RAILS MADE OF PAPER.
One of the Greatest Achievements of
Modern Science.

Paper Trade Journal.
The successful Introduction of railroad
rails made of paper material in Germany
and Russia has encouraged American man
ufacturers to experiment. The foreign
mode of making the rail consists In the en-
ployment of molds and powerful pressing
machines. the former for shaping the rail
and the latter tor consolidating purposes.
Paper car wheels have been IN use Tor
many years, and have given satisfaction.
1t is not assuming too much TO anticipate
satisfactory results with PAPER rails. The
means free from defects. The metal is al
ways more or less affected by the condi-
tions of the atmosphere, and accidents are
frequently traced to the warping, contrac-
ton or expansion of rails.
Again. there are flaws and similar imper-
fections in rails of the metallic order, and
these often give trouble. The heavy loco
motives and other rolling stock of these
days require extraordinarily large and
heavy rails, consequently the rails cannot
be made very long. as the weight would
be too much. The paper rails are less than
one-half lighter for the same length and
size, so that, so far as the weight question
is concerned. the length of the latter can
be twice that of the iron or steel rail. This
obviateS the use OF just so many joints,
dispensing witt so many bolts and connec-
tons. and relieving the wheels of the car
from just so many shocks.
The process of manufacturing the rails is
not difficult when once the necessary COM
pressive apparatus is available, as the
solidifying operation is probably the main
part of the whole work. The composition of

proportions of any OF the substances are
procurable.
Quantities of borax. paraffine wax. tan

and fine cement are employed in necessary
proportions. and are added TO the pulp
while il is yet warm. Mixing follows. and
the ingredients are thoroughly combined
with the fiber. A quantity of shellac and
wood alcohol is next put into the mixture.
and the mass is s<ojected to another STIR

STILL THE BOSS.
Gar Reed Sat Down on the
Cuban Resolution.

Washington, May 27.-Reed has
SHOWN that he Is b master of the
House. He said that the Cuban reso-
luton should not come up in the
House until the President wished it to,
and he is keeping his word. The
Democrats under Lewis made a strong
and determined effort today to get the
delinquency question before the
House, and there was a feeling OF
much suppressed excitement among
the members and spectators to see how
Reed would meet the situation.
The Speaker apparently knew his
power, for he seemed very little dis
turbed by the efforts of the Democrats.
and without hesitation ruled Lewis
out Of order.
An attempt to appeal from the
Speakers decision resn3'~d disas-
trously, for the Republicans to o man
supported Reed. Lewis motion was
effectively quashed and the House ad-
journed.
The result WAS unexpected to the
outside public, as 1t was generally he
lieved that the Republicans would re-
fuse to support the Speaker in this
matter. 1t was asserted that the
Cuban feeling was so strong that it
wouli completely overshadow all
party feeling aud hat the Speaker
would have at least th!ee-fourths Of
the House against him.
There has beer some very effective
work done among the Republicans in
the House during the past few days,
however. They have suddenly awak-
ened to the fact that by combining
with the Democrats they are tying the
hands of their own President and are
seriously embarrassing the move.

Senator Hanna and others familiar
with the plans Of the President have

i'll the case may be. il seems certain

flushed through the House.
