officials.
He said that at 1890 o'clock four men
had come into the tower and asked him
the number OF the next train going west.

rived from West Africa at Liverpool,
had most unusual experience when
steaming between the ATTITUDES of
Cape Verde and st. Louis, Senegal
For sixty miles the vessel steamed
through locusts. which were SO thiclkiy
packed together on the top of the
water that they completely covered
the surface for miles around. Indeed,
they appeared to be lying on the sea
as far as the eye could reach. The
locusts had no doubt been blown from

resembled gigantic crasshoppers, and

CUNNING OF CROcODlLES.
They Escape the Net Spread for Them by
BurrOwIng In the Mud.


The following is fair sample of how
cunningly crocodiles, in common with
all other wild animals, can conceal
themselves in moments Of danger, says
the Westminster Gazette. After .
happy week spent in the jungle with
q friend of mine we halted for break.
fast, before making the last stage for
headquarters and home, ut place
called Poonarhyn-Anglice, garden Of
fowers--and while at breakfast were
amused by watching a number of croc-
odiles, about eight or ten, summing
themselves on the surface of q small
lake, or tank, as it is there called, Of
about an acre in extent. A sudden
thought struck me.
81 say, Murray, what fun it would be
to try and catch some of these beggars
in q net" Bravo said he. Lets
try it presently. Appu, send the horse
keeper to the village and tell him to
bring up all the men he can find and
some long fishing nets. We will give

The villagers scented some fun, and
with the further stimulus Of santo-
sum very soon turned up to the mum.
Der Of thirty. 1t was now eleven o'clock
and searching hot, the air quivering
over the bare, sandy plain in which
the pond was situated. It was breast
deep, as we knew, including about one
foot or eighteen inches of heavy mud.
We tied two nets together so as to
make one long enough to reach across
the tank, about thirty yards, and this
was heavily weighted along the bot
tom and arranged to be drawn with
long ropes from each shore.
Immediately behind the net came .
line, and men about yard apart, with
long, pointed poles with which to prod
the mud along the bottom of the net,
and SO drive the malingering gentle
men into proper position in front Of
the net. My friend and his servant
flor all entered into the SPORT fol-
lowed close up to the second line.
At it we all now went, splashing,
shouting. stamping and hauling, but
big but-not 4 sign did we find of a
single one of the brutes that we had
seen before us when we came to the
edge OF the water. We dragged that
water backward and forward moro
than once, but our only reward was q
deadly thirst that lasted us till late
chat night.
They had burrowed deeper into the
mud than we could reach them, for
nothing-I doubt if even a rat-could
have escaped unseen out of the water.

Pure Cider Vinegar.

1t is more than two years since this
country had full apple crop. A good
deal Of pure cider vinegar was made in
1896 from the superabundant crop OF
that year. But the demand for vine.
gar is so great that there is strong
temptation to use mineral acids to
secure the sour taste which vinegar is
expected to have. Most States have
