The Southern Pacific is going to

at work putting heavier steel rails
to take the place of the light ones
now in use, and will SO equip the
road between Sparks and Sacra-

be used, while the old ones are only
ninety-pounders. Just how long
it will take for the work to be com
pleted depends to a large extent on
the weather conditions, but it

For HARDENING Drill.

Hardening an ordinary drill in sui
phuric acid, states the English Me-
chanic, makes an edge that will cut
tempered steel or facilitate cutting
hard rock. The acid should be poured
into fat-bottomed vessel to a depth
OF about one-eighth of an inch. The
point OF the drill is heated to a dull
cherry red, and dipped in the acid to
that depth. This makes the point
extremely hard, while the remainder
remains soft. If the point breaks, re.
harden, but with a little less acid in
the vessel.
