asked me to kill black devp that had
recently invaded the village tank and
had only that morning killed an old
woman.
The natives were very much fright
ened and begged me to aid them. I at
once concluded that the denizen Of the
tank was a crocodile and laid my plans
accordingly.
with my native attendant I went to
the tank to see how I could induce the
crocodile to come out where could get
q shot at him, a difficult problem, for
he was old. and wary. Finally ! or
dered the villagers to bring their water
Jars and fill them at the tank, as was
their custom. About a half dozen" had
filed their jars when noticed some
thing black moving at the bottom Of
the tank and coming toward that side
Of It. But the old brute would not come
to the surface.
II told the villagers to bring puppy
and make the animal cry out I knew
this would bring the crocodile out, and
as he passed me I could give him an
explosive bullet before he could get
back to the tank. a dog was brought,
but my boy could not make him cry
loud enough, so I sent for pig, and
very soon heard a lot Of grunting and
sQuealing.
1.-THE squealing woke the crocodile up,
and very soon be emerged from the
tank All this time I was hidden in the
bushes by the side Of the tank As soon
as the brute came out I picked Up my
gun. The crocodile saw me and turned
toward me, open mouthed. let drive
charge down his throat, and the
blood came from his mouth in streams.
But these awful brutes take lot OF
killing, and he was far from dead. AS
he turned his head round toward me
again I fired second shot, aiming at
his wicked looking eye. With kind OF
believing roar he came for me again,
but this time was not so fortunate
in getting away, for as I jumped aside
to avoid his terrible jaws he knocked
me clean over with sweep Of his tail.
and lost my gun. At first I thought
my leg was broken and that was
done for, and looked round expecting
to see him coming to finish me off,
II rose to my feet, and, although
my leg hurt me, knew it was not
broken, so, picking up my carbine and
gun, I loaded them both as li1nped
along after the 'mugger.' soon came
up to him, and then I could see what
was the matter. One Of his fore legs
was broken, and the buckshot had
blinded him, 80 that he did not know
in what direction he was going. But,
although he had lost his sight, he was
still very dangerous. I wanted to get
in front Of him to shoot down his
throat again, as he kept opening; bis
mouth and swapping his great jaws,
but did not relish the prospect Of an
other smack with his tail, and the
path was too narrow to let me pass
safely. Soon, however, he blundered
out into the open against the village,
and I slipped round him and got In

Enormous Waste of Power.

Probably the greatest waste of power
in this country, outside Of the natural
water power daily going to waste all
over the land, can be found in the Con-
nellsville coke region in Pennsylvania,
where the gases from thousands of
coke ovens pass of into the air without
any effort being made for their utiliza-
ton. These gases might be used to oper-
ate gas engines. just as illuminating gas
is made to do at present. and the gas en-
gines could inturn operate the dynamos
with which to generate thousands Of
horse power for commercial use in the
adjoining districts. It has already been
proved. in the case of the Niagara Falls

dismay fell on Lawyer Coates. He had
