TO DO AWAY WITH SHOCKS

Improved Rail Joint Which Is Expected to Make Travel on the Line Smoother. The primary purpose here is to provide a joint that will bring about a practically continuous rail which will relieve the rolling stock from all shocks, jolts and jars in passing there-

over and which will operate with equal facility in connection with either the standard car wheel now in use or a specially constructed car wheel which the inventor prefers in time to introduce. The dotted lines in the drawing show the special type of wheel and how it is supported_at the joint.—Scientific American.
