years ago, while it was drawing pas
senger train on dark night through
the heavy tropical forest, sudden
shock was felt, and the train came to a
standstill. The engine and tender were
thrown off the, metals. and half way
down the .embaukment, though, for
tunately, they did not drag the car
riages after them. When the driver,
who had been pitched off, went back to
ascertain the cause of the accident, he
saw large bull elephant at the bottom
of the embankment on the other side
of the line. It died a few minutes after
the collision from the violent shock and
loss of blood, it's off fore leg having been
shattered and a piece of the trunk torn
off. Beyond the fright and shock
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.
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 of the locomotive su-
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
q 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 as memorial of the oc-
currence. These instances of train
being thrown off the line through col
lision with an 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
