FLAT WHEEL PROBLEM.
Danger Spot In Railroad Travel That
Should Be Eliminated.


That a fiat wheel and brittle rails
form a dangerous combination is strik
ingly shown by statistics published in
the current issue of the Railway Age
Gazette. The statements of rail break
age due TO fat wheels are so astOnish-
ing that. coming from a less authOrita-
tive source, they would be regarded
with suspicion or accepted with the
greatest reserve. For example, il is
stated that in February of this year
sheIled out steel tired wheel on fast
train in Ohio broke $50 rails in a sin
gle rtln of 200 miles. On a railroad
line in New York state Il fast train
with flat wheel broke nearly 100
rails. In January a flat steel rolled
wheel on a Minnesota railroad broke
nine ninety-pOund steel rails in dis
lance of three miles, and in the same
month two fiat steel wheels on differ
ent trucks of a dining car broke 800
rails on South Dakota railroad.
Defective driving wheel tires have
also had their part in the breakage of
rails. 1t is stated that a locomotive
with a defective tire on one of its
driving wheels broke more than 100
rails on one trip and an equal number
on the return trip. Some of the rails
were found to have had inherent de
fectS, but in most cases Il contributOry
1cause was the extreme brittleneSS of
the rails. a subject to which railroad
managers and steel rail manufactur-
erS are now giving attention with the
aim of producing a rail less liable to
breakage
The fiat wheel problem, however, is
a more difficult one. as it has been
shown that one application of brake.

may produce fairness Constant watch
fulness is the only safeguard that ap-
pears, and the safety of railroad pas
sengers depends to a large extent on
the thOroughneSs with which this is
employed. High speed and heavy
trains put tremendous strain on
wheels and rails which they are not
able to withstand under certain cOnd-
lions. Here is the great danger spot
in railrOadinG which must be eliminGt-
ed before railroad travel can be re
garded as reasonably safe.

Blankets of Bark.

Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador.
and while the idea of an all wool. fresh
from the forest. bed covering might
give insomnia and backache to the
child of civilization who likes to snug
gle comfortably under several layers OF
down and wool. the natives find it all
right, as in fact it is. When an Ecua-
dor Indian wants a blanket he hunts
up a demajagua tree and cuts from it
a five or six foot section of the pecul-
fairly soft. thick bark. This is damp
ened and beaten until the flexibility Of
the sheet is much increased. The rough
gray exterior is next peeled off and the
sheet dried in the sun. The result is a
blanket, soft. light and fairly warm, of
an attractive cream color. 1t may be
rolled into a compact bundle without
hurt and with ordinary usage will last
