiKitely. In Texas and Louisiana "yellow pine" rtesifrnatcs the long-leal species, in Arkansas and Missoui-i the short leaf, while there the name " loiig letit" is applied to the "loblolly," which is rarely cut. In Florida, the Carolinas, and Crcorgia the name "yellow pine" is also used with less distinc- tive application. In Florida, l)esides the Cuban pine, which is never distinguished on the market, loblolly may also appear in the luiuber pile. In Geoigia and the Carolinas, although locally the name "yellow pine" is most fre(iuently ajjplied to the sluirt-leaf, in the market a mixture of long- leaf, short-leaf, loblolly, and Cuban pine satisfies the uauie. In England, wlicre probably nothing but long-leaf pine is handled, the current name is "pitch- pint;," and this name is also most commonly used in (leorgia and North and South Carolina, strictly applying to long-leaf pine. In Boston only Southern and hard ]iine is mentioned without distinction. It is in New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore, and otlier Atlantic markets that the greatest variety of names is used, with an attinnpt to distinguish two kinds, the long-leaf aiul short-leaf, by using the name of the State from which the lumber is supposed to come, but neither the name nor the lund)er pile agree always with the species that was to be represented. "North Carolina pine," which is supposed to api)ly specitically to short-leaf, will be found to include in the pile also better qualities of loblolly, sometimes to the amount of 50 per cent. Long- leaf forms only very occasionally a part of the supplies from this section. " Georgia pine" is meant to designate the long-leaf species, and, like " Florida pine," does mostly conform to tliis designation except as noted before under the name of yellow pine. " VirgiiHa pine" and "Virginia yellow pine" are names hardly known elsewhere than in the markets of Baltimore and Washington, where the bulk of the common building timber consists ol it. It applies iu the main to the loblolly, with a very snmll percentage of short le;if making its way into tlie pile. While tliis is mostly coarse-grained, inferior material, selected stutt when well seasoned furnishes good finishing and flooring material. FIELD NAMES. Field names are those appHed to the four Soutliern pine lumber species in the tree and logs. Such names are usually more or less known to dealers and manufacturers, but, aside from the market names already discussed, are rarely, if ever. ai»plieil to lumber in the market. Of the three pines, long-leaf, short-leaf, and loblolly, the first alone is perfectly known by lum bermeu and woodmen as a distinct "variety"(species). The remaining species, presenting to the lumbernmn's eye various forms according to the site producing the timljer, are commonly sup])osed "varieties" or "crosses" more or less rt'lated to the long-leaf pine. Specific difierences in the bim- ber both iu appearance and (piality, form, however, a sufficient basis of distinction as far as liimlier is concerned, although this distinction is not necessarily carried out iu putting lumber on the market. A few of the names in common use are fretiuently applied by kimbermen to entirely ditterent species from tho.se usually known to botanists by t lie same name. The perplexity thus arising, upon the supposition that the common names of our botanical text-books are applied to the species by lumbermen, is not inconsiderable, and can doubtless be avoided only by a nuire careful atten- tion on the part of the people to real .specific distinctions. The confusion in names is .such that it is almost impos.sible to analyze properly the use of these names in the various regions. In the above tabulated account of names a geographical distri- bution has been given as far as possilde. Here only a few of the names are to be discussed. "ritch-pine" is the name most commonly applied to the long-leaf in the Atlantic regions, and where it occurs associated with the short leaf and loblolly the former is called "yellow i)ine" and the latter is called "short leaf." The name "long leaf or long-leaved pine" is rarely heard in the field, "longstraw" being substituted. The greatest diftV'rence of names and conseciuent confusion exists in the case of the loblolly, due no doubt to the great variety of localities which it occuiiies and consequent variety of habit of growth and quality. "Swamp" and "sap-pine" refer to comparatively young growth of the loblolly, coarse grained, recognized by the rather deep longitudinal ridges of the bark, growing 17 on low ground. " Slash-pine" in Virginia and North Carolina is applied to old well developed trees of both loblolly and short-leaf; in Florida it is exclusively applied to the Cuban pine. When applied to the loblolly it designates a tree of fine grain, one-half to two-thirds sap, recognized by the bark being broken into large, broad, smooth plates. This same form is also called "short-leaf pine " in North Carolina. ' "Eosemary-pine" is a name peculiar to a growth of loblolly in the swamp region of the Car- olinas, representing fully grown trees, fine grained, large amount of heart, and excellent quality, now nearly exhausted. "Loblolly" or "old-held pine," as applied to Pimm 2Vcf?ffi, is a name given to the second growth springing upon old tields iu North and South Carolinas, while in Alabama and Mississippi, etc., the name '' old-field" pine is applied to Plnm echinata.

