The whole trouble may bestopped by putting a piece of rosin aboutthe size of a hickory nut into the ladleand allowing it to melt before DETAILS OF DEVICE FOR APPLYING BANDS TO HOSE. 10 RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. January, 1915. The Mechanical Side of Railroading. The Railroad Mens Improvement So-ciety of New York is composed mostlyof young railroad nun ambitious for self-improvement. They meet weekly duringthe winter months, have papers read onrailroad subjects and discuss them. Ata recent meeting an address on TheMechanical Side of Railroading was givenli\ Mr. William Schlafge, general mechan-ical superintendent of the Erie Railroad,and proved peculiarly interesting to allclasses of railroad men. The preliminary portion of the paperreads: Mout (iiv hundred years ago the prog-ress of the world in all limes of effortbrought about a condition where com-merce, particularly inland commerce, hadoutgrown the known and tried means oftransportation to such an extent that anarrest of development was imminent, un-less
