DEFECTS IN GAR TRUCKS.
One Serious Dimcuity Is Found Where the
Tracks Are Curved.


Tracks Are Curved.
'sThe degree of perfection attained
in mechanical production is wonder
full said mechanic to writer for
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. I'm almost
every line of mechanical inventions
you see faults and difficulties overcome
which make it seem nearly impossible
to advance further. Viewed in this
light, the imperfections in the con-
Struction of our railroad car trucks
are strangely inconsistent, for they are
palpably at variance with our high at
tainment in mechanical construction.
l refer to the custom, which has never
been improved upon since railroading
began, of using wheels securely fast
ened to rigid aXles. 1t would seem
that, on such an all-important matter
as this, some improvements would be
made, but there has been none. The
running gear of cars, as now con-
structed, is only adapted for use on
straight tracks. But, as there must be
curves on roads, the trucks are simply
forced around them. 1t is said that
it requires one-third more motive pow
er to carry train around an ordinary
curve than on a straight track. This
is due to the strain to which the wheels
are SUBJECTED. In making curve the
outside track is longer than the inside
one. Now, with a wheel on each track
and fastened immovably to the axle,
both wheels must make the same num-
ber of revolutions. In rounding
curve how is the inside wheel, which
has a much shorter distance to travel,
to make an equal number of revolu-
tions with the outside wheel? 1t is,
done in this way: The inside wheel
slips upon the inner or shorter rail,
while the outside one covers the long
er distance. At the same time the in
clination of the track required in max
ing curves throws most of the load
upon the wheel that is slipping, caus-
ing a great strain upon both wheel
ar' axle. 1t has been computed that
this strain is equal to double that of
the rolling pressure on a straight
track. To meet this the axle is made
much thicker between the wheels than
at the journals. where all the weight
of the car and load is carried. Though
it has been long coming I think the
day will finally dawn when these de-
fects in car trucks will be overcome

A WHAT IS IT.
The City Has at Last a Datum
 Plane.
Formal Notice of Election Ordered, Polling Places Fixed and
 Officers Appointed.

The city of Phoenix has datum plane. It has had one for many years, ever since the Indians were driven away and the first adobe wall erected, but it was never legally and officially discovered until last night. The datum plane was formally presented to the city last night by the mem bers of the city council, who carefully considered the advisability of dolng it and were, in fact, not quite sure what it is.
 A datum plane is an imaginary level lying under ground ninety-eight and some odd and fractional inches below the top of river washed stone buried by Engineer Trott at the northwest corner of the city hall plaza. The level as has been remarked. has been there a long time, sustaining to the city much the same relation that vermiform ap pendix does to the man who doesn't know anything about anatomy. only the datum plane is more useful.
 The citizens of Phoenix are hereby cautioned against digging holes in the ground of depth of more than ninety eight feet. Such holes would pierce the datum plane and the cost of digging would be charged to the digger.
 The council immediately began work ing the datum plane for all it was worth and passed an ordinance estab- fishing a grade on Washington street between Third street and Third avenue basing the grade ons mathematical calculations based in turn on the datum plane.
 The agreements with w. s. Fitz- patrick for the erection of hose tower and with D. A. Evans fo- finishing the second story of the engine house were approved.
 A legal notice of the municipal cleo tion was ordered and polling places, in- spectors, judges and clerks were named as follows:
