milling machine has been contrived
by an English inventor which, II is
claimed. acts more efficiently and eco
nomically than any other milling appa-
ratus yet devised, In this new appara-
tus the usual spout and lid Of such ma
chimes are used. and on the two inner
sides and bottom OF the spout. also on
the inner side OF the lid, are projections
in alternate positions or opposite each
other as may be required. In cases
where fixed projections are used they
are OF the same solid material as the
spout and lid. or they may be separate
pieces and attached to the inner side
of the lid and TO the inner sides and
bottom of the spout; or IL the projec-
tons are OF movable character they
are attached TO and actuated by spiral
springs or by a tappet motion. The
OF these projections may be
wood, metal, glass or other substance,
and OF a pattern similar in shape TO
Greclan ogee door moulding. this hav-
ing been found TO give the best results.
Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1895-05-04

It is a well understood fact that rail-
road rails. under certain conditions.
will move lengthwise for considerable
distance This is due partly to CRAWL
tation and partly to the jar and push
Of the wheels Of passing trains Where
the travel is all in one direction. the
rails may move backward unless there
are frequent stops, when the great
strain on the wheels from the brakes
counteracts the backward tendency. On
roads where there are many up and
down grades. the wheels may pull so
strongly upon the rails as to cause them
to creep upward; and when the top of
the grade is reached and the descent
begins, the tremendous grip of the
heavy locomotive is able TO throw the
rails behind II, as 1t were, thus making
them creep upward from both sides of
the grade. 1t has been said that one
rail creeps faster than the other and
that there are magnetic or other scien-
tific reasons for the fact. Unquestion-
ably, one rail does sometimes creep
ahead, but this is owing entirely to the
fashion of handling. The line rail, as
1t is called, receives the most attention
and is, as a rule. much more securely
fastened than the gauge rail, conse-
quently the latter is more likely &c get
out of bounds
