Elephants Block a Train.

A> railway train on the Darjeeling line in India was recently stopped by an unusual obstacle—a herd of wild elephants. The beasts would not stir from the rails, disdaining to be frightened by the whistle, and the driver was obliged to back the train out of their way. When at last they left the passage free, and the train ran swiftly past, one of the biggest elephants tore after it, trying to charge the carriages.
