Even Corn IIusks Are Valuable.

The fatcs are combining to make
things pleasantcr for the Western far
mer, the latest discovery of value to him
being that the husks of corn will make
excellent paper. Hitherto husks have
not had any commercial value aud have
only been eaten by stock under protest
and during hard spells. Now, however,
the establishment of paper mills in tho
West should put stop to the constant
shipping Of paper from the East, and also
convert waste article into what manu-
facturels would calla "residuary profit, y
such as coke in II gas factory. 1t is not
many years since old rags were looked
upon as the only possible raw material
for the manufacture of paper, aud tine
course from cast-off shoddy to the COW
cring of corncobs has been both steady
and interesting. st. Louis Globe Demo.

An Alligator Story.

1t is not often that one hears of an al
ligator as pet; in fact none has ever
been heard of so tame that it could be
approached by human being without
running off or showing some disposition
to fight.
There is, however, an old man who
lives not dozen miles from Jackson
vile, on the st. Johns River, who has
what might be called an alligator farm.
He owns tract of about twelve or thir.
teen acres, aud in one part is low,
marshy place which in wet weather is
filed with water. A deep ditch connects
this with the river.
One spring day the owner of the farm
while walking near the swamp heard a
crashing sound in the marsh grass, aud
looking over to the centre saw large
alligator moving around. He stood still
aud watched the sauriau and discovered
that it was throwing up q mound of mud
and grass. After time, when the heap
had assumed shape not unlike that Of
hut such rs the Esquimaux are pictured
as living in, the alligator lay on top.
The farmer cane to the conclusion
THAT she was laying her eggs, and, not

ming herself op log. Each day he
visited the place aud carried food to the
old one in the Shape of fish and meat,
and as the time went on she got so tame
that ut certain hour she was on the
lookout for him and came crawling up to
bc feed.
One morning he was startled by loud
believing in the direction Of the swamp,
and, fastening over, found things in "a
high state Of excitement There, lying
in Il pool of water, was the mother, sur
rounded by numerous little alligators,
some of which climbed upon her back and
then slid off, seeming to enjoy the fun
immensely. At the sight of her friend o
bright light beaned in her eyes, aud,
after receiving few caresses, she started
of towards tho river followed by hel
young.
Every spring after that the owner OF
the place has watched for the old gator,
which has never failed to show up and
each year build n new mound and raise
her young.-Fioridi Times. Union.

Cleansing the Pipe Lines.

The cleansing of the pipe lines which
connect Philadelphia aud New York
with the oil regions, aud of which there
is strong probability that another will
be constructed between this city aud the
new field in Southwestern Pennsylvania
and West Virginia, is a very ingenious
matter. The crude petroleum, in pass
ing through the pipes, leaves a waxy de-
posit on the sides, which, if allowed 10 &C.
cumulate, would soon fill them aud chec'<
the flow of oil. To prevent this clever
spiral contrivauce OF knives is forced
through the pipes with the oil from the
pumping station, cutting out the wax
aud ctrcctually cleaning the pipe. There
are now about half dozen pipe lines be.
tween the oil fields aud tidcwatcr, and
they arc kept open in this way.-Phila

A Wonderful Gold Mine.

One Of the wonders of Australia, and
ono Of the greatest natural curiositics in
the world, is tho Mount Morgan gold
mine in Queensland. The precious metal
contained in this mine, whicl, has paid
dividcnt of not less than S6, 900, 900 in
year, was deposited by hot spring.
Mount Morgan is hill about 500 feet
high, containing at lis top cup shaped
deposit made by tho hot spring which
once gushcd out there, aud in this de-
post the gold exists. Truly cup of
CrDsus Through untold ages tho waters
dropped their glittering burden, and
now man comes and extracts the boarded
metal to add to tho wealth of the world.
Specimens of the orc from this strange
mine have recently been sent to the
United States, that they might bo COM
pared with the deposits of the grent hot
springs IN our own Yellowstone Park.
1t was but natural to suppose that the
Yellowstone springs had also golden
treasure in their cups, but the most care
lul search by geologists has thus far
iaiicd to detect any trace OF it.-,St.
