Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. August 3.-The villagers of
Watchet. in Somersetshire, have been
mystified by the building of twelve-mile
railway which leads to nowhere which
has no stations. no signal boxes, no
booking offices and no advertisements
nothing but two locomotives and a train
of wagons, which never carry any goods
in their ceaseiess journeys. A. r. Angus
of Sydney. N. s. w. is in charge of the
work. and he gave an explanation.
1T Is an experimental railway" he
said. with which l hope to convince the
engineering experts of the world that l
have built foolproof' locomotive
There will be no up and down and
distant signals on my line. The engine
will pick up electrical messages from the
rails as 1t travels along and each loco
motive will have what you might term
electrical brain The mechanism on
the locomotive will determine for itself
whether it is safe not to enter each
section of the journey.
If the section Is not clear tho driver
receives the signal. and If he fails to
act on this the locomotive shuts off it's
own steam and applies the brakes. and.
furthermore. by system of electrical
communication it prevents any other train
from approaching it too closely.

Trouble This Year.

" h1le everything seems Tranquil on
the surface this year. there were "A
number Of differences. not only between
the United states and Sweden, but be-
tween sweden and other countries
Americas most serious trouble oc-
Cured in the semi final heats of the
4eV-mefers run. Young of the .Ameri-
can team was dislualii ed for what
every Nmpartia! spectator considered an
unavoidable foul. and for which he was
III no way TO blame. The construction
Of the Swedish track made a sharp
turn at the first corner unavoida BILE.
FROM the very beginning the Swedish
officials had failed to discipline run
ners for cutting in front of their OPP
ponents before they were fun stride
IN front In this particular race Braun
OF Germany and Young of America
were the principal competitors. Braun
got away first and reached the turn
possibly a foot ahead Of Young In
spite of this he tried to take the pole
This meant that Young either had to
stop, spike Braun or be pushed Off the
track. lnstnctveiy TO protect him
self he put out his hand in front Of
him and Braun lunged into Youngs
arm and was pushed away. There was
no doubt that Young showed Braun
but the German was to blame for the
miS-up. After the race Young was dis
qualified
cision without making a protest, trying
to convince the Swedish officials til I
Braun was to blame for the trouble.
Later the Swedish committee an
nounced that Young was disqualified
not for fouling Braun. but for taking
the pole from a Swede in the same
race before he was a stride in front of
him. No one could be found after
ward who could explain this foul, and
Ernest Hjertberg, the Swedish coach,
n O. fs.r n "a ha xx,-yfl 1.
that there was no Swede in the race.
James E. Sullivan. the American com
missioner the next day asked one Of
the Swedish officials who had ruled on
the incident to draw 4 diagram show
ing what had occurred. but he could
not do it.
According to American or English
rules Young would never ,have been
disqualified under these circumstances.
Braun was the man at fault, and even
he could not have been charged with
q wi.lful foul. According to all the
rules of athletics the Swedes erred in
two important particulars. Ii the dis
qualification was for the collision. be-
tween Young and Braun then the Ger
man and not the American should have
been disqualified. But if Young were
out for cutting in front of the Swede
the race should have been rerun with
out Young to give the Swede an op-
portunity to get into the final heat.
This incident is mentioned in detail
here not to criticise unduly the swedish
management but to call attention to
the necessity of some uniform rules SO
that all the competitors may know
their rights and what to expect. Young,
who is one of the most highminded
men on the American team, felt the
humiliation of being disqualified most
keenly and was conscious of running
the fairest race he knew how. Even

usually quick to criticise American

The Rubber Boom.

The great growth Of the rubber trade OF
recent years has demonstrated the in
suffciency of the space available for rub
Der al the St Katharine dock. where
stocks have been kept for many years
past As q consequence. and also having
regard to the requirements of the wool
trade at the dock named. II has been
resolved 10 transfer the rubber business
to the London dock. The need OF addi-
tional accommodation may be inferred
from the fact that the business has in
creased by 3e0 per cent during the last
five years.
Considerable care is demanded in the
warehousing of rubber. which requires.
among other things, to be stored IN cool
vaults, with a minimum variation in tenn
perature, to prevent loss OF weight. Ac-
cordingly. the port authority j. setting
aside 4 special warehouse and vaults a
the London dock. wherein. Under ideal
conditions, rubber can be received. eN-
amined, sampled and stored against de-
livery 10 consumers. The accommodation.
on which considerab BILE outlay is being
made. will provide greatly increased Ia
cilities as compared with those which
now obtain at the st. Katharine DOCK

The oriental newspaper. which is print