The large silvery white buds of the long-leaf pine, which constitute its most striking character, and the candelabra-like naked branches with brush-like tufts of foliage at the end readily distinguish it from the Cuban pine, which bears a fuller and denser crown. The dark-green, glossy, and heavy foliage of the latter readily distinguishes this again from the loblolly, where these may appear associated, the latter having sea-green and thinner foliage. As a rule, the Cuban pine grows taller (up to 110 or 115 feet, with a diameter of 2J to 3 feet) than the longleaf, which rarely exceeds 105 feet and 20 to 36 inc-hes in diameter. The Cuban pine forms massive horizontally spreading limbs, and at maturity a crown with rounded outlines; the long-leaf pine forms a more flattened crown with massive but twisted, gnarled limbs, which are sparingly branched. The thin bark of the long-leaf (only one quarter to one-half inch thick), of uniform reddish brown color throughout, exfoliates in thin, almost transparent, rhombic Hakes; the thick bark of the Cuban pine of the same color exfoliates in very thin, broad, purplish flakes. The short-leaf pine is readily distinguished by the comparatively shorter and more scant appearance of its foUage. Moreover, this species is at once recognized by its characteristically small cones. Its habit is spreading, if compared with the nuu-e ascending, compact habit of the loblolly. At maturity the short-leaf has a much shorter bole (85 to 95 feet, diameter U to 2 feet) than the loblolly (125 to 150 feet, diameter 4 to 5 feet), with which it is often associated, and a more pyramid-shaped crown. The reddish bark of the short-leaf in mature trees is broken into long plates, while the loblolly bark appears of grayish color and breaks into broader, larger, and more deeply fissured plates. [ DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT. The geographical (botanical) distribution of the long-leaf pine is shown in a map published in the annual report of the chief of the forestry division for 1891, which was prepared by Dr. Charles Mohr, of Mobile, Ala., agent of this division, and much of the information here giveu, is taken" from his still unpublished monographs on these pines. Within the boundaries of geographical distribution each species is found to occupy certain soils and sites which form its habitat. The habitat of the piues in general is found on sandy and 14500— No. 8 3 18 mostly well drained soils. In regard to moisture conditions of the soil, the diflVMeiii si)ecies adjust themselves diflerently. The long-leaf pine is found (only excei)tioually otherwise) on the best-drained, deep, sandy, siliceous alluvium, while the Cuban pine is confined to the moister flats or pine meadows of the coast, and will grow closely down to the saiuly swamps; not objecting to clayey admixtures in the soil, but shunning the dry sandy pine hills. The short-leaf pine pre- fers a well-drained, light, sandy or gravelly chiy soil, or warm light loam, while the loblolly, often struggling with the short-leaf for the possession of the soil, can adapt itself to wetter situations. From the southern confines of Virginia the long-leaf pine covers the later deposits of sands, light loanis, and gravel which follow the Atlantic coast to the everglades of Florida, and west on the gulf shore to the valley of the Trinity Kiver (Texas), in a belt from (iO to loO nules wide. In nortli ern Alabama and the adjoining part of Georgia the forests of this pine reach a short distance beyond the 34'' north latitude on isolated and more or less restricted areas iu similar soil. In its distribution tlnougli the Atlantic States and the eastern Gulf region, three distinct divisions can be recognized in this coast pine belt: First, the coast jdain, from 10 to 30 miles from seashore, rising above the marshes and alluvial swam])S, forms a belt 5 to 30 miles iu width. In the grassy Hat- woods this ]>ine is found scattered and of rather stunted growth, while on the higher level, where it once prevailed in greater perfection, it has been largely replaced by the loblolly and tlie <'uban pines. The second division embraces the rolling ]iine lands or pine barrens proper, the elevation o, which is rarely over 250 feet above tidewater. These undulating lands often s])read out into extensive table lands, and are, almost without any interruption, covered with a pure gvnwlhul mature long-leaf i)ine of the greatest perfection. The third division, forming the upper ])artof1he maritime inne belt, is a region of mixed growth, where on the steep rocky or gravelly ridges the longlcMf pine is frcijuently associated with the short leaf and loblolly ]iine and haidwood trees. In tliis division, generally on a richei' sng leiif tind:>er of this division generally shows a larger i)roiiortion of sapwood and a slightly coarser grain than that of the other divisions, and has therefore been considered somewhat infci ior in quality. It is found more generally wind shaken. In Virginia the lung leaf i)iiu' is, for all ])ractical puiposcs, extinct. In North Carolina, in the division of nuxed growth aiul in the plain between the Albenuirle and Pandico Sound, the long Icat ])ine has likewise been almost entirely removed and is replaced by the loblolly. The fon-sts ol longlcaf pine begin with Bouge Inlet, stretching for a distance of from 95 to 150 miles inland, reaching down to the State line and cover, roughly estimated, about (i, 500, 0(10 acres. These for- ests hav(> l)een to a great extent despoiled of their timber wealth by the tapi)ing of the trees for turpentine. From the statement of the Tenth Census Iicport the timber supply of long leaf i>ine in South Carolina is but slightly exceeded by tliat of North Carolina. The pine belt in this State is about 150 miles wide. It is mainly occupied by the long-leaf pine, but on the hill lauds is intermixed with the short leaf pine. The forests on the elevated table-land in the southwestern part of the State, almost untouched, are spoken of as being of the finest quality. It is interesting to note that there has been during the past ten years a steady increase in the development of the lumber resources of the State. Iir Georgia, the great pine State of the southern Atlantic, the forests ot long-leaf pine cover, almost exclusively, the vast interior plain of over 17,000 square miles in extent. The timber from this extensive lumbering region (in the markets favorably known as "Georgia pine") is mostly rafted down tlie Savannah River and the Altamaha lliver to Savannah, Darien, and Brunswick. During the past twelve years shipments aggregating about 300,000,000 square feet of lumber ami square timber have been made annually from these ports, with but slight tluctuations in the amount of the annual outputs. In eastern Florida the pine belt can be traced to St. Augustine. Farther south, the long-leaf pine is replaced by the Cuban pine. On the Gulf side more important areas of the long leaf growth are found extending until the savannas and everglades are reached, where again the Cub.m pine replaces it, but the timber seems to be of an inferior quality and the pine forests are frequently interrupted by swamps with hardwood trees. Since 1880 the kuubering industry iu eastern Florida has been on the decliue. 19 In the Gulf States, from the Chattahoochee Eiver to the lowlands of the Mississipiji, the pine belt covers about 40,000 sqnare miles. The forests of long-leaf pine in western Florida have been largely exhausted. The most extensive and flnest bodies remaining are found between the Perdido and Escambia rivers toward tlie Alabama State line and in some of tlie remoter townships along the same bonier further east to the Yellow River. In Alabama the best and largest snpi)lies of long leaf pine timber are found in the forests of undulating pine lands between the (Jliattahoochee Valley and Perdido River. Over one-third of the timber and lumber annually shipjied from Pensacola, amounting on the average for the last live years to about 250,000,000 feet, is derived from these forests. The high (luality of their timber is strikingly exhibited in the quantities of hewn square timber exported from the above Itort and fnmi Mobile to England and I-:ur(>i)e. At present Mobile is meeting tlie highest require- ments in this line of export trade, furnisjiing sticks without a blemish of 120 (;ubic feet on the average. During the past year 2,903,000 cubic feet of hewn square timber has been shipped from this place. In the up))er diNision of the coast ])ine belt, or region of mixed growth, the forests of long-leaf pine arc contined to the steep gravelly or rocky ridges and can be said to cover about 7,000 square miles; where the long-leaf pine is found either alone or associated with the short-leaf, the loblolly pine, and hardwood trees. The growth is heavy, the trees generally ranging between 20 and 25 inches in diameter, breast high ; they are from 200 to 250 years old, and for the greatest part found to be wind-shaken, a result, no doubt, of a freer exposure to the force of the wind The forests of long-leaf pine crossing the State centrally in a belt from 5 to over 20 miles wide ami covering a little over 1,000 square miles, and those of lesser extent found in the northern half of the State, furnish timber not inferior to that from the rolling pine lands of the maritime belt. The drift deposits along the Ooosa River, covering about ;!00,000 acres, and a detached portion of drift in Walker county of 00,000 acres, is covered with pine of tine quality hardly yet touched. Tlie forests of long-leaf pine in Mississippi in their extent fall but little short of thos'e in Alabama, and are fully ecjual in the quality of their timber; not less than 300,000,000 feet of timber and lumber have been shipi)ed by water and rail from the mills along the Pascagouhi and Pearl ri\'cvs and the :N\>w Orleans, Northeastern, and Illinois Central Railroad lines. During the year 1892 fully 751,000,000 feet of timber and lumber have been shipped to foreign and domestic markets from the coast pine belt of the Gulf States east of the Mississippi Eiver. Toward the west, in Louisiana, the coast pine belt gradually passes iiito a mixed growtli of short leaf pine, oaks, and hickories on the uplands bordering the Mississippi. The slightly undulating Hatwoods of Louisiana sniqiort a better timber growth than is generally found in tlie upland pine barrens; but this forest has been largely invaded, while the pine-hill region of Louisiana has re- mained almost untouched. The pine region west of the Jlississippi River, limited to the sands and gravels of the region, follows on its eastern boundary the valley of the Ouachita River for 150 miles. In the center of the region above the Red Eiver pine ridges alternate with tracts of oak and hickory. In western Louisiana and eastern Texas the forests of the long-leaf pine occupy, roughly esti- mated, an area somewhat exceeding 10,000 square miles. The pine lands north of the Red River are undulating and ditfer in no way in the nature of their timber growth from similar lands in the coast pine belt of the eastern Gulf States. South of the Red River the rolling laiuls merge into flat woods which, from Lat. 31° N. continue from the basin of the Calcasieu Eiver without change across the Sabine River to the valley of the Trinity Eiver in Texas. These flat woods of south- western Louisiana- and eastern Texas suppoit a denser timber growtli, said by experts to fre- quently exceed 7,000 square feet to the ace. The trees are for this species of a remarkably quick growth. As observed in the forests near the Xatchcz Eiver in Texas, full-sized trees from 23 to 25 inches in diameter, breast high, showed from 20S to .■540 lings respectively im the stump; and trees from 19 to 21 inches in diametershow 105 and 113 annual rings; trees of tiiis stage of growth show, on a radius of from 9^ to 9f inches (clear of bark), 4 iiK'lies ol' sap. In the mature trees mentioned first the thickness of sap was found in the first instance 2i inches on a radius of 13 inches and in the second IJ inches on a radius of nearly 11 inches. The grain is coarser and even, and the timber remarkably tree from the defects caused by wind shaking. Nearly all of the 20 timber of Lhese western forests of the long-lenf pine is sa.wu into lumber and square stuff, used for framing- and car building, and shipped to the northern markets to sui)ply the timberless regions of the west. During tlie past year the cut has been ascertained to fall not far short of 8(»0,00(»,000 feet board measure. Of this output 225,000,000 square feet have to be ascribed to Louisiana and 575,000,000 to Texas. CHARACTEIIISTICS OF THE WOOD. No more difticult task could be set than to describe on paper tlie wood of these pines, or to give the distinctive features so that the kinds can be distinguished and recognized by the unini- tiated. Only the combined simultaneous impressions ui^on all the senses permit the expert to make sure of distinguishing these woods, without being able to analyze in detail the characters by wliich he so distinguishes them. While in many cases there would be no hesitation in referring a given stick to one or the other si>ecjes, others may be found in which the resemblance to more than one species is so close as to make them luirdly distinguishable. The following attempt to diagnose these woods nuist, therefore, be takeu only as an imperfect general guide. So far even micro- scopic examination has not furnished unfailing signs. Color is so variable that it can hardly serve as a distinguisliing feature. The direction of the cut, roughness of surface, exudation of resin, coudition of health, wid:h of grain, moisture condition, even the mode of drying, exposure, etc., all have their share in giving color to the wood. Bearing iu mind this great complication of color effects it will be granted that descriptions of the same, disturbed by peculiarities of each separate observer, w'ill aid but little iu identifying the woods. The sapNVood of all the pines looks very nearly alike, and so does the heartwood. The color of the springwood in the sap is a light yellowish with a shade of brown; the summer wood con- tains nunc brown, variable with the density of the cells and appearing darker when the bands are more abruptly separated from the spring wood. The heart-wood shows a nuirkedly darker color with a reddish tlesh-color tinge added. It is perhaps easiest to distinguish the wood of the long-leaf and Cuban pines fnmi that of the short-leaf and loblolly. It is also possibh^ to keep apart the long-leaf from the Cuban; but while, in general, the short-leaf ami loblolly can be more or less easily distinguished by color or giaiu, some fornts of the latter (rosemary-pine) so nearly resemble the former that no distiuguishing feature is apparent. The most ready means for distinguishing the four seems to be the specific gravity or weight in eonneetion with the grain. The proportion of sap a^nd heart-wood will also be an aid in recog- niziu"- a log or log run lumber iu the pile. These distinctive features are tabulated as follows, the figures representing average conditions of merchantable timber and mature trees: Diagnostic feat II reti of the wood. Name of species.

