Why Mems Hats Have Bow.

left side of a mans hat This is sur
vival of the Old days when hats were
costly articles, In order to provide
against the hat being blown away in
stormy weather a cord or ribbon was
fastened around the crown with ends
hanging so that they could be fastened
to part of the attire or could be
grasped by the hand. The ends fell on
the left side, of course. as the left
hand is more often disengaGed than
the right. When not required it was
usual for the ends to be tied in bow

WOULD RELOCATE II. X. TIES.
Device Invented by OhioaB VIII
Practically Do Away With
Railroad Ties.

Murray A Temple of Temple, o.,
railroader of many years expert
ence, has invented and patented a
device designed to do away entirely
with the use of wooden ties in rail-
road construction.
The Temple device, according to
the Temple (Ohio) Times, is called
a continuous "railbaSe and cross tie
which if adopted, will bring about
a revolution in railroad building,
Temple is not the only inventor
who has tried to find a substitute for
the wooden tie, but he claims for his
device that it has a pTacticability and
simplicity which other devices lack.
The only thing that can be said in
defense of the wooden tie is that a
superior substitute has not been
found The wooden tie rots quickly,
allowing the ends of the rails to sag
down. bringing about a condition
which trackmen call low joints and
high centers."
Rotten ties must be replaced, ne
cessitating releveling of the road
bed and a reguaging of the rails.
With the increasing scarcity of lum-
Der the price of ties has climbed un-
til now tie costs 50 cents or there
about
Fishplates break under the strain
of trains pounding over rotten ties,
and spikes come loose, making a
spreading OF rails dangerous pos
sibility Even if wrecks do not oc-
cur, the effect of a jumpy roadbed
is ruinous to rolling stock.
In the Temple device the rails lie
on continuous plate of steel 20 in
ches wide. The plates, with the rails
upon them, are connected at inter
walls by Il" bars, which keep the
track always in guage.
Railspreading, Temple says. is i'm
possible. Plates, rails and L" bars
are laid directly on the roadbed of
gravel or crushed stone, preferably
the latter. The crushed stone road
/ bed is generally regarded with favor
! by trackmen because it is less sub
ject to washouts.
Low joints and high centers" are
avoided in the Temple device by
placing the joining ends of the con
tinuous plates in the center of the
rails and the joining ends of the
rails in the center of the plates. AL
! loWance is made for the contraction
and expansion of the rails so that
there can be no shrinking or buck
ling up of tracks whore the Temple
device is used.
Down the center of the tracks, be-
tween the plates, is raised path OF
tamped crushed stone which Is de-
signed to keep the track from Slip
ping sideways. A number of track
men who have seen Temples plans
have pronounced them practical.
