RAIL THAT CANNOT SPREAD.
Invention of Value Said to Have Beer
Made in Pittsburg.

The prevention of all possible
chance of breaking or spreading is the
important advantage claimed for a
steel rail and tie combined recently in
vented and patented by two Pittsburg
workingmen, ]. j. Fitzgerald and Louis
Mcfarland. Railroad managers are
watching the new device with the
greatest interest, for it it will do one
half what its inventors maintain, it
will eliminate more than 80 per cent.
of the accidents on American steam
and electric roads
The construction of this new rail
and tie is simplicity itself. 1t requires
no nuts, bolts or fish plates, and when
once in place can, it is said, be main
tanned in perfect condition at much
less cost than the style now in use.
A feature of the invention is the
ingenious way in which the rail and
tie are securely joined This is done
by means of a tapered round pin, split
at the small end. This pin is inserted
so tightly that the split end spreads
out and holds it firmly in place. Add
ed strength is secured by an improved
tongue at the base of the rail which
is said to be twice as strong as that
in general use at present. The chance
| OF breaking or spreading is further
guarded against by the slot in the tie
into which the tongue fits, and the
fact that the new rail requires no
welding prevents all danger of trouble
from contraction or expansion of the
metal.
The difficulty which is experienced
in securely imbedding the present
fiat beam cross ties is entirely re-
moved. The new tie is arched at the
base, thus enabling the ballast to be
packed sOlidly around it and per
manent foundation secured in any
kind of roadbed.-New York Ameri.
