Each Rail When Finished Containa a Fracture, Asserts A. W. Heinle—Fault Said to Be In Method of Manufacture and Not In Metal—Naw Shape Urged. “Every steel rail before It leaves the rolls at the rolling mill is more or less fractured,” was the sensational state ment made by an expert roll turner in Pittsburg recently, save a special des patch to the New York Herald. “The fracture is not visible and does not de velop until a train load of cars is rushed over the track. This causes the track to roll In waves, and the fracture In the steel develops into a break, which is discovered by a track walker or a train Is wrecked.” O. W. Heinle, whosQ home Is In Graf ton, a suburb of Pittsburg, Is an ex pert and consulting roll turner and has made steel rails a life study. His fa ther is also a roll designer. The elder Mr. Heinle laughs at his son’s efforts to show up the weakness in rail con struction, although his views coincide with those of his son. The younger Heinle is a persistent advocate of a change in the present T rail, which Is declared a menace to life and property. Should Mr. Heinle’s contention be proved correct that it is the shape of the rail which leads to so many breaks and accidents It would cost many mil Hons of dollars to replace the present standard sections with a new style rail The distance between New York and Chicago on the Pennsylvania railroad is given as 911 miles. There are two rails to each stretch of track, making four times 911, or 3,944 miles of steel rails. This does not take Into consid eration the side tracks or the sections which have four tracks, the yards or branch lines—merely the main line on which passenger trains are operated. The present standard rail laid on trunk lines Is ninety pounds per yard. Thus there are approximately 8,413,440 yards of rails on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad between New York and Chicago. Should a new style rail be adopted of the same height. It would require a rail of 100 pounds, or 641*844,000 pounds of steel, or 820,672 tons of rails. If the present track of the Pennsylvania system between New York and Chicago was to be taken up and a hundred pound rail substituted, the ninety pound sections would be sold as scrap or converted into rails for sidings, switches, etc., thus repre senting a cash conversion. The laying of new sections could not be done for less than $15 per ton, cash, or $4,710, 080. When it is taken into consideration that there are about 250,000 miles of so called travel track on the railroads of the United States, which correspond to main lines, and all these steel rails are to be replaced, the total cost is about $660,000,000. The 250,000 miles of track must be multiplied by two, as each piece of track has two rails. While these figures are not absolute ly correct, they carry out the Idea why the railroads of the United States are opposed to adopting a new style of rail, as such a change would bankrupt the entire ralltoad system of the coun try; for It is well known that should a piece of track be put down which proves unbreakable every railroad In the country would, have to adopt such a rail or be ruined through damages incurred from accidents and be con demned by the traveling public as well for sticking to a rail which proves un sound and breakable through the nat ural wear and tear of railroad travel. “When the pig iron Is converted into steel through the open hearth furnace or the Bessemer converter," said Mr. Heinle, “the molten metal, which has been changed from Iron to steel by chemical action and the elimination of certain chemical elements and the ad dition of others, is poured into a large cast iron mold and formed Into an in got As the metal cools It shrinks in the mold at the top and center, gradu ally settling in the center in an in verted cone shape. This is termed the ‘piping’ In the mold. Toward this pipe all the impurities In tho steel ingot flow. Tbs pipe may be from six inches to eighteen inches deep, according to the size of the Ingot mold. The larger the mold the greater the size of the Pipe. “Instead of cutting this pipe off pre paratory to reheating the ingot and rolling It down Into a bloom it is per mitted to remain in the steel. In the rolling process the pipe containing the chemical Impurities is gradually spread out through the rail. Cutting off this piece of pipe and eliminating these Im purities is absolutely prohibitive In practice owing to the cost involved. After the ingot is rolled down Into a bloom which will make the proper sized rail the bloom Is rolled into a rail. “When rails were rolled In thirty foot lengths, a larger ingot had to be made, and the piping l»ocame greater. The impurities in the pipe, Instead of being evenly distribute*! throughout the en tire rail, only affect some section or part, and this becomes the weakest from a chemical standpoint. ‘This Is recognized by all metallur gists, but It is not In the chemical structure that a rail is weakest It is lu the physical treatment or rolling. Rolls can be constmcted that will tear the steel to pieces, while other rolls will make a smooth shape. I contend that the roll bnllt to shape the rail specified by the railroad engineers is partly incorrect This Is not the fault of the rail makers. It Use with the tallroeds. It Is e matter of dollars and cents with them to get a rail made as cheaply