POCKET 61 be estimated, for want of data, but when the long Tarthar escape and the heavy digging from there to the Habbanialake are considered the second certainly seems the cheaper. Being at the head of the delta, the works which may havealready been carried out will not be interfered with. The supply to themwill only be brought under complete control, to their decided advantage. Economies also may be effected, sincefloodswill have been eliminated. By the second scheme a large area proposed to be irrigated by the Beled system may be lost, but some of this will be reclaimed by silting and the advantages of protection and storage for the rest of the delta will far outweigh any loss of area...

" The Effect of Conical Wheels and Gauge-Widening on the Motion of Railway Vehicles around Curves, " By RONALD BRIDGMAN, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E. (Ordered by the Council to be published in abstract form.)? THEwear on the outer rail of railway curves has four distinctive features : (a) outer rail only is affected ; (b) severity of wear varies inversely with the radius of curvature ; (c) i t is largely independent of speed of trains a11d super-elevation of track; ( d ) gauge-widening lcssens the wear to only a very limited extent...

- WIDENING ON THE MOTION OF RAILWAY VEHICLES AROUND CURVES. 73 If the theory developed above is correct, that a vehiclewillfollow naturally a curve of radius producing minimum slip, as calculated by the equations mentioned above, and spring hanger play is found to be not, or only partially, effective, there appears to be little advantage in conical wheels andtheir replacement by cylindrical wheelswould appreciably reduce bogie-hunting. The Papers of Dr. Davies and Mr. Newberry appear to supportthese conclusions. The Author wishes to acknowledge the kind permission of the General Manager of the Nigerian Railway to submit this Paper, and toexpress his thanks to Dr...
