OUR DEBT TO ANCIENT INVESTIGATORS.
It was an eminent French mathem stician who repraved one of his pupils for commencing a demonstration with "It is known that." "Quite trüe " was the comment." "But who taught us the fact! We are, perhaps, all too prone to accept as a matter of course. our inheritance as heirs of all the ages, and to be slow to recognize the immen- sity of our debt to bygone generations of investigators. Their work may have bena conducted with crude appliances, such as to excite the contemps of the youthful student in a modern labora tory, and their rough approximations. have long been superseded by figures obtained later by men often of smaller mental calibre, and there is thua mach danger that es time, goes on evers important pioneering work many fade into oblivion. It is well therefore that we should occasionally be presented with such sa bistorical survey of certain fields of research as that with which Professor Unwin opened his Thomas Hawkley lecture on "The Mechanical Properties of Materials," which ba delivered to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers last Friday, The task could not possibly have fallen into better bands A Fairbairn's staletant, Prof. Unwin was sociated with much of the pioneering in this field, and Iris extensive reading and well known familiarity with foreign 4 well as domestic investigations, combined with his practical knowledge, eminently. St ted him for the taska AMLAMA
Galileo, the lecturer stated, was the first to experiment on the strength of materials. This bo.did in 1638. Some ninety years later in 1729 Muschenbrook published the results of a whole series of determinations of the tensile strength of materials which he had carried out at Leyden Prof. Unwin showed to the meating illustrations of the kind of specimens and of the clipa aed in these experiments A noticeable feature was the use of square shoulders between the bodies and render of the this specimens, which, apart from defect, wers of yery much the same shape as that used to-day. The type Was certainly a great improvement co those (also illustrated by the lecturer) csed by Fontenelle in 1703: On the theoretical side: Robert Hooke foran Iated his famous law in 1638, and Young delaed his elastic modulus, in 1807. The familiarity of these latter names in comparison with the general ignorance of the above-mentioned ex- perimental work of Gables, Fontenelle abd Mandenbroek, illustrater and Fhow much contribu
