Dom Pedro, the last emperor of Bra
I'll, was a man OF practical turn OF
mind, as the following story told by a
Spanish newspaper well illustrates;
lie once gave an audience TO young
engineer who came to show him new
appliance for stopping railway engines
The emperor was pleased with the idea,
but wished TO put II to a practical test
Day after tomorrow" said he,
have your engine ready. We viii have
II coupled 10 my saloon-car and start.
When going at full speed will give the
signal TO stop, and then we shall see
how your invention works"
At the appointed time all was in ren-
diness, The emperor entered the car
riage, the young man mounted his en-
CINE, and on they sped for several miles
as fast as they could go, There came
no signal. and the engineer began to
fear that the emperor had fallen asleep.
Suddenly the engine came to sharp
curve around the edge OF Il cliff, when,
to his horror. on the track directly
ahead of them the engineer saw huge
boulder.
He had sufficient presence OF mind TO
turn the crank OF his brake and pull the
engine up within couple of yards of
the fatal block.
Here the emperor put his head out of
his car window and demanded to know
the cause of the sudden stoppage. The
engineer pointed to the rock, and much
to his surprise Dom Pedro began to
laugh.
push 1t one one side and go on" he
said. calmly.
The engineer obeyed, and kicking the
stone was still further astonished to see
1t crumble into dust before him.
1t was nothing more nor less than
block OF starch which the emperor had
had made and placed on the rails the
night before Harper's Round Table.
