There is an interesting case before the
Supreme court of Arkansas 1t is an
appeal in a case where the plaintiff re-
covered damages from a railroad COM
pany for killing a SOW which lay asleep
under a car on a siding into which
locomotive had backed In the brief
filed by the attorney for the railroad
these questions were introduced: Cd
Must a railroad company before start
ing it's train send its servants to look
carefully under all cars to ascertain
whether sow is taking her luxurious
siesta beneath their tempting shade?
(2) Is it negligence per Sc for railroad
train to cast shadow and thereby
tempt a SOW to seek repose at a time
when the company knows that the fierv
rays of days luminary will make her
think of sweet slumber under the i'm
penetrable shelter of an opaque body?
(3) If railroad company let's a sow
eat so much of it's cottonseed that she is
overcome by somnolence, is it the com-
pany's duty to guide her to a spot where
her slumber may be safe and undlsturb-
ed ?"

Carrying molten iron by rail is daily
stroke of economy to be witnessed at
Duquesne, Pennsylvania. The molten
iron as it is tapped from the furnaces
runs into an immense mixing ladle,
having capacity of $50 tons, and from
this it is poured into the twenty-ton la
die cars the ladies' being made Of sheet
steel or iron, with lining of refrac-
tory material. The cars are then haul
ed by locomotive to the steel works,
where the direct conversion of the mott
en- iron into open-hearth steel is made,
avoiding all the expense of casting the
metal into pigs and cooling, handling,
reloading, relocating and remelting the
pig metal 1t is stated that between
seven hundred and eight hundred tons
of iron will be transported daily from
the Duquesne furnaces in this manner.
