Show STEEL WILL BE MILE LONG TIES SURE TO COME Inventors at Work on the Production of a Suitable Substitute for Wood. IMMENSE VIADUCT RAILROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The steel railroad tie is not new, but its use has made little headway Crosses the Valley of the Bow River In this country. Of late, however, it is being largely substituted for the in Southern Alberta, Canada wooden tie in. many of the leading Inan Truly Extraordinary Piece dustrial countries of Europe, as we of Engineering Work. are informed in Daily Consular and - Like some huge mounter, timid, in apite of Ita vast proportions, the Leth-ridg- e viaduct across the valley of the How river In southern Alberta, Canada, slowly steals its way day by day. And each time that a new supporting leg appears it seems as If the creature, enheartened, had dared to tHke another forward stride. The Lethbridge viaduct is an extraordinary piece of engineering work. Three hundred and twenty feet long, a weird, stark, figure against the landscape, when completed it will be a mile in length. On its back rides the traveling crane, that wonderful piece of modern mechanical ingenuity that makes such feats as the construction of this viaduct possible. It is almost literally alive. It crawls along, grasping in its powerful claws a plate girder 100 feet in length and as many tuns in weight. It deposits this heavy load exactly where it is desired by the constructionists. and then obediently creeps back for another helping. The steel legs of the viaduct are supported on bases of that fiver useful and most valuable material, roncrete. These may be compared to stepping stones for the naked logs of steel that j j : I Trade Reports by Consul H. Albert Johnson of Liege, Helgiuui. The consul says: When these ties are carefully construct d in order to meet the demands of the modern railway traffic, they are in general favored on account of their superior solidity and j tower of resistance. Nevertheless, their high price, certain defects in form, and the absence so far of a convenient and simple mode of attachment have prevented In a great measure their general adoption, although they are being more extensively utilized. it is asserted that the English manufacturers have on the market a tie of grooved section that sells for $30 per ion, or less than the present cost of wooden ties. It is evident, therefore, that under these conditions the use of the steel tie would produce decided economical results for the railways. A good steel tie of moderate price Is urgently needed by the railwsys of Europe, and the prospect of supplying such a demand might he worth the of steel American consideration works.

It is also estimated that the railways consume something like 40,000.000 ties per annum, and this consumption is said to he Increasing at the rate of 3,000,000 a year."

WRECKS TRAIN TO SAVE HER Little Girl So Scared She Fainted on the Track Engineer Slaps on Brakes. In saving the life of Mary Mallln of Ashley Engineer John Knapp of the Central railroad of New Jersey caused a wreck which blocked the road for several hours and will, it la estimated, cost the company about $4,000, says a WUkesbarre (Pa.) dispatch.

When she saw the engine rushing upon her she was so scared that she fell In a faint directly across the rails. Engineer Knapp saw there was but one chance of saving her.
