An order has just been placed by the Bessemer & Lake ErieRailroad with the Carnegie Steel Company for ten miles ofthese ties, the order amounting to about 2,100 tons. This orderfollows a test of a half mile of the Carnegie steel tie for the past. Fig. 2. The Carnegie Steel Cross-Tie as applied at a joint six months.

The Electro-Metallurgy of Iron Alloys. — Although muchhas been said about the practicability of using the electricfurnace for the smelting of iron and the refining of steel, ithas been realized that the element of cost must, at thepresent time, prevent such methods from entering into generalcompetition with the older processes. At the same time thereis a field in which the electric furnace can be employed where lyo The Iron and Steel Magazine the question of the cost of the product is secondary to itsquality, and for such work the electric furnace possesses numer-ous advantages. In recent issues of Stahl und Eisen thereis given an account by Herr V. Englehardt, of the progress whichhas been made in the practical operation of the Kjellin processfor producing high-grade alloy steel
