Quest For NOlseless Rails.

The Scientific American points out
the rich harvest that awaits the in
ventor who shall produce a rail over
which street cars may pass noiseless-
ly. In the worst of these the din is
nerve racking, and even under the best
conditions there is an annoying noise.
There Is no noiseless joint, and the
anvil chorus" marks the progress Of
every train, and the blow given by
every wheel as it strikes the joints
may be heard blocks away. The con-
cussion which is produced whenever
a wheel passes a joint is due to the
fact that as wheel leaves the end of
a rail that rail end is depressed be-
low the end of the rail against which
it abuts. So when the wheel passes
to the rail ahead it strikes blow that
increases in clangOr according to the
poorness of quality of the track. The
need is for joint as strong and stiff
as the body of the rail itself, and when
this is obtained there will be a prac-
tically silent track. The best joints on
the market theoretically fulfill this
condition, but they soon become worn
by the heavy loads. What is needed,
in the judgment of the Scientific
American, is some means of abolish
ing the joints altogether and welding
the rail ends.

rebuilding is carried on under
rather peculiar conditions in some
parts of Oregon. An old-time river
man owns tract of land mostly COW
cred with timber six miles back from
the Columbia, says the Portland Ore
gonian. The cedar timber was cut
off long ago, and brought enough to
pay for the land several times over,
and he is now building himself rath-
er cozy house on a cleared tract of
his claim. He gets all the rough lum-
ber he wants from a sawmill near by
for 81 per 1000 but has to pay SIG
per 1000 for all the planed lumber fur
nished, which makes it rather expen-
sive.
years ago, killing most of the timber.
and the land is now covered with
dead trees, most of them from six
to ten feet in diameter. He is inclos-
ing the land with barbed-wire fence,
and in clearing a fright of way" for
this fence number of trees ten feet
in diameter have had to be cut down.
His saw is only ten feet long, so
when a cut is made into the tree three
or four feet the saw has no more play
and a new cut has to be begun on an
other side, and so on till the tree has
been sawed all round. Then it does
not know which way to fall, and has
to be forced, that is, slice cut out
of the side to allow it to tumble over
1t is not because there is no rail tim
ber handy that barbed-wire fence
is being built, but because the wire
will not burn up like rails.
When the cedar trees were logged
off the claim, they were cut high, and
the tall stumps are still standing, as
sound as ever. The owner is prepar-
ing to install two or three portable
shingle mills on the land to cut up
these stumps, and will receive Stump
age" enough on them to more than pay
for the land again. The value of the
trees deadened by fire is not certain
but if the worms have not bored too
FAR into them they will pay for the
land several times over.

From Beekeeping to College.

Among the students who entered
Syracuse University this fall was a
young woman who will pay her col
lege expenses by beekeeping. She
has been in the business for two
years, and finds 1t profitable. At the
State Fair recently she received the
first prize for bees and several prizes
for honey.
Miss Mills has eighty swarms. and
takes entire charge of them herself

fathers farm, not far from Syracuse.
as they can be captured more easily
on the vines than ON trees when they
swarm. The working costume of the
young woman is simple, but sufficient,
consisting of denim bloomers, waist
and short skirt. The color chosen is
brown, as bees are supposed to have
a special liking for it, and are less
likely to attack people who wear it.
With it she wears farmers straw
hat, enveloped in a brown silk veil
tucked carefully into the waist of her
gown. Sometimes she wears kid
gloves, when the bees are swarming,
but frequently works without them,
and is seldom stung. One is quite
safe, she says, when perfectly calm
and self-possessed but the bees are
keenly alive to nervousness, and
quickly resent 1t.
Miss Mills does all the carpenter
work required, extracts the honey,
much Of which is sold as a syrup, and
manages the business from start o
finish. The care of her bees occupies
about three days Of the week. and the
remainder of the time in summer she
devotes to jelly making and fruit can
ming, in which she does a brisk Tor
der" business. Her skill In these
branches won several prizes at the
fair.
