ADAMS'S SUSPENDED GIRDER RAIL. Some interesting experiments were marle ou Monday, on a new system of permanent way invented by Mr W. B. Adams It was laid down under Ihe direction Of Mr. Joseph Cubitt, C.E., on part of the up-line of the Great Northern Railway, over which the heavy coal traffic passes to the goods station, Maiden lane. The new system of permanent way by Mr. Adams, consists of a rail simi!ar to the ordinary rail but two inches deeper-that is seven inches instead of five inches in depth. There is a flange at the top and bottom ot the rail. On each side of the rail are fitted angle brackets. One side of the bracket fills up the 5pace between the flanges, and is secured to the rails by bolts. The other side of the bracket extends outwards from the rail, forming a kind of lomiitndinal shelf at each side of the rail level with the ballast and immediately under the upper flange of the r il; so that when blasted all • that is seen of the rail is the upper fl -inge, which rises about '2.$inches above the upper side of the bracket or longitudinal shelf These project about 61 inches on each side of the rail, and form with the rail a lon- gitudinal and horizontal hearing of 13 inches in width The ballast is packed from the surface at each side of the rail, under the brackets, and thus secure the perma- nent way. There are no wooden sleepers used, the guage of the ra Is being preserved by iron ties about nine feet apart. The whole is const, ucted of wrought iron, and consists of four parts viz he rails, brackets, the bolts and tie-bars. Each joint is protected by two whole pieces at each side of it, forming in the whole, when put together, t compact mass The rails were made at the Ehbw Vale Works, and are 18 feet in length. The various parts are contrived that no mistake can oc,cur in putting them together, andthey can also be laid down with great facility. By this plan of rail, the bi aring surface is brought within about iy inches of the tread of the wheels, and the consequence is that 4jie rail is prevented from rocking, the lower part of the rail forming a kind of keel; and the brackets constitute bearers on each side, which impart a steadiness to the rail and a smoothness in passing over it. The packing being close to the surface, the greatest regularity can be preserved in packing the ballast under the beareis, so as to give a uniformity to the bearing of the rails. but obtainable by any other method in use. On the ordinary system the packing under the sleeper is 12 inches below the top of the rail. while on Mr. Adams's plan it is not more than about three inches. The rails and bearers form one continuous piece from end to end of the line. The portion of the Great Northern line upon which the new way is laid has a gradient of 1 in 110, and coal trains of 30) tons and the heaviest engines pass over it about GO times a day. It has been laid down about a month, and appeared in excellent condition. On the suggestion of Colonel Kennedy, of the Bombay and Baroda Railway, the ballast for about six feet in length, at two or three places, was removed from under the rail and bearers, and an engine of 35 tons weight oassed overt iseveral times, causing each time a slight deflection of about one eigth offon in inch, and was con- sidered by the other engineering gentlemen present namely, Messrs. J Cubitt, B. Burleigh, forde, C. H. Gregory, Pole, D.K. Clarke, and J. Robinson, a very satisfactory test of the strength of the giider-rail. It was also observed that anything out of order in that kind of permanent way could be readily detected as it would be visible. The weight of the rail is about 84ib. per yard, and of the brackets 84Ib., making together 16 !lb. per yard. It was stated that the cost of the per- manent way on the plan would be about £ 300 per mile more than the ordinary line of heavy rails and the cost of renewal would average less than one half Some of the men said they could pack up lOiI yards of line on the new plan in less time than they could open "JO yards of the ground prior to packing the slenpers of the ordi- nary rails, and therefore it was presumed that a consider- able saving in the labour of maintenance of way would be effected by the adoption of the new plan. It is under- stood that it will be adopted on the Bombay. Baroda. and Central India Railway, being considered suitable in many respects for that country. A new method by Mr. Adams of fastening the ordinary rails to the sleepers was also tested. It c nsisted of bracket or knee fastenings bolted to tin rails and sleepers which permit of the rails bearing directly on the sleepers instead of b-ing elevated above them by the chairs ordi-. dinarily used, and thus preventing the under side of the rails being hammered against the chair, nhicl. produced noisa to the passengers and injury to the rails and rolling stock.

