Simple Device for Measuring Their
Supporting Strength.
"Haye you ever noticed" said a S.
Louisan yesterday to n reporter for the
Republic of that city, those massive
iron pillars now standing erect in the
basement Of the new Planters house:
Wen, did You ever stop to think Of the
tmcnse weight they will be compelled
to support steadily for many many
years? Oh, you have. But | supp0s3
you have thought the manufactures
Just made those pillars and sold them
without knowing anything about how
much weight they would bear or how
long they would bear It, Let me tell
you about that.
Those pillars are east in the same
manner as are cast-iron stoyes-by run.
ming the liquid metal into sand mods.
but alongside Of each pillar is cast az
iron bar, from the same metal. That
bar is precisely an inch square and
i've and one-half feet in length When
cold it is subjected to a very simple
test Each end of the bar is placed up
on a table and weights are suspended
from the center 10y 4 rope. 1t must
bear n tensil strength of 500 pounds
to the square inch. The test may be-
gin with 400 pounds and be gradually
increased until the bar is found to be
perfectly supporting the required
weight If it breaks, for instance at
4SO OF 400 pounds then the pillar cast
from the pot Of metal which cast the
bar is discarded, broken up and put
into the pot agaiu, with more pie-Iua
added The pillars, you know, are
largely made from scrapiron, and the
manufacturers cannot know The
strength Of the cast until it is tested
The addition of pig-iron, in the event
of failure, brings the cast up to ting

for the new Planters house had 10 be-

the Star this evening that eX-PoStmas-
ter-General Wanamaker may be Presi-
dent Of the Reading railroad TO succeed
Mcleod may be inferred from the fact
that John Russell Young, Fifth Vice
President of the Reading, is editor in
chief Of the Star. That journal says
A Star reporter met ex-Diector Do
Ian at the Reading offices today, and
questioned him regarding McLe DDS sue
cesSor.
My name is being mentioned, but it
is without my authority" said he Il
may be able to manage a wooden mill,
but certainly not great railroad"
How is the name Of ex-Postmaster-
General Wanamaker regardedE" asked
tie reporter.
Il cannot speak for Mr. Wanamaker.
He is a man who will undertake a
great many things" was the significant
answer
There is talk in financial circles of
getting up a petition asking Mr.. Mcleod
10 withdraw his resignation. The feel
ing is that his retirement may be fol
lowed by a separation of the Reading
and Lehigh Valley interests, and in or
der TO prevent this the merchants who
desire a continuance Of competition be-
tween Philadelphia and Buffalo may
petition Mr.. Mcleod to reconsider his
resignation and continue at the head
OF the company. II is believed that Mr..
McLeod's retirement win have a serious
effect upon the anthracite coal trade.
His personal influence in connection
with that industry has been large. His
policy has been such as to increase the
profits of both miners and dealers, and
these classes regard his retirement as
the signal for lack Of cohesion among
all concerned in maintaining prices at
a uniform level.
President Mcleod left this afternoon
for Boston. Before going he was asked
whether his retirement from the Read
ing would effect his standing as Presi-
dent Of the Boston and Maine and New
York and New England roads and re-
fused to say anything on the subject.
He declared that his resignation does
not indicate that he viii leave Phila-
delphia
John Lowber WEIGH, who has been
suggested as Mr. McLeod's successor,
this afternoon denied that he would be-
come Readings president and said he
thought President Joseph S. Harris, of
the Lchigh Coal and Navigation com
pany would be the man. AS Mr.. Welch
has been closely identified with the
management Of the Reading road for
years it is believed that he knows
whereof he speaks.
