.11 11 11 V Touuli Problem.
From the Providence Journal.
Many experts on highways liavo
looked Into the claims of the steel road
advocates and of late a few Hample
stretches have been put down. They
have been successful. The Idea orlpln
ulrtl In Austria some twenty years aso.
I; was put In use at one of the mines
t! ore, but the knowledge of this steel
road for carttns the ore did not reach
t!p cutslde world until lately.
The steel road, so-called, constats of
tM wide steel rails laid a sufficient
distance apart so that the wheels of a
wupon will run on the comparatively
smoi'th metal, thus savlni? considerable
lrlt'tlun. There Is u tow path between
the rills for the horse or horses.
This' scheme of making a railway for
cnlirnry vehicles originated several
years ago. It has been a gradual
growth up to Its present stace. In the
8 neral movement for better roads be
gun some years ago the probable germ
was started In an article written by a
toad expert calling attention to the
advnntagcH of having steel rails on the
highways between towns, which should
be owned by the state and used In
rnmmon by the residents. The Idea was
Unit cars could be built which mlshf
1" run by a company, or owned or hired
bj '.he farmers, who could attach their
Imiaes to them, and In this way find a
1 heap mode of carrying their products
to market. A short time after this an
Improvement was made to the railroad
Hack Idea. It wan that a rail should
Ih' laid which would be suitable for all
asons of the regulation gauge. These
rirrl rails weie to be made trough
bltap". About a year ago the present
te! highway was designed ufter con
siderable experiment.
ASSUMING SHAPE.
t first this fiteM highway was pro'.
I ored as un economical way to avoid
the expense of building highways In
the poorer sections of the country,
v here a macadam road would be out
of the question on account of the ex
penditure. Then It wan thought that
! a country where stone wa scarce,
rnd consequently macadam was not
P uetlcable, this steel highway would
K-.lve the problem of good roads. Later
t'ic whole subject received an ImpetUB
lrom the experiments whlrh were made
In the Iron district In Pennsylvania.
Tin' drivers of the heavily loaded carts
there would follow In the same rut.
until after a time the best stone road
.ould be cut Into ribbons. The .talk of
an Iron highway reached the residents
lucre and they immediately thought of
lis application.
The first road of this kind ever built
In this country Is a sample stretch
near Pittsburg. The rail as designed
end used there Is different from the
one recommended by the department
at Washington.
The line of progress made In highway
construction has tended In this direc
tion for years. And It Is a well-known
ract that In transportation man has
never gone backward. In the early
days the trail was used and man car
ried the burden. Later the mule and
lorse were pressed Into service, to be
rciiowea uy the wheeled cart. Then
tivne me iron-rimmeu wheels, the stage
coch and overland express, and last
Ihevrallroad has placed Itself us the
crow-ting point of the evolution.
TheSdlfference In cost between haul
ing a ton a mile on macadam or by rail
1b very large. The average cost by the
former 1925 centa per ton per mile; by
jail tho cost of a tnlle haul Is one
quarter ofa cent
To lessenXthe coat of haul! on high
ways the natural way seems to ap
proach to the: railroad. The breed of
draught horsek Is about as good as
may be expected. Little Improvement
can be made in Vehicles, but to get a
lower cost of hauk there Is room for n
great deal of ImprVHaB't In tho sur
face of the hlghwaBl comparative
scale of the traction Fdlfferent kinds
of roads shows that takes only ten
licr cent, of the powerlto draw a load
on u steel hlehway which would be ex.
pended on tho' same loud Vi a, macadam
I
nnioP Unfit!
Ill dill!
road, or four per cent, of the power nec
essary to pull the load on u dirt roiUl.
The traction on the steel highway Is
light. Of course It takes considerable
force to overcome the. Inertia of a
vehicle, but when once started a two
ton load showed a pull of 25 pounds on
a spring balance to keep It In motion,
A carriage containing two persons was
drawn along on level by a man with
his little finger. Anyone who has oc
casion to get between the shafts and
draw an empty carriage on a dirt sur
face well known the difference.
The horse cars are not so relegated
to ancient history but they rriay be re
called. When tho large number of pas
sengers two horses drew In the old
stylo cars la remembered as compared
with the number of men that two
horses can drnw In a wagon, the dif
ference in work that may bo accom
plished on dirt and on steel rail may
be plainly seen.
IN ANOTHEK FORM.
This idea In other forms Is yet older.
pThere Is In fact the stone road at
Itondout, N. Y. This was built a gen
eration aco and was used for many
years In cartlntr the stone and cement
from the quarries and mines there. Its
construction was on the same principle
as tho steel highway. Flagstones were
laid In the road bed, and a groove was
cut In which the wheels ran. There
was a dirt tow-path In the centre for
the hoise. Tho road extended several
miles back from the Hudson and was
a success. In those days the wagons
from the cement mines and heavily
loaded stone teams found In this stone
road a good highway nll the year
round. It was only abandoned after
the mines were worked out.
