Two Engineers Blown
From Locomotive by
Boiler Explosion
WELLS, England te — A pas
senger train swayed along a coun
try track with nobody at the con
trols Saturday after two engineers
were blown from the locomotive
by a boiler explosion.
Only a few passengers were
aboard the train as it puffed
through Cheddar Valley in Somer
set. None was aware of what hap-',
pened.
A mile down the line the train
rumbled past a station at which
it was supposed to stop. A guard
at the rear realized something
wits wrong and slammed on an
emergency brake.
A rescue party found the two
engineers hy the tracks and rush
ed them to a hospital. Both were
in critical condition.
Almost every savage tribe has
considered it stylish to wear ear
rings. In the past these beauty
ornaments have weighed up to
three pounds.
Scientists Find Way
To Preserve Meat
Without Refrigeration
CHICAGO UR — Scientists and
medical men have found how to
preserve meat indefinitely without
refrigeration. They de-germ it.
Maj. Gen. Webster Anderson,
new Quartermaster General of
U. S. Army, said Thursday the
preservation technique is to bom
bard the meat with rays from
radio-active cobalt or from atom
smashers.
The rays kill micro-organisms
that cause food spoilage. Ander
son said he told newsmen the
germless meats have been proved
safe for human consumption by
scientists and medical men.
The only drawback, Anderson
said, is that bombarded meat loses
some flavor. The scientists are
working on that.