Abundant; more than short-leaf, less than iong- leaf and Cuban. 21 The loug-leaf pine, then, is best distinguished by the following- fonr characteristics : (1) Width of the anuiial rings, having usually from 18 to 25 rings to the inch, as against 11 to 12 in the short-leaf and loblolly. Fewer rings to the inch would lend countenance to the suspicioji that the material is not long-leaf. (2) Weight, whicli for partially seasoned wood averages about 48 pounds, being S to 12 pounds heavier than short-leaf and loblolly. The lowest specific gravity found by Prof. .lolmson was O.CG for tree 52, or 38 pounds. (3) Amount of resin, which produces, when the wood is cut across the grain with a sharp knife, a polished and vitreous or horny appearance of the sunimerwood. This is, however, not a very reliable sign, as other pines react in the same maTiner. Whether the pi-esence of large amounts of resin account for the great weight and lor superior strength is still an open i|nestion. ' (4) Thickness of sap-wood, which, at least in the pines now cut for Innilier, is rarely over 2 or 3 inches wide, much less than the other pines with which it might be confounded. SPECIAL ADAPTATION!? OF LONGI.EAF YELLOW PINE. In regard to the use of this timber, Prof. Johnson makes the following statements regarding the extensive tests here reported. The long-leaf pine timber is specially fitted to be used as beams, joists, posts, stringers in wooden bridges, and as flooring when ([uarter-sawed. It is {n-obably the strongest timber in large sizes to be had in the United States. In small selected specimens, other species, as oak and hickory, may exceed it in strength and toughness. Oak timber, when used in large sizes, is apt to be more or less cross-grained, knotty, and season-checked, so that large oak beams and posts will average much lower in strength than the long-leaf pine, which is usually free from these defects. The butt cuts are apt to be wind-shaken, however, which may weaken any large beams coming from the lower i^art of the tree. In this case the beam would fail by sheai'ing or splitting along this fiiult with a much smaller load than it would carry without such defect. These wind shakes are readily seen by the inspector, and sticks containing them are easily excluded, if it is thought worth while to do so. For highway and railway wooden bridges and trestles, for the entire floor system of what is now termed "mill" or "slow-buriiing" c(uistruction, for masts of vessels, for orflinary floors, joists, rafters, roof-trusses, mill-frames, derricks, and bearing jjiles; also for agricultural machinery, wagons, carriages, and esiiecially for iiasseiiger and ti-eight cars, in all their parts requiring strength and toughness, the long-leaf pine is pe(ailiarly fitted. Its strength, as compared to that of short-leaf yellow piTie and white pine is probably very nearly in direct proportion to their relative weight, so that pound for jiound all the pines are probably of about equal strength. The long-leaf pine is, however, so much heavier than these other varieties that its strength for given sizes is much greater. A great many tests have now been made on short-leaf and on loblolly pine, both of which may be classed with long-leaf as "Southern yellow pine," and from these tests it appears that both these species are inferior to the long-leaf in strength in about the ratio of their specific gravities. In other words, long-leaf pine {Finns pnltistris) is about one-third stronger and heavier than any other varieties of Southern yellow pine lumber found in the markets. It is altogether likely that a considerable proi)ortion of the tests heretofcu-e made ou "Southern yellow pine" have been uiade on one or both of these weaker varieties. RESULTS OF MECHANICAL TESTS. By J. B. Johnson. GENERAL SUMMARY. In Table I are given the principal re.sults of tests on the individual sticks of long-leaf pine, made in 1S91 and 189:2. They comprise tests on twenty-six trees, all from Alabama. Ten of these were normal, healthy, living trees, from two localities, averaging abont two hundred years old and about 21 inches in diameter. Sixteen of them had been tapped for turpentine ("boxed"), eight of them being taken from an orchard abandoned five years, ;ind eight from an orchard recently boxed. These trees averaged 18 inches in diameter. The logs from the unboxed trees were cut into both large and small beams. Those from the boxed trees we>-e cut wholly into four by four inch sticks. There have been about 4.30 tests made on these sticks in each of five ways, or some 2,150 tests in all. These tests may be divided in general into two classes, "green" and "dry." The green tests on the unboxed trees were made some six months after sawing, while those on the boxed timber were made some two months after sawing. The dry tests on the unboxed timber were made about eighteen mouths after sawing, and the dry tests on the boxed timber some fourteen months after sawing. Some of the dry tests were made on sticks which had been treated for a few days in a dry kiln which was operated by an exhaust fan drawing air over steam coils, the temperature of the box being less than 100° F. The bold-faced type in this table indicates the experimental values reduced for 1.^ per cent moisture. This is abont the ordinary percentage of nniisturc of sea.scnied Inndter, under shelter, but out of doors. These are the values which have been used in all the subsequent .studies and in Tables II, III and IV, VARIATION OF STRENGTH WITH MOISTURE. In Plates vii-x are shown the curves which exhibit the variation of strength due to differ- ence in moisture of the test piece. No curves are given for speciiic gravity or for tensile strength, as both of these properties seemed to be practically independcnit of moisture, as shown in Plates XI and XII. The curves in Plates vii-x were obtained as follows: The average of observed results of tests on specimens trom singletrees were lirst plotted on cross-section pai)er, with their corresponding percentages of moisture, the several mean results (green and dry) on one tree being joined by straight lines to indicate that they all belonged to one and tlie same tree. These results scattered widely, since all other sources of strength entered into the result, aside from moisture. A provisional curve was then drawn, showing the probable law of change of strength due to mois- ture conditions alone, and this curve was then traced ott' upon aiiother sheet. The several i)airs of mean observed results on single trees (green and dry) were now copied ui)on this sheet in their true moisture relations, but without any reference to their ab.solute strength relation, any farther than that they were made .symnietrical horizontally (strength cooi'dinate) with the assumed cur\e already drawn. That is to say, each pair of results (green and dry) were moved horizontally until they became symmetrical in a horizontal direction with this curve. Thus, while their relative strength was left the same, their absolute strength was ignored. In this way all other sources of influence upon strength were eliminated except that of moisture, and the law of variation of 22 23 strength with moisture was developed entirely free from other influences. In many cases a second assumed curve was drawn and a new diagram of results obtained. (Fig. 11.) Notwithstanding this method of elimination of other sources of strength it was found in sev- eral instances, as in the modulus of elasticity, crushing across the grain, and in shearing (Plates VIII, IX, and X), that some of the trees showed such discrepancies in their relation of strength to iiioisture, that the curve of mean values could not be used for reducing results on these trees. Such discrepant sets of results are inclosed by dotted lines, and separate curves of correction 3000 PERCENTAGE OF MOISTURE^ Fig. 11.— Method of coiistmctiiig ciuvos of .averages.

The corresponding pairs (dry and green) of curves for these trees can be ide^itilied by the attached numbers of the trees, the average values for which arc re])rcsente(l by the jilotted points. Oh those sticks which were originally 18-feet long beams three sets of results were obtaincil by tests at approximately .iO, 20 and 12 per cent moisture. The very high percentages of niois ture shown in all these <-urvcs do not represent averages for the tree, but represent the mean re- sults from such sticks as iiad a very liigh pro])orti(m of moisture in tlic grc-u tests. They are inserted to give some further indication of the form of this end of tlie curve. 24 EFFECT OF MOISTURE. It will at once be evident from a casual inspection of tbese curves that all kinds of strength (except tensile strength, which seems to be independent of moisture) increase greatly as the moisture diminislies, and that this increase becomes very rapid after the timber has become, say, half dry, or below 20 per cent moisture. Not only is the timber stronger, but it is more elastic. Thus the gain in relative elastic resistance between 30 and 15 per cent of moisture is by a much greater proportion than tlie corresponding gain in the elastic limit strength. The modnhis of elasticity is also greater, so that we may say tiiat tlie drier the timber (within practical limits) the stronger, the stififer, and the tougher it bececiflc gravity does not appreciably change as the timber dries ciut from 30 to 15 per cent of moisture (computed on the dry weight), it follows that the shrinkage in \dlume is practically equal to the diminution of moisture, so that the weight of unit volume remains prac tically constant in this species of timber. RELATION BETWEEN STRENGTH AND STIFFNESS. On Plate X are ])latted the average values of the moduli of elasticity for whole trees and of the moduli of cross-beudiug strength at tlie elastic limit. The relation of these two curves represents the relation \shi3h exists between the working strength and stiffness of a beam. It appears that the stittiiess is a true index of the strenglli. and that in tiiis species the stift'er the beam the stronger it will prove. The equation of tlie mean line as drawn on this jdate is — Elaxt if- limit nioihihts of sfrcnf/fh in ryonH-hreakiiKj = 5(10 + 0.0047 U (1) Where £' = niodulus of elasticity as found from a cross-bending test by making I]= J!^ . • . . . .

