SPEED OF AN EARTHQUAKE
Preliminary TremOrs Travel at the

Preliminary Tremors Travel at the
Rate of 345 Miles Minute.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Speaking of the Indian earthquakes of
1897, a London scientist says the vibrations
travelled to Europe. where they were re-
corded at very many stations. and no doubt
would have been equally well recorded at
any other places on the surface Of our
world had there been provided suitable in
stIuments. The preliminary tremors. which
are probably waves of compression, trav-
eled through the world to reach Italy and
other countries with an average rate of 845
miles per minute, or 90 kilometers per
second-a rate which, 1t will be observed. L.
higher than that at which similar move
nents can be transmitted through glass or
steel. The large waves, which are probably
QCasi-elasttc gravitation waves, by travcl-
ing over the surface of the earth. reached
Europe at a rate of lib miles per minute.
or 29S kilOmeters per second.
1t is likely that these latter disturbances
reached stations in Europe by travelling
from their origin in two directions round
the world. AS an indication of this. we are
told that at several Of the European sta
tons slight undulations are to be seen on
the setsmograms at times we should expect
to lind such markings, had they Travelled
from India to Europe by the longest posi-
Bile route. From the period of these waves,
which is taken at % seconds, and their
velocity, their length may be inferred an
estimate Of which is "a miles; while their
height, as deducted from their length, and
the maximum angle Of fitting, Is estimated
at 20 inches.
The slowness of the movement was such
that they could not be felt, while the mag
nitude was such that the unaided eye of an
observer would not be able to recognize any
diherential movements in his surroundings
The largeness of these disturbances and
their great duration. extending over several
hours. preclude them from the category Of
tremors, vibrations or microscisms.

The rails are seventy Founders, and are
laid with suspended joints spliced with four
bolt angle bars, and the track is ballasted
with Stag.
Since the ties were laid about 500 600
tons Of freight has passed over them, prin-
cipally coal cars of 60, 900 and 50, 900 younds
capacity. hauled by 1O0-ton engines. The
officials claim that the steel ties make a
more durable track than wooden ties and
reduce the labor Of track maintenance by
40 per cent. They also permit an increase
of 33 per cent in the length Of the sections.
If these deductions correct it is difficult
to why railroads in general do not
adopt the steel tie.

STEEL TIES TRIED.
Expense Against Them, but One Road
Finds Them Economical.

Finds Them Economical.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
Why are not steel ties used on American
railroads? This question is often asked by
those not initiated into the mysteries OF
railroad construction, and 1t is commonly
supposed that the reason lies in the sus-
ceptibility Of the metal to atmospheric
changes. This, however, is not the fact.
The most important reason for their not
being used Is their cost compared with
wooden ties.
Prices, of course, vary with locality and
circumstances, but the fair average cost OF
a wooden tie may be said to be 60 cents,
while an average steel tie as now con-
structed costs about $3.50. The wooden tie
under ordinary conditions will wear about
ten years, and its life may be extended far
beyond this period. The life Of a steel tie
is problemattcal, but the majority of rail-
road engineers do not believe 1T is long
enough to balance the increased cost. AT
the same time, every engineer realizes the
fact that the time is coming when the rail-
roads of the country will be driven to the
use Of steel ties, whether they SO desire or
not. The forests from which ties come
will not last forever. and many OF the
roads are even now considering what to do
in view of the scarcity OF tie timber. Know
ing that the age of the steel tie is coming,
several concerns have for long time been
engaged in the manufacture Of steel ties
and in experimenting with them. The tie
that will be best adapted to general use is
probably not yet made, although some
manufactures follow the European forms.
For some years roads all over the CONT
nent have been using steel ties with good
results. and accordingly manufacturers in
this country are using the foreign roads
arguments to induce American roads to try
the steel tie. Some engineers believe, too
that steel does not make as good tie
wood With steel ties and rock ballast,
they say, passengers would think that they
were riding on bed of solid cement on ac-
count of the absence of resilient properties.
They also believe that difficulties would be
experienced in packing the dirt about the
steel ties securely enough to prevent the
tracks getting out of alignment. For about
six months the Huntingdon and Broad Top
Mountain railroad in Pennsylvania has
been experimenting with the use Of steel
ties. The tie in use there resembles the
bowl and plate tie largely in use in
India and South America, and the COM
pany has been subjecting 1t to exception
ally heavy traff1c. The ties were laid on
October II. 1892 There are forty-four of
them. and the normal spacing Is twenty
four inches from center to center, but the
actual spacing varies from sixteen to thirty
inches. the ties having been put In where
the wooden ties were removed. Each
trough or rail bearer weighs about twenty
i've pounds and the ~ bearer sixty pounds.

A WONDERFUL BRIDGE.
1t is the Greatest of It's Kind to BE

From the Pittsburg Post.

1t is the Greatest of It's Kind to BE
Found Anywhere.
From the Pittsburg Post.
The greatest steel structure in the world
so far as railroad work is concerned, is
just about completed in this state. It is
the wonderful bridge of the Erie railroad
across the Kinzua valley In Mexican
county. The original bridge was a marvel
and was considered one Of the wonders Of
the new world. The old abutments are
used to support the new structure.
This original structure was found to be
too weak for the modern heavy engines and
cars Of the Erie railroad, and last May
traffic on this branch was suspended It
extends from Carrollton on. the main line
to Johnsonburg, a distance of 53.2 miles,
and passes through Bradford, Custer City
and Mt Jewett and connects with the mar
row gauge division Of the P. and W. R. r.
1t traverses a Wilderness region where
bears, deer and Wildcats are found and the
ruffled grouse Is at home in the almost i'm
penetrable slashings and virgin forests
The new bridge is much heavier than the
old structure. In the old bridge $500 tons
of material wersc used, but in the new
structure there viii be $500 tons of STEEL
or 100000 pounds. = This modern steel
miracle is 3O1h feet above the level of the
in length and nine feet wide. Twenty towers
of steel support 1.-The structure, and these
vary from % feet to 2S5 feet in height and
rest on solid piersa of rptone work. Looking
up from the bottom these magnificent tow
ers look like a spider syeb, but as they are
closely examined some idea of the strength
of the new bridge Is ascertained. Web

steel with depth of 6lb feet look life
