The burning Alligator Went Racing for
Water.
An alligator story which beats
the record comes from Early
county. Some negroes were at
work in a turpentine farm near
Damascus, cleaning the trash and
straw away from the boxes prepar-
atory to burning off the woods,
when they came across an alligator
who had crawlcd out during the
last warm spell to put OH his new
spring suit, but who was knocked
back into a state of dormancy by
the recent cold snap The old fell
low was lying there stiff, hard mo
tionless and crusty and the negroes
decided that they would make an
end of him by burning him up. So
they dipped turpentine out of the
boxes and covered him over ell
tirely with that inhammable sub
stance, then heaped pine straw on
top Of him, and then poured more
turpentinc on that
When the fire began to blaze his
alligatorship suddenly awoke from
dreams Of icebergs and hoar frosts
into what he supposed was the land
ofperennial summer, where the bad

Old Crusty decided that ever
though he was in hell he woult
split for a pond. He splitted, anC

rapid fight to the pond gave hin

A minute later (the trail Of fire

TRIUMPH FOR THE TORPEDO

The news of the sinking of the
Brazilian flagship Aquidaban reach
ed this country via Auckland in a
despatch which stated that she had
been assailed by one Of Peixoto' S
torpedo boats after her surrender
By the coast files lately at hand it
appears that this was not the case.
The Aquidaban, at the time, was
in hot fight with PeiXoto's fleet,
and had attacked it and its consorts
along with the rebel stronghold of
Desterro. During the battle the
Peixoto torpedo boat Gustavo Sam
paio, formerly the American steamer
Aurora, projected three whitehead
torpedoes at the Aquidaban, which
caused her total loss. Thereupon
the rebel forces surrendered.
Naval experts will wait with great
interest the details Of this engage
ment, as they promise to teach them
much that is new about the value
oftorpedoes in actual ocean warfare.
When the Blanco Encalada was
sunk two or three years ago, it APP
peared that she had been taken I'M
awares while at anchor and in pro-
cess Of repair. But it was assuredly
ferent with the Brazilian ironclad
which was probably in her best
fighting trim, with Ter torpedo nets
out and her rapid fire guns trained
and manned. To show that such a
vessel, one similar in type to the
new American battle ship Maine,
with an eleven inch belt of armor,
"a guns and five torpedo tubes and
with engines of 6, 200 indicated
horsepower, could not defend her
self against an extemporized torpe-
do craft like the Sampaio, would
be to disturb great many of the
complacent conclusions which the
maritime powers have long
been INDUCING in.
Perhaps - who knows? - the
whitehead torpedo will put the
modern battleship where the iron
clad Merrimac put the wooden frig-
ates Of 1862.
