At the moment of the wreck fire
broke out from the gasoline tanks.
The engineer looked back and saw
the fire and immediately carried the
front end of the train out of danger
of the flames. When the gasoline
tanks blew up the surrounding coun

thousands of gallons of gasoline
burned fiercely for hours, affording
a most spectacular sight The L. &

the nineteen cars behind the wrecked

INVENTS MEW MACHINE GUM
Mechanically Operated Loading Device)

There comes now an inventor with:
the significant name of Ford not
Henry, however with somo start
ling improvements for the machine
gun, asserts Edward C. Crossman in
the Popular Science Monthly,
The first one is a mechanically on-
crated loadinrr machinfi to WMffrTf4 ; :iC

bile, airplane or other power vehicle.
The second is a circulating wator
cooling sj'stem, a la automobile, in
which tho water passes from thijj'
jacket around the gun barrel to a
regular automobile radiator, which;
in turn is cooled by a fan driven byi
tho power that operates the loading
mechanism and which in turn is
merely the power plant of the car. Ai
centrifugal pump makes the water
move, although it would surely ther
mosiphon hurriedly if this system
were used instead of tho pomp. '
Tho third startler is the fact that.
the gun is designed to bo an integral!
part of its carriage, which is a gajjl
engine propelled vehicle. Perhaplj
this idea was borrowed from taf

chhie gun is rigidly mounted te lW
