Historical Data Wanted on Wooden Pipe Intact After Old Windiammer Sixty-one Years

Eastport. Maine, Ian. 31.-The Seaport Navigation Comp"rry, b*tt.rs of the "Brilliant," the oldest documented '"".i"t under continuous record in the Commerce Depart*.ttt'r Bureau of Navigation' is requesting all possible historical data on the former wind-jammer.

Tihis old sailing vessel was built of sturdy north woods timbers back in 1835. Beams and boards making up the ftJt tt"ro" been repaired many times since it was built but il is still in activi service ilthough it now uses a small motor in place of the sail rig.

An interesting construction characteristic of those early vessels, accordiig to A. J. Tyrer, Commissioner of the Bu,e"u oi Navigation, is the fact that they were almost as *ia" ru to",g: The 'Brilliant" was 44 leet long, with a l5-foot beam-, making it safe but slsw.

C. H. KEMPER ON EASTERN TRIP

C. H. Kemper, sales manager of the Clover Valley Lumbeilco., Loyalton, Calif., hai bee-n- on !t-n eastern business ttip fe visited Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Boiton and other eastern lumber centers.

Racine, Wis., Jan. 31.-A street excavation here uncovered six sections of wooden gas mains, laid in 1869, when the gas was "the thing" in street and residence il'lumination. Despite the fact that the pipe has remained underground sixty-one years the texture of the wood is not affected. It is thought to be either ,cedar or yellow pine.

Wood ring joints, strengthened by iron bands act as joints for the sections. The pipes have a six-inch bore, and were tapped by smaller iron pipes which conveyed the gas to the various users along the line. The iron piping suffered from the ravages of time much more than the wood mains. The latter were treated with some tar compound.
