IPREPAHED FOE THE DISrATCH.I
Concerning the speed of English railway
traveling, Julian Ralph says: "Is it true
that there is (aster traveling in England
than here? Yes, there is faster trains and
more of them. The run from London to
Liverpool is 200 miles, and it is made in 225
minutes, or at the rate of a mile in a minute
and 27 seconds, which, when the stops are
taken into account, is very nearly an
average of a mile a minute. The run to
Edinburgh on two railroads is made in the
same time. These are world-famous in
stances, but they are by no means the only
ones.
Mr. Ralph gives a very clear explanation
of the cause of the perfection in English
railroad building. England is a small
country densely populated. Her cities were
built up before the roads were constructed,
and to construct them was to make certain
of enormous traffic Erom end to end En
gland is only 565 miles long; from side to
side, at the broadest part, it is only 280 miles
wide. Illinois and England are about the
same size. Building railroads there was a
different thing from building them here.
Their profits naturally go toward perfectins
their plants, as ours have pone toward
lengthening our systems out into the West.
Our railroads have mainly developed their
own business, while theirs had their busi
ness already developed and awaiting them.
A comparison of English busiuess with ours
shows that England in 50 years has built
only 18,000 miles of r.vlioad, but in 18S2
those roads carried 63,000,000 passengers.
"We in 50 years have built 150,000 miles of
railroads, but in 18S5 we carried only 351,
000,000 passengers. In those facts and fig
ures lies reason enough for the superiorityof
the English railroad plant. "Give us the
nme conditions." adds Mr. Ralph, "and we
will do as well."

The usnal method of disinfecting drains ii
simply to pour the disinfectant down and
ltave it to do the best it can for itself. An
apparatus, named the "microbolizer," is
now used in England, which leaves nothing
to chance in the matter of perfect disinfec
tion. The apparatus consists of a small
hand pump fitted with, flexible suction and
delivery hose. When in use the suction is
connected with a pail or other vessel con
taining the disinfectant, and the delivery
which is perforated for a certain portion of
its length is inserted in the pipe or drain
to be cleansed. The apparatus is simple in
construction, and can be used by any do
mestic servant. It is capable of pumping
from 10 to 12 gallons per minute or disinfect
ing fluid with great force over the internal
surface of the pipes, removing the impure
matter and washing it away into the main
sewer or cesspool. It is made entirely of
copper and gun metal, so as to be free from
rust and chemical action, and is fitted with
a novel form of jet distributor, with spigot,
which, being flexible, can be passed through
any drain pipe or winding drain. A smaller
form is made for nse by a female for cleans
ing and disinfecting a sink pipe. It will
force any stoppage in the sink or other pipe
without tear ot bursting it.

Crcoiotlng of Wood.
Large quantities of wood for railway pur
poses are creosoted in Trance. The sleepers
a-e first seasoned in the open air and then
adzed and bored by a special machine,
leaded on trucks and run into a drying oven,
where they remain 21 hours or more. Alter
d-v ng at a temperature of about 17C
f atircnheit, they are run into a metal cylin
der t feet 3 inches in diameter, and 36 feet
1 g which is hermetically closed. The air
is then exhausted, and a partial vacuum is
ma ntuued for about half an hour. Com
munication is then opened with reservoirs of
dead oil, which is allowed to flow at a
temperature oi 17G Fahrenheit, under
pressure, auu mis pressure is aiterward in-crco-ed
by a lorcepump to 83 pounds per
square inch, and is maintained for over an
hour. The wood used is principally oak
and beech, the oak sleepers absorbing from
2 I to 2.7 quarts per cubic foot,and the beech
sieerxTS from 8.7 to 10 quarts. The whole
opera "ion occupies about four hours. In
'-estinj: the question of durability it was
!. und diat after 15 years' service the sleepers
taken out by the Eastern Railway Company
o rran-ee have been 15 per cent for creosoted
oak and 00 per cent for creosoted beech.
A Nalllen Horseshoe.
The periodical nailless horseshoe has
cropped np again. The latest form of it can
be secured firmly to the hoof without either
nails or screws. It is provided with clip
ping plates, or flanges, which project up
ward at an inclination from the base of the
shoe, which latter is open at theback, the
opening being bridged bya clamping screw.
The shoe is applied to the hoof, and the
flanges are dressed down upon it. The
screw at the back is then operated to bind
the shoe firmly to the hoof. Split or cracked
hoots are thus done away with. The shoes
can be put on in the morning and taken off
at night, thereby resting and cooling the
hoofs.
denning Boilers With Oil.
It is stated that in recent experiments the
cleaning of boilers with oil has been found
economical and effective in preventing rust
scale, besides exerting a cleansing influence
on the pipes. The best results were obtained
by the use of two quarts per wees: on boil
ers four feet in diameter, and 12 feet long,
and three quarts a week for boilers five feet
in diameter. The kerosene is introduced
through a quarter-inch branch to the suc
tion pipe of the feed pump, leading to the
vessel containing the oil, so that any quan
tity, large or small, could be pnt into the
boiler simultaneously with the nsnal feed.

