Strength of Wood and Superstitions Across Time
An OCR fragment discusses wood seasoning and fiber saturation, noting moisture loss hardens wood, reaches fiber saturation, and increases strength under controlled drying. It compares spruce and other woods, cites a Washington Star summary, and mentions forest service material on wood strength. It then shifts to superstitions about cures by touching, hangman’s privilege in England, and beliefs around rope knots and handkerchiefs, concluding with farming scenes of mole catching and field observations.