as possible. The steel mak ers are willing to make a different shaped rail, and it remains for the rail roads to adopt a new standard. “To illustrate the weakness in the existing T rail I must explain how the rail Is rolled. The top of the rail, which comes Into contact with the wheels of the train, is termed the ‘ball’ or ‘head’ of the rail. That part supporting the head is the web, and the bottom of the rail, which is fastened to the wood en tie and supports the web, is the tlange. To make the head of the rail strong enough to carry the weight and to meet the shock of a train passing over It the head is made the heaviest, tho web being much lighter, and the flange Is formed at right angles with the web, also very light. “In rolling the chunk of metal known as the bloom down to a rail the heated metal Is crushed into shape by the rolls. In passing through the rolls the thinnest parts of the rail cool the quickest. This is the flange. The re sult is that the Impurities spoken of In the piping of the Ingot flow to the hottest part of the metal, which Is the head. The flange of the rail contains the finest steel, and the head, which comes into direct contact with the heavy locomotive wheels, the poorest, whereas it should bo the best But it Is not in the head of the rail that the fault lies which causes the rail to frac ture and break. It is between the web and the flange. “Ninety per cent of the rails that are found broken in the track are ruptured at the base of the web and top of tho flange. You can put the steel rail to the severest test and the fracture wjll not show. It cannot be discovered even by a microscope. But Just as soon as a large locomotive, followed by a heavy train, comes thundering over the rail the fracture appears and spreads. “Steel Is not fibrous, like wrought Iron. It is granular. The finer the grain of steel the more it adheres to the other grains surrounding It If steel was fibrous It would not frac ture, but would be more apt to split and bend. Steel will stand up well under a steady strain, but It is the everlasting pounding of passing trains that breaks the rail. “When a train passes over a track the latter bends Into waves the same as thin ice does when the small boy runs over it playing Pompey on the Ice pond. Finally the boy breaks through after be has sufficiently fractured the Ice or has put too much of a load on It It Is exactly the same with the rail. The boy makes forty or fifty trips over a stretch of thin Ice, which waves under him, but eventually he will have fractured it to such an ex tent that It will break under him. Any locomotive engine driver will tell you that the sensation of passing over a waving track Is similar to that of running over thin Ice. “It has been asked why rails are not set In concrete or something to make the track rigid and thus avoid the wave motion. This has been tried and found ineffective. The speedy travel of a train acts similarly to heavy pounding and sudden shocks and the rigid supports ou tracks soon break Into pieces. The track most wave as the ponderous mass passes over It to be safe. If It was rigid. It would be far more dangerous. “The present style of rail, when broken down in the rolling mill, as we term it, to a rail shape, Is pretty fair until we begin shaping It into a rail. The rolls, while running in one direc tion, are tearing the web away from the flange. That is, the web is being formed by a vertical action, while the flange is being formed through a later al pressure of the roll. There is a pull ing away from each, creating a frac ture. “My contention is that there should be a fillet of steel rolled between the web and tbe flange. Thns the weight of metal would be equalized, and there would be as much steel In the flange as there is In the head. The fracture which takes place at the meeting of the flange and the web would be ob viated, because the metal in the base of the rail would be heavier. The shape I Imre in mind would be termed a compound rail. “The compound rail would have to contain about ten more pounds of steel to tbe yard than do the rails in use at the comparative height This Is not such a great factor of expense when it Is taken Into consideration that the breakages of rails cause numerous ac cidents, and tbe cost of removing rails constantly Is no small part of the rail expense. I believe the rail should be lowered in height “Chemists and metallurgists need not look for any chemical change In steel. They must look for the trouble In the physical treatment which they have wholly Ignored.” Immigrants From the Canary Islands. The arrival at New Orleans of the immigrant ship Pio Nono, with a band of sturdy natives of the Canary Islands aboard, will probably mark the cessa tion of Immigration from the shores of Bpaln into the new world, says the New Orleans Picayune. The little band which made up tbe passenger list of tbe 1'io Nono numbered thirty persons in all, men, won^n and children. They experienced no trouble meeting tbe laws of the United States and the statutes covering immigration In Lou isiana. All In the party appeared to be In the best of health and were found to be a most desirable set of people. The arrival of the party marks the first time in a century that a band from the Canary islands has sought Lovflslana in which to cast their fortunes. Defoe’s House to Bo Torn Down.