Plate XI exhibits the relation found to exist between crushing strength and specific gravity or weiglit.

(3) The diagram (Fig. 1-') shows the relation between the "average (jnality'' of the tind)er and itssi)ecific gravity. In tiiis case each arison with the "average quality" of all other trees. Here, also, a regular increas« in average strength with an increase in spei-itic gravity is indicated. It was to be ])resunled lliat this would l)e the case, wlien the results are all reduced to a standard dryness, since then tlie weight ])er unit volume is a true measure of the amount of woody fiber and resinous matter in the timber, and those in the same species determine to some extent the strength. RANGE OF INDIVIDIIAI, RESITLTS AS fJOMPARED WITH THE AVERA(iE OF ALL. I In Fig. i;i is shown a series of cuives which indicate tlie number of results ot each kind of test falhng within given limits. Thus, tlie most accordant results were those of the endwise crushing tests, over one third of which (150 in 430) fell between 05 jier cent and 105 ])cr cent of the mean of all, while none of Ihem fell below !iO ])er cent or above 140 ]ier cent of the mean, wherea.'^iu 25 tension only 270 tests fell between 75 per cent and 125 per cent of the mean, wliile some fell as low as 25 per cent and some were as high as 190 per cent of the mean. The greater nniformity of the tests in compression can be explained by the fact that in this case some ten s(|uare inches were always under test, whereas in tension only about one square inch was under test. If but a single test is to be made of timber, the compi-ession endwise gives the best indication of the general value of the wood. 0.9 RELATIVE AVERAGE STRENGTH * o CO o o o o O 0.8 o a © / » >- 1- :> s ID 9 u. o in / 0 0 / © s 0.6 Fig. 12. — Dinnruni sliowinj; tlie reliitioii lipt\v("<'ii strfiifjtli and \YeigTit when ii'diici'il to ;i staiulaiil dryness dI' 1."i ]ii'1- rent nmistnrr.

The average of these percentages 14.500— No. 8 4 26 NUMBER OF TESTS 27 for any one tree, given in the last column of Table HI, represents an average percentage of all finalities, or it may be considered an indication of the relative average quality. These averages have been used in iilotting the acconipanyiug diagram, in the order of their magnitude. No attempt is made here to explain the apparent discrepancy of 20 per cent between the lowest and highest average quality, any further than to call attention to the fact that in a general way this variation in strength corresponds fairly well with the variation in specilic gravity. COMPAKISON OF SINGLE QUALITIES WITH THE AVERAGE QUALITY. While the relations which exist between the relative average quality of a tree and its relative standing in specific gravity, compressive and cross-breaking strength (exhibited in Fig. 14), all agree, in a general way,with those trees which give less values in one of these directions having less 120 % Fig. 14.

In some other matters the agreement is not so close, as may be found by plotting the corresponding percentages given in Table III upon this figure. It has been well established that strength is no function of the width of the annual rings. It is, however, a function of the jn-oportion of summer wood to spring wood in each annual ring, or, since the sum- mer wood is always more dense, this is tlie same as saying that the strength is a function of the density or of the specific gravity, which relation is clearly shown in Fig. 14, as well as in Plate xi. RELATIVE STRENGTH OF LARGE AND SMALL ISEAMS. In Table IV the mean results of all tests on large and small beams are tabulated separately. By comparing these mean values, as given at the bottom of Table IV, we are forced to conclude — (1) That large beams are from 10 to 20 per cent weaker in ultimate strength than the corre- si)onding 4x4 inch beams from the same logs. (2) That large beams are stronger at their elastic limits than the small beams from the same logs. 28 LOG I.

In other words, the modulus of elasticity as (letermiiied iiom a large beam is greater than that determined from a 4 inch square beam from the same log. Cantion: It must beljorne in mind that the number of tests on large sticks here ottered in evidence is too small to base much of an argument upon; also that, as shown by the log dia- grams in Table IV, the 4 inch l)cams were taken from nearer the sapwood than the large sticks, and this alone may fully explain all the ditterences found.

VAKIATION IN STRENGTH ACROSS THE SECTION OF THE LOG. In Fig. 15 are shown the jilotted mean results of tests on ditt'eient portions of the cross-section of a bottom log. These results are from one log only, but many other similar studies show sim ilar relations, so that for any full-grown tree the butt-log, at least, will show similar variation. The general law is that the outer rings of annual growth are the weakest portions of the log, readily 30 explained by the fact tliat here the eell wmH.s are tliiuuer. Passing towards the heart, the strength increases and reaches a niaxinium in llie butt of a mature tree at a distance of abont one-third of the radius from the heart. In the immediate vicinity of tlie heart tlie strengtli decreases again. In very old trees this strength may diminish to zero, the heart portion det-aying and wasting away entirely. For the upper parts of a tree, the central heart portion is doubtless the strongest part of the log. Tlie variation of strength is not great, however, as shown in Fig. 15, the range being only abont 12 per cent of the average strength, namely from 4 per cent below to 8 per cent above the mean strength of all the sticks in this log. In crushing across the grain and in shearing there seemed to be no relation of variation of strength and radial situation within the log exhibited. VARIATION OF STRENGTH AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS FROM THE GROUND. In Fig. 1("> is shown the diminution in strength at increased distances from the base of the tree under the ordinary kinds of stress. The modulus of elasticity (.stiffness) and the tensile strength show greatest loss, each losing abont 40 per cent of their strength at a height of 70 feet. The cross-breaking strength is reduced by one-third and the crushing endwise strength by only about one- fifth in this distance. The first 20 or 30 feet of the tree seems to be of about a c(>Hstant strength. SHEARING AND CRUSHING STRENGTH PARALLEL AND TRANSVERSE TO THE ANNUAL RINGS. The shearing tests were made in two ]ilanes at right angles to each other on each stick. Whenever these shearing planes came parallel and perpendicular to the annual rings, an opportu- nity was offered for determining the difference in strength in these two ways. The mean results from seventy-live such cases showed a shearing strength on planes parallel to the annual rings of 579 pounds per square iiu'h, and perpendicular to or across the rings of CKi pounds per square inch, a difference of (1.2 per cent. In a similar way the crushing strength across the grain was found to be (mean of 70 tests) 1,106 pounds per square inch, while parallel to the grain it was 1,257 ]>oiinds per square inch at theS per centdistortiou limit,or a slrength 12.8 percent greater parallel to the annual rings. Tiicse percentages are both too small to take any account of in actual prac, tice, and can therefore be ignored in this sjiecies of timber. * SHRINKAGE IN SEASONING.* Plate XI seems to indicate that the specific gravity remains practically constant as the per centage of moisture diminishes from 30 to 15 per cent of the dry weight. This implies that the diminution of volume is practically equal to the diminution of weight, so that the weight of unit volume is about constant. This proba1.)ly holds true in all timbers for slight variations in the percentage of moisture of seasoned lumber or for changes in moisture between 10 and 20 ])er cent. Ordinary seasoned lumber, left out of doors, will retain about 15 per cent moisture, comjjuted on the dry weight, while wood used indoors, as in house-finishing, furniture, etc., will retain alxiut 10 per cent. EFFECT OF BOXING OR BLEEDIN(J FOR TURPENTINE ON STRENGTH OF TIMBER. In a circular by the Forestry Division (No. 8) a |ircliminary statenu'nt oC results of tests on timber bled for turpentine was made, which contained the following language: One seiifs of tests Wiis instituted t(i determine tlH-ett'ect wliicli the praetiir (ifgatherinf; rcsinons matter ('(n the inannfaeture of turpentine and naval stores from the h>ng leaf pine of tlie South may liave upon the strength oltlic timher of trees subjected to this practice. The gathering of resin is done by cutting a recess (box) into the foot of the tree, whieli is called "boxing" the tree, and tlien scarring (chipping) the trunk above the box, increasing tlie size of tlie scar from year to year. From this scar the semi-liquid resin exudates and drains into the box; this process is continued for four years nnoxe(l" trees, sometimes calleil "turpentine tJn;- ber," is deterioratiMl l>y tlie process. Not only is its durability, in which this species excels, believed to be lessened, but also its streujjth, and hence its value in tho market has been considerably reduced.

