with an accident last evening which for
tunately injured no one but dishgured
the train from the engine TO Che end
Of the last car. a train Of flat cars had
been shifted onto siding of the main
line just below Granite street and the
last car OF this train was large steel
coal car and this car was left so that
the rear end Of il was still on the main
line.
The passenger train went out soon
after and a brakeman in the yard sig
nailed engineer Thomas Farrell that the
line was clear. The passenger train was
going at good speed and nj the darkness
the engineer did not see the ear project
ing onto the track until II was too late
to stop his train, and in fact he had a
narrow escape from being struck in the
head BIZ the top of the coal car, ais he
was leaning out Of the window Of the
cab when the engine hit the car
Before the engineer could bring the
train to stop, the end Of the coal car
had raked the sides Of the two coaches
and the baggage car tearing off steps
and boards from the cars just beneath
the windows. The smoker was next to
the engine and was the worst damaged,
having several windows broken ont and
the steps torn off The crash Of break
ing boards and the tipping Of the car
threw the passengers from their seats
and caused no little excitement among
them for few minutes.
The women passengers screamed at
the top Of their voices when the car
struck, but no one was injured by being
thrown against the seats The cars are
being run on the train this morning,
except the smoker, hit will be set of for
repairs AZ soon as other coaches are pro-
yided. These two coaches had only
very recently been in the shops and
thoroughly renovated and painted, and
the train was III the best shape that il
had been for some time
The coal ear with several other cars
had Just been shifted from the Wells
River road onto the Wells River trans
fer tracks To be transferred TO the G. ",
aud the train had been pushed onto the
siding too far, 50 that the end Of the
coal car, which was loaded, projected

THE SLY FOX.
Dead In the Dairy, But Lively When
He Got Outside.

Dead In the Dairy, But Lively When
He Got Outside.
Several years ago at an old fash
ioned farmhouse called Title Hall,
in Boxted, a small village lying be-
tween Sudbury and Bury st. Edmunds,
Suffolk, England, there lived a farmer
and his wife who thought much Of
their COWS and dairy, but they were
rather pestered with foxes, as the
squire Of Boxted Hall, an ancient
mansion, being lord Of the manor, did
not allow them to be molested, as
they were reserved for sporting, and
so it happened that the farmers wife
on going into her dairy one morning
was Mortified to see a fox Of an enor-
nous size lying dead, as she suppos-
ed, on the floor. The dairies at that
time were large and airy, with large
lattice windows and floors paved with
clinker bricks, which were often
scrubbed down with a birch broom
and much water. A brick was left
out of the wall level with the floor for
a sink hole, where all the refuse was
washed out. The fox in his nightly
prowls around the house appears to
have scented the cream through the
windows or sink hole and, as he would
like to taste it, squeezed himself
through the hole into the dairy and
made his way to the cream pot, and
as it was so very nice he ate it all up.
He swelled himself up to such a size
that he could by no means get back
through the hole again, and, hearing
footsteps coming, he lay down on the
floor and feigned to be dead. The
lady, suspecting what he had been do
ing, looked into her cream pot, and
finding it all gone, she was 80 exas-
perated that she took him up in a
rage, thinking he was dead, and with
an ugly word threw him out into the
back yard; but, to her great conster-
nation and dismay, as soon as reynard
found he was at large and once more
free to use his legs he bounded off ut
full speed, leaving the lady to grieve
over the escape of the audacious and
crafty thief.

There can be no exaggerating the
difficulties Mr.. Yamada has encounter
ed in trying to overcome the effects OF
varying and eccentric currents Of wind
at different attitudes.
At least there is no doubt Of these
difficulties being uppermost In his
mind, and his efforts to overcome them
have led to an invention, duly planned
in blue and white, but which is as yet
a secret.
With this theory in working shape
Mr.. Yamada hopes to be able to defy
the destroyer and to do what Is more
creditable still, in his opinion, con-
quer the air, so that ships will not be
at the mercy of every wind that blows.
What reference was made to Euro
pean and American activity in aero
nautics showed Mr.. Yamada to be well
acquainted with the most discussed
questions Of the whole subject.
His source of information is the
translators' bureau referred to at the
beginning Of this article, where he says
he can read in his own language ev-
erything that Is written upon the sub
ject in Europe.
He does not regard the future Of the
aeroplane with enthusiasm, nor does
he think the development Of the air
ship as a means Of commerce very
hopeful.
Between the application for and the
grant of the patent for the Yamada XII
kiu nearly three years elapsed, but be-
cause of certain secret official investi-
cations it was considered premature to
give the invention the publicity con-
ferred by the patent Office.
The delay shows the interest taken
in the whole subject by the Japanese
government.
During the war Japan made much
more effective use of balloons than the
Russians did, and by the time Of the
next war it Is probable Japan will be
as we'll furnished in respect Of airships
as any European power.-London