GARDEN OPERATIONS, &c. (From the Gardener's Chronicle.) FORCING DEPARTMENT. PINERIES.—Where the bottom heat is wholly de pendant upon tan or other fermenting material, it is very apt to decline too much st this season, when the tempera- ture of the atmosphere is being kept low. And if this is found to be the case a few inches of fresh tan should be put on the surface, which will be generally found sufficien', but if the beds have not been renewed lately, and have -got wotn out, it will probably be necessary to remove the plants and add a-eonsiderable quantity of tan or leaves. Where shed room can be spared, a quantity of tan should always be kept in readiness lor such work in winter, as if used fresh frjm the tan-yard, it is almost certain to starve the roots before fermentation commences, and then heats too violently. I.et no trouble be spared, however, which circumstance may render necessary to secure a steady bottom heat so as to preserve the roots in health for if the roots get injured it will be in vain to expect'the plants to make vigorous growth in spring. Be especially careful of those expected to start into fruit soon for if the roots of these are injured now there wiil be little chance of getting the fruit to swell well. VIMEKIES—Use fire-heat sparingly in houses where the fruit is ripe, but sufficient must be used to prevent the moisture of the atmosphere being frozen to tile glass inside the house, for if this is allowed to happen, the moisture on thawing is liable to drop upon the bunches, injuring the bloom and causing the b rries to decay. Admit air on every favourable opportunity, and examine the bunches often and carefully, so as to make sure of removing decayed erries I he moment it can be perceived that they are affected. When forcing is fairly com- menced, be careful to maintain a properly moist state of the atmosphere, and t hs must be especially attended to while severe weather lasts, particularly where the buds •are bursting. The evaporating troughs must be kept constantly supplied with water, and the paths, beds, &c., should be frequently syringed, and it will also be advisa- ble not to have the tender foliage too near the glass until the weather changes. If fermenting material is used for warming the border, this must be well covered with dry litter to protect it from the frost, and turnrd occasionally, a Idinf some fresh as may be necessity to keep the heat I at in the°border regular. It will be advisable, however, to have some dung and leaves thrown up to heat, as there would be some danger of chilling the bed by turning it in the present state of the weather, and mixing it with dung or leaves which had not commenced fermenting. Houses i ■which it is intended to commence forcing the beginning of next monrh, should also have some fermenting material placed on the borders so as to encourage the roots a little before the vines are excited, which will be of great service towards getting the buds to push strongly and without loss of time. HARDY FUUIT AND KITCHEN GARDEN. rwwri trees of largJ size are much neglected about places as to pruning, the heads being allowed to get so Sick of wood that the fruit cannot be expected save from tnicK oi w""u outside shoots, and except when the the points of ginned to something considerably crop gets accidentally fruU js sinall ^nd indifferent 'frilly" DO' frosty' °PP»" '4' & beVe™ Z&t&StSS** 'I' »> |aken of the first snare time to eive these a carefm pruning. I he heads should be liberally thinned cutting out all branches which cross 'he others and dead pieces, and leuv.ng the shoots sufficiently far apart that light and Mr may h we free play among those left when.the foliage is on. In removing large branches, care should be used to make close dean cuts, and if the wood is coated with strong t uck paint this will helD to prevent its decaying befoie the wound gets healed over. Get all kinds of fruit bushes pruned, t1 p nruni-i-s cleaned off, and the ground manured ready t, e pruni.i„s t done. Also take advantage of for digging when this can uonc » leisure fi ne to thoroughly exarnine the u.t stores, and remove any that are found to be decaying. Of course the frost must be excluded from liero, but oil no account use fire heat, unless the temperature>cannot other, ise be kept above freezing.
