RAILROAD NOTES


Experiments begun by the
Santa Fe Road fifteen years
ago in the way of finding a suit
able preventative for railroad
ties and timbers used in the
construction of buildings are
proving successful. The Off
Gals believe they are now in d
position to announce that the
creosote system adopted by
them is the best suited for the
purpose
Creosote piing which has
been in the Galveston bridge
nearly fifteen years still is
sound and in good state Of pres
ervatioD. while the average life
Of an untreated pile is less
than one year, many of them be
coming unfit for service after
being in the water thirty days.
This quick destruction is caused
by the attacks of the teredo, a
salt water moilusk, which
honeycombs the wood to such
an extent that in a short time it
will not bear its own weight,
The creosoting of the timber
prevents the ravages Of this
pest.
At Somerville, Tex. the San
ia Fe operates a tie and timber
treating plant, which it is be-
lieved eventually will he the
largest in the world. Every
form of timber treatment known
to science has been thoroughly
tested, and creosote for all
practical purposes has been
found to be the best.
Creosote is sent to Galveston
in shlploads and transported to
Somerville, where it is used to
preserve tim Der of every varie-
ty. The process is quite eX-
pensive, but 1T has been found
to pay. and now that timber is
becoming scarce and dear the
time is not far distant when it
probably will be resorted to I'M
iversally. Operating officials
OF all the great railroad sys-
TENS are devoting more atten-
ton to it.
Piling in its natural state
costs at present about 10 cents

the life is increased twenty fold
the economy OF the process at
once becomes apparent,-Ex.
Electric headlights, the abo-
lition of double headers, and
an efficient examination of rail
way employees as to their COM
potency are three of the de-
mandS which will be made by
the several railway organiza-
tions upon the several state leg
islatures. The organizations
which have taken up these
propositions are the Order of
Railway Conductors, the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen.
The second of these demands
is that I'll trains shall have
their full complement of engi-
neers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen. The practice of
doubling up trains is being con
demned as not only unjust to
the employees, but unsafe for
the general public, and it is up
on this latter ground that the
appeal will be made to the sew
eral Legislative bodies for &C
ton. No opposition, however,
will be made to the employment
of helper engines on mountain
grades.
The railroaders allege that
the electric headlight will not
only safeguard the public, but
it will render less dangerous
the work of operating trains,
especially in switching in the
yards. The engineers and fire
men especially are in favor of
forcing the abandonment of the
old oil lamps and the substitu-
ton of electricity. The demand
for efficient inspection of rail
road men is based upon the
ground that incapable men are
necessarily menace to their
fellow employees and to the
travelling public.
The movement to cause the
enactment of these demands in
to law was started at a meeting
of the railway organizations at
Houston. Texas. and it is stated
that it will be taken up in every
state in the west and a vigorous
fight made for the passage of
the laws desired by the men
who operate the trains upon
our great lines of railroad. Al

skirt, and the caTaco may be entirely Of lace.
A delicate taffeta in pineapple shade is trimmed
with great deal of lace in the same color.
Hanging over the shoulders is a sleeveless
caraco OF crochet lace and panels Of Japanese
embroidery. Crochet lace seems to be In con-
siderable favor, and certainly in a season when
so much lace Is used one should be grateful for
any novelty.
Some OF the spring street gowns are made
with close bolerO without collar or revers, and
cut out good deal down the sides TO show the
underblouse in the form Of vest Another fash
ion on the simpler form Of spring gowns is an

good cnolce--pIaced on the front OF the bodice.
Ihls, OF course, must have some raisOn detre;
either 1t connects the bertha form of trimming
or some suggestion of a short bolero.
There are a good many cloth skirts with silk
jackets OF the same shade. This combination
II taffeta and cloth is extremely modsh and is
used in short gowns well as long ones. A
Zood Illustration is in pale blue cloth and silk.
The short skirt is laid all about in small box
2ieats stitched down about the hips, with fulness
thrown well out In front, and trimmed with
stitched bands of taffeta. The taffeta jacket
half covers the hips and is trimmed with squares
OF crochet lace and heavy embroidery done in
white cotton. Underneath is a little short vest
just covering the bust and showing the under
vest. both top and bottom, Of white CLOTH with
little reVers that turn over the jacket en-
broidered with big black dots. The effect is
very smart. The silk jacket which accompanies
the cloth skirt may be any shape of bOlero fitted
habit or soft tunic belted about the waistline.
There seems to be no particular law regarding
THIS point
Judging by the exhibition of early models,
linen ard Gotten toiles will be much to the fore
this summer. One handsome example is pale
Llue toiie embroidered in white and worn with
q gufmpe Of Nalenciennes lace. The guimpe is
really a complete blouse. and over it the tOile
simply forms what might be considered a small
waistcoat In the back the toile makes only
deep. square collar, but in front it meets and is
buttOned to the wastlne with small pearl but
tons. The outer edge is cut in squares heavily
embroidered The lace sleeves finish just above
the elbow with tOe cuffs. The untrimmed tOile
skirt is cut in corsclet FORM but the belt part is
not high
A gown of heavy white toile is made in
tailored fashion, but is quite suitable for the
afternoon. The skirt, which is long. is trimmed
with a series of heavily and rather coarsely
embroidered squares in different sizes separated
with lace entredeuX and mounting up the sides
of the skirt. For the top is a half long habit,
with fitted back and loose sides, which cross
tauntily across the bust with two buttoned pads.
The tabs are cut part Of the Jackets side.

THE SMART SILK GOWN.
Il Type That Is NOUeL and Refresh
ing in It's pIicity.
Paris, March 80.

Paris, March 30
In the wardrobes designed for the spring sea-
son the silk gown plays an important part
There IS a certain type Of silk gown that is
novel and refreshing on account Of its simplicity
It's material should be chosen with great deal
Of care 1t must be silk souple. Iustrous and
attractive by means of a design or some irI-
descent combination of hues. The shot silks are
particularly lovely. and show combinations Of
color that put them at once in the realm OF the
novel. This gown has an untrlmmed skirt very
long and very doppy in front and its dlstin-
gushing feature IS the high belt. Sometimes
this is put on sufficiently high to allow the
gown to be called Empire, or, again. It ls more
IN the fashion Of a baby waist One might say
that the new Empire gowns are long wasted,
and that blouse and skirt costumes are cut with
a higher waistband than has been the custom
The belt which is most carefully draped. is Of
second material il becoming, and the lace guimpe
makes the only trimming the gown.
Lace guimpes range all the way from a little
extension Of the choker to a blouse only partly
covered by the material OF the skirt And IN
many cases the sleeves are OF the lace or linz
gerie used in the guinpe. This idea calls for
bretelie costumes, which are not becoming to all
figures, and gives as we'll an excuse for novel
form Of bolero. This little garment is short.
with no opening IN front, and is worn just about
the bust with straps over the shoulders. In
most instances II completes a corselet skirt.
A beautiful gown seen recently illustrates this
idea. The material was a iridescent chiffon
velvet in which both rauve and blue were
mingled and the full, untrimmed skirt was COM
pieted by draped belt drawn up high in the
back to give a short-waisted effect, although Il
touched the natural waist line in front. The
little bolero like the one described above
but was shirred into a silver band top and bot
tom, and trimmed with heavy silver lace figures.
The high neck gunpe. which included the
sleeves, was Of Aleneon lace with a little touch
Of blue velvet answering as cuffs and making a
line about the top of the chokeE.
If the round waist is as generally worn as it
promises to be it is unfortunate that there is
no better term for II than baby" for it will
probably by no means be reserved for very
young girls. An evening gown is of black net
over pale blue. with a high Empire belu Of
