tons will represent the steel framework.

Asphaltic Oil for R.R. Ties.

Asphaltic oil has lately come into promi-
nence in the west and southwest. where
the Santa Fee and Mexican Central rail-
roads are now using 1t in the crude state
on a large scale. About nine years ago
the Santa Fee placed ties treated with a
maximum quantity Of asphaltic oil In a
track in southern Texas. where one OF
the most severe conditions of climate in
North America exists for the destruction
of wood. Untreated ties placed in this
track lasted scarcely eighteen months.
and for comparative purposes they placed
in this track all kinds of treated and UNI
treated wood and kept active and careful
examination Of their condition each year.
After nine years service the asphaltic
ties were found to be as good as when
first placed In the track, while every
one Of the other treatments inserted at
the same time have been taken out de-
cayed. Practically all of the untreated
ties of various kinds were taken out in
the first four years. Asphaltic ties have
already lasted four times their untreated
life under abnormal conditions, and the
end is not yet.
A heavy asphaltic crude oil is found in
California and Mexico, which is most
excellent for this treatment. I'm
fortunately. the asphaltic base oils In
other parts Of the country are, In their
crude state, extremely volatile. infiam-
ma BILE, and with no body. SO that IL used

give them a process of refining.

WRITER DISCUSSES
TIMBER PRESERVAT|VES
Much of Creosote Used in U. S.
Is Now Imported As
phaItic Oil Valuable.

Many wood preservatives are now in
the market chief among which is creo-
sote derived from the fractional distilla-
ton of coal tar, writes Frank w. Cher
rington in an article on Timber Pre-
sentative Methods"
Inasmuch as this product has been
thoroughly tried out with great success
in foreign countries. it was and is nat
urally the most popular of all preserva-
tives in this country. Unfortunately.
the creosote manufactured in America
is Of an inferior quality to that Of foreign
make. because Of the great demand for
the high boiling and stable components
of coal tar extensively used for roofing
purposes In America.
The enormous demand and prices paid
for this roofing by-product of coal tar,
for which there Is no demand abroad, is
leading the manufacturer of creosote In
America to extract this valuable by
product and 80 reduce the value OF creo-
sote as a stable and durable wood pre-
sentative. For this reason it is difficult
to obtain a high-grade creosote manu-
featured locally, fulfilling specifications
called for by most engineers. who usu-
ally prepare their specifications after
careful research and study. basing them
always on the experience of others who
have obtained practical results.

is therefore extremely high, and a sue
