American Va. English Rails.

The Engineer, a London publication,
publishes an elaborate article on the
manufacture of rails, in which it is stat
ed that the rails made for the American
market are inferior to all others. The
general run of American rails has been
from fifty-six to sixty-five, and few of
them, seventy pounds to the yard. The
section may be described as o bastard
form of MIR. Vignoles's rail. The depth
until within very few years-and we
write with upwards of seventy sections
before us-was seldom more than three
and half inches, nor the base wider
than three and three-quarter inches,
while the stem, what there was of it,
was three-quarter inches, expanding
into balloon-shaped head, generally
fiat on the top, and altogether so stumpy
and steep at the sides as to make any
attempt at useful splicing quite out of
the question. The rail was almost as
easy to roll as square bar, it was almost
always made from pile but six inches
square, the draw or ratio of reduction
for a sixty pound rail being thus but six
to seven, and such things ss tests and
wholesale reflections in case of defects
were not thought of by the gentlemen
who were only too happy to get rails Of
nable T. o. US. The inferiority of the
rails furnished the American market Is
explained by the fact that they are often
paid for in bonds of even greater inferi-
ority in value. The article admits that
better rails are made in this country
than in England for ordinary purposes,
and that, as general thing, American
rails will compare fsvorably with the
best rails made in Staffordshire.

remarks addressed to the Baltimore in

"All was gone unless the Constitution

far mere dazzling for him than fields Of
carnage or scenes of blood through his

life had not been paved with the crani-
ums of his fellow-countrymen.- nor had
the bridges over which he crossed been
fi0ered with the mutilated limbs Of his
fellow-citizens. He had followed always
the path of peace. He was proud that

RuSsfnE,

The slow combustion Of metals is call
ed rusting, and the oxide formed is call
ed dust. All the familiar metals, except
silver, gold and platinum, are tarnished
ON exposure to the air; that is, they be-
come covered with film of rust or oxide.
That heat is developed by rusting, SIS
by other kinds of slow combustion, n
shown by the fact that, If a large pile OF
iron filings be moistened and exposed to
The action of the air so that they rust
rapidly, the temperature rises percepti-
bly,. A remarkable case of heat devel-
oped by rusting occurred in England dur
ing the manufacture Of submarine
electric cable. The copper wire of the
cable was covered with gutta-percha, tar
and hemp,a and the whole inelosedi IL acas-
ing of iron wire. The cable, as it was
finished, was coiled in tanks filled with
water; these tanks leaked, and the water
was therefore drawn off, leaving about
one hundred and sixty-three nautical
miles of the cable coiled in mass thirty
feet in diameter with space in the
centre six feet in diameterl and eight
feet high. 1t rusteI so rapidly that the
in the center OF the coil rose
in four days from So to 79o, though the
of the air did not rise above
$50 during the period, and was as low as
590degrees during q part of the time
The mass would have been even hotter
had it not been cooled by pouring on

Granted to- J. NJ. Goulding in 1925, for an
2imnroyenaent in the mode of manufac.
turing wool and other fibrous material, I"
| ia imnortant. Tais patent was reissued
| in 1855. and expired in 1S40. In 1885,
twenty-five years after the patent had
expired, Goulding succeeded in having
an act of Congress passed for his reiief,
which renewed and extended his patent
seven yesrs from that date, with the pro-
yiso, however, that such renewal and
extension shall not have the effect or be
construed to constrain persons who may
be using the machinery invented by
said Goulding at the same time of the
renewal and extension hereby author
lied, or subject them to any claim for
having used the same. This extrasrdi-
nary legislation on patent which had
expired nearly quarter of century be-
fore was eclipsed by the action ofthe uni
ted States Patent Office in reissuipg the
patent, giving to Goulding an exclusive
property in said woolen machinery. 1t
was under this reissue that Eben ID. Jsur.
dan, the assignee of Goulding, sued the
Agawam Company for an infringement
of the patent, and his success involves

Mr.. F. w. Bryant, president Of the
British Society of Engineers, in his in
augural address thus referred to Amerf-
can engineering performances: In rail-
way and bridge works, American engin-
eers have proved themselves remarkable
for their boldness of design and rapidity
of execution. Take, for instance, the
suspension bridge thrown across the Nj
agara River last year, which has the
tremendous span of upward of ,29Oft.,
or nearly double the width of the center
,pan of the late Hungerford Suspension
Bridge. And we read of still greater
>pans as being proposed and probably
carried out Then there is the proposed
bridge over the Mississippi at st. Louis,
which will be novelty in bridge build
ing, as it will consist of three arches
constructed in steel, the center span OF
which will be 2l5ft., or some 35ft.,
wider than twice the span Of the center
lrch of Southwark Bridge. Some Of the
railways have been constructed with
great rapidity (altheugh it must be
borne in mind that the style of work is
totally different to that prevailing in
England, and great ingenuity has been
shown by the maner in which American
engineers have passed their railways
over most difficult countries. Both in
North and South America there is vast
field for engineering enterprise in all its
Also in Canada it is known
there are many important works requir-
'd that sooner or later must be carried

A laboring man in the neighborhood
fell into drunkenness through poverty
and want of employment. In reforming

Mr.. Haynes, warden of the Massachu-

recently published, says that during the
eleven years that he has been connected
with the institution. twenty-one per-
sons have been imprisoned for killing
their wives, twofor killing their fathers,
and one for killing his mother. OF these
twenty-four, all but enc were not only
habitual drunkards but actually drunk
when they committed the crime. And
he also remarks that "these were not bad
men, except when under the influence
of liquor; and yet, justice can make no
distinction. but holds him equally guilty
who commits crime under such circum-
stances as the one who soberly and with
intellect unclouded violates the law

Down at Downey, Iowa-a live little
town near Davenport-the other day,
the girls organized a new method OF
get ing rid of whisky. 1t seems that
their beaux have been so naughty as to
use the fluid once ina while; and the
girls, aside from their strict temperance
proclivities, didn't like the smell of the
vile stuff on their lovers breaths-and
very sensible aIe they to think so. Find
ing that the dealer in the tangleleg had
sent for new supply, they waited till it
arrived, when they went to him and
asked him what he would take for the
whole lot. He told his price; they pro-
duced the amount forthwith, and then
had high time knocking in the heads
of the casks and turning the abOminable
contents upon the ground. Ifthese beanx
don't take the hint from that. and stop
drinking whisky, we are in favor of

to Downey to marry those glorious girls.

The Solar Engine, invented by q
Frenchman named Mouchot, it is re-
ported has proved successful. The ap-
paratrs is described as follows: A con-
cave reflector is used To concentrate the
sunshine on q boiler blackened with
smoke, and it is computed that in the
latitude Of PARIS the heat reflected from
a surface OF a square metre, or 10. 75
square feet, will make quart of water,
taken at the freezing point, boil in ten
minutes. By the sane calculation, it is
asserted, that an area of 100squsre metres
will furnish as much heat in ten hours
as can be got from burning sixty pounds
of coal. In tropical regions, it is believ-
ed, the amount would be still greater.
