the teeth of the 13-foot alligator, which
is kept in the west end of the reptile
house in the Bronz Geological Park.
The alligator had shown signs of
fierceness for some time. He became
worse and worse as the days went by
and wound up one morning by killing
an S-foot alligator in the same tank.
Then it was decided that it was nee
essary in the interest of the future
welfare of the remaining alligators that
the big ones teeth should be rendered
less dangerous.
A rope with a sling was lowered over
his head and drawn taut, and the tail
was similarly treated. Each of the
legs was next secured in like man.

The work was a ticklish job, which
required the combined efforts of four
teen men. as the reptiles kept up a
fight that will be remembered for
many a day by every one of the four
teen men that took part in 1t. His
jaws went shooting back and forth,
and with lightning-like rapidity he
darted them toward first one and then
another assailant. bringing them to-
gether with a snap of his sharp double
row of teeth. At last the combined
efforts of the men were enough to hold
the alligator. Then he was turned over
on his back and dashed to the boat so
that he could not move either tail or
foot.

was finally got into place, and the up
per jaw was tied TO a board. Sticks
were then pried between the jaws 10

Thus held the reptile lay helpless and
the work of saving off some of the
longest and most dangerous teeth was
soon accomplished.
When he was united and allowed to
run loose in the tank he skunk into n
corner as If he felt the disgrace which
had come to him.

But ! think il would be rather hard
to meet al Jacksonville or Savannah,
but we can have county meetings and
elect as many delegates as ii is neces-
sary to represent each county, and the
rest of the operators defray their part
of the expenses. This plan would save
considerabl to each man. But l am
not suggesting plan against any
other, as can meet at any place point

would issue circular TO all operators
to meet at some early date and con-

TALK OF BUILDING HUGE

STEAMER LOUISE To MAKE FIRST

Capt. w. T. Gibson Invites Fifteen

Matters of Interest to shippers
and Mariners.
There is talk in shipping circles of
the building of large and commodious
marine railway near the city before
long. While nothing definite is obtain
able it is said the plans of the promo
tiers contemplate the building of a rail-
way that will accommodate the larg
est vessels that visit the port, hence
would otherwise necessarily go else
where.
VIM. Kelly & Son are said to be in
directly connected with the movement.
though they are acting largely for the
real promoters. William Kelly, the
to Boston, and from there will go to
Maine to visit the shipyards and inves-
tigate about railways. This is a side
issue with Mr.. Kelly, however. 1t is
said his real business is to buy a large
dredge in Maine. and also arrange for
machinery for a wrecking plant
While information about the proposed
marine railway is vague at present, it
is currently believed that something
along this line may be undertaken. 1t
is claimed that a huge railway could
be built along lines that will facilitate
the handling of the largest vessels that
visit Savannah. Owing to the sandy
soil, and the difficulty in getting
substantial foundation at reasonable
cost. the building of dry docks for the
repairing of vessels is rarely ever Sc
riously discussed.
