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.— Idaho Cor.

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 Express. Lucky llaub.

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 I have seen you somewhere before.” 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 Press.

Here's another column to add to the Corbett.—Boston Courier remark 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. The famous sow Her Majesty was sold for thirty-five guineas to Sir Humphrey de Trailord. Bite hns won £120 in prizes in two years, nnd bus never been beat en.—Loudon Truth. 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.
