Tor a fiyiEg instant upon rail sur
lace perhaps no more than an inch
square and then moving forward all
the time, succession Of whirHng
blows from a 13-ton hammer, says a
writer in the Metropolitan. If the
train is going 80 miles an hour, an
imaginary square inch has f-52Sth part
blow. vince under it, distribute the
terrible force OF 1t through its elastic
elements to the surrounding mass OF
the rail, brace itself to help distrib-
ute stresses that are being set upon
adjacent surfaces and zigzagging lack
forth in all sorts OF ways through the
content of the rail, and then almost
instantly lift its devoted head to re-
ceive the blow of the next driving
wheel. If the train Is going 60 miles
an hour instead OF so, this all has to
be received. withstood and passed on
in 1-1,056th pare IF second.
And yet, this isn't all that is hap
pening 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 a tug-of-war,,
and they take fresh hold every frac-
ton of a second. The tendency Is to
pull the top or head of the rail. to
pull it all to pieces. 1t is the business
OF the rail to stick together, head and
web and figure. in every single and
separate molecule with all the tenacity
OF which steel is capable. But we
have stated only one-half the tension
strain. This strain is reversing ali
the time, for while the huge drivers
are pulling one part of the rail toward
them they are pushing another part
away from them. This plucking and
spurning. hauling and kicking, tension
and compression goes on continuous
ly. Complete reversing from com
preston to tension or back again
takes place with every half turn Of
driving wheel, and at a frightfully
rapid rate. Ths marvel is that the
rail- ID not ground TO powder.

SUFFRAGE PARADE
BRILLIANT AFFAIR

New York, May 3-The army
of women suffrage marched up
Fifth avenue this afternoon,
20, 900 strong, to the martial
music CT fine marsellaise, blared
from forty bands.
On uniforms Of white, gleam-
ing with yellow streamers, they
paraded in the heat of a midsum-
mer sun for three miles FROM
w ashington Square to 59th
street. A field of yellow banners
appealed for Votes for wom-
en-" to an unbroken field of spec
tators, estimated at near a quar-
ter of a million.
Inez Mihollapd, riding astride
a mettlesome chestnut cob, d.
rectly behind an escort of mount
ed police, led the marchera. Be-
hind her walked eight girls in
blue. with silken flags; after
them came women with the suf-
frage map and its nine yellow
stars. Then came the rank and
file marching resolutely and
smiling for 1.-THE cause. -
Women with snowwhite hair,
children not yet out of rompers;
girls from Sweden. women
from New Zealand; cowgirls
from Oklahoma; newsboys from
the east side; Wall street brokers
these and the artisans of many
trades and callings marched in
unbroken lines. eight abreast, dis
banding finally at the Fifty
ninth street plaza to overflow
into two great mass meetings.
Crowds. held to the curb by
1000 bluecoats. gave vociferous
welcome and applause. The city
authorities, intent on avoiding
repetition of the disorder of the
suffrage parade at Washington,
made elaborate police arrange
sncfts ANA the parade was mol
marred by any untoward Incl.
dent.
The woman's Political union,
one thousand strong and broken
into many detachments, was in
the forefront of the line. Their
banners bore many notices.
Some of them were:
