Attention has been called to one of the
greatest novelties in the construction OF
street railroads Glass sleepers, intro
duced by Mr. Lindsay BGciSill and Mr.. W
Siemen. of DresIe. have been tried with
such satisfaction that it is now proposed
to make broad, longitudinal sleepers
of glass, having groove in the upper sur
face. and SO combining in theInsei ,'es the
functions of both sleepers and rails. This
would do away with the necessity for
separate iron rails. with their tastenings
and other complications In a paper by
Dr. Schutt it is shown that by properly
tempering glass with oil this very brittle
substance "can be made, mass for mass,
stronger than steel, and practically I'M
breakable." This being the fact, may we
not soon expect TO see railroads using
large quantities of this plentiful sub
stance for rails and for other purposes for
which iron is now r3ed?-St. Louis Re
