RAILS MADE TOO HASTILY.
The Old One* Cannot Wlth*tand the
Wear of Present-Day
Heavy 'Prattle,
A high authority on railroading says
that with locomotives weighing 140
tons and upward and freight ears of
100,000 pounds capacity and a steadily
increasing speed, the time is fast ap
proaching when all the old rails will
have to be taken up and heavier rails
laid. For some reason the steel rails
made now are not as durable as those
gnade 20 years ago. One reason is that
the blast furnace iron, instead of being
cooked and run into pigs, is run fluid
from the furnace to the mixer, thence
to the converter, where it is cast into
ingots.
Eleven passes through the rolls turn
an ingot into a bloom, and the bloom,
before it has a chance to know it, is
tossed into a heating furnace and
turned into a rail with only nine passes
through a train of rolls running at a
terrific speed of 900 feet a minute. The
rail is, it is said, finished too hot and
too quickly by the last passes through
the rolls being made with the rail at a
temperature of 2,000 to 2,200 degrees,
while 20 years ago it was not hotter
than 1,400 to 1,600 degrees. This lower
temperature allowed the steel to take
a certain “set,” and it was, therefore,
stronger.
Acorn* a* Dock Food.
According to a writer in a French
scientific paper, ducks fed on acorns,
which they will eat ravenously, not in
frequently lav' black eggs. The reason
is that their eggshell is naturally rich
in iron, and this combines with the
tannin in the acorn to produce a good,
fast black. The same paper states that
if fow ls are fed on boiled lobster shells
they will lay bright red eggs.

Philip Hale, of the Boston Journal,

This Anecdote Illustrates the Eller

Wherever and whenever Jack tin

the army he has made his mark so deep
ly that he has come to be looked upon
as indispensable, invincible, says the
London Spectator. His effervescent hu
mor never seems to desert him, as the
following anecdote, told the writer re
cently, fairly well illustrates: It was
at Gingihlovo, and the naval brigade
was face to face with an apparently
overwhelming force of Zulus, numbers
of whom were armed with rifles. T’;e
sailors were reserving their fire, oi.ly
sendihg an occasional volley when s
favorable opportunity presented itself.
Forth from the Zulu host stepped a w ar
rior laden with an ancient firearm,
which he calmly mounted upon atrip <1
in the open, while the sailors looked on
admiring his pluck, but wondering
much what he was proposing to do. At
last one jovial tar suggested that their
photographs were going to be taken,
and, by common consent, no shots were
sent at the supposed photogrupher.
Having loaded his piece with great de
liberation, the Zulu primed it. sighted,
and. leaning hard against its breech,
he fired. The recoil —for the thing was
much overloaded—knocked him head
nver heels backward, while a great roar
of laughter went up from the delighted
sailors, lie sat up looking hurt and
dazed, and then, the amusement over,
he, along with a suddenly charging impi
■of his countrymen, was annihilated by
a volley from the steadily aimed pieces
of the little cheerful band of bluejack
