Lord Kelvin Is OF the opinion that

bearing whatever upon climates, con-
tending that the intense heat known
to have once existed at the surface of
the earth was due to q much higher tenn

be Of the temperature Of white hot

The remarkable statement is made,

to drive the machinery in such an es-

able to the extent of fifteen or twenty

died in a very few minutes. The
whole surface of the ocean in the i'm
mediate vicinity was churned to foam
by the flashing of the long tails, while
here and there q reddish tinge in the
water showed where the combat waxed
fiercest. No sooner was an alligator
killed than the sharks turned upon his
carcass, tore it topieces, and devoured
it voraciously. This done, the increas-
ing ebullition in another place indi-
Gated that the war vas beginning with
renewed vigor to decide this local SUI
premacy of the sea. Only a few sharks
were killed. although many must have
been badly torn by the huge jaws of
the alligators. One of the alligators
thrown on the beach still had a piece
of sharks fin clenched in his teeth.
For half the day we watched the
battle until at last the level of the
lake went down. the volume of water
coming through the ~revasse de-
creased, and no more alligators were
seen. The foam on the surface of the
ocean became less and less. until at
last only the occasional swirl of q
sharks tail showed where some of the
alligators still struggled, or where the
huge fish were fighting among them
selves over the d~isintegrated -csrcasses.
Finally, nothing disturbed the CLASSY
surface of the ocean as it rose and fell
but the clippings of some of the shore

there. which had been neglected by

Dredeeboat Sunk,

PORT EADs, La., April 2.-The tug B. D. Wood has been out in West bay for the past 10 days trying to pull a 3-masted schooner over the reef back of Buras, La., which was driven in there during the storm of Oct. l. In towing the dredgeboat from West bay to Port Eads the latter was lost off Southwest Pass bar. The dredgeboat went to pieces before she could be lowed into shallow water. She sank in 20 fathoms of water and will prove a total loss. The crew were all saved by the tug just ln time. as she went to pieces very quickly. A heavy sea caused the loss. The B. D. Wood took on coal here and left again for West bay to endeavor to get the schooner over the reef, They have yet to haul her about 150 feet before reaching deep water. The schooner's draft is now six and one-half inches, with four feet of water on the sand bar at moderate high water. They expect to float her in a few days. but the loss of the dredge- boat has made them very Respondent. The dretigeboat was valued at from $S000 to 5000.

The Brewery Strikes.

LONDON, April 2.--In an interview the secretary of the English syndicate of St. Louis breweries said he did not think the threat of the Brewers union and the Knights of Labor to boycott the breweries would have any serious results. The union, he said, had called its men out on strike, and many of those employed had come back with tears in their eyes and explained that they did not want to go out, but were compelled to obey the orders of the ex- ecutive officers of the Brewers union. Since the breweries had employed free labor in preference to union labor the union had become greatly em mbittered against them, but the union had not been able nor would it ever be able to coerce the managers of the breweries into treating with them. "The free laborers are well paid and perfectly satisfied" he said. I've do not expect any trouble with our workmen or our customers, and have no fear of threats

A RIVER MONSTER.
The Biggest Shipment of Coal Ever on
 the Mississippi River.

NEW ORLEANS, Apri l2-The larg- est tow that ever moved on the Ohio or Mississippi rivers is now on its way to New Orleans. It consists of 40 boats and barges moved along by the Joseph B. Williams, the largest and most pow erful towboat in this country. The en- tire 45 vessels are filled with coal, and the total amount of the material car ried IS ], ,034, 900 bushels, or 39, 230 tons. It would require 1920 ordinary 2o-ton freight cars to carry the amount. Com putting the average train of cars at 20, it would require 96 trains to carry the load which the staunch Joe B. is push ing down the river unaided and alone. The entire amount is for Louisiana con- sumption.
 All of the coal and coke carried by the monster was mined in different parts of Pennsyl sdnia, brought to. gether at Pi tsburg and sent down i'll numerous small tows to Louisville, where it was gathered together for the unprecedented enterprise undertaken by the owners of the Joseph B. Will Hams.
 The Williams and her army of boats and barges left Louisville on the morn ing of March 13 This was an unlucky date to leave on, but the hardy crew of the Williams had little regard for su- perstition and have thus far met not single untoward occurrence.
 The Joseph B. Williams is power full sternwheel towboat Her length is 210 feet and her width 40 feet. She was built at Pttsburg in ,s76 and has net tonnage of S01 91 She has carried many big tows up and down several rivers but nothing like this, which is the climax of brilliant owboating career. The Williams is owned by c. Jutte 6 Go. and Munhall Bros. of Pitts burg. George W. Theis, representing the owners of the Williams. is in the city in advance of the great tow.
