MS. DIS3TON T ~S PLAYTHING.
A Colossal Undertaking that Should
Do Much for f lor.da.
From the Sew York Tribune.
One of toe moat energetics men of to-day
j, Hamilton Dimton of Philadelphia, aon of
H e ary Disston, of aawmnking fame, head of
tbe great manufacturing housj of Henry
Huston’* done. Having grown wearied
with tte monotony of personally conduct
ing a bust'less requiring a force of 3,000
akiile-i artisans, he has entered into anew
indmtry. the pursuit of which
e . vt * him the highest satisfaction,
if not the greatest profit. Hamilton
Disston will be known to posterity as
B reclaimer of land as well as a sawmaker.
B nd incidentally may be remembered as a
grower of cane sugar. Furht run re he will
be set down a* a wonderful traveler. No
engineer, no conductor, no Pullman car por
ter, knows tbe road from Philadelphia to
Kiiimmee ha'f so thoroughly as V. In bis
special car he U avels it s > often that one
grows tired of costing the trips Mi lo be
tween the saw w urks and the svigar mill.
The distance is i,4<X) miles, yet he speaks of
the jou.-ey as if it were an hour’s walk.
Mr. Disston is about 45 years of age, is
short of stature, has a mustache like "Da i"
I.amout’s and an eye like that of the great
v . 'in tbe cage at tbe Tatn[ a Bay hotel,
s ss. can look straight at the sun with
•„ k - ir, or even a blink. He is far from
t .. me. In bis features there is too
concentration of rugged lines for
hssu' f to have a place. At the club in Phila-
la he is a clubman in the best mean*
ing’of that phrase; be is one of the best enter
tainers, and one of the most gererous. Noth
ing can subdue, depress or uisoourage him.
He ca drink plenty of champagne between
U o'clock and mid light, and be at the saw
works at 7 o’clock with cool and capacious
brain. At the sugar plantation he might
always pass unnoticed by the visiting
stranger. His rusty old clothes and his
little slouch bat, with the brim drawn down
jti a sharp point over the left eye, do indeed
distinguish him from the "cracker,” but
in a party of celebrated people he
would never be seen till looked
hard at two or three times. It is
on the sugar plantation that you would,
however, find him at his best. Go visit
him there. Go look over his millions of
acres and walk through his mill. His head
quarters are at Kissimmee, properly pro
nounced "Kis-simm-ee,” accent on the
'Vimm.” Don’t make the oft repeated mis
take of asking a young woman: "Are you
going to Kiss-immee?” There is a legend
in Florida about a man having been kicked
off a moving tram for being too facetious
concerning Kissimmee.
Send a messenger around to the station
of the St. Cloud Sugar Beet railroad and
order a special train for an 8-mile ride to
the sugar mill. The road is Mr. Disston’s
now. When built, it was the joint prop
erty of >lr. Disston and William L. Scott,
the coal baron of Erie, who had a much
more oxtensivo interest in Florida than his
acquaintance dreamed of. Tbe track, like
the man that owns it, is broad gauge, and
the engines and cars are first-class. An
arm of Lake Tohopekaliga is crossed
a short distance from Kissimmee, and here
the visitor sees the first signs of tbe
colossal undertaking of the man who is con
verting into dry land marshes that spread
over enough acres to make a state larger
than Rhode Island or Delaware. The lake,
fifteen miles long, one of the largest and
most t eautiful in Florida, as well as tbe
m lit dangerous, has been robbed of four
feet of water by the deepening of the canal
that runs into Lake Kissimmee, which lies
eighteen miles to the southward and emp
ties through the Kissimmee river into Lake
Okeechobee, seventy-five miles lower down.
