According to the mail news from the
west coast of Africa, 1t is reported
from the Kittam Boom river that a
Human Alligator" society infests its
banks. Fishermen and boatmen have
been enticed from their canoes by the
members of the society, who. after
numbering them and stealing their be-
longings. Toasted on their bodies. One
man who was enticed onto the river
bank, when fallen on by the human
alligators," killed one Of his assailants
end wounded two others, but was him
self eventually killed and eaten, ex-
cepting one of his legs, which WAS
found in the river and identified by
some marks upon it. So common were
the outrages becoming in the district
that the attention of the authorities
was being drawn to the matter.

Plants which Give Light.

There are a number of plants and
flowers which give out phosphores-
cent light in the dark. Linnaeus first
noticed this phenomenon in the COM
mon nasturtium, whose flowers seemed
to him to have a faint iridescence at
night. Later observations by others
showed that the light was stronger aft
er very sunny days. Among other
plants which possess this singular
property are the marsh lily and the
fraXinella. The last named secretes a
volatile oil which oozes out during hot
weather, spreads in a thin layer over
the flowers, and forms a vapor which
becomes luminous in the darkness. In
the coal mines near Dresden grows
species of fungus which exhibits the
appearance Of luminous festoons of
shifting colors.'

CURIOSITY OF MONKEYS.
One Who Was Inquisitive in Regard to
Home Brewed Ale,

Curiosity seems to be the great fail
ure, or virtue, of monkeys. A story l.,
told of an Englishman who had a
South African monkey which had
travelled with him around the world.
When his bachelor days were over he
took his young wife to lovely old
manor house in the south of England,
and, Englishmanlike, kept several bar
rels of good "home-brewed" ale in the
cellar. On returning from church IN
Sunday morning he noticed that the
cellar door was open, and started on =
tour Of investigation. AS he went down
the steps Jenny, the monkey, rushed
up, and he found that she had set all
the spigOts running. The door had
been inadvertently left open. and Jen-
ny, doubtless, went prying into the
semi-lighted place. Turning one spigo-
on produced such rushing stream
that she tried the others also, much to
the waste of the liquor 1t may re
added that when the Englishman s
first-born appeared and monopolized
attention, Jenny got such a fit of jeal-
Ousy that she was at once sent to me
secluded but more congenial society 10

ANGEL OF THE STEERACE."
Name Given TO the Daughter OF q Rich
Amsterdam Furrfer.

Amsterdam Furrfer.
On her latest trip from Amsterdam
TO New York the ocean liner Werken-
dam had for a steerage passenger a
young woman whose air. manner and
speech clearly showed that she would
nave been entirely at home among the
saloon passengers. This was Miss
Marie Lowenthal, and she travelled
among the poor with the sole object
OF having a greater opportunity to
cheer and help them during the voyage
across the Atlantic. On the trip she
earned the title queen of the steer
age, and as she stepped ashore she
was followed by hearty exclamations
Oh God bless you" Hers was a con-
splcuous figure as she stood among
the crowd of steerage passengers, most
OF whom had the round contented faces
which one associates with Dutch peo-
pie. Young and beautiful. she wore
costly furs over a gown of silk. She
comes to this country ON business for
her father, who is one of the richest
curriers' in Amsterdam. His confidence
IN his daughters business judgment is
Shown by the fact that he trusts to her
care the conclusion of a heavy deal
IN which she is interested. Though a
steerage passenger, she dressed in
style showing that her modiste is
thoroughly up to date Captain De
Vries gaZed admiringly after Miss Low
enthal as she calmly walked ashore,
unmindful of the astonishment caused
by her appearance among the poor i'm
migrants. 'She is the angel of the
Steerage," he said. "Of course, she
does not have to travel that way. but
she prefers to do it, partly because she
wished TO save money, and partly to be
among the poorer folk, whom it is her
delight to serve. Stingy? Not bit
of it. Miss Marie Lowenthal is one
OF the most generous women alive. 1t
is her delight to give to others. to
relieve distress She has a large al
lowance, but spends most of it in
helping the poor. She spends her life
among them and is looked upon as
sort of guardian angel by the poor of
her native city. One of her fads is to
travel as cheaply as possible in order
to save money for philantbropic work.
That is why she has come over in the
Storage. She has crossed the ocean
several times that way, and if you
could see all she does for the poor,
frightened emigrants you would not
wonder that they call her the angel
of the steerage"

Tallest of All Trees.

In New South Wales, Victoria and
Tasmania grows a species Of gum tree
eucalyptus amygdalina is its scien-
tific name-which Sir F. Won Mueller
says probably represents "the tallest
of all trees of the globe" The Hottest
specimen of this tree yet measured
towers to the height OF All feet. A
PROSTATE tree, measured in Victoria,
was 42O feet long, and the distance
from the roots to the lowest branch
was 295 feet. At that point the trunk
was 4 feet in diameter. and 800 feet
from the butt the diameter was still
3 feet. The wood of this tree is hard
and of good quality; it grows quick
ly, and yields a great quantity of VIOLA
tile oil from its leaves, which are very
abundant.

THEIRS FOR 500 YEARS.
Farm in Norway Which Has Been Owned
by One Family Since 1881.

rarm In norway which Has Been Ow ned
by One Family Since 1881.
The Freeman Of Webster City, Iowa
says: Last Saturday morning J. E.
Sogard received remarkably interest
ing document from Christiania, Nor
way, and one which he prizes very
highly. 1t came from the government
museum at Christiania, and is an exact
copy of two deeds of very ancient date,
the original deeds having been pre-
served and placed on exhibition in the
museum. The deeds are for a certain
farm which the Sogard family has pos
sessed for centuries and upon which
ster City and John of Iowa City-were
born. The first deed is dated July 1,
1881, or more than 500 years ago. A
better realization of the age of this
that the Sogard family was in posses
sion of the farm more than 100 years
before Columbus discovered America,
and it is probable that their ownership
dates much farther back than is shown
by this deed. The later instrument
was executed in 1913, nearly seventy
five years before the landing of the pill
grim fathers at Plymouth" A gentle
man from a neighboring town tells
the Troy Times that he has seen the
ancient document alluded to. but was
unable to read it, as it is written in the
Norwegian language. He adds that
the property is in the town of Oalen.
near the town of Hamar, and that the
largest city near the place is Chris
tiania, and that the document states it
is given in the reign of King Hakon,
by the grace of God king of Norway
and Sweden.
