The Dangers OF Steel

A peculiar danger of railway traffic
has developed in Montana since the ex-
treme cold weather of the last two
weeks. 1t appears that between Mis-
soula and Butte on the Northern Pacific
railway 265 broken rails were found, all
Of them OH one side of the west bound
track of the double lines between those
two cities. The use of this track has
been abandoned until the broken rails
are replaced.
The theory by which this peculiar
and unusual condition is accounted for
is that fast train was run over the
line one of the coolest nights OH one of
the cars of which there was a flat"
wheel. Occasionally this wheel would
strike rail with sufficient force To
break it on account of the great amount
If frost in it.
r It appears that it is fact recognized
~ architects and others figuring upon
he strength of steel strnct ures, that a
temperature below zero affects the
trength of that material. Just what
he percentage of loss is, however, is
unknown, hence no definite allowance
an be- made for these unexpected
FEATHER conditions.
As the use of steel becomes more and
lore common, doubtless the dangers
rom this source will become more and
lore noticeable. 1t will constitute a
Srious problem for solution to ascertain
hat allowance must be made for each
,gree Of possible loss Of temperature,
ot.only in railway structures, but in
eat buildings. In some Of the great
eel skyscrapers OF the large cities for
stance, should an unusual fall of
mperature occur far below the zero
nrk, and then should some sudden
ock be transmitted to a critical point
Zone of those buildings where the
Eoper allowance had not made for this
Gexpectedly cold weather, a disaster

department which he is Investigating
some ground for the expectation that
the Mayor might have something TO say

Knowing tho views Of the Mayor on the
oppression often practised by the depart
ment, Mr.. Spiegei laid the facts before
the Mayor and accompanied him on the
trip on Tuesday afternoon.
The Mayor had no comment to make on
the trip yesterday. except to say il was
a part Of hts plan to. get acquainted with

that he might make further personal OBJ
servations whenever he deemed them nee
essary.
