Railroad Ties.

A fact of some interest In railroad
construction Is the great diversity In
the number of ties used to the mile on
different lines, as well as in the size
and quality of timber Thus, accord
ing to the construction details of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railway, the number of ties used on
that line is $500 to the mile, three
quarters of these being chestnut and
one-quarter oak, while some roads use
1000 only, or $500 to the mile. More
than 60 per cent of the ties are cut 8
feet long. II per cent 8 feet and the
rest 80 feet long; the nine foot ties are
used chiefly by the southern and gulf
group of railroads, where pine timber
is very abundant and cheap. The New
England roads have their ties cut from
five to six inches in thickness, while
the southern roads seem to prefer sew
en- inch ties; the width of the ties like
wise varies from five to six inches in
New England to eight inches in the
central northern and the southern
roads.-New York Sun.
