INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
Has Ordered New Freight Cars
and Freight Locomotives.
Railroad Y. M. c. A. Work.

Railroad men generally will be in
terested to learn that the Delaware
and Hudson Canal company has de-
cided to order 1,jOO new freight cars
and twenty-five freight locomotives.
The locomotives will be the largest
ever built for use in this country and
will be capable of hauling train of
1,S00 tons. This is double the amount
of tonnage now drawn by the COM
pany's engines. The older pattern Of
locomotives will gradually be retired
and the new ones substituted.
With this comes the report that the
Erie has ordered of the Baldwin Loco
motive works four new engines of the
Atlanta type. These are to be Vau-
claim compounds, cylinder 13 and 22x26
inch. with $1,000 pounds on the driv-
ers, the drivers to be 76 inches in diam
eter. Three of these engines are to he
run on the Susquehanna division be-
tween Susquehanna and Hornellsville,
to take the place of eight wheel en-
Gines now running there with the same
size drivers.
On that run there is n maximum
grade of about twelve feet to the mile
for l40 miles. and the speed on the
division will average higher than on
any other part ofShe Erie system. The
fourth of these engines will be used
more or less experimentally on other
parts of the road, in order to bring out
the suitability of the type for general
service.

TURNING A BUILDING.

The moving of houses and other
structures is not new thing in Amer
lea, and the TRANSFORMATION of part of
the gigantic trainshed of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at Jersey City To point
over a hundred feet away from it's
present location was decided upon re-
Gently.
But an engineering feat recently ac-
complished in Paris easily outranks
anything ever attempted in this line.
The so-called "Thirty-Metre Gallery"
which connected the central dome of
the 1889 Exposition with the Machinery
hall will be utilized again in 1900. But
1t is not wanted in the same place. In
order to move it to it's new site it was
found necessary to turn the colossal
structure around at an angle of 80 de-
grees. This was accomplished on cir
cular track. The gallery is over 400
feet long and almost 100 feet wide. It's
weight is estimated at $50 tons.

CORK ROADWAYS.

At Liverpool street station. London,
several roadways have been in use for
number of years paved with cork,
and the results are said to have been
all that need be desired. Indeed, cork
has been extensively tested in differ
ent parts of Great Britain for some
years past as a material suitable for
road pavements.
Ground up into small particles mixed
with bitumen and q suitable fibrous
material, when compressed into blocks
under high pressure--600 pounds per
square inch-this material has been
found to produce a medium for road
pavements which has given excellent
results under different conditions. 1t
is tough, cohesive and elastic without
being easily compressed or indented.
Not only does it afford a good foothold,
but it is practically non-absOrbent and
noiseless. II is laid in cakes very much
in the same manner as wood blocks,
that is, on a cement concrete fOunda-
ton. and the jointing material is btu
men.
