RAILROAD STANDARD GAUGE.
". Y. Sun


correspondent asks: "Why was the standard
guage of railroads fixed at feet 81 inches? What
was the scientific reason for adopting the fraction
of an inch p
"Mr. FELTON,, Vice President OF the New York,
Lake Erie aud Western Railroad, replies: "There
is no scientific or any other reason for it, except
precedent and custom. In fact, all the scientific
practical considerations that can enter into the
question are against it. When Mr.. Stephenson
built his first locomotive, he for some reason best
known to himself built it to the guage of the old
tramways-for vehicles drawn by horses-in Eng
land, which was feet 81 inches. That became
what was known as the marrow gauge" in Eng
land, and was naturally followed in this country
to o very great extent Some of our roads have
guage of feet 81 inches, others feet 81 inches
and still others 4 feet 9 inches. In England thew
have 6 foot "broad" guage, and at one time
for very little while, tried foot guage. The
Erie road, built originally by English capital
was at first foot gauge, but in 1876 the chang
ing of it to feet 81 inches was begun and now it
is all of that gauge. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company uses a gauge of 4 feet inches, because
that is compromise gauge between the former
gauge of feet 81 inches on its eastern lines and
feet 10 inches on its roads west of Pittsburgh
1t would be well if the feet 81 inches gauge
could be widened little, to enable greater width
OF the fire boxes of locomotives, and consequently
more powerful engines, such as it would be desr-
able to employ"

Mysterious Noises.
Scientific American.


Apropos of ghosts and haunted houses the ex-
perience of one of the members of the Seybert in
vestigation committee is rather interesting. He
is professor at the University of Pennsylvania
and resides in the suburbs of Philadelphia. At a
certain hour each day one of the windows in his
house rattles quite violently and this entirely in
dependent of wind and weather. Naturally, the
gentleman was considerably puzzled at the phe-
nomenon, for while there was absolutely no visi-
BILE cause apparent, each day brought this mani
festation of activity on the part of his otherwise
quiet window. He determined to discover the
cause, and thought at once of the railroad which
ran but short distance from his home He
found, however, that no trains were in the vicin-
ity at that time of day. The recurrence of the
him with the belief that it must have connec-
ton with some well observed time table, that he
pushed his Investigations further, and included
another railroad several miles distant On COM
pairing his observation with the train schedule
the significant fact was discovered that heavy
train passed spot within two or three miles of
the house at about the same time that the window
ratified. Following this clew, he examined the
rock formations, and found that an outcropping
ledge which received the full force of the train vi
brations came to an end Immediately under his
window. This gave a satisfactory explanation
of phenomenon which in the hands of a less in
vestigatve person would have been sufficient foun-
dation for q mild ghost story.

Seasoning Stones.
j. Gowans, an the Architect.

u. uOUuHSj Z" We hFc"tect'
A consideration in the use of stone for impor-
tant buildings is that of having it quarried,
stored, and seasoned for some time before being
hewn and placed in the walls. By these means
the natural sap is allowed to evaporate, and the
stone tested as to its quality. This would add to
the cost, but the money would be well spent if
this precaution prevented the wasting of stones
from the rains, frosts, or atmospheric influences
which, especially in our cities, soon act on the
surface of newly quarried stone Stone that is
quarried the one day and built in the next is in q
green state, and unfit for 1t is not in condi-
tion-it is at its weakest-its pores are open and
ready to absorb, not only moisture, but the CASE
Gus and disfguring influences which tend to its
destruction. Every newer knows that to get a
polished surface on stone that has lain for some
time is very different from what BE gets on one
fresh fom the quarry, and this of itself should be
sufficient evidence to warrant the precauton I
have recommended, which is to thoroughly season
the stone before using.
