TIES FROM coRNsTALKs.
inventor Declares He Has Solved
Problem of the Great Lines.


NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-One inventor
has come to town with something en-
tirely new. He is J. T. Schaffer OF
Rochester, known as an expert on hy-
draulic machinery. He is also an ex-
pert on induratiOn, or the hardening
of substances to make them both fire
and waterproof, and is we'll up on ex-
tracing fluids from acids.
The inventors scheme is to manu-
facture railroad ties out of corn stalks.
He mas with him at the Victoria no
tel sample block or brick of his in
durated corn stalks, which is as hard
as a rock and of a grayish color.
There are in the United States about
$780, 900 miles of single track railway,
on which are $4,000, 900 wooden ties.
The annual renewals of ties are about
100,OOO,OO0. The wood is giving out
and Mr.. Schaffer would use pressed
corn stalks as a substitute.
Plant is Portable.
Having figured out the geographical
relation of the roads to the corn belts,
Mr.. Snaffer has decided to run his
plant to the railroads instead of dis
tributing his ties from a center. AS
threshing machine travels about the
country "setting-up'' at farms where it
is required, so this inventor intends to
draw his machinery by locomotives to
sidings along the corn and sugar-cane
belts and turn out as many ties as
would be demanded.
five cars. Abaut twenty-five hands
would be required and a tie would be
turned out every thirty seconds or
twelve hundred during a working day
of ten hours.
"Oak ties,' said Mr.. Shaffer, cost
$1.35 in northern New York; the corn
stalk substitutes cost one-third less,
and the latter will outlast three
wooden ties"
Why His Tie Excels.
All railroads soak their wooden ties
in creosote to lengthen their life" con-
tinued Mr. Shaffer. "The objection to
the creosOting is that it does not pre-
vent water from soaking in between
the spikes and wood fiber Again, It
is very expensice. And in the third
place creosote is a deadly poison.
ITO the steel tie there are objections
the noise and the lack of elasticity
which prevents the tie from springing
back into place after the ends have
dropped into the road bed.
The Wabash experimental with ce-
ment ties, but it was necessary to in
sert wooden plugs into which to drive
the spikes, and the water, swelling
the plugs, burst the cement. In Paris
they tried ties made out of paper, but
the cost was prohibitive and, by the
way, no insect that lives can penetrate
n-stalk tie for the cells are filled
with indurater' or hardening SUBJ
stance.
spreading of the rails is the cause
of most Of the accidents" says the
inventor. Nov 1 would dovetail rails
into my tie and there would be no
spreading"

cused. The experiments Will last
maybe a year; at least until all de-
sired data is obtained. The results
of the Investigations will be o1ered

Blow for Beef Trusts.
The refrigerating plants constitute
one of the principal portions OF moo-
ern abbatoir and it will be seen what
a staggering blow to the packers II
would be if the federal authorities
were to place their stamp of disapprov-
al on cold storage products. With the
various states waiting to make laws
governing the storage of foods, there
is no question that an edict of this
kind from the department of agricul-
ture would have an effect on the legis-
lative bodies.
Interest in the experiments, there
fore, will not be confined to the con-
sumers only, but will be general among
the persons engaged in the industry.
It is not the intention of the depart
ment to confine it's ivestigation to
products stored in the big warehouses,
but the object is to inquire into the
various methods of refrigerating.

The Sioux Falls Press in speaking
of expected legislation with regard to
life insurance says: With the open
ing of the congressional session, the
subject of the naturalization Of life
insurance companies will take the
platform, several congressman having
entered upon a study of the subject
with the intention of introducing
bills having that object in view. Dis
cussion can do no harm, but the first
view of the case inclines the public
to favor the state plan, which would
scatter the money of policy holders
over the country and prevent its
harmful accumulation at a COMMON
center to tempt the weak and the
strong to illegal $ of the power it
possesses"
