Varieties of Shocks.

If a train, moving at a speed of twen-ty-five miles an hour, were suddenly stopped, the passengers would experience a shock equal to that of falling from a second-floor window; at thirty miles an hour, they might as well fall from a height of three pairs of stairs, and an express train would, in point of fact, make them fall from a fourth story.