The last named, the largest body of fresh
water in tbe south, is drained by the ser
pentine Caloosahatohie river, which joins
tbe gulf at Pine island, 100 miles south of
the Tampa Inn. To lower four feet the sur
face of a lake whose superficial area is little
less tbau seventy-five square miles ie do bit
of childish nonsense. The reclaiming of the
Okeefinoket. in Southern Georgia is porhaiie
a more stupendous enterprise than this, in
so far as mere drainage is concerned, but it
is not believed that Georgia will gain nearly
bo much by it as Florida has gained by the
operations of Mr. Disstou in drawing off the
waters of Tohopekaliga. By his well
planned Hystem of canals he ha* left high
and dry, uot only all the old
piers und wharves that were once
the pride of Kissimmee, but
also 4,000,000,000 acre* of as rich land as
tho tropical sun ever shown upon. He went
into partnership with tbe state, furnished
all the capital of the firm, did all the work,
and took one-half of the profits, that is, one
halt of the land reclaimed, so that he now
0wn52,000,000 acres. The land, as may be
seen by a glance at the sides of the deepest
ditches in the reclaimed territory, is of tbe
finest quality. No subsoil is discovered.
From the surface to a depth of ten or t wolve
feat you find a rich, black loam, easily cul
tivated and highly productive. Experi
ment has proved that it is peculiarly
adapted to the growth of ribbon cano, and
the belief io widespread that the i egion, al
ready characterized as the sugar belt, is
destined to become the sugar center of the
United States.
The manufacture of sugar is anew in
dustry in Florida, but with the government
aid is is making rapid strides. The orange
crop has not been generally profitable in the
last four years. Many growers have lost
money, owiug to the overproduction; Cali
fornia having proved a formidable, nay, a
disastrous competitor. The only crop of
which Florida can safely boast at this
writing is the crop of northern tourists. It
has in reality kept the state alive when
everything else failed. It is increasing all
the time.is not affected by drougebs or fresh
ets, and requires nocultivation. It does not
have to be marketed. It is ready
money. But the natives continue to grow
oranges and they will soon begin to
grow sugar. The government bounty on
home-grown sugar is 2 cents a pound, which
should make the crop highly profitable. The
West Indies, as sugar-producing islands, are
rapidly losing ground. Especially is this
true of all the smaller islands, the Wind
ward group having practically been ruined
by the system of absentee-landlordism,
*hich prevails to an alarming extent. The
Louisiana plantations are not what they
were, though the acreage is now on the in
crease—a fact due entirely to the bounty.
Mr. Disstou had a little over 3,600 acres
in sugar cane last year, and his mill is still
grinding and boiling and evaporating.
The yield is 4.000 pounds of high grade
sugar to the acre, and he was well satisfied
ith it till Claus Spreckels became his guest,
Bud after looking over the ground, de
clared :
‘DisstoD, you say you are making 4,000
Funds to the acre. Why, with suoh land
ts this, you should not make less than four
Las. You should have no trouble making
five.”
Mr. Spreckels may be supposed to know
something about sugar. But oven with a
liiid of 4,000 pounds Mr. Disston is making
J!” crop fetch in over S3OO gm acre. Mr.
“Preckels pays him a fraction over3 cents a
Pound for his crop, and the government,
•imply to encourage him, makes him a
Present of 3 more, which enables him to sell
•’■over 5 cents. But he is not in the busi-
I,< * to make money alone. When asked
his real object was in reclaiming
land and making sugar, he replied:
'.[{he truth is, I wanted a plaything.”
" ell, you have it,” replied a friend.
And it has eot you a vast bubo, too,”
“'u another.
, " 1 hat’s so,” was the answer, "but I am
caving a vast amount of fun with it.”
Hit magnificent mill alone represents an
.vestment of $500,000. Thera is no better
*h the world. Its present capacity is
brn-a day. A government officer look*

PASSING OF IHffl BLONDE
She Ik Being Crowded Out By the
Stately and Athletic Brunette.
From the Sew York Recorder.
A cry has gone forth that the blonde type
of woman is disappearing, that the golden
haired, blue-eyed, peaches and cream girl
is being shoved out by a tall, athletio young
woman with dark hair and Pig, dark eyes.
