Cat Kills Alligator.
SOLD BY LEADING DRUGGISTS 50'Ab0TTlf

Lakeland has an educated cat
which evidently must be able either
to read or to understand the talk Of
the folks about her. 1t seems that
the feline must have heard that the
Florida legislature had made it law
full to kill alligators, and forthwith
she went out and got hers. Here -
what Editor Hetherington of the
Lakeland News has to say on the sub
iect: "Mr. Brown Griffin reports that
when the family arose one morning
they found the house cat standing
triumphant guard over 15-inch alli-

struggled with and dispatched. Tho

that one hundred thousand men OF

where, If each of these men had de-
posted his 500 in the bank, 1t would

again by hiding money in the house

THE DUST PERIL.

The bureau OF labor has issued a
bulletin setting forth the danger to
health of street dust. 1t contains the
remarkable statement that about 25
per cent of the deaths of persons
whose occupations expose them to
street dust are due to tuberculosis.
While most people may be surprised
to learn that dust is responsible for
so much fatality, we'll informed peo-
pie and experienced health officers
have not underestimate the dust
peril Street cleaning is more and
more engaging the attention of mu-
uicipaI administrations and methods
are constantly improving to the end
that the peril Of dust may not be in
creased by sweeping.
Cleanliness is imperative in cities
not only in the streets but in public
buildings and private premises, but
it should be the constant aim OF
those charged with the management
of municipal affairs to see that the
process Of cleaning does not render
al existing danger more perilous.
Streets should never be swept until
they have been thoroughly sprinkled
for dust becomes dangerous only
when IT is stirred into the atmos-
phare and breathed.

NESTS IN GULF WEED.
Breeding Place of the Flying Fish In
the Sareasso Sea.

In the middle of the north Atlantic
there is an area Of comparatively still
water almost equal to continental
Europe in extent and more or less
covered with floating seaweed. 1t WIS
known as the Mar de Sargaco to Co
lumbus and the early DavigatOrs and
is the Sargasso sea of modern geog-
raphers.
The floating Seawee0 was formerly
supposed to nave grown near the Ba
hama and Florida shores and to have
drfted to its present position. 1t is
now. however known to grow and
propagate Itself where it is found. In
it are found gIobuIar masses of weed
containing fish eggs and known as fish
nests.
Investigations show that the floating
weed of the Sargasso sea is the chosen
breeding place Of species Of flying fish.
The eggs found in the nests were at
tributed TO certain species of fish found
resting on them. but careful cxamina-
ton of the eggs shows that they really
belong to flying fish.
Apparently. however, the flying fish
do not make the nests themselves.
Each end of the eg., of these fish is
furnished with lunches of very long
Elementary tendrils, and by means of
these the finely divided branches OF
the Sargassum weed have been caught
together in globuIar masses. The eggs
may be said to have made their own

splitting nuisance, and it must al
ways be the endeavor of those charg-
ed with the duty of protecting the
public health to do what they can
to correct this filthy habit, so
fraught with peril to all who use the
streets.
In the meantime, however, much
can be done to bring about better
methods of street and sidewalk
cleaning. Business men must learn
that it is better for the sidewalks
in front of their places of business
to remain untidy than to be swept
during business hours when people
are on the streets. The proper way
is to wash the streets early in the
morning before the people begin to
occupy the streets or late at night
after the people have gone home.
The dust nuisance is a reality, and
all citizens must give thought to
these matters which affect the
health of the people. We must per-
severe and continue the great i'm
provement that we have witnessed
during the past three or four years
in the mater of keeping clean streets
and sidewalks. 1t will pay in many
ways.-Houston Post
