The Railway Review (Chicago). is
exactly what happened in the recent
railway disaster st Porter. Indiana. In
this wreck an engineer ran past the
signals that should have stopt him.
This was the primary cause of the
catastrophe: but. in addition. there
was a derailinG device which should
have caused the train to leave the

JAPANESE SILVER FOX FARMS
Country Is Going Into Their Raising Extensively, With Animals Ina
 ported From Canada.

Six silver foxes from one of the largest fox farms in Prince Edward island, eastern Canada, were shipped recently to Japan, where a syndicate Is about to undertake fur farming, writes Francis Dickie in the Scien- tific American. The foxes were val ued at $5,000 per head, and were from a long line of domesticated stock, carrying a pedigree as notable as any famous horse or dog.
 The Japanese spirit of enterprise and their alertness to try any vest ern form of business which promises good returns Is most strikingly evil denced in their attempting to raise this producer of expensive fur in their own land. The climate of some parts of Japan, the representa- tive of the syndicate claims, is suf- fciently like the natural one of the Canadian foxes as to make the ven- ture feasible. The animals while en route dined on chicken, choice "a beef, lamb and pork.
