The outlook for the future of Span

seems good. The attempts of twenty
five years ago, not always successful
from the point Of view of sincerity.
even when made by professional novel
lists, have been followed by such an
advance toward perfection that good
novels are now written by writers,
primarily critics, such as Valera and
Bazan; and steady advance in cOnccp-

those who occupy themselves chiefly,

A Unique Way to Snve Rails.

The latest practice in the economy
of rolling stock OH railways is to turn
the cars ut the end Of each trip, where
by 4 large percentage of extra wear
and tear is saved, says Iron Age
Some years ago a portion of the Wa
bash railroad was laid with old En-
glish iron rails and a small part with
steel rails from the Carnegie MILL 1t
became necessary after time to re-
move some Of the main line rails to
another part of the road. and it was
observed that after rclaying them
many gave out Immediately. while 9th
ers manifested no signs of wear TO
determine the reason of this apparently
unaccountablc condition an invcstiga-
ton was ordered which showed that
the road from which the rails had been
removed was built in Il north west
southeast direction. and that in relaying
a large number had been turned end
for end. Those that had not been so
placed exhibited no additional loss by
attritiOn, while tho turned rails Sue
cumbcd in from thirty to ninety days.
The conclusion arrived at WAS that the
metal had become polarzcd from long
use. when first laid, and thar the fibre
was broken up by tho traffic in the
opposite direction. 1t was further
proved that cast-iron wheels generally
yielded twice the mileage when the
cars were turned at each end of the
journey than when they were run back
ward and forward without reversing.
Notwithstanding the value Of this dis
covcry, it was not universally utilized.
and it is only recently that some Of
the American railroads have begun to
recognize its Importance
