did you ever hear of 'gatored
mule?" asked William g. Thompson, of
New York, who was on his way home,
after a year spent in Florida FOR his
health.
"a 'gatored MULE as he is called in
Florida. is one of that stubborn race
which has been driven partially Insane
from an alligator fright. In fact. while

helped to gator one myself. How did
it happen?
"Well, had been staying at Ocala
some weeks, and finally agreed with
several friends to go hunting in the
South. About twenty miles from town
we located upon small stream abound

calling my companions, decided to
capture him. We rammed a long pole
into the barrow several times. Finally
we heard snap like the report of
gun, and the pole remained fast. The
gator had seized it. We tried vainly to
pull him out. Then some one suggested
that we use our camp mule. We
shouted. The mule was led down to
the hole, chain fastened to the pole,
and then the frightened animal was
started.
There was creaking of chains,
roar, and the alligator, fully seven feet
in length, came out with rush, as the
mule started on Wild run for the road.
The Saurian's teeth were sunken so
deeply into the wood that he could not
release himself. and away went mule,
pole and all. The alligator spun around,
Kissing like steam engine, but he held
on, while the mule, thinking himself
pursued, snorted and ran. We followed.
Into the main streets OF Ocala flew the
NUKE and his queer load. Completely
exhausted, he was stopped by party In
front of the postoffice. The gator was
dead. We skinned and stuffed him.
The mule recovered. but the sight of a
swamp now throws him into perfect
frenzy of terror.

FIRST USE OF COAL.
Wood and Charcoal Were the
Fuels Which Preceded 1t.

Contemporary Review.
Though coal had been employed for
centuries in the manufacture of salt on
the shores of the coal fields. wood had
hitherto continued to be the fuel at the
inland salt works. The use of coal at
Nantwich is mentioned as a novelty in
1856. Drowich wood fuel and leaden
pans were in use up till 1891. In this
era the sea salt manufacture was i'll the
zenith of its prosperity.
But the substitution Of coal for wood
in the inland salt trade, aided by the
discovery of rock salt. which took place
accidentally in the boring for coal Ill
Cheshire in 1910, led to the gradual de-
cline and final extinction of the manu-
facture of salt OH the coast. The only
trace now remaining of this once -four
ishing industry exist in such names as
Howdon Pans Oh the Tyne, Preston
pans Oh the Forth, Saltcoats in Ayrshire
and Saitpans in Arran and Kintyre. or
in the Scottish proverb, Garry salt to
DySart." synonymous with the English
Garry coal to Newcastle"
In no branch of the industry was the
scarcity of wood more keenly felt than
in the smelling of the metallferous
ores. Continued efforts to accomplish
this with coal began Immediately after
the accession of James l., and were per-
severed in throughout the seventeenth
century. But for long period the new
fuel proved very intractable. and
scheme after scheme ended i'll failure
and disappointment.
After eighty years of oft-repeated
trials the tantalizing problem renamed
unsolved Wood and charcoal still held
~. E.,l1 Il oil I,Nf
all hope of ever seeing coal substituted
for them had well nigh died out. In
1856 Sir John Pettus, i'll his Essays on
Words Metallick," concludes his OBJ
servations regarding sea coal and pit
coal with the remark: "TheSe are not
useful to metals"
The unpromjsing aspect, however.
soon began to brighten. Immediately
after the revival of lead and copper
mining, which took place about 1892.
these ores came to be smelted with coal.
The extraction of silver from lead with
coal was accomplished by MIR. Lydal
in 1897. and the same individual appears
to have been the first to successfully
employ coal III the smelling OF tin IN
1705.
The ores of iron proved more refract-
DRY, no substantial and permanent sue
cess in smelling them with coal being
obtained till near the middle of the
eighteenth century, when the manu-
tacture of charcoal iron had dWindled
to very small proportions; in fact, was
dying out for want of fuel.
1t then at length became an accom-
pllshed fact at Coalbrookdale Iron
works in Shropshire. The success was
at first ascribed to the Shropshire coal,
but probably the employment of a
strong blast mad great deal TO do with
it. From this the coal became the life
of the iron manufacture.

In keeping with the reductions in
coast rates announced couple OF days
ago by the Great Northern, new
through rate was announced Yesterday
to San Francisco. the first-clasS passen-

complications in passenger rates. The
new rates include all of the accommo-

and barber shop, being the same serv-
ice as is given by the Pennsylvania

TOUCHED A FARMER.
Charles EWen, of LiChfield, Re-
Iieved by Sneaks.

When Charles Ewell, of near Monte
vldeo, stopped yesterday morning to
view the circus parade at the corner of
Third street south and NicoIlet avenue,
there was silver watch attached to the
chain which he wore at his vest. After
the elephants and caliope had gone by
his chain was dangling and the watch
was gone The farmer al once retraced
his steps to where he last knew that the
chain did not bangle, looking carefully
along the walk for the time piece, but
in vain. When some of the bystanders
noted the search and were told that a
watch was lost they suggested that Mr..
Ewell'S idea that the watch had become
detached in the crowd was an erroneous
conclusion, ana convinced the farmer
that the watch, had been picked off
from his chain by some light-fngered
chap. Mr.. EweI finally concluded that
it was not worth much, anyhow. with
which philosophical view of the situa-
tion he sauntered towards the large
tent