Pavements In Paris.
Corsiderable attention has been recently
paid by the city authorities of Paris to ex
periments of various kinds of paving, nota
bly wooden and asphalt, but so far granite
and macadam seem to be the most favorably
regarded. .Macadam pavement in Pans is
restricted to streets where few vehicles pass
and to drives in the public parks, such as
the Bois du Boulogne. In repairing such
roads ot late y?ars it has been customary in
some places to mix old asphalt fragments
with the broken stone. The results, a3 re
gards wearing qualities, show little improve
ment over the unmixed stone. The great
advantage of the process lies in the fact that
such a pavement keeps remarkably clean
during the drv weaiherand does not "become
so muddy as the true macadam style during
lainy seasons. In the middle ol summer,
however, an unpleasant odor arises and the
surface has a dirty, black color.
Decay in Fabrics.
A Belgian chemist fs said to have devised
a method of rendering fabrics proof against
the ravages of decay foran indefinite period.
Noting the fact that rosin played an im
portant part in the wonderful preservation
of Ejrvptian mummies, Le made numerous
experiments with substances extracted from
birch Dark, to which the peculiar aroma of
Itus-ia lejther is due. He found that the
green tar winch is left over after the oil
used in tanning has been extracted from the
white bark of the birch tree yields neither
a id nor alk.iloid, and that in solution with
aleoh.il n forms a liquid of remarkable
fl u mitv, which has the power of resisting,
wheu dr, the action of even alcohol. It is
claimed that this preservation possesses the
propertv f uniting wnh the most delicate
Bnd brilliant colors, and rendering them
apparently imperishable.
An Openinc for Capitalists.
Tbe English industries states that a novel
Industry, resting strictly on chemical prin
ciples, and needing nothing but a little
capital and a dash of dishonesty to develop
it. is said to be practiced in Florida. It
cnsists in avoiding denendence upon tbe
slow and imperfect ripeninz of lemons by
the sun's lays, by picking the lruit while
green ami exnosms it to the utues of burn
ing sulphur, whereby its color is changed to
n rich golden yellow, infinitely more attract
ive than the natural hue. "It is true that
the interior of the lemon is practical lv ree
from juice, a fact which the hypercritical
might reckon a slight drawback;" but this is,
alfer all, a trivial matter, affecting only the
cousuuier," is the salve applied to the con
science. PpnrUle oflbp Diamond.
A jeweler's journal explains the ceaseless
motion of the diamond, which is so unac
countable to the uninitiated. The secret of
this motion is in the setting of the diamond,
and the method is patented. The patentee
is reaping a royalty of 550 from every man
ufacturing jeweler to uhom he sells the
privilege ot using it. The stone is set in
the usu.il tnauner, except that a band-like
appliance with rhodium tips is used. The
result is what scientists call a condition of
unstable equilibrium, and the twinkling
goes on and greatly enhances the flashing
beauty of the gem.
Stale Slllk.
Tne New Tork Medical Journal draws at
tention to the fact that a preparation named
preservaline is being sold to milk dealers to
enable them, by adding it to their milk, to
palm off stale milk on their customers. It
is supposed to consist mainly of boric or
salicylic acid. The persons concerned pro
fess that tbe milk is not made injurious by
this procedure, bnt it is quite obvious that
conditions may arise under which the con
trary mar be the case. It is fortnnate that
the State Dairy Commission has taken the
matter up.
Card Shuffling Machine,
A novelty which will be welcomed by all
bnt a fortunately very limited section of the
community is a card shuffling machine.
The action is quite simple. Two side
springs are grasped between the finger and
thumb of the left hand, and the cards are
placed with the right hand in a receptacle
at the top ot the machine. The springs are
released and the cards will automatically
shuffle themselves, tbe process being almost
instantaneous, and the shuffling perfect.
