A DANCE ROUS PRACTICE.
A cheat number of people who travel in trains- do not seem to recognise the danger of hanging their arms out of the windows. Some go so far an to put- their heads out. Cases have been reported where people have had arms broken by being struck by passing carriages, and through striking other obstacles, and in Victoria a couple ol years ago a ma n's head was smashed to a pulp through the same thing. A case in point happened between Sydney and Eveleigh a few days ago. A little girl, travelling with her mother to Camden, let her arm hang out of a window, and some portion of a passing t-raiu truck it, with the result that it was badly broken near the elbow. The train was "pulled up at Kveloigh, and the injured child taken to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for treatment.
