A QUEER DISTINCTION.
1t Is That of a Man Who Was Once Swt
lowed by an Alligator.

1t Is That of Man Who Was Once Swal-
lowed by an Alligator.
Edward Rowland enjoys the distinc-
tion of being the only person living who
was swallowed by an alligator. The
saurian swallows his prey whole and
digests it at leisure, and it is to this
characteristic that Rowland owes his
life
When boy, his parents owned win
ter home near Sanford, Fla, which is
near DInn's creek, where there are still
more alligators than can be found in
any place else in Florida.
At the time mentioned, it was liter
ally swarming with the huge reptiles,
and the largest ever killed were secured
here, one measuring over Is feet in
length.
Young Rowland had gone with his
parents tcFa point on the st. Johns riv-
er, near the mouth of Dunn's creek, and
had wandered away from them. Sud-
denly huge gator emerged from a
small lake and started toward creek,
coming Immediately past the place
where the boy was seated ON the bank,
kicking pebbles. The child started to
run, but stumbling fell head first i'm
mediately in front of the reptile, which
swallowed him at once.
Young Rowland s screams were heard,
and the parents reached the scene just
in time to see the disappearance of their
son down the huge throat of the sauri-
an. The father, never dreaming that
the boy was Dot killed, shot the alliga-
tor, the ball, fortunately, striking him
in the eye and penetrating the brain.
The feet Of the boy were protruding
from the mouth of the dead alligator,
and with the thought of only obtaining
his remains for burial the reptile was
cut open. There were signs of life, and
after several hours of hard work the IA
ther succeeded in resuscitating the boy,
the only serious injury being to his an
kles, which had been crushed by the
reptiles teeth when he was in the throes
of death.
Since that time Rowland has been a
cripple, but only to the extent of having
to wear steel braces on his ankles. -

WHY Bulls Hate n Red Flag.

In the first place, says an English writ
er, red is color to which cattle are un-
accustomed, so that they may naturally
be supposed to be startled by its very
novelty. Scientists show the sensation
of red to be the complement of that of
green, being induced by exactly opposite
affections Of the retina.
If the eyes of cattle are constructed
on similar principle to our own, the
continual contemplation of green, as in
trees and herbage, must produce state
of retinal fatigue, predisposing vio-
lent excitement of the retina immedi-
