NEW BALLAsTING METHOD.

of perfect rigidity before the rails
and trucks can stand the high speed.
TO this end the improved method OF
ballasting the tracks illustrated in
the accompanying drawing has been
introduced by William Goldie, of
Williamsburg, Pa. While the introduce
ton of liquid cement beneath the
ties has already been practiced with
some degree of success, it has the
disadvantage of liability to displace-
ment, should a heavy train pass over
the rails before the mixture has en-
tirely hardened. This new process
overcomes this defect by introducing
the cement in practically dry state,
and at the same time spraying over
1T sufficient moisture to insure the
setting of the cement, but not suffi-
cient to render it plastic or fluid, so
that, after having been packed solid
ly under the tie, it cannot become
displaced by passing train, but will
remain in that position and set by
reason of the moisture impaired to
it. The cement is placed beneath the
tie by steam from a locomotive, a
small stream of water being intro
duced at the same instant to moisten
the cement.-Louisville Courier-Jo our
