A Steamboat Ateacked Oy Alli0a.


from the Pilatka, Florida, HERALD
A gentlem who has been stopping in
our midst for some time gives an account of
one Of the most terrible scenes over recorded
in the annals of this country. While steam.
ing up the placid waters OF the Ocklawl,a
river We Witnessed conflict which made
the hair stand on end, never to be forgotten.
After rounding Sackctt's point the stream
widcns and deepens, and the water at this
bend always looks troubled and black. Sud.
denly the steamer encountered a sea of alli.
gators. tloundering and splashing wafer in
every direction. Their believing shook the
foundation of the waters. The captain says
that he never heard or witnessed such scene
and never wished To again. Before the speed
Of the little steamer could be checked, they
found themselves In the midst Of these ter.
riblc monsters. The passengers cndcavored
to drive them away by shooting, and the
hands on board beat them will, hand spikes,
yet they seemed more determined to obstruct
the passage of the boat The situation every
moment became more critical, and the crew
and passengers more exhausted. and the de-
struction of the boat seemed inevitable. Al.
ready three col"rcl hands had been dcvourci
by these terrible monsters and several others
wounded. Several planks were torn from
the hull, and the steamer was with difficulty
kept from sinking. Just ut this period
source of relief came. A huge serpent ap-
peared. making his way from the lakes
the same. it is supposed, that WAS seen at
''Dcvi's Elbow" last fall. The a!lig.tors
soon disappeared, following the SEA devil,
or whatever you may call him, and such
fighting never was witnessed. A point be.
low the river suddenly narrows. soon became
blocked with dead alIiga,"rs, and the water
was rcd with blood. Ii is difficult to ac-
count for the number and sudden appear.
ancc of these animals. but the latest theory
may throw some light upon the subject. 1t
is believed by many that there is large sub.
tcrran'an passage Of water between the
headwatcrs Of the Ocklawa,a and the waters
Of the Okcehobee lake, and .la, these mon
stcrs have found their way here in great
numbers, and If not soon exterminaied, will
obstruct the navigation of the Ocklawaha.

The Territorial Pensitesseiaries,


By the following from the Caribou (Col)
Poss, II win be seen the Pcnitentiary of that
Territory is built on the same plan and has
the SAME defects - that of Montana:
''Our Penitontisry, constructed by tho
General Government at a cost of SO, 900, is
said to be very well so far as it goes. But
it was built at some distance from the busi-
ness center of Canon City, and no provision
was made for the residence of . keeper, or
for cook room. Neither IL there any wall
about the building. The iron gratings in
the windows may be according to specifica-
tiops, but they are poorly calculated, as de-
scr1bed by Mr.. Brown, our Sheriff, to stand
alone between an ingenious man and his
liberty. The rods are large enough, one
inch in diameter, but are six inches or more
apart, giving IN excellent opportunity to
hand in crow.bar and to use it. The plan
of the building is such that the cells are in
the centre, and open out upon wide alley
which extends to the walls of the building.
In one corner room has been partitioncd
off for the keeper. While the prisoners are
confined in the cells they are probably Sc
cure; but when let out into the alley for
exercise, nothing but 4 window and the
crate mentioned. stands between them and
liberty. A further appropriation for all tho
Territorial Penirentiaries is very much need
ed, to build > substantial wall aud erect 2
keepers house."

Why arc Mossstats Tops % Ootd

There is = story OF ! squirrel, which dis
contented will, the cold valley whore he had
his home. set out to reach mountain top.
where, thought he, the climate must be warm
and genial, since that spot Is - much nearer
the sun; the great source Of heat. Bnt on
reaching the long wished for height, be
found. that although the sun sAone with
clearer light, yet the cold was more intense
than in tho humble home he had left behind.
He was well nigh frozen todeath. and quick<
~ and wisely resolved 10 return to the val.
ley whence he came.
The process Of reasoning which led the
poor squirrel into such difficulty and danger
seems correct enough. The Only trouble
with II Is that, like great many fne>spun
theories, it does not agree with the facts in
the case. d. ;.a So ... -
How happens it, then, that the nearer we
60 to the sun, the source of heat, the colder
we find the air? It 10 because the sun, . avs
Of heat pass through transparent bodi;s,
like mir, soithoas heating them. Tie heat
Of the sun passes directly down through tht
air till it strikes the surface Of the earth,
which is warmed by it. The air becomes
warm only by contact with the warm earth,
and by the radiation of heat from the earth.
But why does not the mountain.top be-
come warm, and impart its heat to the sur
rounding air! The answer Is, that so great
is the body of cold air around 1t. in COM
parison with its own size, and 90 constantly
is the air around 1t changed by the strong
winds which blow there, that not enough
heat can be accumulated In the air to be.
come sensible
But why does not the air, which Is heated
by contact With the surface of theearth 1t
the level OF the sea, rise to the mountnin-
tops and warm them up, just the same as
the heated air in our room rises to the cell.
ing. and makes our heads warm while our
feet are colds 1t docs thus rise, indeed; !;
hut as It rises it expands, because it is not
30 closely pressed by the superintendent dir.
So by the time it reaches the top of Mount
Washington, what was single room full of
comfortable hot air has expanded to the size
Of whole house; and ~ it has received no
more heat in it's ascent, it has become very
uncop.fortably cold, The heat which was
sufficient u make it feel warm when it oc.
cupied small space becomes quite insensi.
