OIL ON THE TRACKS.

Persons riding up and down the Della
ware division of the r., w. & b. rail
road must have noticed the dark and
greasy condition Of the roadbed. Ties,
rails and ground are covered with oil
of that dark brown color 50 graphically
descriptive Of the taste in a mans
mouth on the morning succeeding q
night out with the boys. While adj
have noticed it, the Wayfarer doubts
whether many OF the travellers know
why it is put there and at what ex-
pense to the company.
The Maryland division DIS stone bal
lasted. The Delaware division is not
or. at least, only for a short distance
outside Of Wilmington The ties are
laid in natural soil, which is both light
and loose. Trains running over the
tracks. displacing air and creating
strong currents, send clouds of dust
over the passengers, making riding ex-
ceedlng.y unpleasant in the dry sea-
son when IL lS esSenual 10 c0LllJll Ou
have the car windows open. To ob-
vlate this, crude oil is sprinkled over
the roadbed at a cost of $50 mile. II
is placed in a tank car, with a sprinkler
attachment, and an engine pulls II
over the track at a speed of about foui
miles an hour, the oil dripping out az
Il goes. Forty mites Of track have all
ready been sprinl1led jim this manner q
cost on $1,000, and more may be done
before the operations cease. 1t is ex
pensive, but much cheaper than ston'
ballast, and only has TO be done once
year. II keeps down the dust and con
tributes greatly TO the comfort OF tn
patrons of THE road.
