Faurida has produced millions of
crosstles and no doubt will produce
mnflons more, though new inventions
are being put forward as better mate
rial for the ties than wood. However
many OF the best railroad men in the
country have asserted that there is no
better material, and that substitutes of
glass, leather and iron are injurious
TO the rolling stock, as the spring and
giving qualities Of the wood are entire.
iy absent in the other. The leather tie
Will not last, the exposure rotting it..
The price OF the Florida ties, said to
be tending upward so steadily, Is one
or the causes for seking a substitute.
There Is no material today es cheap
as the wood tie. A few years ago they
sold at 40 cents each. Now the price
Is 70 CENTS, but there is no falling off
In demand by the raise. A Northern
road president is quoted as saying that
the defamation of the forest will force
new kind of tie on his road.
"A Philadelphia paper says: "Sey.
eral Of the engineers of the Reading
railroad have made models of steel
sills, and the Carnegie Company, of
Pittsburg, is making a test OF one of
these patterns. The saving by the use
of the metal sleeper is expected to be
considerable, as 1t is said that eventu-
ally 1t can be made at a cost of 40
cents, and that competition in its man.

five years, and may not require rep9ac-
ing for much longer period"
This Is not new thing or q new
announcement, and will not scare the
southern crosstie manufacturers, as
has been tried before.
The crosstie industry in Florida is
a big thing, and millions of the ties
are sent away annually from Jackson
vile, Fernandina and Brunswick, and
the export will continue as long as
there Is cypress and pine trees to be
had, and these ties will never be 4
