An interesting feature ofthe line is the rifled construction of thepipe. The rifling consists of indenta-tions made in the interior of the pipe,.nd following each other in a spiralline. A series of experiments in theconveyance of oil demonstrated thefact that after a small percentage ofwater had been added to the oil, andthe necessary pressure applied, thatthe whole will develop a whirling mo-tion, due to the spiral incline or screwthread form of the series of indenta-tions, and that the water being the. 1-IG. 2.

The work of double tracking the Pitts-burgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. LouisRailroad between Columbus and Brad-ford Junction is nearing completion, andwhen, the entire stretch of eighty-threemiles is ready, which will probably bethis year, both freight and passengerservice between Chicago, St. Louis andthe East will be greatly improved.

Thisshell or film of water acts as a lubri-cant between oil and pipe, and reducesthe friction and allows the core of oilto glide easily through the pipe. Along the 256 miles of pipe therewill be twenty-three pumping stations,the equipment of each station beingin duplicate, so th
