Elephant on the Track.

An extraordinary railroad accident
occurred recently in Siam, on the
Royal State railway between Ban
Phaji and Bangkok. Late one evening
while rounding slight curve, a heavy
goods train, drawn by two engines,
dashed into a large wild elephant
which had strayed onto the track The
force of the impact was terrific, and
both the engines were overthrown,
the leading one plunging over the en-
bankment and the second capsizing
and falling across the line. Two men
were killed and several injured, the
brakeman was smashed into a shape
less mass, and 13 trucks were derailed
and six telescoped. The elephant was
killed and it's body hurled 60 feet
from the track. This is the second ac-
cident Of the kind that has occurred
this year in Siam, an elephant having
been killed last February near Lap

He told tn eclerk Mr. Zach wanted
the same prescription reflled, as the
first order was not. enough. This was
unhesitatingly done, and Ferenczy de-
parted, overjoyed at his success. 1t
was the preparation Of the ingredi-
ents, however, that was most difficult.
But diplomacy again prevailed. Fer
enczy induced Zach's housekeeper, by
the payment of twenty marks, to
hide him in a nearby closet.
This accomplished, the young. man
left his employers shop with his
knowledge and by himself worked

cessful in the manufacture of the var
nish. Then he returned to his old
employer and showed him the results.
Zach's rage was unbounded at first.
But after Ferenczy told him every.
thing he was impelled to admire the
younger mans resourcefulness, and
the conversation concluded by the lat
ter's swearing he would never give
away the secret
And now this valuable secret, which
mas meant so much to two famous
violinmakers, is known only to this
pretty girl. She, however, fully ap-
preciates the heritage that has come
to her, for she loves her art and her
violins better than anything else.
1t is the great sorrow of the girls
heart that she has not one of her
fathers violins to show for his life's
labors. Some of his instruments sold
for as high as $1,000, an unusual price
for a new instrument. In vain has she
tried to buy them back from their
owners, but where one is willing to-
sell such purchase an utter impossi-
bility. In her secret heart, however,

young girl knows how to do?" she was
asked.
mo, not strange, for of my life it
has been the dream" she answered
in her charming broken English,
which adds piquancy toaher personal
ity.
Then she told her visitor that from
her childhood days she had cared
more for violins than for anything
else. AS small child she never
played with dolls or enjoyed other
childish amusements, but at The
Hague, where much Of her early life
was passed and where her parents
obliged her to attend school, the mo-
ment her lessons were over back she
flew to the shop, quite content to put
ter around her fathers work bench
and watch him at his work. SO
The violinmaker paid little atten-
tion to the child. He did notice that
she sawed and glued and chiseled,
just as he was doing, but supposed
she was constructing some plaything
for herself. What was his astonish-
ment one day when she electrified
him by holding up a violin in minia-
ture, perfect in every detail, her own
work.
1t is needless to say that the artist
fathers delight knew no bounds.
Even his most advanced pupil could
could produce nothing like it. Soon
after this Ferenczy removed to his old
home at Budapest, Hungary, where
he opened a large workshop. He
taught large class of young men his
art, but not one among the number
ranked in talent with his little ten
year-old flaxen-haired daughter

she progressed still further. From re-

PLAN SCHOOL FOR TRAlNMEN.
Brotherhood Of Firemen and Engine
men to Add New Feature. D..

. The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen is soon to es-
tabl1sh correspondence school for
the benefit Of its members, but which
may also be participated in by other
railroad men who are interested in OBJ
tanning an education along the higher
lines Of their work. It is expected
that this correspondence school will
be a separate department under the
supervision Of John F. McNamee,
editor and manager Of the Locomotive
Firemen's and Enginemen's Magazine,
with headquarters in Indianapolis.
Successful work has been accom-
plished by the magazine along educa-
tonal lines involving air brakes, sig
nails and other matters connected with
the work of the members of the broth
erhood, and at the last convention it
was decided that the new feature
should be entered into.
It is the intention to compile text
books from matter that has appeared
in the official magazine for some years
past and fill in where necessary with
new matter. These books, of course,
will be suitably illustrated. The
course at first will be in locomotive
engineering, running and repairs,
breakdowns and various other matters
connected with the work Of the mem
bers of the organization, including
such things as train rules, air brakes,
etc. Later, it is expected, designing
and the higher class of mechanical
construction will be taken up, along
with such course in mathematics as
may be necessary to equip any mem
Der for the higher courses of study.
The fee for the courses will be only
enough to cover the actual cost of con-
Quoting the work. It is said that not
only have the members of the brother
hood expressed themselves as much
pleased with the proposed correspond
ence course, which will probably be
put into effect about the first of the
year, but railroad officials have also
expressed themselves as much pleased
with the matter.

Fatally Injured in Cab,

A dying mans hand guided the
crowded east bound Great Northern
passenger train as it sped on it's way
from Robbinsdale to Clear Water
Junction, says dispatch from Mime
apolis.
The dying man was George P. Ir-
win, the engineer, who died moment
after he was taken from the train in
Minneapolis and placed in a hospital
ambulance.
Irwin was found unconscious and
leaning out of the cab window by his
fireman, George Ridgeway. Pulling
the limp form of his companion back
into the cab, Ridgeway noticed the en-
ginner's skull was fractured. Holding
the engineer in one arm, he controlled
the engine with the other and took
the train into Clear Water Junction.
Irwin is supposed to have struck his
head against bridge railing as the
train left Robinsdale.

Torpedoes and the Crew.


Among the debutantes last winter in
the official set. at Washington was
bright girl, the daughter of congress-
man from the interior. On the oc-
casion of the assembling fthe At
lantic fleet in Hampton Roads this
young person was escorted around one
of the batt1eships by a gunnery officer
whom she had met in Washington. It
was the first warship the young
woman had ever seen, and naturally
she was much impressed by the won
derful sights which were revealed to
her.
The gunnery officer explained very
thoroughly to her the mechanism and
use Of the torpedo in warfare; and she
examined the deadly engine of war
presented to her gaze critically and
fearfully.
Then she tapped it with the point
of her parasol and let her glove run
over its FURNISHED side, as she dazed
the officers with this naive question:,

To Treat Ties with Creosote.

To prolong the life of cross ties,
and thereby minimize the consumption
of timber, the Pennsylvania railroad
has determined in future to treat with
creosote ties which shall be used in
its main tracks. The company two
years ago undertook tree planting upon
a large scale. Since that time it has
set out 2,425,O00 trees and has handled
this year 625,000. Extensive planting
OF trees and shrubbery for ties, lum-
Der and ornamental purposes is being
made on land owned by the company
in various parts of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. In order to provide still
more completely against the future, a
contract has just been placed for the
construction Of tie treating plant at
Mount Union, Pa, and, in addition, for
two large creosote storage tanks at
Greenwich Point, Philadelphia.
