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

NEW CURE FOR MENINGITIS
The alarming epidemic of cerebro
spinal meningitis of 1904-1907 was
prolific of one good result it proved
that the bacillus, Diplococcus intra-
cellularia, discovered by Weichsel
baum in 1887, was the source of the
disease. 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
