Many thousands of dollars have been spent in experimenting with steel, concrete ami other substances, but with little success, says the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse.

The elasticity of wood makes it superior to all other substitutes thus far tried. This peculiar quality gives the wooden tie long life in that it partially absorbs the shock of heayy traffic where other . materials fail under Continuous use. A tie treated with creosote will last ■ twice as long as a tie without such, trewtofient. The' preservative 1 prevents decay, keeps moisture ont and renders' the wood free from fungus and insect attack.
