(4) The strength of wood decreases when steamed while the modulus 

 of elasticity increases. 



(5) Wood with many year rings is stronger than that with few. 



(6) As to the location of the heart of the wood in relation to 

 strength, the best results were obtained when the heart of the wood 

 was placed above, and the poorest when it was placed below. 



(7) Woods of different species having different deflection can be 

 arranged as follows (see Table) according to deflection. 



(8) Different wood species are arranged in the Table to their strength. 



(9) The woods of different species tested differ in their moduli of 

 elasticity as can be learnt from the Table. 



(10) The amount of work done by different woods divided by 

 the respective deflections at the moment of rupture are arranged as 

 in Table.