This is not the first time that this wail has
been ui.tered. it is the same old bowl which
goes up annually, but as this is the first
time it has been raised this year, it is, per
haps, fitting to stop and consider the ti uth
of the story.
It would t>e a sad thing to really believe
that all the blondes were fading out of the
world. Why, since the world began, the
blonde woman has been the acknowledged
type of innooence and truth. All the virt
ues nestled comfortably in her amber
tresses, and all the graces played bide and
seek in the fringes of her azure eyes. Do
you suppose you could persuade any one
that Eve was a dark-haired woman! Did
you ever hear of a blaek-eyed angel.
Why, 1 know a woman who used to cry
herself to sleep every Sunday night when
she was a child. She thought she was too
good to go to bell, but she didn’t soe how
they were going to make room in heaven
for a brunette, and it preyed on her mind
awfully.
All tbe bewitching women whose names
have been immortalized in history aod
poesy were blondes. Don’t you know that
the hair of Venus rippled on her divine
shoulders in a golden flood! Ceres’ hair
was corn colored. Helen of Trov had locks
as yellow as wheat. The old masters have
painted Salome, who danced for the head of
John the Baptist, with a crown of golden
hair. Remember Lucretia Borgia’s
tawny aureole. Lady Macbeth,
Mary Tudor, Catherine and Mane
do Medici, *Anne of Austria,
Mme. de Sevigne were all blondes. One of
the greatest charms of the Empress Eugenie
was her golden red hair. Queen Elizabeth
had distinctly red tresses. Cousin describes
the hair of the Duohess de Longueville as
"the finest cif ashen-blonde hair, falling in
rich curls around the pure oval face aud
spreading over the perfect shoulders.”
The Roman women hated their dark
hair and wore blonde wigs, imported from
Germany at fabulous prices.
The German women were very proud of
their light locks, and those who did not
possess them washed their hair in beer or
rubbed it with plaster of lime.
Tho Venetian ladies underwent all sorts
of torture to produce the bronze tints called
after Titian, which are so popular with our
actresses to-day.
So, you see, in other days there were
plenty of blonde*. It is a famous humorist
who tells us why nowadays we have more
brunettes than blondes.
“Heaven,” he says, "sent upon tho earth
many women with golden hair that thoy
might charm the other half of humanity.
Seeing this, the devil who hates men, sent
cooks. These, with theiit sauces and ra
gouts, disordered the human liver and pro
duced the desired result —dark skin and
hair.”
There may be a grain of truth in this
witticism or it may be merely a peevish
thrust born of gout, but it serves to show
that even a humorist who is engaged in
making jokes all his life cau realize a sad
truth when he cones in oontaot with it
The novelists also seem to appreciate the
fact that the blonde type is out of the race,
for they make their heroines brunettes.
One can remember when tho good and gen
tle heroine of a novel was always u pale
saintly creature, with turquoise eyes and
honey-colored tresses. Gradually she
changed to a plump and cheerful brunette,
with hazol eyes, brown hair and red cheeks.
In these days si,e is a tall, willowy individu
al, with either green eyes aud bronze-red
hair, or gray eyes aud r6ddish-brown hair.
But if blundes are scarce, if golden hair
is not often seen, so is black hair. That
heavy veil of treßses as black as a raven’s
wings and with the same purplish shadows
In it which is the heritage of the patriolan
Italian women, is seldom seen elsewhere.
We have bleached blondes and drab
blondes, and we have muddy brunettes,
aud half-and-half brunettes, but we rarely
have the perfect type in either case.
Dandruff forms when the glands of the
skin are weakened, and, if neglected, bald
ness is sure to follow. Hall’s Hair Renewer
is tbf best preventive.— Ad.
PARAGUAY ALLIGATORS.
They Are Numerous and Hard to Kill,
But Not Dangerous.
From Si. Nicholas.
