public the following announcement today:
This month the Pennsylvania rallroad sys-
TEN is TO begin m experiment with a new
kind Of wood for ties. orders have been
placed and several assignments Of the ma
terial are expected soon from South
America. AS soon as these arrive prepare
lions will be made for placing the ties at
points along the main line in and around
Philadelphia The ties referred 30 are Of
mora" wood and were procured in A5tish
Guiana. Mora wood IS also produced in
other South American countries.
1t is claimed for mora wood ties that they

Of durability. The llfe Of the white oak
the United States is not In excess of ten
years. The purchasing price of 3e mora
woGd ties Is 81 each. which is increased by
freight and other charges to $1.50 each on
delivery. The total cost of the domestic
white oak tie is about T5 cents each.
About $SoUOO, 600 IS annually expended by
the railroads of the United States for re
that 1l2,000Oo0 new ties are needed eacA
year. The total number of ties now in use
by the railroads Of the country is calculatrd
at TS0O00,o00 The demand Is so great that
the sources OF supply are becoming limited,
and 1t is therefore necessary that some OF
perimented With, THIS may result In in
creased commercial transactions between
North and South America amounting to
millions Of dollars annually.
