PHANTOM MOTOR-CAR.

MYSTERIOUS VISITS. LIGHTS SEEN FROM THE CHATEAU A correspondent writes from the Natiqjial Park as follows: Visitors and residents at the Chateau, National Park, have been puzzled by the midnight appearances of a phantom motorcar. On several occasions recently the powerful headlights of a swiftly-approaching car, the beams of which flash now into the sky and now across tho white expanse of snow lying in front of the Chateau, have been seen 'by people waiting for the night trains. After showing vividly for a few minutes the lights disappear, and no further sign is seen either of headlights or car. So real is tho apparition that one of tho Chateau service drivers on his nightly run to the National Park station, seeing dazzling headlights on the narrow road, pulled aside to allow the car to pass. Ho was astonished to find that no car camo and that the'lights vanished, and although he watched carefully, he saw no car at all right to tho end of the road. So far no natural explanation has been found for this phenomenon, which is all the more incredible as there is no habitation at all on the road, nor any side roads by which a car could como and go.
