Bamloo will form poles s tcty-flve to seventy feet long and from eight to ten inches in diameter. A derrick, twenty-six feet high, made of four inch bamboo poles raised two iron girders weighing together four hundred and twenty-four pounds. The wonderful lightness of this material in proportion to its Rtren^th has excited comment of late, and new uses are constantly being made of it. Scaffoldings of bamboo have the advantage of lightness and Btrength. It is predicted that this material will come into general use for such purposes. Mammoth Gan Casting.
