The Different Connection of Particles

It seems there might be a misunderstanding, as "The Different Connection of Particles" is not a recognized work by Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy, a renowned Russian author, is best known for his novels "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." If you are looking for information on a specific aspect of his literature or another title, please provide more details, and I'll be happy to help!

								
Why are cart bolsters cut and wheel naves turned not from oak, but from
birch? Bolsters and naves have to be strong, and oak is not more
expensive than birch.

Because oak splits lengthwise, and birch does not split, but ravels out.

Because, though oak is more firmly connected than birch, it is connected
in such a way that it splits lengthwise, while birch does not.

Why are wheels and runners bent from oak and elm, and not from birch and
linden?

Because, when oak and elm are steamed in a bath, they bend and do not
break, while birch and linden ravel in every direction.

This is again for the same reason, that is, that the particles of the
wood in the oak and in the birch are differently connected.
