Chomlstry ball is slowly, wasting away Into thin 4'in ' The building Is decomposing and returning to mother oarth, whonco its component Sparta originally camo. Such is the startling, statomont by a university professor mado beforo ono of his classes- re cently. Tho building will not float away la a mist of roso-colorod clouds. Tb4: prediction is not of this mythical ordor, but is based oh purely sclen tlilc facts. Tho foundation stones,' tho window' sills; and other parts of the building, which' are' composed of the- gray colored material, are slowly crumbling and washing away. No Immediate Danger. Thero is ne Immediate danger, how-, over, and in all probabilities experi ments and lectqres will be conducted within the walls of Chemistry hall for years to come. But some day this washing and crumbling will reach a point whore it will become dangerpwi to. inhabit tho building.. At preseat tho foundation stones appear of dark gray color and of the same slsa that tbey were last year or tho year hoforo or years before. , But on cloe- ;r inspection Uiey will be found to bo soft and crumbling on the exter ior. Beneath a coating of soft grat' tho original llgbt stone' may be die-' dosed. As the rali falls upon Uk softened exterior .coating It Is slowly washed off, exposing a fresher sur face which in .turn decomposes and is .washed away. Thoagh the action li slow it is inevitable. I Thp reason for -this is not hard to dlscovor. It appears "that the stone coapbeiBg those parts ofT,th building whleh are wasting away far what Is known as rice-stone. This' Btoiie ig composed of little hard par ticles, somewhat resembling grainW of rlco, imbedded in softer material. It fg tbieTselt material which Is was'Ung.'away.. As it crumbles these? little rice, particles', loslBg their su iport, also crumble and the entire pro cessf goes on year after year, the chemistry buildlHg Is doomed.
