THE HEAVIEST RAIL.
Being Experimental with by the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

MAUI ooe'
A Pittsburg paper of recent issue
says: Considerable interest Is being
shown by railroad managers through
out the country In the test being made
by the PENNSYLVANIA system of Il l42-
pound steel rail This Is said to be
the heaviest rail- ever tried on rail-
road, and Is designed to aid the move
ment of fast trains. as well as provide
better facilities for handling the
heavy freight trains. In the event OF
the rail proving successful. 1t is prob
able that it will be established as the
standard Of the Pennsylvania, and
other roads. will doubtless carry out
the same idea in the matter OF con-
struction. The heavier rail is said to
be not only more satisfactory in the
matter of service, but is more durable
and. will outlive by many years the
present steel rail.
The Pennsylvania has just complet-
ed three tracks, built of the new steel
rail. They have been laid on the Del
aware freight line, and constitute the
heaviest roadbed in the world The
rails weigh l42 pounds to the yard,
and are ballasted in concrete and nine
inch Orders are used to bind them.
All the curves and spurs are made of
the same heavy metal. and the tracks
are considered superior to any rail.
road section ever undertaken. The
rails were made especially for the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. and
are expected to last % years without
repairs. 1t required three months to
place them, and the line cost over ST.
100000, constituting the most eXp"n-
sive piece of railroad construction OF
the kind in the world.

The resemblance of Congressman
Sulzer. of New York, to Henry Clay is
often remarked, and this story was told
the Rochester Herald:
"Sulzer heard that there was an old
negro barber in Washington who in his
youth had shaved Henry Clay. He
went to the barber and got him to
shave him. When the shave was near
ly over and the old man hadn't said
anything, Sulzer could not keep still
any longer
sam said he, do I remind you in
any way of Henry Clay?'
"Sam put the razor back in the case
with much deliberation and hesitated
for some time. Sulzer waited pa
tiently.
"'Well. sah,' answered Sam at last,
4 think 20 does, sab. Yo breff, sab. is
powful like Mr.. Clay's.'"
