New RAnLRoAp INvESrIoN.-George

IL NNehe
of the Central Pacific Railroad, and at
:. present section boss on the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad, has invented n
railroad switch chair, which is destined
TO prove of great value and convenience
to railroad men, and add to the COM
fort of passengers. The new chair Is
now in use on the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad. 1t contains three
sliding steel blocks beveled into the
Tugs Of the chair, the outer one being
screwed down to prevent them moving
backward and forward, the blocks
forming, or being adjusted to, the ends
Of the two stationary rails so rs to fit
the end of the movable rail. One Of
these blocks Is two inches thick, M Is
one inch, and one is half an inch in
thickness. which, by shifting. gives
seven different lengths to the rail. thus
accommodating the greatest expansion
and contraction Of the track. The cost
of these blocks Of steel is only twelve
and a half cents per pound. The i'll
Vention Of Mr.. Scougale has been Sc
cured by caveat and brought to the
attention of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company, which has adopted 1t,
and It Is destined to become one Of the
most useful inventions of the age. So
says the Carson Register.
