A Foe Worth Watching.

A. w. Dimock. in Harper's for Apri,
For the nature student the habits Of
the alligator holds much interest: to tn,
camera sportsman he presents delightful
possibilities; while to the every day tour
lst who will really seek him in his
home he will give an assortment of sem
sations more thrilling than could be I'M
earthed In year of ordinary globe-trot-
ting.
Hunt up the haunts of the creature
until you find a river that he frequents
Paddle quietly and alone down the
stream and up the creeks and branches
that enter it, till you find on the bank
the bed OF an alligator with signs of his
recent presence. Hide your skiff, sit down
on the bed, and wait for him to come
home. By and by, out in the middle of
Ia stream, you may see three little
back dots-the nose and eyes of your
absentee landlord,-and soon the whole
head, tail and back may appear. He will
swim slowly toward you, and probably
sink gradually beneath the surface be-
fore reaching the bank. If he comes on
and crawls up on the bank beside you.
1t will be a high tribute to your GOODNESS
and complete control of your nerves, and
the incident will make a pleasant place
in your memory.
1t happened once to me that after
long waiting for the return of an alliga-
tor upon whose bed I was sitting, 1 dis
covered that he had not left it, but was
lying in the tall grass just behind me,
with his big jaws three feet from my
face and his ten-foot body curved partly
around me.
After sitting silently in my skiff for half
an hour, wondering why an alligator /
lad seen didn't show up, CHANGED to
look down and saw his head resting quiet
ly on the surface of the water within
twelve inches of my hand as it lay on
the gunwale.
1t gives a sensation to be remembered
to sit thus, motionless, watching the I'M
winking eyes of this free, wild, pow
erful brute fixed gravely on your face,
the huge jaws and the little that shows
OF the long white teeth within reach Of
your jaws and teeth.

specialists charge excessively high fees.
If a specialist is consulted by a patient,
in connection with his physician or indie
pendently, I think he should pay for
the preference. The form of competition
forced upon medical men is humiliating.
The apparent conflict between the gen.
eral practitioner and the specialist, par
ticularly the surgeon, is chiefly due to
the fact that the public is not taught to
value good medical advice.
1.-THE pursuit of medicine, involving as
it does, much self-abnegation, immola-
ton on the altar of duty, of occasion,
and of the troubles OF others, inpairs
in it's opponents not only health, but the
financial sense Moreover, the prejudice
of the community are quick to press upon
a physician who attempts to do business
outside the strict line of his vocation.
His opportunities to achieve for
tune are few and poor. When in the full
ness of his powers the ripeness of his
judgment, the physician Is right to
charge as large fees as he is capable of
getting. He should not be deferred from
doing so by the competition of those
whose abilities are manifestly less. The
community owes him protection, appre-
citation and fair rewards.
I'm certain town, prosperous enough
the physicians found r,lat, owing to the
force of circumstances, they were COM
PEELED to reduce their fees to SUCH a
plane that it became impossible for them

of certain leading experienced busiress
men and laid the matter frankly before

gentlemen and the whole subject fully

reasonable fees for that locality.
From these conferences fee table
was prepared, exhibiting maximum
and minimum scale for ordinary condi-
tions. Below the lowest scale the com
mittee advised to give advise gratis. This
is a most admirable play, strengthening
the hands of the profession in all ways

per ton to $50 per ton, most of it nearer
$40 than $50.
The total output of 10, 10000 tons was
sold at an average of S3S to $40 per ton,
instead of SIS per ton as one would gather
from reading the figures of the annual
report. The explanation of this enormous
swelling of the grand totals is that If
the bedrock facts were printed and it
was officially acknowledged that the
United States Steel was making 40 per
cent per annum on its business the cor
poration would become a target for the
attacks of tariff revisionists.
Consolidated Gas made a great jump
and the wise people of the street sur
missed that the movement was due to in
side information as to what the court
would do on the appeal from the master )
decision in the S0-eent gas case. Nearly
$4,000 has been accommodating since the
SO-cent gas law went into effect, that
amount being the difference between the
price named in the statute and that which
consumers were obliged to pay. If this
great sum should revert to the gas COM
pany it would furnish a valid excuse for
the advance. These court leaks are in
evitable incidents of highly important lit
igation.
In the money situation there were al

gency and is adding thereto at the rate
of S25 900 a year, or Whereabouts.
The bookkeeping of the big Steel cor
poration is one OF the marNelS VI the
age. In the handling of ore from the
mine to the market for the finished pro-
duct it has to shift about considerably
among the subsidiary companies of the
great holding corporation and every time
one of these branch concerns takes 1t
over the stuff appears as an original en-
try The result is that the gross volume
of business handled appears in the final
figures very much larger than it really is.
For instance, the gross volume of bus
mess handled by the Steel corporation in
1907 is given officially as $757,OOO'OOO, at a
net profit of s16l0OO.00O. or about 20 per
cent. In point of fact the gross did not
exceed $500 100000, on which there was a
profit of about 40tper cent. This conclu-
sion proves out very easily and very
simply.
The corporation produced 10,45O,0OO tons.
OF this about 90 per cent was steel rails
which went out basis of SIS ton;
about 20 per cent of the output was in
