EIephants and Railroads.

Recently two railroad trains in Siam
have had encounters with elephants.
In both eases the animals were killed
but IN one the train was derailed and
six cars were telescoped. 1t appears
that the locomotives had no cowcltch-
ers. for European railroad engineers
generally smile al cowcatchers as de-
vices suitable only for what they Inn
agine TO be American conditions of
traffic. II Is now remarked. however
that the American cowcatcher might
be very good. for stray elephants. and
they have been introduced on the large
locomotives of the Damascus.Mecca
line. anticipating possible collisions
with camals.
