Scientific JoffinGS

For several years the various COM
panies have been endeavoring to Sc
cure rails of a harder quality, the
heavy modern locomotives and steel
cars frequently breaking down the or
dinary rail. The American Society of
Civil Engineers has been investigating
the resistance strength Of steel rails,
and the tests made by this body have
fully demonstrated the fact that the
softness in steel rails is due to the
method of rolling rather than to any
defect in the composition Of the steel.
