Show SCIENTIFIC basis, a train on the Chicago, Buvnav ton and Quincy road, which was running at what was at that time a very high rats of speed, met with a most unusual accident It was an intensely hot day in August Those who are acquainted with that country are willing to admit that the degree of heat sometimes experienced in that region is little short ef the boiling pitch. The rails were heated and as the heavy train passed over them they seemed to almost give way under the weight Suddenly the engineer saw the track ahead of him rise from the road bed, wing out of line, then slowly settle down on the level prairie. In an almost perfect curve. The ties and rails were not disconnected, but seemed merely to have lifted themselves up to fall in a more comfortable position. The train was stopped and after a thorough examination it was deemed safe enough for the train to pass over, which It did, moving very slowly and cautiously. Experts visited the place, as soon as possible and declared that the accident was due to the expansion of the rails. Their ends touched, and there being no room for lengthwise extension they had no choice but to lift themselves and form a curve. It is probable that the Jarring of the train assisted in this matter, the vibrations possibly starting the sidewise movement At all events, it was a most peculiar and interesting incident TOPICS.
