EFFECTS OF COLD ON RAILROAD MAcH1Nrp,

EFFECTS OF COLD ON RAILROAD MACHINERY. The Railroad Journal says that the last win ter was ruinously severe for railroad operations. and several of the lines above latitude 45 de- grees suffered extensively in the breakage of iron axles chairs, tires, and wheels.
 On the Vermont Central railroad, in aperiod of two months, 76 wrought-iron tires were burst and broken; while during the whole winter 43 driving-wheel centres, 12 cranks, and "A con- meeting rods, besides large number of axles, were also broken. For three months the road bed was frozen as hard as a rock, and hardly run through without some failure of machi- nery. The New York Central, during the same time, suffered proportionately.
 The Journal advises companies whose roads and machinery are subject to such depreciation to lay down continuous stringers, six inches deep, below the rails, and upon the tops of the sleepers, which would be likely to preserve the required elasticity of the track, support the joints, and raise the rails above dangerous con- tact with the frozen ground. The expense of this would not exceed what the damage by brea- kage now costs

The Do-Nothings.

A meeting of this society was held lately.
 Sam Lazybones took the chair.
 Bill Loaferson was the vice president.
 The secretary made his report. He observed that at the last meeting nothing had been done according to the constitution of the society.
 Jim Vacuum offered to make motion, but did not move from his seat. He observed that it was the destiny of man to work. The pre- sent order has been founded for the encourage ment of idleness A new member was wait ing to be initiated.
 The president said, "Let him come in.'
 The new member was carried in on four post bedstead, after giving the password, Er nihslo mshat it.
 The president administered the oath of eter- nal laziness, and desired the candidate for ad- mission into the order to repeat it after him. The candidate waited till the president had fin- ished, and the said "Ditto."
 The vice president asked the candidate W wheth- CT he would take drink
 The candidate nodded and opened his lips.
 "The secretary will now read to you the rules of the society,"" said the president.
 The caddidate shut his eyes and fell asleepin an instant
 Hell dol" said the president approvingly.
 "Yes," said the vice president, "he'll do- nothing"
 The members name was enrolled, and he was reused up to pay his subscription.
 He did nothing of the kind. Nothing else took place. Nothing more was said. Noth- ing more was said. We know nothing more.