MAY SAVE RUSSIAN WARSHIPS Takao Iwanmi of Washington Gets Patent on Invention Which Is Said to Make Work Under Water Easy at Twice the Depth Possible Heretofore. Evolution of the marine world, the raising of battleships that have been sunk, tbe bringing to the surface of treasure vessels that went to the bot tom years and years ago as well as sunken merchant boats in all parts of the world, is promised by tbe inven tion of a Washington man, a Japanese, whose ingenious brain has been at work at tbe task a long time, princi pally for the benefit of bis own nation to enable it to gain possession of Rus sian battleships lost In the late war, writes a Washington correspondent of the Chicago Post. Takao Iwanmi, a Japanese employed In the drafting division of the South ern railway in Washington, has invent ed a diving apparatus with which ef forts are to be made to raise the ships of war that were sunk during the en gagements between Japan and Russia. Two of tbe sunken vessels are of tbe Russian type, while the same number are those of the Inventor’s native land. The ships are at the bottom of the sea, all within a radius of ten miles from Port Arthur. Iwanmi has been at work on the In vention five years. Only recently has he perfe<fted the outfit, however, and not long ago he had his apparatus pat ented. The Inventor has been in Wasli Ington several years. He Is of an in ventive tnm of mind and has many other devices that he Is laboring on from time to time. The feature of Iwanmi’s diving suit is his claim that It will allow the diver to go to a depth of 300 feet In the wa ter. This has been the weak point of other Inventions of this character, ow ing to the fact that they were not made to resist the pressure of the wa ter below something like 150 feet. An other feature of Iwanml’s apparatus is that by means of the pumping ma chinery and tbe lines of hose the man at work far below the water’s surface will be able to remain at his task for hours at a time. Tbe air will be supplied by a ma chine which Is run by a storage bat tery. Tbe floating paraphernalia will be different from that now In use, In that It will not be a boat, but a vertical floating buoy. This will contain an assistant or two and tbe air machinery leading to the man working 800 feet below. After reaching tbe vessel as it rests on tbe bottom of tbe sea It will be com paratively an easy task to bring the old bull to tbe surface. Having gained his point, tbe diver will set about to lo cate tbe boles and openings In the wrecked ship. If the ship went down, as did those of tbe Russians and the Japanese as well, tbe holes made by tbe shot and shell will be found and repaired. Then the portholes, the batches and tbe gangways will be In spected and where necessary repaired to such an extent that they will be come water tight. After this task has been completed additional apparatus will be brought Into use, and the work of pumping tbe water from the hull will be started. Holes will be bored in the sides of the ship, and into these pipe lines will be extended. Tbe line will be attach ed to powerful pumping engines In a vessel on the water’s surface, and slow ly but surely the water from the inside of the wrecked boat will be brought out. When this has been accomplish ed the holes will be plugged, the tem porary anchors removed, and, accord ing to all calculations of the inventor, the steel hull will ascend rapidly to tbe top. Here it will be attached to a line and towed to the nearest shipyard, to once again enter the service of the ma rine shipping interest of the world. Iwanmi has already received an of fer for one of his diving suits. He is to receive $1,500 for it as soon as placed aboard a ship consigned to the parties Interested, who are lu Japan. The apparatus Is to be made lu Balti more. It will be much like other div ing suits, but will be made stronger by tbe use of steel ribs. These ribs will be all through tbe rubber, about half an Inch apart, and will make it possi ble for the diver to go to a much greater depth and stand the water pressure than has ever been accom plished by means of the other inven tions. Eventually Iwanmi expects to turn his attention altogether to tbe business which will be brought about by means of his Invention. London’s Bishop Who Will Visit Us.

