HIGHLY IMPORTANT INVENTION IN
RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.
An important INVENTION connected with the formation of the
permanent way of railway lines (which has been proved on one of
the principal lines in Lancashire), is, for the satisfaction of the pa-
tentee, and for confirmation of its adaptation for the purposes pro-
posed, undergoing the severest test as to form of construction and
trial of strength for durability, which, when completed, a report
will be published of the result of the test by a scientific gentleman of
eminence. The invention will effect-1. A very considerable saving
in the formation of the permanent way, by entirely superseding the
use of wood sleepers, loose chairs, treenails, and spikes. 2. The
laying of the line can be accomplished al a very diminished amount
of labour and cost in comparison with the mode at present adopted.
3. The future maintenance of the permanent way may be reduced
fully one-half of the present cost. A scientific report will be fur-
nished in a few days, and the patentee has considered it desirable
to adopt this expedient to intimate to railway boards somewhat of
the advantages of the invention, that railway companies about to
contract for sleepers, chairs, Ecc., may defer such arrangements for
a short period.
All communications to be addressed to Mr. Joseph Adshead, 35,
George-street, Manchester.

without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy,
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
