The effect of palnton wet timber is to

ever, a mistake to paint unseasoned
timber in a bridge until it has stood a

the end of the summer, when the wood
is thoroughly dry.

retain moisture, there has been some
dispute as to the advisability of paint?

tendency of tbe paint being to Increase

It is not considered good practice,

strength ls required. In caps, beams,
cords, braces, etc., a sufficient number
of pieces, of this or less thickness,
should be built together by keys, paek
Beea and bolts, thus allowing a
rculation of air. Over members
thus composed should be placed a cov?
