a Thousand MILLION SIMS.

Lord Kelvin once made some inter
esting calculations of the probable total
amount of gravitation matter in the
visible universe. He showed that if 25,-
100000 years ago 1,000,0O0,0OO masses,
each equal to our sun, had been dis
tributed through a sphere about 49,
OOO,OOO,O O,OOO,O0O,O00 miles in radius they
would now have acquired velocities
about equal to those known to be pos
sessed by the stars visible to us. There
fore it is probable that the total amount
of gravitational matter in the visible
universe does not differ much from
that of 1,OOO,OOO,OOO suns.

THE ALLIGATOR.
He Is Always In Good HumOr When
Catching Flies.


"The alligator is a funny beast"
said the old circus man. "The old fel-
low we have in the menagerie is a
cross tempered chap. Often at feed
ing time he won't open his mouth, and
we tickle the top of his nose. An alli-
gators nose is very sensitive, and it
always makes him very mad. He
throws back his upper jaw like a Gel
lar door ON hinges. Then we throw in
a chunk of beef, five pounds or so, and
repeat the performance until we've fill
ed him up with about twenty-five
pounds, which it takes to give him a
square meal.
Hes never cross when he's fly catch
ing. That always puts him in good hui
NOR. One would think a fly a small
tidbit for an alligator, but they eat
them wholesale. Our old alligator is
an expert fly catcher. He throws back
his upper jaw and goes to sleep appar-
emily. The flies light on his under
jaw, and he waits until it is pretty
we'll covered with flies-until its red
color seems about changed to black
Then suddenly he slams down his up
per jaw, and he has a fine mOuthfu
of flies. Alligators would make excel
lent fiytraps for houses where there
are no children, except that they arc
expensive, as they consume such a vas
quantity of beef."-HOuston Post.

An amusing scene occurred at New
York dock the other night. A Scotch
engineer, who wished to go ashore, or
dered a boy to show him the way with
a lantern. AS he was crossing the mar
row plank that served as a gangway
the boy slipped and fell into the water.
The instinct of the true Scot instant
ly showed itself. Hold on to the lamp,

over toward the water. 'Do you hear?

After some time the boy was rescued

Sir Thomas Upton will accept the COM

in 1904 and, If possible. will take the new
Americas cup challenger to sail on the
lakes. To representative Of the Asso-

last night:
II greatly appreciate the invitation and
the kind things President Thurber says
about me. II nothing prevents it I shall
certainly be present at the games, and If
the difficulties can be overcome / will show
the Chicagoans the challenger.
IF that is impracticable might consider
building boat for the special purpose of
competing on the lakes. At the first
glance the problem of getting a boat of the
size Of the challenger through the canals
does not appear SO great as the Chicago
committee fears. The pontoons on which
the Shamrock il was launched are still
available and ought to carry her through :"
Sir Thomas also said be would soon send
