Cattle. Iocusts and RAILWAYS,

In running railways in Brazil there
are two difficulties to contend with
which the European traveller does not
know-cattle and locusts The cattle
cannot be kept of the track. Miles
and miles Of it are fenced in. and yet
the cattle manage to force their way
through and then cannot get out The
cowcatcher is efficient, but not sutt1
GENTLY so, as the trains are often de
rallied by an OK being caught either
between the cowcatcher or cylinder
and the rail- or even between the loco
motive and the truss of q bridge. but
such accidents are hardly ever serious
I.ocusts are less common. but occa-

they come to earth they may pile ar
to foot deep In the cuttings. and. OF
course, the locomotives will skid along
