camp IN the boat. The night was a very
me one, the moon shining brightly, when
toward midnight the sleeping camp was
aroused by some terrific shrieks These
were the cries Of poor Reed, who. envel-
oped in his bedding and mosquito curtains
was oeing borne off by a crocodile. 1t is
SAID by those who knew him well and ac-
companied him on this and other previous
trips that he had the habit of sleeping with
his foot on the gunwale of the boat and
no doubt this afforded the crocodile an
easier opportunity of seizing him. All that
night and great part of next day was
spent in searching for the missing mans
body, but without success.
The crocodile has a remarkable eve. II

lzontal position at will 10 suit its require

natural protection to the eve and

to make of him the terror he is

Northern crocodile lays its eggs IN Jan
uary or February. Neither parent does
any sitting. The eggs are deposited TO
the number OF forty or fifty near the ton
OF the mound, which looks just like an
ordinary haycock. The rain (and it rains
at this time Of the year every day) and
the not sun create a great heat in the
mound, which matches the eggs.

IRON KNEADED LIKE DOUGH.
Great Castings Squeezed Into shape
by Hydraulic Power.
From the Philadelphia Recora-

From the Philadelphia Record
One of the effects of the present war
has been to arouse public interest in the
great industrial establishments of the
country for the manufacture of armor and
metal castings used in ship and engine
building.
The Bethlehem Iron Company is one of
the largest and most progressive concerns
of this kind in the world. Its machinery
is of the most gigantic proportion, and the
work performed is on proportional scale.
Open hearth steel ingots are here east
weighing 10000 pounds and over. These
are lifted by the great travelling cranes
as readily as though they weighed but a
few pounds each, and they are squeezed
in the giant press into huge pancakes as
readily as though made of dough; with a
degree of accuracy that is simply amaz-
ing even to those who are familiar with
the work, and incomprehensible to others
A few years ago this company built
giant steam hammer 0he biggest in the
WORLD the falling part of which weighed
l25 tons. This was intended to forge all
the ingots into shape for shafts and other
purposes, but the increased size of the
forgings soon outstripped the capacity of
even this leviathan machine, and 1t became
necessary to construct much more pow
erful "squeezer." The new Ia, O0O-ton NV
draulic forging press has entirely super
seeded the 125-ton steam hammer. pump
ing engine of 5000 horse-po wer is requir-
ed to operate the pumps for moving the
pistons of this huge press when slowly
squeezing an immense ingot of steel. 1t
was found that the blows of the 125-ton
hammer merely compressed the metal near
the surface of the Ingot, and the central
portions remained spongy or porous in the
largest ingots. This was owing to the
suddenness of the blow, but under the
slow motion Of the hydraulic press time is
allowed for the molecules of the metal to
"iow,' and uniform texture Is produced
throughout the section of the forging
1t may not be incorrect to compare the
method of working a gigantic ingot Of red
hot steel to the bneading of a mass of
dough by the baker. All metals are plas-
tic under sufficient pressure, acting like
rubber or dough. and they may even be
made TO flow exactly like a fluid through
an orifce.
In order to get rid of the gases or air
bubbles that may be entraned or caught
in the ingot while pouring, the mold, when
filed with molten steel is placed under
an enormous 7,000-ton fluid compression
press and the metal Is subjected to squeez-
ing until 1t becomes perfectly solid.
An exceedingly interesting achievement
of these works is the nickel-steel coming
tower for the cruiser Brooklyn. It's in
side diameter is nearly 615 feet its outside
diamter is nearly 8 feet and its length is
nearly 10 feet it's weight when put on the
car was 1850 pounds.
Among the earlier successful attempts
to produce hollow forged steel shafts of
large size in the shaft for the great Ferris
wheel at the Chicago Exposition. This
shaft was As feet long, nearly feet out

USE OF A "wATER MONKEY"
Primitive Method of Cooling Drinks
Employed in Santiago.
From the New York Press


Our soldiers Of the North. accustomed in
their civilian days to drinking water cool
ed by ice, will have a new experience in
Cuba, and especially in and about San
tiago. The dispatches from that territory,
bullying with so many matters of great
Importance, could not be expected to speak
of the abandonment of the artificial ice
machines and the return to the primitive
condition of cooling water by the water
monkey"
Artificial ice was unknown in Cuba ten
years ago. It's introduction was opposed
by the older people on the ground that 1t
was unhealthful and unnecessary. For
four centuries they had drunk water cool
ed by a crude method of evaporation and
the bringing in of a new invention 10 re-
duce temperature below the freezing point
did not meet their approval. Now they
are back to the primitive method again,
because the war has paralyzed all COM
mercial industry in Santiago and the ice
making machines are at standstill.
The water monkey Is a jar of porous
clay baked in the sun and nodded into
the shape of a narrow mouthed pot such
as was used by the early Egyptians. There
is nothing new about it, and it Is little
singular that the water monkey Of TO-
day in Cuba is of the same pattern as that
used 1900 years ago on the Upper Nile
and also used by the Moqui Indians in
North Arizona.
This is what Gen. Skaters men will
have to use in lieu of cracked ice. The
best drinking water down there is that
which comes from the clouds. Wells are
almost unknown In Eastern Cuba. Up in
the mountains there are a few springs,
but nothing to compare with what we
have in the Catskills or the Adirondacks.
. Rain water is collected in cisterns, and
when needed for drinking is poured into
the clay jars. In these Il Is cooled by
evaporation. The water goes slowly
through the porous sides Of che jar, and on
the outside surface is taken up by the
air. The process of evaporation is accom-
banied by a reduction of temperature
one of the most common principles Of
chemistry. BY the evaporation the tenn
perature Of the water Is reduced TO forty
five degrees Fahrenheit, and is then con-
sidered fit for drinking.
The best water monkeys have an
opening at the top, by which they are
filed, and spout like the nose of a tea
pot on the side. through which the water
is poured into gourd or glass.

Savannah, July II, 1S9S-Edtor Morning
News: Your timely notice in this morn
ing's issue that it is about time for the
Park and Tree Commission to do some
thing for the Park Extension, prompts me
TO make a suggestion. have now been
living on the parade ground for nearly
twenty-four years, and 1 have continued
to watch with mingled curiosity and
amusement the misdirected and futile eff
forts of the city authorities to improve
that area. 1t is now fast assuming the
appearance of an old field. Several times
every year mower has been sent out
and the weeds cut off at the surface.
leaving their roots in the ground. The re-
suit is that annually they have increased
in vigor and abundance.
Every gardener knows that you cannot
exterpate weed by cutting them off at the
surface and leaving their roots in the
ground. 1t is like shaving a mans face
which intensifies the growth of the beard.
The roots must be destroyed. AT present
there is no grass in the Extension TO be
cut. A couple of hands could pull up all
the weeds in a day. and this would GER
tainly cost much less in time and money
than to run a mower over the entire sur
face Give the commission a chance to
apply for the first time some intelligent
work.
/ trust that if new paths be made, as
intimated a sufficient curvature will be
observed to give them the lines of grace
and beauty There is ample room, and
I am sure a corresponding disposition on
the part of the commission, if
sufficient means be furnished, to add inn
mensely to the beauty of Savannah. Very
truly, George A. Mercer.
