STEEL TIES FIR BRITISH RAILWAYS Increased Cost of Timber Since War Makes It Necessary ' London--There are 52.000 miles of railway track on the railway system of Great Britain, the upkeep of which costs over £12,000,000 per an- num, says Modern Transport, Prior to the war it was generally agreed that for British railway equirements sleepers cut from Baltic redwood fir, which was easily obtainable at a rea- sonable price, were the most satis- factory. Since the war the cost of timber has increased, and, according to an official statement, close attention has been given by railway engineers to the question of adopting slecpers made from materials which can be produced in this country. As some 4,000,000 are used annually, sleepers of British steel would materially assist the iron and steel industry, which has been severely depressed in recent years. In addition to steel sleepers, rein- forced concrete slabs held together by transverse steel ties have been tried. Up to the present tht best al- . ternative to the wooden sleeper scem to be one made of steel of approxi- mately the same length and breautm .as the timber sleeper, but hollow and like an inverted trough in form. The steel sleeper has certain disadvane tages which have yet to be over- come. It acts as a conductor, for example, and cannot be made use of where track circuiting is installed. It is li- able to corrosion in certain industrial areas and when laid on slag ballast, and noise and vibration are said to be increased by its use. The steel pro- per has always been considered more costly than the wooden sleeper, but new designs have been produced which bring the price to nearly the same level. Consequently, the railway compan- jes are experimenting cxtensively with the use of steel sleepers, and ex- perience will be obtained as to their wear and life under various condi- tions, particularly having regard to 1i the disadvantages above mentioned. Crazy? During an inspection of an asylum the 'trustees came upon a party of workmen who were re- pairing a wall, One of the harmless patients, apparently assisting in the work, was pushing a wheelbar- row along upside down. "My friend," said a kind hearted trustee, gently, "you should turn your = wheelbarrow over. "Not on -your life," replied the patient. "I turned it over yester- day, and they put bricks In it."'-- American Boy, The first of the invading squad of sea flea drivers to land in To- ronto for the C.N.E. races, which started 'Saturday night and which will proceed with a race each night and windup with a two-day inter- national regatta, September 4-3 off the C.N.E. grounds, was George W.' Martin of South Bend, Ind, with his pal, C. E. Kindig, and two hoats, K32 and K40. Martin and K32 set up a new world's rec- ord of 41.048 miles an hour at Marietta, O., last weck and he pro- ceeded to show that his claim was not all bunk by taking the first race he started in here. That was a mile dash for class B. The lay- out shows Jimmy Rogers of the N.Y.C., Toronto, who with his boat, Magnus' Meteor, gave Martin and K32 a real battle in that race. Rogers is one of the best of the local crop of young drivers. He is only 18 years old, No. 2 shows George W. Martin, and No. 3 Mar. tin and his little ten-foot flyer.

This initial groundwork, according to Principal O'Neill, 18 very valuable, and will be carried on until such time as all the equip- ment is ready for use. Some Held Over Principal O'Neill also stated that the classes in steam-fitting, plumo- ing and electrical work will not be put into operation this year, but will be held over until the wnumw of the new buildings are ready for occupation. He feels, however, that splendid progress has been made in having the east addition ready for the classes which it is proposed to organize. Some New Teachers The members of the staff, it is expected, will be arriving in the city ahout the middle of next week, and much interest is being taken in the fact that there are several new teachers coming to take over positions. ~ Classes have now been called for 8.45 a.m. on Monday, September 9, and Principal O'Neill makes a special plea for every student to be on hand at that hour and date so that there will he no delay 'in organizing the school for its term's work, since the postpone- ment of a week cuts to some ex- tent into the schedule of classes.

The use of modern machinery would probably result in cleaning out the banks within a very short time, with con- sequently large profits to a few, but would wipe out the entire div- ing community. It is estimated that approximate- ly 100,000 Arabs work as peur: fishers or assistants on the banks in the gulf. every town and village sends out its quota of men. The island of Bahrein is the principal centre of the industry, although the fowns of Quwait in the north, Dubai and Muscat in the south, and Lingah on the Persian side of the gulf are also important centres. No fishing is permitted in the winter months, when the waters are very cold; but throughout the large sails and long, heavy oars go out daily. The diver makes use of a heavy stone with a rope tied around it to hasten his descent to the bottom of the sea. As goon as he steps off on the bottom, the rock is pulled up to be ready for the next descent. Meanwhile the diver walks along the bottom, picking up oyster shell sand putting them in a bas- ket which hangs from his neck. After he has been under water for about two minutes he is pulled to the surface by a rope looped about his waist. As a rule, his only oth- er aid is a device looping somewhat like a clothespin, which is used to keep his nose closed. After a rest, the diver goes down again for an- other two-minute interval, and so the work continues throughout the day.
