When timl>er is constantly under wa¬ iter, the action of water dissolves  a  ()or- tion of its subsiance, which is made ap- ji parent by its becoming covered  with a coat of slime.    If it be exposed to alter¬ nations of dryness and moisture, as  in the case of piles in tidal   water.s, the dis- i solved parts being continually  removed by evaporation and action ofthe  water, new surface are exposed, and the wood rapidly decays.
Where timber is exposed to heat and moisture, the albumen or gelatinous mat- [ ter in the sapwoo.i! speedily putrefies and decomposes, causing what is called rot. The rot in timber is commonly divided into two kinds, the wet and dry, but the cliief diflerence between them is, that where ihe timlier is expo.sed to the air, the gaseous products are freely evapora¬ ted ; whiliit, in a confined situation, they combine in anew form, viz: tlie dry-rot fungus, which, deriving its nourishment from the decaying timber often grows to a length of many feet, spreading in every direction, and insinuating its delicate fibres even thiough the joints of brick walls.
Ill aijdition fo the sources of decay above mentioned, tiinber placed in sea water is very liable to be completely des¬ troyed by the perforation of the worm, unless protected by copper sheathing.
