MEEKIN'S ALLIoATORS.
He Made Them Work . Dynamo, Bue
Couldn't Stop Them.


My boy once had pet alligator that
was pretty fierce, observed Meekin, the
lazy inventor, according to the Chicago
Times. When he leased this young
saurian, the beast would skip out with
its powerful tail in an amazing fash
ion, without doing itself or anybody
else any good. 1t occurred to me that
here was a splendid example of wasted
energy, and set out to devise q means
of conserving it and turning it to some
useful purpose. l spent winter in
Florida, and after had experimental
with some of the small gators that are
supplied to tourists for consideration,
/ ordered some big fellows. After some
little trouble / secured ten gators,
each about four feet in length and of
about ten horsepower tail capacity.
My scheme was utilizing their tail
power-yes, it was a kind of tail
race" - was this: The gators were
placed side by side in stalls, which left
their tails free to wag. had upright
beams set like pendulums, the swing
ing ends of the beams coming close
enough to the gators to be in a good
position for action. Then / built
tank over the stalls and filed it with
laundering big cannon balls. There
was an inclined chute running from
the tank to power wheel made with
hollow places in the rim, something
like water wheel. In the chute l
had q valve to regulate the flow of
cannon balls. Half the gators were
used to work the cannon ball part Of
the machine, and the other half to
run conveyor continuance to lift the
balls back into the tank after they had
done their work in turning the wheel.
1 connected small dynamo by belt
to pulley wheel on the power-wheel
shaft. My main circuit ran from the
dynamo to o bank of incandescent
lamps, which were to be used in the
test. When everything was ready, the
wheels oiled up, main switch closed
and the gators pretty mad, hired four
little colored boys to go along In front
of the stalls and crack the gators on
the head with short clubs. This made
'em awful mad, and so they struck out
with their tails. Then the old shebang
commenced to run. A little coon would
hit gator on the head, he'd let out
with his tail, strike beam, open the
valve, let out a cannon ball, which
rolled down the chute and onto the
wheel, turning 1t around. Then the
ball rolled back to the conveyor and
was hoisted up by one Of the other
gators. She was humning beautifully;
but had forgotten one thing; that was
q governor. The little coons liked their
work, and lambasted the gators I'M
mercifully. 1 stopped them, but the
wild animals were beyond control.
They dashed around until the speed got
SO high that the armature of the dyna-
mo burned out with flash. The gators
running the conveyor got into race
with the other fellows and hoisted up
cannon balls SO fast that the tank got
overweighted and broke down. The
cannon balls fell on the gators heads
and killed every one of them. Fact.

THE GULF OF MEXICO.
Changes Taking Place In Its Water
Level.

LeVoL
According to the engineers of the
photographic bureau the level of the
Gulf of Mexico is one foot higher than
1t was in 1859, and, of course, the en-
croachment on the surrounding coasts
has been greater or less, pending oIR
their character. In some places, says
the St. Louis Republic, where the mar
ginal lands are composed Of high, rocky
bluffs, this change of level has gone on
from year to year without attracting
attention. On the other hand many
low-lying points (some that were once
inhabited by the primitive inhabitants,
or by the pioneer white. settlers) rare
entirely submerged. The cause of this
change of level has not as yet been
ascertained, but it is reasonably GER
tain that it is the result of either a set
Ting of the dry land or of a general
and uniform rising or upheaval in the
gulf bed. No man who has given the
matter moments thought will argue
that there is more water in the gulf
now than there was thirty-fve years
ago; on the contrary, there isn't the
least doubt but that there Is much less.
However this may be, If this aqueous
encroachment is steadily maintained,
Keoluk will, be deep-water harbor
and ST. Louis and the whole of Missouri
will be entirely submerged in less than
forty thousand years from January 1,
1905.

The PIecs the shah Liked.

The shah of Persia, when visiting
the late emperor of Germany, some
years ago, was taken to the opera, and
during the course of the performance
was asked how he liked the music lie
confessed that the majority of it was
pretty crude, but that one piece the
orchestra had just been playing was
simply superb. The emperor at once
gave orders for the repetition of the
piece mo-" said the shah, "that's not
it." Another one was played. NO.
returned the royal visitor, Its not
that, either" Presently the orchestra
began to tune their instruments.
That's it, cried the shah, enthusiast
tically. That's the piece was trying
to tell you about" So, for the edifca-
ton of this barbaric ruler, and to the
anguish of the rest Of the audience, the
orchestra tuned, and untuned, and re-
tuned their instruments in the most
heartrending fashion, and the shah
leaned back in his chair, while his face
wore look of unspeakable enjoyment.

from feet inches to feet inches.
The heavy family Is composed of IA
Their, mother and daughter, and their
united weight is 900 pounds. The
feather-wcight family is composed OF,
ten persons, father. mother and eight
children, the combined weight Of the
