THE CULTURE OF TIES.
How the Railways are Supplied In tn
Nutmeg State.

How the Railways are Supplied In the
Nutmeg State.
The business OF getting out railway ties,
says the Hartford Post, has grown into
mammoth industry in this little State of
Connecticut. Millions of them are cut
down, sawed up, and distributed every
year. The deyOuring demon of the rail-
way is thinning our forests, but perhaps
not more rapidly than the wonderful en-
ergy Of nature can make good. Chestnut
and oak are to his taste; the less hardy
growths he eschews. An owner of chest
nut trees, when he can enter upon the
work to advantage, starts in with his
mills, making arrangements with the rail-
ways TO take his product at the most con-
yenient station. Way up in the woods
the saws buzz and the noise of the work
lngman disturbs the primeVal solitude.
The wood thrush and the crow, the black
bird and the woodpecker, the cat bird and
the WhIp-poor-will have a new burden to
their life.
Two of these sawmills are located in the
woods, about five miles to the north of
Westbrook, the point at which they are
shipped to many points in this and other
States. Some Of the ties 90 to California.
As the life of the tie is not more than
seven years, the demand is very large and
widespread. Only few are Of oak, the
great majority being of chestnut. When
ties are cut out of either kind of wood
there are remnants out of which lumber
is made. 1t is stacked up for the market,
and finds ready sale.
AT the shipping point an Overseer is
located. He supervises the work of the
teamsters who bring up the ties and sees
that the cars are properly loaded from the
accumulated stock. Huge piles of ties
are always at the station. and the over
seer becomes such a permanent fixture
that he builds cabin for himself right
on the spot. The cabin at Westbrook is
made Of rough boards, after the usual
style, has good though small sash
windows and a strong door, and, to
serve for chimneys, a lot of stove
pipe. The interior contains a COM
Portable bunk, stove, a table,
crockery orderly disposed, and cooking
utensils. The good-natured overseer,
who permitted the interior view, had been
resting, waiting for the teams to come
up" he said. He was pleasantly COM
municative. II have been here three
years. My home is in Brooklyn, but l
came from Syracuse. l had no idea there
was so much poor land in Connecticut.
There seems to be nothing but hills. stony

The telegraph has announced that
Lieut.. A. R. Gordon, r. N, Deputy Super
intendent of the Canadian meteorological
service, embarked on July %, with a corps
Of observers, for the Hudson Straits ex-

return home. Their winter life on these
desolate shores promises to be a rather
lonely one.
