The Ohio mineral exhibit comprises
not only an adequate display OF the
raw materials. such as fuels, clays and
stones. but also the great variety Of
products made from these. The prom

further shown by numerous maps,

are shown in large bottles and in
cases. Salt, lime, OIL iron ore calcium

of Ohlo's clays are thus displayed.
There are also over fifty fine speci-

These include limestones, sandstones

One Of the drawbacks to the use of
long-distance electricity has been the
liability to breakdowns, caused by ac-
cidents, including those due to light
ming, which result in shutting OF power
and often IN unpleasant and costly In
terruption of traffic. Many localities
depending on power transmitted over
long lines of wire have had such ex-
periences. Syracuse uses for it's transit
5-stem electricity generated at Mia
CARA Falls. and has had some very an
moving occurrences of the sort, and as
q consequence the traction company
adopted the policy of keeping its local
power houses in readiness for use
Now It is announced that the line from
Niagara Falls has been duplicated, and
that henceforth 1t will be practicaIIy
impossible for the current to be shut
on completely. 1t is asserted most
positively that neither thunderstorms
nor any other influence can put both
lines out Of commission at once. At
any rate the precaution seems tc be q
wise one. Electric power that is like
~ to give out when most needed does
not command the confidence of the
community 1t serves.

Broken Rails.

Among all the causes of railroad &C
cidents in the United States, none Is
mentioned with greater frequency
than the broken rail- Many causes are
assigned, and doubtless many. are con-
tributory. An excess Of phosphorus,
not easily eliminated by the Bessemer
process, by which nearly all American
rails are made, has been most COM
monty blamed; but some of the best
mechanical engineers now regard this
cause as unimportant. Improper shape
and a lack of pressure insrolling mod
ern heavy rails proportionate to that
which was available for the lighter
rails of the past are more important
faults. An excess Of carbon Is an
other. The fault of shape is the thin
ness of the web or shank of the rail,
and the thinness of the base. The
sisproportion between these parts and
the head Of the rail tends to a lack Of
uniformity in texture after cooling.
The excess Of carbon Is not the fault
of the railmakers, but Of the rail-
roads. The more carbon, the harder
the rail, of course; and the harder It
Is, the better It will resist FRACTIONAL
wear. The desire of the railroads to
minimize the cost of trackage repairs
has led to demands for steel of a high
or and higher per cent. of carbon, until
now American rails are the hardest in
the world. Most important Of all. says
Youths Companion. is the strain Inn
posed upon rails by the great weight
and high speed of modern trains.
Mechanical engineers believe that
with the present style OF rail the limit
of safety is reached at an axle load Of
$4,000 pounds; yet many trains con-
sidsrably exceed that figure. The
American Railway Engineering and
Maintenance of Ways association and
the American Society for Testing Ma
terials have adopted specifications for
q standard rail heavier in the web
and the base than those now In use;
and these specifications have been APP
proved by the American Society Of
Civil Engineers, Meanwhile the head
Of one Of the greatest railway systems
in America has withdrawn his rail
contract from company whose prod
uct has been unsatisfactory to him,
and given 1t to a concern from which
he hopes to get better results.