To learn what was known to practical men, sawmillers, and dealers with regard to the matter of "bled" and "luibled" yellow longleaf pine, a special journey was undertaken by the writer to tlie principal ])ine districts of Alabama, Georgia, and the Caroliiias. Through the great courtesy (tf every person visited, valuable information was collected. • The following condensed summary contains this information in brief form: (1) Most of the timber in Georgia and the (Jarolinas is hied. In Alabama only a small part is said to be bled. The same answer pertains probably to Mississippi and Louisiana, and in Texas probably no bleeding is practiced. (2) There is no attempt made in the mills to keep bled and unbled timber separate, nor in the yard. (3) To the question whether bled and unbled lumber can be distinguished, the universal answer was negative. Of the few exceptions, three belong to South Carolina, one to Georgia, and four to Alabama. Neither of these, when brought to test or asked to state the distinction, were successful. (4) Experts in lumber being put to test, were said never to have been successful in distinguish- ing bled from unbled lumber. (5) Orders for lumber specifying that it be all unbled are not uncommon, though it is said in Atlanta, Ga., they are less common than some years ago. (fi) Serious troubles, involving cousideral)le loss of money, have arisen out of this matter iu Alabama and Georgia. These were never settled by selecting the bled from the unbled lumber, but had to be compromised. The most instructive case of this kind was related in Alabama. It was a case with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, who accept only unl)led luml>er. The lumber was to be furnished by a mill which cuts only unbled timl)er. Circumstances retarded the work at this mill, and another mill was engaged to furnish part of the lumber, without special consent of the railway company. When the latter learned of it, they remonstrated; the niiller offered to take back all that could be picked out as bled lumber. The railway engineers failing to distinguish the lumber, the matter had to be dropped. (7) Regarding the effect of four years' bleeding upon the lumber, the following answers were given : (rt) It makes it more " pitchy." (ft) It is less "pitchy," except in the butt. (c) It frees the sap of resin, but leaves the heart unaffected. {d) It leaves the tree unaffected, except in the butt. (e) It produces "fat streaks" and large amounts of "light wood." (8) Regarding the question whether bled lumber works better than unbled, the answer was both ways, yes and no; but it was admitted commonly that petroleum was used in cither case to keep the knives clean. (9) Regarding the question whether bled lumber lasts as well as unbled, three answers were given. The general answer was, no; in Georgia it was, yes, and there it was even maintained that it lasts longer. Everywhere it was contended that at least the butt log lasts longer as timber or piling. For inside work no difference was made. 32 33 (10) Does bleeding lessen the v;iluc of the timber? The common answer was, "yes'"; fre- quently, however, in all parts, " no" ; in Georgia it was contended that bleeding improves tiie timber. (11) It was generally stated that the yield per acre for the saw-miller was reduced by the practice of turpentine orcliardiug, even though he followed the turpentine man at once. (lii) Abandoned orchards are always visited by fires and these tires always reduce the yield of saw timber per acre to a very large, although variable, extent. According to one of Geiirgia's foremost lumbermen, an orchard l)led four years, and then left two more years because the miller was not ready for it, lost 60 percent of its mill-sized timber. (1-3) It is common for turpentine mcu to box timber far under mill size. The miller can use only from 20 to 50 per cent of the boxed timber and the bled trees not used by the miller mostly die ofl". (li) If tire is kept (jut the bled trees rcuuiin alive, but are said, in North Carolina at least, not to be tit for lumber. From the foregoing statements it appears that all lumbermeu are agreed upon thefollowing imjiortant points: (1) That a large proportion of the yellow or long-leaf pine lumber is from bled trees. (2) That it is never keiit apart or distinguished from the unbled by either millers or dealers. (3) That no available criteria exist by which to distinguish the two kinds of lumber after manufacture. It is also plain that the oi)inions regarding ditfcrence in (juality or the intiuence of bleeding on the timber or luml>er are too contradictory to be convincing, and also that the harm which follows the practice of bleeding lies not in the injury to lumber, but consists in — (1) Bleeding of trees too small for the sawmill. (2) lileeding of tracts of timber not ready for the miller at the time (tf abandonme>nt. Careful examination in the laboratory and iu the field did not confirm any of the opinions with regard to the eti'ects of bleeding. Some of the most resinous logs were from orchards in South Carolina; some of the '-driest" from unbled forests in Alabama. The ordinary "fat streak" is a snuill wound nuide and healed over at a time when the place is still at the periphery or out- side of the tree, therefore, it is sometimes made more than a hundred years before the bleeding occurred. The long reaches of "light wood" are met in unbled tindter. Weight and color are more dependent on the proportion of spring and summer wood than on the amount of resin (except in lightwood) and can, therefore, not serve as distinctions. The eftect of bleeding on the forests appears at first as loss of foliage or thinning of the crown and some trees are evidently killed iu two seasons of bleeding; old abandoned orchards every- where are the very picture of desolation and ruin. The old long bled trees of North Carolina are runts, and show that with the methods at present pursued by the turpentine orchardists, the extraction of resin may sometimes be carried on for long periods, but not without injury to the health and thrifty growth of the trees. 11500— No. « 5 A CHEMICAL STUDY OF THE RESINOUS CONTENTS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION IN TREES OF THE LONG-LEAF FINE, BEFORE AND AFTER TAPPING FOR TURPENTINE. By M. GoMBERG. Botanists tell us that resins are produced by the disorganization of cell walls anil by the breaking down of starch granules of cells. Chemists believe that resins are oxidation products of volatile oils, the change being expressed by fornnila as follows: liC,oHi6 + 3() = C!2,iHM02+ HjO. Whatever view be correct * one thing is certain, and that is that the formation of either resins or essential oils requires the presence in the tree of those peculiar conditions which we call vital. The tree nuist live, must be active, must assimilate carbon dioxide and imbibe moisture, in order that oil of turpentine and rosin be formed. The heart of the tree is the dead part of it. It docs not manufacture any turpentine. A jiart of the oleoresin in it had been formed when the heart wood was yet sap wood, and remained there after the change from sap to heart liail taken place. It is also probable that the heart of the tree acts as a storehouse in which there is deposited a portion of the oleoresin formed in the leaves and sap. When a tree is tapped for turpentine there are two possible changes tliat might be supposed to take place: (1) The tree may be considered as placed in a pathological condition, when it will strive to ]iroduce a lai'ger amount of oleoresin in order to supply the amount removed. In a few years the energy of the tree will be exhausted, and the amount freshly supplied will fall tar below the amount of oleoresin drawn oft" by the tapping. The tapping will then have to be discontinued. The oleoresin in the heart wood will in this case remain untouched. ('2) The oleoresin previously stored away in the heart might, by some unknown means and ways, also be directed toward the wound. If the tirst change takes place then, the tapping will have little effect ui>on the chemical com- position of the heart wood. If, however, the second condition i>revails during ta])ping, then, of course, the heart wood will be seriously aftected for some time after tapping, and will contain a muchsnuiller amount of oleoresin than it contained before tapping. Moreover, the tapping may aftect not only the amount of oleoresin, but also the quality of the new product and the relative distribution of volatile and nonvolatile products. For this reason the chemical side of the problem has been approached by parallel analyses of tapped or untapped trees for their relative amounts of turi)entine. It was hoped that by a large series of analyses an average might be obtained showing whether lapped and untapped trees differ from each other in that respect. « CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF TURPENTINE. Under the name of turpentine is known an oleoresinous juice produced by all the coniferous trees in greater or less amount. It is found in the wood, bark, leaves, and other parts of the trees. It flows freely as a thick juice from the incisions in the bark. It consists of a resin or resins dis- solved in an essential oil; the latter is separated from the former usually by distillation with steam. There are many varieties of turpentine corresponding to the different varieties of Conifera', * The one view does not exclude the other. 34 35 but only three ;ire comiucrcially important, as they arc the source of the three princii)a] oils of turpentine. (1) The turpentine oi Pinus ^liiicstcr (.syu. I', maritima) collected in the southern departments of France around Bordeaux. From it is obtained the French tnriientine, which yields 25 per cent of volatile oil. (U) The turpentine from Tinun palusiris, P. to'da, P. Ciibenfiis, collected in the Southern sea- bordering States from North Carolina to Texas. From them, princii)ally from the first source, is obtained the English or American oil of turpentine, which yields 17 per cent of volatile oil. For- merly the P. rif/ida was also worked for turpentine in the North Atlantic States, but it is now exhausted. (3) The turpentine from Pinus laric-io var. Austrkiva, collected mainly in Austria and Galicia. From it is obtained the German turpentine oil, which yields 32 i)er cent of volatile oil. The Russian oil of turijeutine is obtained from Pinus syli-cstris and Pinus Ledehourii, by the direct distillation of the resinous wood, without jireviously collecting the turpentine. It is said to be identical with the (rerman oil of turpentine, but more variable, as it contains products of destructive distillation both of wood and rosin. The turpentines from the different sources differ from each other — (1) in their action uiwn polarized light, (2) in the relative amounts of volatile oil they yield on distillation with steam, and (3) in the nature of the volatile oils they contain. Colophon}/. — The rosin in the different varieties of turpentine is practically the same. It is known as common rosin or colophony.* It consists chemically of a mixture of several resin acids and their corresponding anhydrides. The chief constituent is abietic anhydride, C44H62O4, abietic acid being C44ll64()s. Tht; crystals that are noticed in crude turpentine are the free abietic acid; on melting the thick tiu'i)entine, or on distilling the volatile oil, the acid is changed to the anhydride. Colophony is nonvolatile, tasteless, brittle, has a smooth shining fracture, sp. gr. about 1.08. It softens at SO"^ C, and in boiling water melts completely at 135° C The voUdile oil. — The second principal ct)nstituent of turpentines are the volatile oils. The chief ingredient of the three turiientine oils is a hydrocarbon of the same composition, OioHir; nevertheless the three oils hiive distinct liydrocarl)ons differing from each other in physical if not in chemical properties. The empirical formula of the hydro(!arbon is CiuHis, and according to the latest researches of Wallacht it has the following structural formula: thus being a dihydro-para cymene, paracymene being OjoHu, CH(CHJ>i I c c/\ CH CCHi The position of this particular terpens, pinene, will be best seen from the general classification of terpenes taken from Wallach.

