The camping-out automobile ought
to be a popular vehicle in the fu-
ture. With provision for transform
ing the seats into a mattress covered
bed, with cooking apparatus supplied
with fuel from the gasoline tank Of
the car, and with a tent fourteen feet
in length ready for use whenever
night overtakes the tourist, there
should be a new pleasure in Gross
country trips. Good inns are none
too frequent in the United States,
so that there is much to be said in

COAL CARS IN RUNAWAY.

A sensational run was made by a
train of ten cars laden with coal, the
other day, which had been standing
on the mineral railway, near Dy-
start, Station, Fifeshire, Scotland. 1t
started to run down the incline
toward the Frances Pit of the Earl
of Rosslyn's collieries. Gaining
speed, they crashed through the gates
at the level crossing on Wemyss road,
and after careering for about half
a mile passed underneath the pit
head, and dashed into a corner
of a brick building, the gable OF
which was demolished by the impact.
A man at work in the building was
struck by the debris, but escaped
with slight injuries. The guards
van was smashed to m%atchwood, and
four of the cars, which were derailed.
were also badly damaged.

ON A TECHNICALLY
Man Undoubtedly Guilty Of cruslty to
Whales, but No Law Covered
the Case.

An officer of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
appealed from the decision of JUS
tees of Penzance, Cornwall, Eng
land, who had dismissed an infor-
nation charging Alfred James Rog-
ers with cruelty to certain whales.
The defendant was not represent
ed.
Mr.. Bevan, in support of the APP
peal, said that in July a school Of
about sixty large whales were swim
ming in Mounts bay. AS the tide
receded they were left high and dry
on the beach. The inhabitants
walked among the whales, which
could not get away, and the defend
ant stabbed n under the eye and
ripped it with a knife for three OF
four feet. The justices found that
he had been guilty Of cruelty, but
that as the whales we're not animals
in captivity the case did not come
within the act for the prevention Of
cruelty to wild animals in captivity.
After arguments, the court af-
frmed the decision Of the justices.
