Automobile Used to Light Train.

One of the special trains used as a hotel during the automobile races recently held in Savannah, Ga., developed troubles in its electric generating mechanism, thus interfering with its lighting system. The difficulty was

remedied by renting an electric auto* mobile and connecting its batteries with the lighting circuit of the train by cable. All lights were furnished by this method during the time the train was side-tracked at the race course. —'Popular Mechanics.
