Of. these hemp is the most serviceable, because of its strength, suppleness, flexibility 'and durability.

First,: the fibres of the hemp. are "loosely twisted . together, and form -what is technically 'known 4 as yarn When ih or three yarns are twisted together 'they form a strand: | three strands form: a: rope, and three ropes-a- cable. The ropes, J are, in their turn, subjected to a var- ! liety of processes in order to ins ure 1 thelr being combined [into a cable: a Tope | ing the 158) the strands, were twisted one way only they would, untwist themselves, is by compressing and twist- ver, advantage is taken in the mak- ing of 'rope' of this tendency to un- twist; by laying strands. together that have. been twisted in opposite direc- tions, | producing a compact, hard, strong 'tion of itswparts; neither. breaking the i on.the one hand, by over twist- ing, nor leaving them' so looge as to gily. drawn out from the mass e pther; either: would-be equally nits results, and: injurious to the stability of the rope. As a broad general rule it should be borne in mind that the loss of bearing power by twisting is almost ane-third; but the tighter twisted ropes gain in dur- ability what they lose in power. A J twist of four-fifths of the length of the component yarns gives one-third more bearing power than if twisted the ordinary. twist of ropes in use. The Feakoning effect of knots in nn 35 to 50 per cent., according to the gradual or abrupt bending in the- formation of the knot. At the pend of' the knot the strain is no longer equally distributed among the fibres, the outside ones being unduly strained, eventually rupturing, throw- ing the load on the few remaining a gradual bend. § therefore, in its formation; badly constructed knots ~Ishould be avoided. A knowledge. of the strength of ropes, and of their breaking weight, e inch in 'diameter has Aan ultimate strength of. about 6,000 pounds; 'and 'its safe working strength ig about 800 pounds. A manilla rope is slightly stronger. _ For calculating the strength of ropes, a simple rule is 'rope in inches by itself, and one- fifth For & xample; if a rope be three inches in elreumference, 3X3: 9, the fifth of . such. a rope will sustain. hen ropes get wet they-should be | hus g up to dry, either in the sun, or by! artificial medns; not on any ac- count. should they. be stored .before wliere no air ean get to them. .
