Alligators for the Blear Charles.
Alligators are very useful beasts and
▼ary industrious in their efforts topurify
the streams which they inhabit. They
dispose of a great deal of filth in rivers.
The suggestion that several dozen, or
even several hundred, live alligators be
imported for residence in the Charles
river is timely and fascinating, They
would of course need salt water instruc
tion such as other graduates of fresh
water schools get at Harvard. An alli
gator colony on our shores would lend
to Boston a certain tropical environment
which our critics consider that we lack.
The alligators conld frolio picturesquely
in front of the Embankment for the en
tertainment of the poor; they conld sport
gayly in andontnndor the new bridge
and they could pull up in a shoal before
the Harvard boat house and teach the
crews how to yawn when they are really
tired—say after a race with Yale.
If they did not survive the rigors of
our winter their skins would be eagerly
bought up in Lynn and a new lot of
summer boarders of their class imported
for the Charles next summer. Tho con
dition of that river is no joking matter.
We might-as well all die in alligators'
jaws os in the jaws of this terrible nul-
nnce of foul odors and pestilence breed
ing flats. There’s a great deal of work to
be done by Boston and Cambridge, and
prompt work, too, in this matter of
;he river's improvement.—Boston Tran
script. ‘
Thrown Down OOO root from Bis Saddle.
Alexander McLeod, a well known citi
zen of Custer connty, left Salmon (Sty
for the mountains, following the Lees-
burg trail., He rode a horse. and led a
pack mnle. Something frightened .the
aniinuls, and they ran away, McLeod
could not stop the maddened brutes, and
they careened along the dangerous trail
at u tremendous pace. Coming to an
abrupt turn in the trail, McLeod's horse
stopped so suddenly that he was pltohed
ont of his saddle and over the brink of
a precipice 900 feet high. His body
was crushed as flat os a board and every
bone was broken. Tom Finnigan and
Harry Norfolk, the men who found the
disfigured corpse, built a signal fire,
which is the mountain people's method
of communication, and men went from
Salmon City and secured the body.—

Now Count Light*#
Additional tests mode with the new
form of coast light devised by Schirm,
of Berlin, bavo proved quito satisfac
tory. The trials, which were luado on
the coast near the mouth of tho Elite,
show the light to be brightor than cither
gas or cloctricity. while the cost of oper
ating 1b said to bo vory small. The ap
paratus, with all its accessories, is barely
seven feet in lioight and throe feet in di
ameter, and consists of a blast ongine
fer driving air through pumice stone
impregnated with benzine, Tho boiizlno
gas thus obtained is carried through fine
magnesium powder, and being saturated
therewith proceods upward through a
pipo and is consumod in a small flame,
yiolding a light, it is claimed, of 400,090
uitidlo power. The apparatus iB con
trolled by clockwork, and is inclosed in
glass to protect it from the wind and
weather. Tho arrangement is especially
adapted for giving an intermittent light,
tho consumption of magnesium being
small, depending on the power of tho
light which may be required in any
given enso. An important advantage is
also claimed q>y this apparatus, namely,
that it can 1x3 used without oondensors,
fog arrangements or reflectors, although
the use of lenses further strengthens the
power of tho light.—Berlin Letter.
Paper# In Foreign Languages.
. An article in a recent number of The
National Journalist states that 1,116
newspapers are printed in foreign lan
guages in this country. The Gormans
head tho list with 802, and next come the
Scandinavians with 118, followed by the
French, who have DO: there are 89 in
Spanish, 27 in Bohemian, 18 in Polish, 10
in Dutch, 23 in Hebrew and S in Welsh:
two each in Finnish, Icelandic, Irish,
Swiss, Portuguese, Slavonic, Chinese,
Lithuanian, Russian and Armeniun; one
each in Hungarian, Greek, Cherokee
and Creek. No better illustration than
thiB polyglot array conld bo given of the
varied elements which help to make up
this nation. It also arguos a high aver
age standard of intelligence in oar for
eign population.—New York Mail and

Lifting a Hallway Station.
Tho joint railway companies have suc
cessfully completed a remarkable un
dertaking at Frodshnra station, Cheshire.
Complaints have been made for years
of inadoquato platform accommodatic..,
and finally it was decided to remove the
station master's house, booking offices
and general waiting room some six feet
back. In order to accomplish the task
without taking down tho structures, ox-
cavulions wore made betwoon thorn un
til they wore supported on large baulks
of timber. Then came tho crucial point,
whether they would slide into their now
situation. Eleven powerful jacks were
brought into operation, under the super
intendence of Mr. Johnson, the com'
pany's engineer. Although the mass to
be moved weighed quite 400 tons, the
work was accomplished without hitch,
save thut a chimney stack, which
cracked, had to bo taken down. This is
stated to be tho first occasion on which
an English railway Btntion has been suc
cessfully lifted on the American princi
ple.—London Letter.
Sarah Darnhardt's Herodlas Cloak,
Mme. Bernhardt is having some
mort wonderful creations fashioned
by French artists for her new char
acter, Herodins. The most remarka
ble of these is a cloak of huge dimen
sions, being quite twolve feet square,
of a sort of greenish blue silk em
broidered with strange oastem flow
ers of great size, glowing with bar-
bario tints of blue and green, salmon
and yellow, and blazing with jewels
in the heart of each flowor. The
cloak is lined with cloth of gold, fin
ished with heavy fringe half a yard
deep, and hung by a painted and
jowoled leather strap from onoshoul-
dor and ono hip.—Paris Letter.
He Found Out.
Goorge Mills, tho slxteen-ycar.old son
of Robert Mills, a coppersmith at
Bridgeford’s stove works,' wondered
whut a dynamite cartridge was Thurs
day afternoon at Eleventh and Monroo
ots, and now wonders where six of
l fingers are. It seems that bo found
lying iu the N. N. and M. V. yards
and began picking it with a pin. It ex
ploded and tore off six fingers, three off
each hand. His forehend was also
gashed considerably.-^Louisville Com
mercial.
“I bog your pardon,” said the
cheeky youth to the calm and austere
maiden in the Pullman, but I think

Tho maiden fixed a freezing store
upon him.
“I think not,” sho replied severely.
“I have been there several times, but
only to pass through."
Then ho passed on.—Detroit Free

1’lgs and Sows of Illali Degree.
Mr. Benjafield's celebrated herd of
mre bred Berkshire pigs at Motcombe,
lorsetshiro, has jUBt been dispersed.
This herd was established in 1867 with
purchases out of all the best stocks in
tho country, nnd upward of 700 prizes
have since been won by it. Very high
prices wore realized at tho Bale, all the
principal breeders being represented,
and several nniinnls wore purchased for
exportation to Franco nnd Gorinany.

for thirty-five guineas to Sir Humphrey
de Trailord. Bite hns won £120 in prizes

Wli.il Painters Mixed Tlicli-Own Colors.
In tho olden days artists were obliged
to mako tlioir own paints und mix their
own colors. This perhaps is one of tho
reasons why some of the puintings of
the Middle Ages are so brilliant today,
because the materials used were purer,
although quite crude. Of the artists of
Greece and Rome we know very little,
except what is told'of them in history or
tradition, for we have but few examples
of thoir works.—Harper’s Young People.