It is dextro- rotatory when obtained from tlie American turiientinc ()il, and is known as austro-fcrrhinfhciic or aii.stmlcne; licvo-rotatory wlien obtained from the Frencli turpentine oil, and is known as tere- hinthenc. Otherwise the two hydrocarbons agree entirely in specific gravity, boiling point, and behavior towards chemical reagents. The hydrocarijon of the Russian oil of turpentine is sylvc.strenc. It is dextro-rotatory, and has a higher boiling point than pinene. The latter boils at io.jo to 156° C, the former at ITo'^ to 178° C. But even the turpentine oils of high grade as found on tlic market do not consist of pure pinene; especially is this true of ordinary oil of turpentine, which is obtained I'rom the cruder turpentine by a single distillation with steam. Different samples vary from (me another consider- ably in their specific rotary power as well as in their boiling point. American oil of turpentine has a density of O.SGio to O.cSTO-^'. According to Allen* it begins to boil at a temperature l)etwecn 150° aiid \i',0o (].^ a]id fully iiasses over below 170^ ('. ''A good sami)le of rectified American oil will give it(l-'.i;5 ]ier cent of distilhite l)elow KioO, the greater part of which will pass over between 1.">S^' and l(!()'^J"t, while in the experience of J. 11. Long,| "In the examination of a large number of pure commercial samples of turpentine oil it was observed that the boiling point was uniforndy at l.V.^ to IT.lP, and tliat .S.'. per cent of the samples distilled between 155o and KiS^. The distillation is practically complete below l8o^ C." Then, again, as found by Long, the vapor densities of many samjiles of oil are too high to allow tlie formula tl,„II,„ for the entire oil. Fractions of different boiling points show different degrees of specific rotation. All this would indicate that ordinary turpentine oil contains hydro- carbons heavier than pure pinene, OioHiii- They are ju'obably either isomeric with pinene, but of a higher boiling |)oint, or may belong to the polyterpenes. Still less do we know of the source of these hydrocarbons. Whether they are produced by the tree simultaneously with pinene, and are, therefore, to be found in the oleoresin, or whether they are all or in i)art i)roduceil by external agencies after the turpentine has been dipped, can not be answered. Probably the formation of these other hydrocarbons takes ])lace in both ways spon taneou.sly in the tree and by some intluences outside the tree. Indeed, all terpenes have this property in common that they easily undergo change, from optic- ally active to inactive, fromhemitcriK-nes to terpenes and polyterpenes. The change can be brought about either by heat alone, or by heating the terpenes with salts or acids. So, when a sample of American turpentine oil of +18.0° was heated to 200° C. for two hours, it showed an opposite rota- tj,„, ,,f —!).<)'.§ riuene heated to 250° to oOO"^ is converted into dipenteiu' C,„H„„ l)oiling at 175°^ and a hyilrocarbon CioH,., l)oiling at 2()(l'^ C. These illustrations will suttico to show that the transformation of pinene into isomeric and heavier hydrocarbons may occur, at least partially, after the turpentine has been removed from the tree. The crude turpentine from Fiiiun palustrh, or hnig-leaf pine, is thus made up of — (1) Rosin, 7.5 to 'JO per cent ; mostly abietic anliy and c, sinnlar in size and form. Tlie tlask is immersed in boiling wati'r and a current of dry air is ])asscd through the whole apparatus for one ami oue-half hours. The Mask is then cooled and air is passed for one and one half hours longer. (Fig. 17.) It was thought that while l> would retain all the moisture and a port ion of the volatile com- pounds, c would retain about the same amount of the vure turpentine oil that the two ('aCUj tubes did not retain an equal amount of volatile oil. The quantity retained depended ujion many circum- stances, the chief one being the amount of moisture alread.v j)resent iu the CaCl.. tubes. 38 Even had the tubes retained equal quantities of turpentine oil, this method would still have the objection that one of the constituents Avas to be determined by ditt'erence — an objection esi)ecially serious when the ingredient to be so determined is small in comparison witli the materials to be weighed. The writer has therefore attempted to make use of a somewhat different principle. A few trials were sufficient to show that the method x^omised to give satisfactory results. Tlie basis of the method is the same which serves for the production of Eussian turpentine oil on a large scale, namely, the distillation of the volatile products from the wood itself, without previously obtaining the turpentine. But instead of condensing the volatile products, their vapors are passed over heated copper oxide whereby they are burned to water and <;arbou dioxide. Many trials were made with this method upon pure materials and on samples of resinoiis wood; as the results were found to be entirely concordant and satisfactory, the method was adopted, and by it were obtained the results presented in this report. DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD EMPLOYED. A weighed amount of wood shavings is placed in a straigiit OaOU tube a. The tube is con- nected on one side by means of a ca])illary tube with a drier A, which serves for freeing the air from moisture and OO.. Tiie other end of the tube is connected with an ordinary combustion tube h containing granulated GuO. The tube is drawn out at one end as is shown in the figure, and the narrow portion is loosely filled with asbestos wool. The connection is made glass to glass, so that Fig. 18. — Method of distillutiuu uf liuiifutiue. the vapors of distillation do not come in contact with any rubber tubing. The forward end of the combustion tube is connected with a OaCla tube c, (me-half of which is filled with granulated CaCU and the second half with P2O5. Then follows a potash bulb d provided with two straight tubes, the first one filled with solid KOH, the second with P2O3. The last tube is connected with an aspirator. All the connections having been made air-tight, the connection between the tube a and the drier A is shut off by means of a clamp and the aspirator turned on. When the combustion tube Las been heated to dull redness the burner under the air-bath B is ht and the temperature raised to lli)°-V2()° 0. The moisture contained in the tube escapes (juite rapidly, carrying with it some turpentine oil. The capillary tube at the other end of a practically checks backward diffusion or any accumulation of condensed vapors. In about 15 minutes all the moisture appears at the for- ward end of the combustion tube. The clamp is now opened and a stream of air at the rate of somewhat over one liter an hour is passed though tlie whole apparatus, while the temperature of the air bath is raised to 155° to 16()o C, and kept at that point for about 45 minutes. Towards the end of the operation the temperature is raised to 165° to 170° 0. for 10 minutes. Then the light under the air-bath is turned off and air aspirated for 20 to 25 minutes longer. As the air- oath is 39 in close contact with the combustion furnace the whole length of the tube is kept at a temperature above the boiling point of tuiijentine oil; in this way a complete distillation is insurert. All the moisture is retained by c, while the CO2 is absorbed in the potash bulb d. The gain in weight of c represents the moisture originally present in the sample of wood + the water pro- duced in the combustion of the hydrocarbons. The gain in weight of <1 represents the amount of COi derived from the combustion of the volatile products. The tube a is now transferred to an ordinary Loxhlet's extraction apparatus and exhausted witli ether. The latter is distilled off. th(>. residue dried for about 2 hours at 100° C. and weighed. This represents the amtiunt of rosin iu the sample of wood taken. As has been previously mentioned, the volatile oil of the oleoresin is not pure australene CioHip = (C5H8)2. It probably contains some other hydrocarbons, either of the same formula or belonging to the class of polyterpenes {G^Ha)!!- It is clear that whichever they be, their jtercent- age composition is alike iu all; they all have 0 = 88.2.3 per cent, H= 11.77 per cent. Therefore, so far as th« combustion of the volatile terpenes is concerned, they can all be represented by the equation 0,0 H,6 + UO2 = IOGO2 + 8H2O 130 440 144 In other words, 440 parts of GO2 are derived from 136 parts of volatile terpenes. 440 : 1.3G = 1:X; X = 0.3091 i. e., 1 pait of OO2 obtained in the combustion i-epresents 0.300 parts of volatile hydrocarbons. For every 440 parts of CO2 produced there are 144 parts of H2O formed. 440:144 = 1:X; X = 0.3272. i. e., simultaneously with 1 part of CO2 tliere is produced 0.327 parts of HjO. Let the weiglit of the sample taken = ((' Let the weight of CO2 obtained^ TT' Let the weight of H2O obtained = W" Then — JT' x 0.309 = T, the amount of volatile hydrocarbons. W X 0.327 = if', the amount of H.iO corresponding to the volatile hydrocarbons. tV" X — H'^H, the amount of moisture in the vrood. T = per cent of T; H = per cent of moisture. w 7f Thus the moisture, the volatile hydrocarbons, and rosin are obtained directly from the same sample. Where many estimations are to be made it is of course unnecessary to cool down the combustion tube between successive combustions. The temperature of distillation. — Some experiments were made to determine at what tempera- ture it is safe to conduct the distillation. Although pure turpentine boils at 156-160° C, yet in open air it can be volatilized at a much lower temperature, even on the water-bath, without any difficulty. Especially is this the case when the vapors are removed as soon as formed by a stream of air, but it must be remembered that the volatilization of the essential oil directly from the wood might be considerably hindered by the large amount of rosin. A sample of wood distilled by tlie method outlined above gave the following results at diiier- ent temperatures : 120° UO" 156O-60O 170° T = H20 = Pf.r cent. 1.09 11.17 Per cent. 1.18 11.33 Per cent. 1.30 11.23 Per cent. 1.26 Per cent. 1.32 Another sample gave: T = HjO = Per cent, l Per cent. 4.00 ■ 3.98 8.79 40 The results would indicate that the distillation is practically complete at 160° and that the wood itself does not contribute any COj by partial deijonipositiou at that high temperature, for, should the latter be the case, higher results might be expected at ISO" than at 100° and then the sapwood would give much higher numbers for turpentine oil than tliose actually obtained. Even if this method does not give tlie absolute amounts of volatile hydrocarbons, yet it certainly gives results very near tlie truth, and, what is more im])ortant, under the same ('onditions it gives constant results. Therefore, by employing strictly parallel conditions in the analysis of the differ- ent samples, results are obtained whiclicau be safely used as indices of comparison of the relative amounts of volatile hydrocarbons in the samples under analysis.

