AlliaAToR AND Car T:a:i-. TaT
An Exciting Combat In Which Tabby
Comes OFF Victorious.

Comes or Victorious.
One of the most remarkable eombats
ever witnessed in this country occurred
on Holmes river, near Werner, Fla,
lately. In the battle cat and an alli-
gator fought for three hours with the
final result in favor of tabby.
A house cat was in the habit of going
to the river and feeding on mussels and
such fish as it could get, and it was mo-
ticed several times that when the cet
moved along the bank ripple in the
water showed that an alligator kept
pace with it in the water. The cat,
however, was aware of the afligator's
presence, but showed no signs of fear.
On the day mentioned the cat APP
preached too near the water in its eager
ness to get fish, and was suddenly
grasped by the hind leg by an alligator
about three feet long.
The cat made spring and got away,
but the leg was bitten badly and bled
freely. The taste of blood seemed to
put the alligator in a frenzy, for it came
out on the bank and tried to continue
the pursuit.
The cat turned on It's enemy and then
began one of the 6ercest fights seen in
a long time. The cat was so quick that
it was impossible for the alligator to get
bite at it, and the result was that the
saurian was soon endeavoring to beat a
retreat to the water.
But the cat now began an offensive
alta ,k and cut cf the way, nipping the
alligator in the throat and tender spots
under the arms, until the reptile was
bleeding and almost exhausted.
This fight continued for several hours,
and when at last the alligator gave up
it was bleeding from over one hundred
wounds. The cat was seemingly un-
hurt, except in the wounded leg, which
was injured before the fight began.
Watering the Desert.
The desert shall blossom like gar
den. If the civil engineer ROLAND is
right this prophecy is near fulf,nent.
ROLAND has submitted report to the
Academy of France upon waters found
under ground in the Sahara. His ex.
animation of the ground was confined
to the region about the oasis of Ell Ga
leah, and proved so rich supply of wa
ter that he believes the whole desert
can be converted into network Of fer
tile oases. He is at present engaged il
preparing chart and description o.
the region which will indicate the spot'
where an artesian boring is, in his esti
nation, certain to bring a voluminou:
jet Of water to the surface. Such ;
creation Of new wells the people inhab
iting the vast desert will look upon as
miracle, and they will be prepared tx
bow down before and acknowledge tn,
supremacy OF the workers of such mira
cles. In other words the execution o
the scheme of M. ROLAND will do NOR
to conquer the desert for France thai
any scientific or warlike expedition
ever could have done.

ABOUT THE RUBY.
There Are Three Kinds, But Only q
That Is True.

There Are Three, Kinds, But Only One
That Is True.
There are three kinds of rubies--the
oriental ruby, the spinel ruby and the
balas ruby. The first is the only true
one. The latter differ considerably in
composition from the first. The true
ruby is composed almost exclusively OF
alumina, says the jewelers. Review. In
the latter are only seven-tenths of
alnmina, the remainder being chiefly
magnesia. Their color, moreover, is
due partially to the oxide of chromium,
a substance of which the genuine ruby
has not o trace.
In commerce the balas ruby has much
inferior value to the spinel. This is
generally of vivid poppy red color;
the balas is of violet rose, although
Pegu has furnished white and white
violet spinels, and Sudermania even
bluish-gray ones. 1t can be seen at
once, therefore, how extremely err
roneous would be classification OF
gems by color or general appearance
alone. The primitive form Of the spinel
ruby is like that of the diamond, eight
sided, which distinguishes it at once
from the oriental stone
The color of the genuine ruby is thai
Of artcrial blood, or pigeons blood, al
it is called. 1t is extremely hard, and
after the sapphire, is the hardest of tn,
corundums, which renders it difficult t
understand why the earth so rarely
gives it up. Its tint is as beautiful BY
artificial light as by day, and its power
of refraotion SO great that ancient be
lief credited it with power of emitting
light. The ancients even supposed tina
it would shine through clothing witt
undiminished power.
The largest ruby known is one men
toned by Chardin as having been en-
graved with the name of Sheik Sephy
Another noble ruby is in the possession
of the shah of Persia. a It's weight is pu
at one hundred and seventy-five carats
A third, belonging to the king of Usa
par, was cut into hemispherical for1
and in 1858 was bought for thrice
thousand eight hundred and sixty-si
dollars. A ruby possessed by Gpstavu

An Appeal TO the Scholars to Ceiebrats

Columbus Day.
A message has been issued by the ex.
ecutive committee of the Columbian
Public School Celebration organization
to the scholars of all the public schools
of America, urging them to agitate and
participate in the general celebration of
the twelfth of October, the four hun
dredth anniversary of the discovery of
America, on which day the Columbian
exposition grounds at Chicago will be
dedicated. 1t is the purpose of this or
ganization to make the thing one grand
general celebration throughout the
land and measures are being adopted to
make the day a gala occasion among
the public schools of America. In ref
erence to the matter the message says:
'sThe public schools Of the republic
will form the most fitting Ncenters for all
these local celebrations. A national
public school observance simultaneous
with the Chicago exercises will awaken
a popular interest in the coming exposi-
ton. Tar more important is the fact
that the public school has the right to
occupy the most prominent place in the
celebration. The public school is the
one characteristic institution which
links all neighborhoods together, and
can thus furnish common bond for a
national celebration. The public school
is the ripe fruit of the four centuries OF
American civilization. The public
school of to-day sways the hundred
| years to come
"a programme of exercises will be
furnished by the executive committee
1t will be simple and adapted to any
school, yet so arranged that more elab
crate exercises may be added wherever
desired. The aim of this official pro
gramme will be that certain leading ex
ercises may be the same in every schoo
in the republic; and that at least in one
feature the Chicago programme and thu
school programme may be identical.
son October 10 the stars and stripe
should be floating from every school
house in the republic. 1t is the hope o
the friends of common school education
that not one public school in the Unite'
States will allow itself to be left out il
this most memorable celebration"
