Improvement of Railway Track.

From the Engineering News.
During the past few years much
has been written about the Inn
provement of railway track In the
United States, and in order to ar
rive at some definite idea as to the
progress and extent OF such i'm
provement we commenced, some
weeks ago, an investigation into
the present standards OF track con-
struction as adopted by about fifty
of the leading railways, the traffic
conditions of which vary, OF course,
very considerably. These railways
cover every section Of the country
The standards adopted do not, as
a rule, represent the actual track
construction over the entire main
line mileage of the several rail-
ways, but only that Of portion OF
the mileage, which portion 1t grad
ually increasing as renewals are
carried on to meet the require
ments of traffic. The other and
older portion of the existing track
is in very varying condition as to
material and maintenance, and II

a heterogeneous collectionfof frogs,
a skimped amount OF ballast and
other defects are too often to be
seen on important lines. This is
due largely to financial conditions
(the various good and bad reasons
for which we need not stop TO con-
siderl and to the fact that the trans
portation. or traffic departments
have in general received much
more and much closer stteution
than the road way department..
On the other hand, some of our
main lines have track equal to
the best in any other part OF the
world, well built and we'll main
tanned. The economy in mainte-
nance expenses resulting from a
su bstantial track construction in
creases in proportion to the traffic
which is carried.

Charcoal On Wounds.

For some time the Japanese have
been using an original end very
efficacious device for stopping the
flow OF blood, a method still en-
tirely unknown 10 the medical
fraternity of this country and
Europe. They use sachets filled
with charcoal powder obtained
from straw. The application OF
these fine bags shows considerable
advantages over the ordinary med
icated gauze applied by our sur
peons. The bags shape themselves
perfectly over the wounds, and
have a considerable absorbing
power. while their cost is almost
mill. 1t costs but SOC to prepare
LOGO OF these bags for the hospital
in Kioto. Moreover, they can be
made wherever they arctic be used,
and in shape to suit each particu-
lar case, a very important quality
for use in field hospitals and sur
gical cases. The straw charcoal is
obtained in very simple way.
Clean straw is taken, placed into q
large vat, put on fire and cover,
which closes Theoretically, is plac-
ed on top. The combustion OF the
straw takes place very slowly, and
the product is, Of course, aseptic,
that lie, devoid OF microbes. The
system OF safely bandsging open
wounds has been fully tried by the
Japanese in their .ate war with