Method of dcsifinafion. — It was thouglit best to make a somewhat detailed analysis of a few bled and unbled trees in order to gain an insight into the quantitative distribution of turpentine in the trees. Each disk was divided into pieces of about thirty lings each, the heart and sapwood, being kept separate. The number of the disk is designated by a Tioman tigure, the kind of wood by either a for sajjwood or A for heartwood. The Arabic tigure which precedes the // or .v desig- nates the number of the piece counting for the sapwood from the bark, for the heartwood from the line of division between sap and heart.

Preparation of material. — The fir.st six tables give the results of what might be called "detail" analysis, where each piece of about tliirty rings has been analyzed separately. The material for analysis was jirejjared in the foUowiug way: A radial section oC the disk, about 1 to 2 incites thick, is selected. A piece of 1 inch is cut off transver.sely and the strij) is then divided into l)ieces of about thirty rings each. From the freshly cut transvei'se surface ahont 15 grams of thin shavings are ]>laned off and iilaced in a stoi>pered Itotth'. Tlie exact amount used for analysis, usually from 3 t(t 5 grams, is found by weighing the bottle before and after taking out the portion for analysis. The second set of tables, Yll to XII, inclusive, give the results of ''average" analy.sis. The nniterial for these analyses was obtained by mixing ctjual (inanlities of shavings from the corre- sponding j)ortions of several trees and taking for analysis an average sample of the mixture. The saj) wood fnrnished one analysis, and the heart wood was either analyzed as a whole or divided ii:to two i)ortions, l/( and 2h, if of considerable thickness. Xotes on Tablex I to XII. Each table contains a column "tralculated for wood free from moisture," giving the per cent of vf)latile hydrocarbons and rosin obtained by calculation from results actually found. Objections might be raised to this mode of interpreting the results. It miglit be said that the moisture in the 41 wood can not he disregarded because it is as mncli an essential proximate constituent of wood as the turpentine itself is. But since the analyses were not made soon after the trees had been felled, the moisture fonnd in the samples does Tiot represent the original moisture, uor does it represent e(|ual portions of it in all samples. Tlie numbers given iu the column '-water" are of course sug- gestive as to tlu- comparative degree of retention of moisture by the dilferent samples, since the latter were all exposed to about the same intlnences. lint it seemed best to compare the amouuts of volatile hydrocarbons and rosin on wood free from that variable constituent; the more so as some time elapsed between the analysis of the first and last samples. The last column in each table contains the ratio between the volatile hydrocarbons and rosin. This ratio is multiplied by 100 and means that for every 100 parts (tf rosin as many parts of the volatile hydrocarbons are found as is indicated in the colnmn. This ratio ( p ) is of little value in cases when the amount of turpentine is small, because a very small increase of the first con- stituent— an increase within experimental error — will change the (pioticnt considerably. An T increase of 0.07 per cent of volatile hydrocarbons in (iO, IV, l.v will bring up ,, from T.li to 10. A decrease of 0.07 iter cent in 5li, IV, li.v will chan< T from 25.20 to alxiut 10. These numbers are therefore of very litth> significance when api)lied to the sapwood of all samples, to entire tree.r»2, and to some parts of trees CO and 1, all of which show only small portions of turpentine. DISCUSSION IIF UESlTI/rS ( IIJTAINEI). Relation of rosin und rolatUe hydroi-dilmn to moisture. — The amount ol' moisture retained Ijy different samples does not seem to have any direct relation to the amount of oleoresin in these samjdes. Yet in the same tree, or rather in the different jiarts of the same disk, there seems to exist something like a relation of the two. This is especially noticeable iu tree No. r»3. The moisture retained seems to vary inversely with the amount of oleoiesin iu the sami)le. (Jompare for example in 5;5 11, Ih, 2/(, ."./(; in o.'! Ill, l/t, 2/i., .y*, 17/; in o;5 IV, 2//, 3/(, 1/;. The piece richest in oleoresin is generally the ])Oorest in moisture. But this is by no means a universal rule. Some trees show about the same per cent of moisture iu parts widely ilitt'eriiig from each other in the amounts of turpentine, and in many instances a snmller amount of turpentine is associated with a smaller ])er cent of moisture. S(iiin-oo(] (Old heartirood. — All the analyses, detail aiul average, show conclusively that the sap- wood is comparatively very poor in turpentine; it is inunatcrial whether it comes from a rich tree or a poor one, from a tapped tree or an untapped one. The turpentine in sapwood reaches 3 to 4 per cent in very rich trees, as in Nos. :>?,, (11, and 2; in the renuiining trees it is 2 to ;! jter cent.

Relation of volatile hydrocarbons to ronin.— As the turpentine in the tree is a solution of rosin in an essential oil, it will follow that the richer a tree is in turpentine the richer it will be in the constituents that go to nmke u)) this mixture. One would also expect that the ratio between the volatile hydrocarbons and rosin would be tolerably constant in the different i)arts of (he same tree. But the results of analysis do not indicate it. They show that this ratio increases with the 11500— No. 8 6 42 amount of rosin. A part of heartwood having twice as much rosin as another part will contain more than twice as much volatile products as the second part. This is true in a general sense of parts of the same disk, of parts of different disks in the same tree, and parts from different trees; there is no distinction in that respect between bled and unbled trees. This relationship can be formulated in the following way: The crude turpentine from heartwood rich in oleoresin, wUl yield a comparatively larger amount of turpeutine oil than the turpentine from heartwood poor in oleoresin. It has been shown that the heartwood grows poorer from Ih towards the pith of the tree. It T will therefore follow from what has been said in the preceding paragraph that — will also grow H smaller from Ih to the pith. The yield of volatile oil from a constant quantity of turpentine can be expressed in a general way by a graphic illustration similar to that which expresses the yield of total oleoi'esiu from different parts of tlie disk.

