1, 750 of bolts
The total tonnage of vessels lost,
under all flags, in 1881, was ], ,25O, 600,
or, according to the iron trade report,
more than the whole steamship tonnage

The plantation of F. A. Luling,
about four miles below Hahnville, La,
has been sold for S1O4, 600. The pur-
chaser is Mr.. Viterbo, a learned chem
ist of Paris, who intends to make this a
grand central place for the grinding of
cane. The owner is said to be backed
by large means.
The shipment of strawberries from
Long Island to Boston this season was
light when compared with former
years. The total shipments were $780,
$50 quarts, which sold for an average
of ten cents per quart, or over 1888, 000

American CrocodIIes.

Recent Investigations have shown
that the crocodile is to be found i'm tho
less-frequented parts Of Florida, where
it has long been confounded with the
alligator, and single specimen is now
among the collection Of reptiles at the
Smithsonian Institution The great
point Of difference between crocOdilea
and alligators is that the former live in
saltwater bayous or creeks near the
sea, while the latter are 10 be found on
ly in the fresh-water streams. Ths
crocodile, cayman, gavia and alligator
are all types of one group, the CrOco-
dilia. In these reptiles The heart re-
sembles that Of birds more than that Of
any cold-blooded animals. The Yentri-
Gle is completely divided by septum
into two chambers; the venous and ar
terial blood join outside of the heart,
and the brain is bird-like, The muzzle
of the alligator is in a straight line, but
that of the crocodile is much narrower
behind the nostrils There are also
other anatomical differences. The croc-
odile is known among the Indians as the
''lOng-nOsed alligator" The Florida
crocodile is the crOcOdilus acutns Of Gu
vier, and IS entirely identical with thD
Jamaica species, but entirely different
from the cayman of Guiana, South
America. One Of the most interesting
characteristics Of the American croco-
die is the care that IL takes Of it's Off
spring. During the breeding season
especially the reptiles utter loud cries or
shricks that have been compared % the
yelping Of hounds or puppies.
After the eggs have been buried by
the female she frequently visits the nest.
and when the young are about TO come
out she has been seen TO move about the
nest in clumsy tenderness, scratching
the shells and uttering q curious bark
like sound that seems TO excite the half
hatched young TO renewed exertions 10
extricate themselves from the broken
eggs. This accomplished, the mother
leads her young from the river o tho
marshy pools, safe from predatory visits
of the male. If hunted at this time the
female crocodile exhibits the utmost fe-
rocity, and shows great cunning IN
guiding her young to places Of safety.
The young are fed by the mother, as are
many Of the young sea birds, by masti-
Gated food, disgorged for the purpose.
The movements Of the crocodile on land,
when I'm danger, are totally different
from those OF the alligator. whose clum-
sy gait is 50 well known. The CrocO-
dfles stand with their bodies of the
ground, erect upon their legs ana mako
their attacks by successive jumps. The
American crocodile is not 50 savage ~
those of the Old World, yet numbers Of
instances are known where their at
tacks have resulted In the loss OF life --.

Alcohol from Aeorns.

1t is said that alcohol equal 10 that
made from grain can be produced from
aeorns. The acorns are freed from the
shell and ground finely; then they are
mashed with malt, and allowed TO fer
ment. Acorns contain about twenty
per cent. of starch and eight per cent.
Of gluten. They would be valuable
article for human food if il were not
for the tannic acid (about three per
cent which they contain. Vast guam
titles which 90 to waste every year,
where hogs are not fed in the woods
might be gathered by boys, and con-
verted into alcohol for use in the arts,
thus freeing an equivalent amount Of
grain for use as food Or some young
student of practical chemistry might
make good thing for himself and for
the world by deyising an economical
process of separating the starch, gluten
and tannic acid, the last for technical
uses and the others for food. Scientific
