Science teaches a physical impossible
ity when it says that heat and light as
such come direct to us from the sun,
for these two forces-i. e., heat and
light (Which are simply different mo-
dalities in the motion Of electric force,
or ether in motion) require q ponderable
medium for their transmission, radia-
ton allf, reflection to render them per.
ceptible to our senses. Could we, then,
be placed midway between the sun and
the earth we would be wrapped in
worse than Egyptian darkness and
subjected to degree Of cold beyond all
calculation. Then not only the sun,
but all the planets as well, would ap-
pear as balls Of fire. from which no ray
Of hgh5 OF heat could reach us through
the imponderable, motionless forceless,
rayless ether by which we would be
surrounded. From this I argue that
the heat and light possessed by the
planets must be generated within the
ponderable sphere Of each and is the nat
ura1 result of the friction of the suns
electricity passing through our atmos
phere and rendering both more intenss.

Few animals are more friendless than
the alligator With claims to neither
beauty nor intelligence, he is not hand
some enough to win our admiration nor
dangerous enough to make US respect
him. For hours he baslzs in the sun,
floating on the surface Of the water or
lying on some muddy bank, apparently
as useless as the log of wood he SO much
resembles. Every mans hand is raised
against him. He IS killed by the tourist
in pure wantopnoss, simply because he
affords q mark for the ever ready rifle
Hunters sloy alliSctors by thousands
for their hides I'D teeth. Indeed 1T is
fer these alone that the alligator is
Erized. [ think, however, the alligator
plays q part IL the drama of animal life
for which he is especially adapted 1t
is said that on the lower Mississippi
river alligators feed on muskrats, and
the recent decrease i'll the number Of al
igators has been followed by CORE
spending increase in the number OF
rluslzr2ts, which seriously weaken the
levcos BY b,-rrowing i'll them. If this
be truc, the alligator is here of direct
value to the planter and should there
fore be protected by law.-F'rank NJ.

n Circular Knitting Machine.

A circular Uniting machine Of ingen-
ious construction has been brought to
notice by q Philadelphia inventor. At
the completion of stocking the ma
chine IS stopped by the pattern cha~-n,
to allow q rib5od top to be run upon the
needles, the driving pclley being moved
into scar with the driving shaft, and the
leg is knit. Following this q lug on
the pattern chain starts the cam carry
ing wheel, whose cams control or @Ctu-
ate the mechanism for changing from
circular to back and forth knitting, for
throwing i'll the thickening thread and
for bringing into operation the fashion:
ing devices, and contrariwise for knit
ting the heel and then the foot, the toe
being then formed III the same manner
as the heel, whereupon the machine
stops, Tho mechanisrls actuated by the
pattern chain lug to stop tie machine
are ingcniously locked By q swinging
lever which is first engaged and swung
aside, wheroUpon devices adapted 50
stopping the apparatus are engaged and
moved by the lug The inclines of the
sinEers partly draw the thread in form
ing the stitch, enabling the inclination
of the stitch cams to be lessened. -Nep'

The poets CO the Celestial empire at
tribute the invention Of the fan to one
of their enlperors-Wu Wang-who
reigned IL centuries before the Chris
tian era The first fans werS made Of
bamboo only, but in time feathers and
silk were used with good effect, and old
writers pompously describe the imperial
chariots decorated with these emblems
of power on all state occasions. 1t was
only at the beginning Of our era, how
ever, that q Chinese fanmaker beat
plates Of gold until they were as thin
as locust wings and applied them on
both surfaces of screen fans, which he
further decorated with paintings Of
birds, beasts and fabulous monsters,
wherein he set glittering bits of mica
The folded fan, long unknown in China,
is said to have been imported from
Japan in the tenth century, when it be-
gan to replace screen fans New York

How PhiladeIDhia Kills EleDhantS

When, a few years ago, d Snowman in
Philadelphia desired to end the life Of a
vicious elephant in his company, he did
rot go about it in the bungling manner
adopted in New York to kill Tip He
took rope, made, as we remember it,
especially for the purpose, slipped it
around the brute's neck and then hitched
another elephant to each end of the rope
The free elephants were then driven in
opposite directions until the rope tight
ened about the victims throat, and he
fell forward and expired. It was all
over in about half an hour, but then. dis
the New Workers say, Philadelphia is a
slow old town.-Philadelph Enquirer.

SEA BASS IN SAN DIEGO BAY.
Huge Monsters Weighing From One Hun
dred to Six Hundred Pounds.

Chris Schmidt, q longshoreman,
caught three black sea bass recently,
weighing 221, 337 and 376 pounds re-
spectively After hooking his game he
tied the end of the line to powder key
and let the big fish run around in the
bay until exhausted. when he pulled it
in and killed it.
This land locked bay of San Diego
and the kelp bed at the harbor mouth
is favorite home for the black sea
bass, or Jewish, as it is commonly
called. Catching these fish is excellent
rport. They weigh from 100 to 600
pounds and in appearance are much
like the small mouthed black bass OF
eastern lakes. A long hand line the size
of q window sash cord, a large hook OF
quarter inch iron, baited with a white
fish, an ak and d rowboat are all the
tackle needed for this sport.
The baitcd hook is dropped to the
bottom i'll so feet or more Of water. 4
vigorous bite and the fish almost hooks
itself Then the fun begins. The long
line plays cut with the rapidly OF
whale line when the harpoon strikes
home. The Jewish tires more quickly
than the whale. The man in the bow
Of the rOWboat begins to take up the
slack line. This rouses the fish. Away
he darts again and stops. The slack is
pulled in again. The efforts of the fish
become less vigorous. The line is made
fast in the bow. The helmsman is
warned to look out The fish begins to
run away. The line tightens. This time
it does not play out The fish, feeling
the weight of the boat, strives hard to
get away from it.
Faster and faster goes the boat as
the captive fish lows it seaward until
the bow is pulled down almost beneath
the waves, and it is sometimes necessary
to put out the oars and attempt to re-
tard the dangerous progress. By degrees
tho fish gets tired coping with such
heavy odds and finally allows itself to
be drawn alongside the boat. A blow
on the head with an ak ends the fight.
