sinEular Experience Of Cephas Gidblo. :
Speaking of alligators," said Mr..
Billtops, my friend, Cephas Gidblo,
the artist who has iust.returned from
Florida, had q singular experience with
one there last winter. He had, long
sought an opportunity to paint an alli-
gator from life, and he was SO fortunate
one day as to find one asleep on the
bank of q river. He set up his easel
and began, to paint. Mr.. Gidblo is q
rapid painter, and he made quick work
with the picture, but just as he was
painting in the last scales of the rep
tiles tail the alligator woke up, and,
suddenly throwing up his upper jaw
and sort: OF hitching forward at the
same time, he swallowed the picture,
easel and all, and he came very near
getting Mr.. Gidblo, too, at the same
bite. As my friend laughingly remarks,
Sat is probably the only, alligator in
Florida that is going around with a
picture Of himself inside Of HMM

i'm perceptible degrees, and can be stopped,
or changed at any desired point.
These whistles can be heard at great dis
tance, often being audible when the vessel
blowing them Is below the horizon. This is
one point which gives them their value over
an ordinary steam whistle, aud another Is
their peculiar sound, which makes it impos.
sble to mistake them for anything else. II
the ill-fated Alva had used the siren which
she carried, she would probably have been
aioat now instead Of being strewn about the
bottom OF Vineyard Sound.
The objection to them is that 1t is almost
impossible to tell whether or not they are
near at hand, and their exact direction. 1t
is this peculiarity that gives rise to so many
diverse conjectures among suburban resi-
dents, some thinking the sound low and
close at hand, while others consider It loud
sound at q great distance. 1t is certainly a
strange sound, being not unlike the howling
Of the wind about the house in winter, but
much clearer and smoother. OzSoLA.

The New York Herald thinks that
the danger of contracting disease from
microbe- laden bank notes is very much
underestimated in this country. 1t
suggests that, as most people who aru
taken with contagious diseases are not
able to tell how they are contracted; !;
perhaps in many cases the malady has
been contracted by handling microbe-
laden currency. 1t may be so, com
ments the New Orleans Picayune, but
SO long rs this same currency Is legal
tender, and one cannot refuse it with
out forfeiting his claim to payment,
what is poor fellow to do? 1t is a
case of neck or nothing.

THE action OF the Minnesota LegIs-
lature has frightened the anthracite
coal trust out OF its senses No firm
or corporation in sane condition
would gravely threaten a great com.
monweath with deprivation OF a
necessity Of life in which such firm
or corporation traded. Edmund
Burke said: You can not frame an
Indictment against nation" so
neither can you proclaim boycott
against State; the undertaking is
too vast. There is, for example, such
a weapon against monopoly as the
doctrine Of eminent domain. In case
of emergency, such, fer instance, as
the refusal Of a great monopOlistic
association OF coal owners to sell coal
on reasonable terms, State govern.
ment or national government may
seize their mines and operate them
for the benefit of the people, paying
to the owners Of them reasonable
compensation, and no more than that.
We are OF those who would be sorry
were the government compelled by
circumstances to resort to this eX.
trcme measure, but of its power and
right to resort TO il there is no doubt.
There is, however, very little cause
to apprehend the necessity OF such
governmental action. Strong State
laws, supplemented by Federal law,
can keep the greatest trust in check.
The threat Of the Pennsylvania coal
barons against the State OF Minnesota
is but insolent and idle vapor. When
the States Attorney for Cook County
set the laws OF Illinois in force
against the anthracite monopoly, its
members proclaimed that they cared
nothing about the trade Of Illinois,
that it was nothing but drop in the
bucket of their commercial trans
actions, and that they were quite
willing to withdaw from the State,
But they did not withdraw-nether
did they advance the price of coal, as
they were preparing to do when the
States Attorney made war upon
them. The State of Minnesota S
cause is the cause of all the Western
States; the same vigor that there Is
being displayed against the trust
should be displayed in each of them;
we then should see whether any coal
baron would dare to proclaim boy
colt against half of the Republic. The
end of the trust system Is at hand.
The people will not much longer
tolerate its existence. Abundant
means for its suppression is within
reach of the administrations of the
nation and of each of its component
States. Minnesota is using one OF
such means with considerable vigor.
! and with considerable skill also.

Says the New York Press: The OBJ
stacle to the general substitution of
aluminium for iron and steel in the arts
has been the high cost of extracting 1T
from the native clay. This has been
partially overcome by progressive i'm
provements in the process of manufac-
ture, but still aluminium remains too
costly to be thought of as substitute
for the baser metals, notwithstanding
its advantages in other respects. The
reported discovery of extraordinarily
rich deposits of aluminium clay in Ala
bama and Georgia indicates long step
forward for the white metal. Six coun-
ties in these two States are said to be
underlaid with bauxite ore, some OF
which has yielded as high as forty eight
per cent. of pure aluminium. If the
reports from these counties are reliable
the aluminium age is approaching.

The New Orleans Picayune maintains
that American cotton mills. and more
particularly Southern mills, having the
supply of raw material close at hand,
and being equipped with the most per-
feet machinery, should be able to nm
dersell Lancashire in oil the worlds
markets. We can raise cheaper cotton
than any other cotton-producing coun-
try, and, with the looms and spindles
located in close proximity to the cotton
fields, we ought to be able to furnish
the world with cheaper cotton than any
other country. 1t is, therefore, very
evident that the near future must wit
ness a wonderful development of our
cotton goods exports.
