outlining the procem used, Mir. MacKie remarked that\the sudden breaking of rails was a serious men ace to safety in railroad operations. in a large proportion of cases, the fractured cross sections showed that the raihoad intreior had been ruipt aired for a longtime before the break. This type of rail failure- aransverse fissure-had been lstelld- lly increasing, and was. the most dangerous type of rail defect.

A number of gttempts have been made to pro- "tect the hot rails more or less while cooling on the mill hot beds, but thme attempts did not pre- vent thc cracks because the pro- tection was i ‘equate and was ap plied only while the rails were at too high a temperature.

Walls ‘ Being Rebuilt

SYDHEI, N. 8-. Aug ZZ-The sturdy foundations of Iouisburl. once called the Dunkirk of America upon which Iouis XIV expended more than $120,000,010. to make 1t a great French stronghold in North lAmerica, are slowly emerging again from the grassy grounds that have hidden them for the past century-

Agitation resulted three years ago In a decision t0 partially restore the fortress which is annually the mecca for hundreds of Americans, as troops from New England once captured the fort in 1145 and as- sisted in its second in i158- The past few years has witnessed a programm a of excavation and restoration work being carried on under the auspices of the Cana- dian Battlefields Commission, with the result the whole site has taken on many of the original forms.

Several of the old streets of the fortified town have been re-located by the surveyors from the shafts ditained from Paris and Ottawa. Rue D‘Orlean.a has been surfaced lrom raus st. Luis to the east sate. and bridge thrown over the moat at the latter point so the old French and English military cemeteries can be easily reached.

The roof of the bombiproof case- mates at the southern end of the Kins‘: bastion has been skilfully re haired with concrete, preserving per ‘Wily the old French masonry ef- fects. The gateway between the shave! and barracks has also been 59911911 Already three himdred val- Wble relics have been unearthed Ind are being housed in a tempor- lry museum until a permanent fire proof one is availableq

At the citadel the southern wall 01 the barracks, the Kim's chapel, and the governor's house and office have been exposed. In excavating the latter every care has been tak- e" to protect the tomb of Due mini/file. who died at Halifax dur-

It is recognized that it would be

undesirable, even if possible, to restore the full fortifications. What is proposed is to restore a. little at s, time of the principal gates, bast- ions. and other works sufficient to show the strength and extent of the place at its greatest period in history.

Ottawa has complete copies of the original plans and specifications made by Vallban. the celebrated military engineer back in the sev- enteenth century. These ars accur- ate in every detail, somuchsothat modem engineers can locate exactly by instrument the site of any de- sired gate or wall.

When the excavations are com- plete, the showplace of the fortress will be the huge hospital. It may seen-i curious to modern people to know that in Ilouisburg nearly two centuries ago there existed a hos- pital of one hundred andlfour beds, besides private wards, with hot and cold running water on every floor, and many other conveniences which are usually thmqht in be of quite recent invention.

New Texas Oil Field Largest Pool In U. S.

Immense Size and Production "fill Not Realized by Industry

.____.

_ DALLAS, Tex. Aug. 2i, (UR)- The new East Texas oil field is so vast that six of the largest pools in the United States could be super- imposed upon it. _.

A study of the geology and econ- omic importance of the field reveals that its immense size, the consis- tent results of drilling, and its ef- fect upon the industry have not yet been realized by the most exper- ienced and fa-r sighted oil meni‘

A map of the field shows that the Lathrop pool ls so large that the Hobbs pool of New Mexico, hereto- fore considered cf immense pro- portions, could be tucked into it. with plenty of room left over for the Oklahoma City and Seminole pools.

by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, ‘after calling attention to the definite turn for the better which is new apparent in the egg market throughout the Dominion, makes the following observation with respect to the present situ- ation:

"Since early in the spring this publication has consistently point- ed out the probabilities of the situation which appear now to be developing. A reduction in flocks, such as has taken place in many sections, was advised against. Dur- ing recent weeks there has been an active demand for pullets, indicat- ing that many producers are renew- ing faith in the egg market and are anxious to cplarge their flocks over the proportions planned for earlier in the spring."

New- man, Dominion Cereailst, gave the following advice regarding thresh- ing: " e method of threshing the ex- hibition grain is a matter of import- ance A very good plan is to flail the iheavea by hand on a canvas, spread out on the ground near the stocks or stack. on a !""",ht sunny day. Only a very few iitrokes of the flail should be given each sheaf as the large, well developed kernels will roll out first. The kernels re- maining in the sheaf may be thresh- ed out in the ordinary way."
