A song will sometimes be sung by a

suddeuly It will become all the rage,

thousands of people all over thecouotry

NEW KIND OF RAILROAD TIES.
Booth American Mora Timber to Be
Tried by Pennsylvania Uoud.
The Pennsylvania Ballroad Is soon to
begin an experiment with a new kind
of wood for ties. Orders have been
placed aud several consignments of tbe
material are now on the way from
South America, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. As soon as the vessels ui rive
preparations will be made for placing
the ties at points along tbe main line
snd i and around Philadelphia. Tbe
ties sre of Mora wood, and come from
British Guiana. , It ts claimed for them
that tbey will last fifty years, tbe tim
ber being exceedingly hard aud pos
sessing the quality of durability. The
present ties last from three to ten
years. The purchasing price alone for
each tie of the Mora wood is $1, aud
the delivery price about $1.50. The coat
of the white oak ties, which the road
has been using, is about 73 cents each.
There have been many experiments
made during the last twenty -five years
to procure some material for ties that
will stand tbe severe tests from heavy
and fast t rattle, but thus far no suc
cessful results have been attained.
Many patent preservative processes
have been resorted to, such as cneml-
cals to preserve the wood, cement en
cased In steel and steel plates bent
into oval or semi-naif moon shape. Just
now the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Hallway Is experimenting on
its main line, near Sandusky, Ohio,
with a design of steel ties constructed
from old worn out sixty-flve-pound
steel rails.
About $00,000,000 Is now spent annu
ally by the railroads of the country for
renewing worn-out ties, It being esti
mated that 112,000,000 new ties are
needed each year. Tbe total number of
ties now In nse on the railroads of tbe
country Is calculated at 780,000,000.
Tbls demand Is so great and the here-
tofore sources of supply are so nearly
exhausted, says tbe Black Diamond,
that tbe International Society of Arbo
riculture bas undertaken to encourage
the growing of catalpa trees, with spe
cial reference to tbe need of crosstles
for American railways. White oak,
canerack, white cedar, chestnut, pine
and redwood, which bave up to -tbls
time been used for ties, are becoming !
too costly. If not too scarce, to supply
the demand from tbls source. Tbe so
ciety suggests that the catalpa be
planted along the right of way of Tall
road lines, not only ss s future source
of supply, but as a means of adding to
the pleasure snd comfort of trsvelers.

Th Popular Whit Skirt.
While the black separate skirt is
quite out of date, the white separate
skirt is just the thing worn with waists
of the faded pinks and bines, white and
biscuit colors now in vogue. The point
to be observed is the blending of the
one into the other. . In this way it is
poHsible to bave a variety of evening
effects with but slight expense. Such
a costume can be worn on all dress oc
casions where a very elaborate toilet is
not necessary.
