INDUSTRIAL INTELLIGENCE.

IRoN AND RUBBER TRACk.-Ar ii. Carpenter OF
Brooklyn has recently invented form OF iron cross
tie for railroad tracks, which will probably prove a.
ost indie sructable by time and, by allowing grass to
GROW over the whole surface Of railroad will nd the
psssengers Of the dust The ties are TO rest on foun.
dation of stone, and to be cast with hollow upright
CYLINDER at each end to receive punger or loosely
fitting piston on the top Of which piston Is cast
chair to csrry the rail- The punger does not rect d.
rectly upon the bottom Of the cylinder, but Is sus
tanned upon thickoees of inch or more OF india
rubber previously introduced - that, although the
iron tie and cylinders may be supposed to be perfectly
finn the support to the ri- Is quite elastic considera
blymoIe 50 than with the ordinary wooden ties few
lengths Of rail supported in this manner have been lad
down on a turn -out on the New-lork end Ere road,
ud the difference in the smoothness can be very SEN
sibly felt in riding over it. The elasticity obtained by
this arran2, men is very desirable quality, as tends
,erv much TO diminish the conclusions and increase
The durability not Only Of the track itself but aso OF
the rolr masses travelling over 1t.
