' ' WOOD PRESERVATION Take Steps to Preserve Dimin ' ishing Timber Supply RAILROADS; ARE INTERESTED More Than 100,000,000 Cross Ties Are Used Annually by the Different Railroads, Their Average Life is From 15 to 20 Years. The recent action by the board of directors of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association in appointing a committee of seventeen to investigate and report upon the subject of wood preservation has shown that the prac tical railroad men of the country recognize the importance of taking steps to conserve the rapidly dimin ishing timber supply ot the united States. Timber is one of the principal ma terials purchased by the railroads and its economical use is a subject nf far reaching importance. More than 100,000,000 cross ties are used annually by the different railroad companies, and their average life in this country is not more than six or seven years. From a study of Euro , pean methods,, and the knowledge of wood preservation under conditions 'in this country, timber testing engin eers say it is reasonably certain that an average life of from 15 to 20 years may be secured by treating the tie with a good preservation and the use of improved devices for the pre Tention of mechanical abrasion, thus to a large degree diminishing the drain upon the timber supply. While the quantity of timber used for ties is very great and the prob lem of a future supply is a serious one, yet this class of timber is not the only one which should receive consideration. A greater length of service trom timber now used by railroads for bridges, trestles, piles, fences and transmission poles is greatly to be desired. A. L- Kuehn, Engineer of track and roadway, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway, is ' chairman of this special wood pres ervation committee and C. G. Craw - ford, specialist in wood preservation, J United States Forest Service, is its j vice chairman. The first meeting was j held in Chicago in the early part of i last month for the purpose of organ izing and deciding upon a plan of work. The committee was divided into four subconunittes to take up the following lines of work: . , Statistics and Economics, O. Cliaunte, Consulting Engineer, Chic ago, Illinois, Chairman.

This American Railway Engineer ing and Maintenance of Way As sociation now consists of about 900 members representing 200,000 miles of railroad track and including among its membership the leading railroad engneers of the country. The object of the association is the advancement (CC(jons of knowledge pertaining to the scien tific and economical construction, operation and maintenance of rail roads. The method employed' to ob tain this information is through standing committees appointed by a board of directors.

A commission was appoint ed by the board of health of the city of New York to' study the disease with ar view of discovering preventive and curative remedies. The special effort of this commission under Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller In stitute for Medical Research, was to secure some anti-diplococcus serum for injection into human victims of the disease. Experimental infections - i . . .... ucreoro-spinai meningitis is an in flammatory disease of the cerebral membranes and spina! cord. It oc curs most generally m winter aw: spring.. It is epidemic, bat not direct ly contagious from man to man. It appears oftcnest in. subjects of low vitality and among the scantily nour ished dwellers of tenements and slums. It may prove fatal in its ful minant form within a few hours and is therefore a dreaded scourge. 'The proportion of recoveries by the old methods of treatment was about twenty per cent. In the several cities where the cases under the new treatment were made the results in dicate that in forty-seven cases thirty- I four recovered 'and thirteen died. I Four of the latter were of the fulmin I ant type and therefore past control Eliminating these from the calcula ' tion, this changes the percentage of recoveries to 79.9 and of deaths to 20.1 just reversing the former fig ures.