London is to have a romance In mar ble—nothing in point of splendor like It In New York, at any of the exclusive resorts or anywhere on the continent. The London Chronicle as well as all of the Loudon dailies and the weeklies contain accounts and pictures of tbe Byzantine gorgeousness and majesty of the structure. The Chronicle uses finer adjectives, and Its account in part is used; The somewhat old fashioned exterior of Sir Ernest Cassel’s new residence, Brook House, now just cleared of an Intricate network of scaffolding, gives little Idea of the work within and the remarkable architectural undertaking that Is transforming the mansion into the most magnificent town house In London. Its splendor challenges comparison with “Arabian Nights” palaces, and eastern romance is rivaled by present day actuality in the world quest for material of service and adornment. All comers of the earth have been ran sacked to produce the various mate rials for the fulfillment of the owner’s hopes and the architect’s refined scheme. It is now nearly two years since Sir Ernest Cassel bought Brook House from Lord Tweedmoutb. It has taken over twelve mouths to quarry the 800 tons of statuary marble of which the main staircase Is composed. This marble^s from the famous quar ry at Sarravezza, once the property of the Popes Julius II. and Leo X. of the Medici family. Michael Angelo, sent from the Vatican in 1490 to prospect, was amazed at the beauty of the mate rial, and it Is said bis report to the pope deprecated its quality so that he might obtain a monopoly of tbe mine for his own sculptures. From that date all of Angelo’s masterpieces were chiseled from these Tuscany marbles. Not only Is tbe actual stairway in Brook House of this marble, but the floors and walls are paneled with the polished stone. Corinthian columns seventeen feet In height, hewn out of the solid block, give support to tbe upper floor and the great gallery un derneath the immense dome. Just a vein of color Is visible In these pillars, and tbe greatest difficulty has been experienced in getting such Immense pieces without a flaw. There is no Roman dining room in London or In England, when all Is said, and it Is a question if In the Eternal City Itself there Is a marble dining room of such majestic dimen sions as that In course of construction for Sir Ernest Cassel. The rotunda- like addition to the former stracture. noticeable from the Park lane side. Is In reality a long room with rounded ends, ahd the arched celling Is nearly thirty feet high. In the Enemy’s Camp. A Presbyterian clergyman was prais ing the late Dr. Henry Martyn Field of Stockbridge, who for forty-four years edited the Evangelist. “Dr. Field did so much good,” he said, “because he went about bis work diplomatically, sensibly, reasonably. I once heard him declare that reformers failed often because tbe moment they started a reform they dropped common sense. Common sense was swallowed up in zeal. He said that a nerve cure faddist once entered a shop and, lead ing th# proprietor to one side, whis- pered mysteriously: “ ‘Ah, friend, friend, you can do the race untold good If you will only take the agency for our anti-tea prepara tion. It Is warranted to cure in a week the most confirmed and nerve racked tea tippler. Never again’— “But the dealer laughed and drew away. “ ‘You have made a mistake,’ he said. T can’t take su<-h an agency as that. Don’t you see that this Is a tea shop?’ “ ‘Oh, no mistake,’ said the reformer eagerly. ‘It’s localise you run a tea shop that I have sought you out. You come into constant contact with the very people we are trying to reach.’”— Washington Star. The Cov/boy Bishop. Once while still bishop of Wyoming ami Idaho Bishop Talbot went to St. I’aid to attend a meeting of dignitaries of the church. There one noon, on the porch of the hotel, a tramp approached a group of bishops and asked ibr aid. “No,” one of the charchme-:! replied, “I don’t think we can do anything. But down there is the youngest bishop of us all,” pointing to Bishop Talbot, “and he’s a very generous man.” The tramp went to Bishop Talbot, and the others watched with Interest. They saw a look of surprise come over the tramp's face; they saw that the bishop was talking eagerly, earnestly: they saw the tramp look perturbed, but they finally saw that something passed from hand to hand. The tramp tried to get away without Cftoaklng to those of the group, but the former spokesman called to him: “Well, did you get something from our young brother?” The tramp grinned sheepishly. “No; I gave him a dollar for his new cathe dral at Laramie!”—Harper's.

John Langley, who comes to tbe next congress ns a representa tive from Kentucky, used to be ap pointment clerk of the census bureau. He knew how not to make an appoint ment when he didn’t want to. A story, Is told of an excellent old clergyman from Pennsylvania who called on Langley to urge the appointment of a young woman from that state. Tbe appointment clerk talked In such man ner as to lead the clergyman to believe that his young woman would get the appointment. It didn’t materialize, however, and the man of the cloth asked one of Langley’s subordinates: “What kind of a man is Mr. Lang ley?” “A good man, I think,” was the loyal reply. “But what is his reputation for truth and veracity?” “I always understood it to be sound." “No. He tells me crooked tales. He told me a flat falsehood.” “There must be some mistake.” “No, there is no mistake, and I told him he had told me a falsehood.” “And what did he say to that, sir?” “He put his hands on my shoulders and said, ‘My good brother, pray for me.’ "—Washington Herald.
