Thisgradual incline permits it to be placedunderneath the wheels at the thin end, soas to clear brake hangers, sand pipes, provides a perfect track for thewheels to run to the rails. There is nobeveled surface and no side pressure topush the frogs out of place and they donot require to be spiked to ties or clampedto rails. The wheels in mounting bear onthe tread instead of the flange, thus obvi-ating any danger of the flanges can be placed at any angle to therail and can be used for mounting w ithleads of rails when the trucks are clearoff the ties. They are made of basicsteel, weigh 215 pounds to the pair, and. SNOW CAR REPLACER. will bear the weight of the heaviest loco-motive. The female frog is placed be-tween the rails and the tongue set to guidethe wheels which are off inside of rails tothe nearest rail. The male frog is setwith the thin end close in to tread ofwheel, allowing the flange of the wheelto project down the side of the frog.

Waste Packing, as the subject of aclub paper, does not appear to be very fer-tile of fact?, yet Mr. T. H. Symingtonmade a good talk about it to the WesternRailway Club. He collected twenty-ninesamples of woolen waste and seventeensamples of cotton waste and tested themto find out their absorption, expansion andcapillary qualities. The different sampleswere absorbed in Galena oil at a uniformtemperature for the absorption test, anda ma
