caused by the sudden stopping of the
train, which, luckily, was travelling, at
only Is miles an hour, no injury result
ed to any of the passengers. In the
same month of the same year similar
accident occurred on the Bengal-Nag-
pur railway in India fHxEsE
On a pitch dark night mail train
was running at the rate of - miles an
hour through very thick jungle which
was known to hold wild elephants. The
driver felt an obstruction and at
tempted to reverse, but the engine left
the metals, dragging with it brake
van, the carriage ofsthe locomotive SUI
perintendent and some other carriages,
but without causing injury to any of
the passengers or officials. At first it
was thought that the accident had
been brought about by cattle straying
on the line, but the officials soon found
a dead elephant. Apparently the ami
NAL had been, crossing the line Just as
the train came up, and had been struck
by the engine and hurled down the
bank. The agent of the company sent
home one of the tusks to be put up in
the board room az a memorial of the oc-
currence. These instances of train
being thrown on the line through col
lisions with IN elephant show that,
while such accidents are pretty sure to
be bad for the elephant" they are also
attended with considerable danger to
rolling stock, and even to human life.
The latter consideration completes the
analogy we have already drawn.-Lon-
