C A M PBEJLL & JONES,
MACON, GA.,
A new and somewhat singular mate
rial for railway and tramway sleepers
has lately been introduced in to England,
this material being glass toughened by a
process discovered by Mr. Frederick
Siemens, of Dresden, Owing to fur.
Sicmen’s patents for the most recent
improvements in his process not yet
being completely soc.ire-.l-, we must'
postpone for the present any dot al.of
thetjugheuing process itself, bat wc
mast-state that its effect appears to-be.
to secure a product diFering essentially
from glass t rnghened by the well known
proc-ecs of M. Del a B-lsUe, inasmuch ns.
when brokeu it does hit fly to pi-ces
like glass treated by the. l.st mentioned
process, b:it merely frac.'ires soiflowbat
like cast iron.
The material used by Mr. Siemens
lor his sleepers is glass of the common
est kind moulded tp a,ny desired form.
Tko.sleepers are beiug introduced into
thufesuiintry Mr, Hamilton Lindsay
Bucktml!, vlio has lately laid soine of
them on the line of North Metropolitan
Tramways at High Street, Stratford;
The sleepers iu this case lire of exactly
thh same section as the wooden lohgita
hal sleepers they have repfiftSd, namely
rcct:ngnlar. 1 inches wide by 6 Inches
dec-p, tho ufiper side beiug moulded
as to accurately fit the rails. They are
laid in lengths of 3 feet, and to avoid
the danger of settlement at the joint
bearing plates, 10 by 5 inches by 11
inch, are placed at these points, these
platue being ulu uti iz.-d for effecting
the securing of the rails by a fastening
which obviates the necessity of mould
ing any Ui/Ie iu the glass. We may add
luat samples of the. sleepers above men
tioned have been tested by Mr, Kiical-
dy, and"their average breaking weight
when resting on supports 3J inches
apart has been found to be about five
tons, this being probably ub ut two
thirds of the resistance which wool 1 be
afforded by a good pine sleeper ol simi
lar dimension. It mu ft, however, be
borne iu mind that, whereas the timber
would become depreciatM by use* the
glass promises to be practically inde
structible by moisture, etc.
At the works of Mr. William Houdey-
son, a plate of Mr. fcsiejne'js’ toughened
glass, 9 inches a<pu' - u by 1$ inch thick,
embedded in iu gravel ballast 9 inches
deep, an.1 having uu its top a wood
packing 1 inch thick, and a piese of rail,
was subjected to the ac.iou of a falling
weight, the blows being delivered on
the’rail. The weight was 9 C >vt., and
bljws were successively being delivered-
by letting tail weight fall from he gilts
o' 3 feet,5 feet 6 inches, 7 feet.TO feet. 12
feel (5 inches, 15 feet, 17 feet 6 inches,
and 20 feet. (Jades the list mentioned
blow the rail broke, the glass, however,
being uuinjured. As a higher fall could
not be obtained, and a- greater, weight
was not available, a singller section ol
rail was substituted for that previou «ly
employed, and the glass was broken by
a second blow of the 9cwt. falling 20
feet the plate being diivon through the
ballastiot ) the hard grou id. A cast
iron plate, 9 inches square and 1 inch
thick, tested .in a similar way, broke
with a blow from the 9owt., weight
dropped 10 feet
The cost of the toughened glass is
stated to bo about the same per ton as
as that of cast iron, but as its s, ec-ifi
gravity is only about one third that of
iron, cost of any art cle. of given dimen
sions is of course materially less. The
material hasms.yet.beeu too recently in
troduced, aud too little is known of its
characteristics, t > euable any very de
cided opinion to be loomed as to its fu-
tnre capabilities; but'the results of the
experiments so far made with the ma
terial am ceitaiuly of an exceedingly
promising chnractor, and the further
development of its application will be
watched with much interest.—Engineer-

It is an established .fact that Quinine
:or Cinchouidia will stop Chills, and for
this purpose there is nc better remedy.
But it is also an established fact that
they do not remove the cause, that pro
duces the Chills. For if they did, the
Chills would not.return on the 7th, 14tli,
,21st or 28th day. Then is it net money
LOST to attempt in' permanent)^ cure
the Chills with Quinine or Cinchonidia,
when they do not remove the cause
from the system that produces them?
For until the cause is removed, the
Chills will relurn. The

Tfiere is a plant growing among ihe
luxuriant scrubs of Queensland which is
as deadly in its effect-i as-fire. TLe
Scientific America?i describes there
plants and their effecis, as follows;
Theyare found growii g from two and
three inches high to ten or fifteen feet;
in the old ones the stem is whitish, and
red berries nsualij grow on the top. It
emits a. peculiar, disagrcable smell, but
is best known by its leaf, having a point
on the top, and is jagged all around the
edge, like tlie nettle. All the leaves are
large, some larger than a saucer.
Sometimes, says a traveler, while
Shooting turkeys in the scrubs I have
entirely forgotton the stinging tree till
warned by its smell, and I have then
found myself in a forest of them. I
was only once stuug, and that very
lightly.
Its effects are carious. It leaves no
mark, but .the pain is maddening, and
for months the part when touchetl is
tender in rainy weather, or when it gets
wet in washing etc.
I have seen a man who treats ordina
ry pain lightly, roll on the grpun I iu
agony after being stung, and I have
known a horse so entirely mad liter
getting into a grove of the trees, that
he rushed opemmoathed at every one
who approached Jinn, and had to be
shot in the scrub.
Dogs when stung will rush around,
whining piteon dy, biting pieces from
the affected part.
The small stinging iiees, a few inch
es high, are as dangerous as any, being
-hard to see, and beiioutly imperiling
one’s ankles. The scrub is nsnally
found growing among palm trees.
