gleaming network of rails which covers the country and has contributed Incalculably to the development of modem civilization la subject to a number of ills, and the most insidious of these is the transverse fissure. This fault, which has been called "roll cancer" and can seldom bo detected until the damage Is done, was first identified nearly 17 years ago after a wreck on the Valley railroad at Manchester, N. in which a number of lives were lost. Since then it has been recognized as the cause of a number of derallmenta. "The transverse fissure," says W.

P. Borland, director of the Bureau of Safety of the Interstate Commerce Commission, "is a very prominent cause of wrecks, and they are generally bad wreoka. Ths physical reasons for their display seem explainable." It Is essentially a 'Yatlgrue fracture of interior origin," he explains, but is unlike the ordinary tations of rail fatigue In that It gives no warning of Its growth by means of cracks or other visible evidence until it has actually reached the outer surface. The nearest approach to development of a device for detecting Its presence before the affected rail cracks up under a train has been made by Elmer A. Sperry, tho New York inventor, Mr.

Borland says, but It haa not yet proved satisfactory under service conditions although it has proved effective In laboratory tests. Dr. James E.