The steel hlghwny Is somewhat of n
misnomer, the same ns railroad may
be; that Is, the name may create a
false ImpressMn. The "steel road" Is
In the beginning built the snme as any
other macadam highway. The rails
are laid at the crown; they are about
eight Inches wide, and placed Just so
far upart that they will accommodate
the gauge of the vehicles used In a dis
trict. The construction of the road itself Is
simple. The rails are made In the shape
of an Inverted trough. There Is a
slight flare on tho llanges which In
sures a cooil hold In the foundation.
They are set In macadam, coarse
broken stone, which Is drained at In
tervals to carry off the surfuce water.
The ends are clamped and bolted to
gether, protected by vltrilled brick.
There Is no connection between tho
parallel rails. The centre, or tow
path, has a good crown for shedding
water. There Is a bead or rib on tho
Inside of each rail, which will keep the
wheel of the wason from running off
the smooth steel surface.
This road Is good In summer or win
ter. The tow path is easily repaired.
A combination hopper, scraper and
roller, with guide wheels, runs on tho
rails, and repairs any unvenness at
one operation.
General Stone, tho head of the federal
department, which has churge of this
subject, has thoroughly Investigated
this project, and Is anxious to have a.
stretch built in the north', for he be
lieves that the host way to disseminate
good road Ideas Is to build highways.
Tn speaking of this subject to tho
Rhode Island state authorities General
Stone remarked that the cost of a ram
ple mile would probably be about 13500.
This would be for the first mile. After
the mills hud made thin fall In large
orders the price would bo much less.
If tho state of Rhode Island would
make an appropriation to build a sam
ple half-mile on one of the nuds "con
necting with Massachusetts, so that It
would be an Inter-state road, the Na
tional government would give them
some help.
DKNEFITS.
The benefit of such a road In the
country districts, where nt present It Is
all mud In winter and dust In summer
and ruts all tho time, would be felt nt
onre by those who carried farm pro
mise to the market, as well as by all
vcrlclo tralflc.
Tho cost of maintenance of such a
highway would be less than what Is
spent en highways, even in tho country
districts at present. The rail has little
contraction or expansion, ns It takes
practically the temperture of the
ground. If properly placed at the build
ing of the road, it would last over a
generation, ns is shown by the one
which as been used in Austria for over
20 years. There Is little rust or de
terioration as far as can be seen. Ac
cording to the experiments tried In this
country, although' the rails have been
set in the road a little over a year,
they appear the same as when placed
them first.
Many highway experts who have
looked over the stol highway in all
Its bearings consider that It may be
the solution of the good roads problem,
will prevent ruts and give the cheapest
foim of road known.
Ileiiting the Vatican.
From Tit-Bits.
The recurring Indisposition of the popo
has ufwln raised the question of heating
the Vatican, a problem which, so far. has
never been satisfactorily solved. Thero
are no fewer than 11.000 rooms In the Pa
pal Palace, and muny of them never re
celvo a ray of sunllKht. Prolescor La
ponl. the physlclun to his holiness, has
tried by all the means In his power to
maintain a normal temperature In the
private apartments, but without effect,
and tlioy remain much too cold for the
dally diminishing vitality of the pope. An
architect recently submitted a plan for
distributing hot air all through the Vati
can, but when the coit was mentioned
30.000 the popo dismissed tho subjoct
with a wave of the hand.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Jan. C Today's stock mar
ket wnt broad, animated and str6ng
tl tour.hout, and gains were maintained
with only Inslgnliicant reactions at a few
Intervals. The buying was on a very
large scale, and was aggressive and con
fident. A number of prominent opera
tors were in the movement and their
vrtnbli'ud t.lklnprs made up a largo shuro
of the total triim-nctlons of tho day.
Hut there was nniilfest an outside inter-c-t
in the mnrlcct which was awakened
by yesterday s stm.pth, and the commis
sion house business waB on n fairly large
s;ule Tho investment demand for safe
dividend palng stocks and the heavy
buying of bonds were also evidences of
an it.iuslon of new life into the market.
It Is, likely that these dealings were due
to the large amounts made available for
Investment by the January division and
Interest disbursements. Most of tho
dealings were professional, nevertheless,
and they seemed to have been Incited by
the very confident expressions of one of
the largest and most dashing operators
In the market, and who was In largo part
tho leader of last summer's rise. Some
of thu most notable gains were achieved
early In thu day and were quite firmly
held throughout, even In tho faco of very
large transactions. Thero was a sugges
tion of realizing In this, but all offer
ings were well absorbed and the closing
was only slightly below the best and
bhowed net gains of between one and two
points for nearly all active stocks. Total
sales were 3S9,G00 shares.
