STEEL RAILS A MARVEL.
The Strain. the Pull, the Pounding and
Grinding They Endure.

Have you an Idea of the strain To
which a steel rail is subjected today =,
Let us consider one fof n moment IN
the time of it's greatest torture and
see. The Cannon Bali express is rom
ing. 1t is drawn by two ensi -. The
largest weighs 100 tons seventy
seven tons Of the weight are rNied
on the six driving wheels. which
means almost thirteen IONS to II wheel
Thirteen tons of weight upon each
wheel! That means thirteen tons of
weight impinging for n flying instant
upon n rail surface perhaps no more
than an inch square and then moving
forward all the time. a succession OF
whirling blows from a thirteen ton
hammer.
II the train Is going thirty miles
an hour an imaginary square inch
has but one ve-hundred-and-twenty
eighth part of a second in which to
receive the blow, vince under 1t, dis
tribute the terrible force of It through
its elastic elements to the surrounding
mass of the rail. brace itself to help
distribute stresses that are being set
up on adjacent surfaces and zigzag
cling back and forth In all sorts of
ways through the content of the rail
and then almost instantly lift its de
voted head to receive the bio of the
next driving wheel. If the train is
going sixty miles an hour Instead of
thirty his all has to be received.

And yet this isn't all that is happen
ing to the nerves of the rail. This Is
only taking account of the compress
sion strains. There Is another set of
strains, for these big driving wheels
are pulling the train They have
caught hold of the rails just as your
hands grip the rope in IA t%ug-of-war.
and they take n fresh hold every frac
ton of n second. The tendency Is to
pull the top or read of the rail. to pull
It all to pieces, 1t is the business of
the rail to stick together. head and
web and flange, In every single and
separate molecule with all the tenacity
of which steel is capable.
But we have stated only half the

drivers are pulling n part OF the

another part away from them. This
%plucking and spurning. hauling n
kicking, tension and compression go
on continuously Complete reversing
from compression to tension or back
again takes place with every half turn
of a driving wheel and at n frightfully
rapid rate. The marvel Is that the
rail Is not ground to powder.-Metro-

IS BAT NELSON
GOING TO QUIT?

Is It true that Battling Nelson, after
trying himself out on a batch Of bad
second ratcrs, is going to retire? Press
reports have 1t so, but taking the dope
on the past performances of all for
mer champions, II Is hard to believe.
If Bat Nelson does intend to retire
from the ring, it will mark the passing
of one of the frcakiest fighters that
ever held a championship.
Bat Is, in this or any other country,
different from other lighters that ever
held the title. In that he was self
taught. He lacked the fine finish Of
other fighters, but he had what all the
rest laCked--a heart of oak. Nelson's
chief asset was sumlna, and on account
Of his rugged determination, he won
his way to the championship. If Bat
Ting Nelson had. with his great lion
heart, the clcvcrncss of Packy McFar-
land, the craftlnoss of Abe Attcll, he
would have been the ideal fighter for
sure.

ders and sprays which only aggra-
waite the trouble, but try this simple,
sensible treatment. If you are not
satisfied after fair trial, your drug
gist will give back your money.