Relation, hctn^een (liffereitt (lisls of the .same tree. — There is no constant relation between the different disks of the same tree so far as the amount of oleoresin is concerned. Although the disks do vary from each otlier, the variation can not be connected with gravitation by virtue of which the lower disks would contain a larger amount of turpentine than the upper ones; for different trees vary from each other considerably in that respect, the variation being apparent in both bled and unbled trees. If a, b, c stand for the amounts of oleoresin in disks denoted by Roman numbers, the relative magnitudes being represented by the letters in the alphabetic order, then the results of analysis can be condensed in the following table for the trees denoted in Arabic numbers : 53 60 61 1 2 TV a b ffl c III i c a c b II c a b b a 43 It is evident that no constant relation, as to amounts of oleoresin, exists between the disks of the same tree. Comparison of tree 52 with 53. — These two trees were both supposed to have been sound, healthy trees at the time of felling, and yet they differ from each other as much as two trees could differ. The heartwood of one is very rich in turpentine, that of the other contains comparatively very small quantities, only a trace. How to explain this difference? Previous to felling they had both been tapi)ed for four consecutive years, consequently both must have contained considera- ble amounts of turpentine. Since the last tapping they stood for live years side by side, both exposed to the same influences. This great difference can not be traced directly to tapping, for tlie latter, it may be assumed, would have affected l)otli trees equally. The cause of the difference between 53 and 52 ought to be looked for, rather, in the condition of the two trees before tapping. In connection with this it would be interesting to know how much turpentine had each tree yielded when tapped. Comparison of tree 60 irith 61. — There is a decided difference l>etween the two trees. The highest numbers in 60 are 0.84 per cent for volatile hydrocarbons and 5.35 for I'osin, while in 61 0.75 and 5.67 are the lowest numbers for the corresponding constituents, the highest being 3.49 and 16.29, respectively. Here again we have two trees of about the same age, under apparently tlie same conditions of growth, tapjied at the same time and abandoned for the same length of time before felling, and yet differing very widely from each other. It is difficult to conceive why tap- ping should have aff"ected the heartwood of these two trees in such a strikingly different manner. If the assumption is made that the tapping had drained both trees equally, what explanation can be given for the fact that within only one year of abandonment one tree is very lich in turpentine, while the other has less than one- fourth as much? Comparison of trees 52 and 53 with (JO and 61. — Compare 53 and 01. Here we have two trees both very rich in turpentine, but while 53 had five years of rest after tapping, 01 had only one year. Had the tapping forced the trees to jiour out their oleoresin previously stt)red up in the heart, we should expect to tind in the time of rest the prime factor for a tree in resuming its natural condition. But, on the contrary, results of analysis show that time ol' abandonment before felling is of little importance. While we can have a tree very rich in turpentine within Ave years after tapping, we can also have trees rich and poor even within one year, and trees almost totally deprived of turpentine in the heartwood within Ave years after tapping. Comparison of 1 with 2. — These two trees had never been tapped, and yet neither is rich in turpentine. No. 2 contains about twice as much turpentine as No. 1, the difference becoming smaller as we go up the tree. The highest niimbcivs for 2 are 1.93 and 14.10 for T and B, respec- tively, the lowest O.SO and 5.89, with an average of about 1 and 7. We can say that there is as much difference between untapped trees as there is between trees that have been tappied. Average anah/ses. — The average analyses cover 16 trees; 13 trees furnish 4 sets of analyses of tapped trees, and 3 trees furnish 1 set of untapped. The results obtained are summarized in the following table : II. III. Remarks. r. 72. T j^X 100. 1 T. i Jt.

The heartwood of untapped trees is poorer in both volatile oil and rosin than that of tapped trees. And here again it is worthy of notice, that time of abandonment is of little importance to tapped trees. The trees that had been abandoned for one year are fully as rich as those that had live years to recover from tapping. Comparison of tapped with untapped trees. — If now the heartwood of tapped trees be com- 44 pared witb that of untapped, one is at a loss as to what conchisious should be drawn from so few analytical data. It is remarkable that the two richest trees and the poorest tree are among those that had been tapped. Of the remaining 19 trees there is no difterence between the 14 tapped and 5 untapped. Whatever differences are found among bled trees are equally found among those that have not been tapped. Indeed, from the study of the results of analysis the writer is of the opinion that the difi'erence in untapped trees is due to the same cause as the difference in trees that have been tapped. As stated on page 43, the cause of the difterence. among tapped trees can not be traced directly to tapping; it ought to be looked for, rather, in the condition of the trees previous to tapping. The difterence between trees 52 and 53 can be explained on the following hypothesis: 53 had been a rich tree fn)m early growth, and had a large amount of turpentine stored up in the heart- wood ; 52 for some reason or other had very little stored away. When the two trees were subjected to tapping they gave up whatever turpentine they had in the supirood and whatever they t^ould produce from season to season, till at the end of four years the production became too small in amount and too poor in ([uality. The trees were then abandoned. But tree Xo. .53 hail its oleo- resin in the heartwood untouched, while Xo. 52 had hardly any before tapping, and for the same unknown cause did not store away any in the heartwood since the tree had been abandoned. The explanation offered in the preceding paragraph gains still more probability when trees CO and 01 are compared with each other and also with 52 and .53. The dift'eience between 1 and 2, the results of average analyses, all these are very suggestive of the theory that the sap and not the heart of the tree supplies the turpentine \vhen the tree is tajiped. The fact that the heartwood of trees felled one year after tapping is fully as rich or as poor as that of trees felled five years after tapping seems to the writer of especial signiticauce, for it shows that the richness of the heart- wood in a tapped tree is independent of time of rest before felling. It is a well known fact that when a pine tree is cut transversely, liquid turpentine immediately appears on the fresh surface of the sapwood, while the heartwood remains perfectly clear. It would seem as if the turpentine iu the sap is far less viscid than that in th<', heart of a tree. It is prob- able that the turpentine in the sap is richer in volatile hydrocarbons than that in the heart. [A difterence of cell structure and manner of existence of oleoresiiis may also account for this ditter ence iu part. — B. E. F.| It is generally stated that crude turjjentine as obtained on a large scale yields from 10 to 25 T per cent of volatile oil. This gives p = 11.11 to 30, with an average of over 20. This average is T somewhat higher than that for the p as found for the turpentine from heartwood of the 21 trees analyzed. Although experimental data are wanting to show conclusively that the difi'erence in the consistency of the oleoresin from sapwood and heartwood is due to a difference in the relative amount of volatile oil, yet it is <[uite jn-obable that this should be the cause. The oleoresin in the heartwood of trees has been produced for the most part when the heartwood was yet sa|)wood. Therefore that part of turpentine which is found iu the heartwood is the (jldest in age, and con- sequently has been exposed the longest to oxidizing influences of air, which gradually rei)lacethe water when the sajiwood changes to heartwood. It is the same kind of oxidation and of thick- ening whicli takes jdaee when crude turpentine is exposed to the air and sun, or when a fresh T cut is made in the bark of a tree. It is probably for the same reason that ^ becomes smaller as we approaeh the pith of the tree, because the i»arts nearest the pith are the oldest. It is diflicult to conceive how the thick oleoresin of the heartwood could be made to flow towards the incision when a tree is tapped. It is also ditticult to explain by what means the tree could change this thick turpentine into a less viscid solution in ftrder that it may flow toward the wound. One would. iudge, a priori, from the great difference in the consistency of the turi)entine in the heart and sap that only the liquid turi)entine will flow when a tree is tapped. Tapping will then have little eft'ect, if any, upon the oleoresin stored \\\> in the heartwood of the tree. A tree wliosc heartwood is rich in turpentine will remaiu so after tapping. 45 The writer is not willing to generalize too hastily from so few results and consider them as a solution of the problem. A large number of aualyses devoid of the possibility of chance selection of samples is lu^'cssary b(!fore a positive or a negative answer can be given to the queslion, Does the tappiug of trees for turpentine attect the subsequeut chemical comxjosition of theheartwoodi! But, however few in number the results are, they admit of the following couclusious: (1) Trees that have been tapped can still contain very much turpeiitiue in the hcartwood. (2) Trees that have beeu abandoned for only one year before felling can contain fully as much turpentine in the heartwood as trees that have been abandoned for five years. (3) Trees that have not been tapped at all do not necessarily contain more turpentine in the heartwood than trees that have been tapped. The accompanying diagram (page 46) serves to show what proportion of each disk was involved in each of the detail aualyses, and the results in each (;ase. The right-hand vertical line represents the pith of the tree, the horizontal lines represent the radial extension of each disk as numbered by ronian number, the position of the disk in the tree being maintained as in natuie, IV being the top, II the lower, and III the intervening disk. The subdivisions of radii represent the actual divisions of the disk to scale of one-half natural size, the portions to the left of the heavy subdivision line representing sapwood .s 1 and s 2; the portions to the right hcaitwood hi,h.,, divided according to the method as indicated on page 41. The four columns of figures over each disk piece represent results pertaining to that piece; they stand in order from the top for (1) number of rings, (2) T volatile hydrocarbons, (3) rosin, (4) ratio ^ ; (2) and (3) as calculated on wood free from moisture. For instance, for tree No. 53, disk IV, s 2, we find — 40 =Nniiiber of rings. 0.40 =Per cent of volatile hydrocarbons. 3. 81 = Per cent of rosin. 10.37 = -^. 46 Tree No. 53. 37. 0.18 0.97 18.39 40. 0.40 3.81 10.37 I 30. 0.46 3.96 11.