Of course, since there are no hunters to
kill them, wild animals arc very plentiful;
it is not uncommon to see jaguars and deer,
even from the deck of tbe steamer. But
moseof all alligators about. When the
waters are highest, they roam over the
flooded land, seeking the small animals,
water birds and fish on which they live; at
that time they are not so common along tbe
river channels, and only now and then may
one be seen in the shallows, witn but the
top of his ugly head above the surfaoe of the
water.
In the dry season, as the waters recede,
they gather in the river in such amtiziug
numbers that I can compare them only to
tadpoles in a pond. I have counted over
sixty on a small sand bank, literally piled
one over the other, while ail around tbe
water was full of them. They lie thus for
hours basking in the sun, and quite still;
but if a steamer approaches the mass begins
to move, there is a great rattling of scales
as they hustle each other to rcaeh the water,
and in a moment only five or six aro left,
who raise their heads and stare at tbe ves
sel until it ha* passed them. These more
oourageous fellows are generally the larger
ones, and offer tempting shots. I am no
spoi uiiusn, hut my brother-in-law, who was
traveling with me, killed many from the
steamer’s deck, using only oourse shot.
It Is not so easy to kill those that are seen
on the surfaco of tbe water: shot, and even
a bullet, will glance off from tbe hard skull
unless the eye be hit. Tbe top of the eye
socket is never more than two or three
inohes above the surface, aud as they are
usually at rather long range, even a skill
ful marksman may he pardoned for a miss.
Though so numerous the alligators are
not regarded as daogarous. l have often
seen the young uegrdes and Indian hoys
swimming within a few yard* of them, and
the re, tiles paid little attention to their
play. Cattle, too, wade about tbe flooded
grass lands in search of pasturage, and are
ra: elv molested by alligators. In fact, un
less driven to bay or ravenous with hunger,
they dare not attack man or the larger ani
mals; but they are always on the watch for
smaller pray.

THE MICROSCOPE.
How tbe Instrument Punished the
Guilty and Saved the Innocent.
From the Chicago Herald.
In conversation a day or two ago with the
crown prosecutor I was shown a curious ac
count of persons who had been found guil
ty of murder by circumstantial evidenoe,
and one of the greatest aids in the detec
ton of murder crimes is furnished by tbe
microscope in tbe bands of scientific men.
In dstiuguDning human blood on a knife or
razor from rust or from that of another ani
mal, in discovering a particle of poisonous
matter invisible to tbe naked eye, and m
various other w ays the microscope has ren
dered invaluable assistance to justice. It
has been the means of acquitting many an
innocent man whom the chain of circum
stantial evidence was drawing toward the
gallows, and of delivering many a murder
er into the bands of the executioner.
In 1855 a murder of an unusually brutal
character was committed in Cumberland.
The murdered man, the paymaster of a col
liery, had been waylaid in a lonely up ,t,
his throat cut from ear to ear. and his bodv
fluug under a hedge. Circumstai tal evi
dence of a very mcriminat.ug nature was
brought aqainst tbe prisoner. He bad been
seen near tne spot of the murder about the
time tbe deed was done, and had attempted
to disguise himself by cutting off his whis
kers; but jurors are very reluctant to con
vict on circumstantial evidence alone, and
the circumstances in this case, though very
incriminating, were not thought sufficiently
conclusive. The aid of the detective micro
scope was invoked. A learned microscopist
on examining the prisoner's trousers found
voveral spots of human blood, the largest
"being uot so large as a swacshot."
Around these spots were traces of soap, ev
ident signs of the spots having been at
tempted to be washed out, while over one or
two Ink had been spread. The ivory
handle of a razor found in the prisoner's
posession was also smeared with humau
blood.
Avery severe cross-examination left the
witness’ evidence unshaken. He showed
that the oorpuicles or globules of human
blood cau be easily distinguished by an ex
pert from those of any other animal, those
found in the human blood being each about
1-3,200 of an inob in diameter, those of a
sheep being about 1-7,000 of an inch; of a
dog, 1-3,542, etc. A verdict of guilty was
found aud the man executed.
