New York, May 25.-SOmo astounG-
inc and highly interesting features are
contained in one of the recent bulletins
given out by the Census Bureau. The
bulletin deals with the foreign born
population of New York state and City
and shows that there are 1.927.713 for
eien born citizens in New York city
as against 126O9ls in 1900. OF these
11O40g9 are In Manhattan which had

as against 1851 in 1900.
one of the remarkable facts shown
by the figures of the bulletin is that

WHY RAILS CREEP.
Expansion Of Metal by Heat and
Pounding OF Trains

A railroad track. properly ballasted,
bolted ana flsh plated. locks like one of
the most solid structures in the world.
That it would and can actually creep
forward--rails. ties and all--seems in
comprehensive Every double track
railroad in the country, however. has
To fight just such a condition.
Railroad rails viii actually creep
forward along the ties. Solid and pom
dcrous as they are. the steel rails a;e
not immune from the effects of heat or
the steady pounding of long trains
moving over them, always IN the safne
direction.
The rails travel ABOUT twenty-two
inches every day all the year around.
In about two years Il given rail would
wander all the way across a big briGse.
II has beer necessary to put in
"crceper" device on one end and "a
feed rail" on the other in order TO keep
the engines from coming down through
an unexpected gap to the bridge floor
Heat has the same effect on a piece
Of railroad steel. 1t will cause it 20
eloncatc and press against the rails at
either end. Once in a while there is a
railroad wreck produced by just such
a happening. The hot sun pours down
INTO q cut upon a cnder roadbed or
upon the rails out somewhere in the
prairie and they begin to 'ltink' and
twist under the glare The next train
that comes along at a fifty-mile-an-
hour gait finds itself piled up In q
ditch. The rails have crcpt until they
could creep no farther and then they
have tried to tic themselves into "a
knot.
Every railroad superintendent breads
the track troubles that are almost Ger
tain TO come with hot weather. Sooner
or later some train is going to be de-
rallied if the weather continues blazing
hot. A rail along the whole line may
prove to be the one that will feel the
heat worse and start to creep up
against the rails at either END. Then'
if trackwalker or a section hand fails
10 find IL In time there win be a de-
railment at that particular spot III the
road is lucky IL will be freight train

Most engineers run with care on n

The boilers are cylindrical vertical

"The system just described has been
