DETERIORATION or WROUGHT IRON AxLEs.-Since
the Paris Railroad accident, much discussion has RI
sen 70 the character Of iron and mode Of manuac-
turc Of axles II is cntended that those axles which
have broken apparently from flaw in the iron, have
IN reality become changed throughout their mass
that the bous structure Of wrought iron is changed
in course Of time into CRYSTALLINE and brittle grain
and that these changes occur in the best made
axles and in the best quality Of ron and that they
arc produced by long continued use.
How far these assertions arc correct it is difficult
10 saw the interest of manufacturers is 10 shorten
much as possible the period during which an axle can
be worked with safety the other hand IT is pro-
babe that the consumers are willing TO believe that
the longest possible period that be named is more
near the truth. Some OF the statements made in
foreign Journals evidently influenced in the man
ner first named. Still we should be cautious about
denying that any change Of this kind does take place
as Il Is we'll known that similar gradual passage 10
the CRYSTALLINE structure is known TO take place in
other metals aud alloys 1t is not unlikely that the
vibration throughout the iron caused by the constant
jar Of passing the rails, may produce the change
with rapidly.
A writer in the Civic Engineer and Architects
Journal gave in conformation Of this theory the state.
mcnts Of a French manufacturer Of great expcrl-
cnce. This gentlemen has arrived at the conclusion
that an axle can only safely about IS 900 miles
afer that time it "a his constant practice to take II
out, place u between two new bars Of iron, and
WELD the whole together into n new axle. He also
states that when paved roads are passed over the DIS
lance run is not great to produce the same effects
and that according to his experience the wear Of the
collar is direct measure Of the length Of time during
which the axlcs may be considered safe.-.lmer can