Another proof of the wonderful detective
powers of the microscope was given at the
Chelmsford spring assize*. This was also
a case of murder, tbe victim being an old
woman living alone and baring a consider
able amount of money in her bed-chamber.
The ba k of her head was beaten in, no
doubt by means of a large hammer, and
the head nearly severed from the body.
The footsteps around the house coincided
with tho imprints of tho prisoner’s boots;
tbe hammer found beside the murdered
woman’s bed was declared by a neighbor to
have been seen in his po session; a little girl
had seen him come from tbs house on the
morning of the murder, and—most conclu
sive proof of all—in a brook a mile or more
from tbe old woman’s house was found a
pocket handkerchief, and'tightly rolled In it
a razor covered with blood, which it was
proved belonged to the prisoner.
The defense argued: Assuming the razor
and handkerchief belonged to the prisoner,
and that the blood upon them was human,
they may have had nothing to do with this
murder, having been found a considerable
distance from the murdered woman’s house.
The microscope answered the question in
the most conclusive manner. Upon the
blade of the razor, beside the blood marks,
were found a few fibers of flax and cotton.
On inspecting the murdered body it was
found that the razor had partially severed
one of the strings of the woman’s nightcap,
whioh string was oomposed of a mixture of
cottou and flax.
Another remarkable illustration may be
given of the important part played by the
mioroao ipo in securing the conviction of a
murderess. Not many years ago a female
child, about 9 years of age, was found mur
dered by a deep gash in the throat in a
small plantation near Norwich. Suspicion
fell upon the mother, who had been seen by
several persons leading the child toward the
place where the crime bad been committed.
Upon the woman being searched a long
and sharp knife was found, which, on close
exar. inatiOD, revealed a bit of fur or hair
on the handle. When asked to explain how
the fur came there the prisoner brazenly
replied: “Yes, I dare say there is, and very
likely some stains of blood, for ail came
home I found a rabbit fast in a snare, and
cut his throat with the knife.”
The truth-telling mioroscope cast a differ
ent light on the subject. The inioroscoput,
on separating the handle from the blade,
found between the two a quantity of human
blood, and asserted that tbe fur was that of
n squirrel. The strange fact was revealed
that around the child’s neck, when the mur
der was being done, was a tippet over which
tbe murderer’s knife must have passed, and
which was made of squirrel’s fur.
Tbe innocent, howov9r, have also reason
to bless the microsoope. A few years ago a
man was on the point of being sentenced to
death, the principal evidence against him
being that ho was seen near the scene of the
murder, and had in his possession a knife
"covered with blood.” The microscope dis
covered the so-called blood bo be sfuiply
lime juice.
Instances of the condemned who have sur
vived the hangman’s rope are by no means
rare. Not many years ago a man was pub
licly hanged in Englaud three separate
time3, and, either through detects in the
scaffold machinery or the hangman’s bung
ling, eleaped death after all, Pe pie pre
tended to see in this a visible interposition of
provideo ee to save tho man’s life. And, for
all that is known to the contrary, did so in
terfere, for a woman has since confessed cn
her death-b and to having commited the
crime, and the unfortunate man has conse
quently been released from jail and nre
lented by the British government with $25,-
000 and a farm in South Africa, tbe only
condition of his release being that be
changed his name and nover disclosed his
identity.
Mrs. Morton (angrily)—“Tommy Horton
what made you hit my little Jimmy?”
Tommy Horton —"He struck me wid a
brick.” Mrs. Morton (more angrily)—
“Well, never let me hear of your hitting
him again. If he hits you, you come and
tell me.” Tommy Horton (sneerlngly)
“Yes, aud what would you do?” Mrs Mor
ton —“Why, I'd whip him!” Tommy Hor
ton (in dugust)—"What! he hits me wid a
brick, and you have the fun of liokin’ him
for it? Not much!” — Fuck.
