AM AIULiaATOR FARM.
Hovel Industry Pursued In an Arkaiv
1 HI Looslltv.
' Ths alligator term of 11. T. Camp
bell Mss on a small mountain stream
that flows ths year round. A series of
; small lakes, or ponds, fed by ths
: rtream, constitutes the breeding
1 (rounds ot ths reptliee. Mr. Campbell
has not taken stock of his farm for
•ersral months, but knows that thera
una OTST 400 'gators In the lakes at ths
prsssnt tins, which range In length
from six lnohss to nearly fifteen feet.
On account of a disposition among the
large onss to make a dinner of the
•mailer onss, ths lakes are separated
by wire netting. The number of occu
pants oT each laktf U then determined
by their ability to take cars of them
tslvts 1
In ths summer months the 'fstors
ue fed every Sunday. They hibernate
taring the winter and will not eat ths
most tempting morsel placed at thjlr
mouths. Ths winter quarters of ths
(arm la a long, low-roofed bulldlnr.
heated by steam. The building Is di
vided Into sections, and each section
possesses a pool of water, with atearn
plpes at the bottom. In the winter the
'gator cares nothing apace, and
ZOO, ons on top of another, will occupy
one small pond.
The ags of an alligator Is something
no ons can determine. Mr. Campbell's
experience with them will tempt him
to do nothing more then guess when
the aga of Big Joe la asked. He will
say that Big Joe Is over 160 yeara old.
and perhaps too, but be will not be
mors definite.
Mr. Campbell spenda a part of each
year hunting for 'gators to replenish
the stock on hla farm. The bayoua of
aouthsrn Louisiana along the Quit
coast and ths swamps of Florida are
hla favorite huutlng grounda. The
am all alligator la caught with a net,
but ths capturs of a large one, that Is,
ons ovar sight fset long, is never at
tempted in ths summer time. He Is
located than, and the hunisr wslta for
him to hibernate. When the 'gator
thtnka he Is stowed sway for the cold
season ha awakens to And the hunter
upon him with unyielding nooses tlist
tighten with every vicious lunge hs
makes. Whan the hunter succeeds In
getting the reptile on its back then the
rest Is easy, as the position soon
causes It to pass Into an almost coma
toes condition.
In tha hottest of the summer months
the female begins to lay her eggs. She
will first make a nest resembling a
rubblah heap on the bank of the lake,
and after laying will rover the efcgs
with tha same material. In tropical
cllmatea the heat of the sun hatchea
the eggs, btlt at Mr. Campbell's farm
an Incubator U depended on. One fe
male will lay from thirty to forty-flve
eggs befors abandoning a nest. After
ward she will guard it night and day
until tha young ones take to the water,
but after they reach the water they
have to look out for themselves.
Mr. Campbell sold more than three
hundred alligators last year to zoolog
ical gardens, circuses and private Indi
viduals. He supplied one patent medi
cine company with one bundled, which
are being used for advertising pur
poses.
Trsck Laying by Electricity.
An Interesting portable electric plant
la used by the French railways lu a
permanent way conduction, and en
ables track laying to be executed at a
much more rapid rate than by the old
er methoda. On a platform car lhat
can be run either on the rails or on
an ordinary road, is mounted a verti
cal ataam engine of twenty-live horse
power connected with a dynamo sup
plying current at 220 volts.
There la also a vertical boiler and
water tank, and various portable con
ductors and supports that enable ths
current to be carried to the tools em
ployed In fixing the rails and packing
tha sleepers. The current ia taken
from two wires by tyiiall trolleys, and
la then led to machine tools, which,
with their motors, are mounted on
amall trucks. Two men are required
to work the two machines which set
the wood screws holding the rails
Into the sleepers, and two more ar«
required to hold the latter In place
with crowbars.
In thla way 19.7 yarda of single track
can be sst with 200 screws In ten
minutes, a rats seven times as fast as
the same operation can be performed
by band. Following this operation
oomee the packing or tamping of the
broken stone around the sleepers, and
there Is also an electrical tool for this
purpose .four of these usually being
In ths hands of as many men, while
two others supply the bailaat.
Thus the six men can properly pack
a sleeper In broken stone In one mln
nte, while If the materiel is sand only
thirty-five seconds is required. The
apparatus Is designed so that It can
be operated conveniently from either
a aiding or from onecof a set of dou
ble tracks when repairs are being made
or new rails being laid on the other
set of rails.—Exchange.
Royal Tips.
Some of the European monarch a give
very large tips whenever they travel.
The Kmperor Nicholas of Russia is the
most liberal In this reepect. During
his brief visit to France three years
ago ha spent $16,000 on tlpe to serv
ants. and almost as much on presents
to officials and others. King Edward
of England Is not quite so generous,
but as he travels a good deal, both
within his own realm and abroad he is
obliged to lay aside each year $82,000
aa an allowance for tlpe. The Emperor
WUllam of Germany is much more gen
erous In a foreign country than at
hone, and during his latest visit to
Cowee. England, he spent not less
than 910,000 on tips—Chicago Journal

Numbere Seen In Steep Ceneldered the
Luokleet of Omene.
Haa therj eve*- "wen e lottery, we
wonder. In which dreams of lucky
numbers have not ptoyed a romantic
part, aa In the case of M. Coueln, who
won the second prise of £B,OOO In the
recent French lottery T
That, for lnetaaoe, la a strange story
that Is told of Sigpor Foal, a merchant
ot Milan. Not long ago the sign or
dreamed of his daughter, who died sev
er#! years alnoe, end next morning,
with his dream atlli mournfully haunt
ing hla memory, something brought to
hla mind that It was one ot the daye op
which the municipal lottery waa open.
To the lottery he went, being a man of
| sporting Instinct*, and hla dream aug
geated the venture. Hia daughter hav
; ing died at the age ot It yeara IS daya
and t hours, he aelected these three
numbere to bet upon, and two ot the
three, proved highly lucky. One, on
which he laid Ba. 4d. brought him 250
tlmea hia atakae, or over £ 100, and the
other 4,150 times hla atake of £1 Its.
6d„ or nesrly £7,000.
It was a dream that brought fortune
toy late for an Italian peaaant called
Luca. The peasant drenned one night
that he had been present at the draw
ing of the great atate tottery, and that
the first prize of £B,ooo had fallen to
ticket No. 24,016. Whea he awoke he
was BO strongly Impressed by his
dream that he scraped together all the
money he posaenaed, and, after long
searching, waa ablo to buy a ticket, not
of the number ot hie dream, but con
taining the same figures In a different
order. Then he fell ou evil daya. hla
wife died of aa lllnesa brought on by
hardship and starvation, and a few
days later he, too, succumbed. Within
a week of thla double tragedy the
ticket he had purchased waa awarded
the great prise at the lottery drawing.
In the early days of lotteries in Kng
land to dream a number wax always
looked on aa the luckiest of omens. In
an old copy of the Post Boy we may
■till read thia advertisement: "This la
to give notice that 10 shillings over
and above the market price will be
given for the ticket in the £ 1,600,0K>
lottery. No. 132, by Nath Cliff, at the
Bible and Three Crown* In Cheap
side." Light waa thrown on thla mys
terious notice by a letter which the
advertlaer wrote to the Spectator. In
which he says: "You must know I
have but one ticket, for which reason,
and a certain dream 1 have latnly had
more than once, I resolved it should
be the number I most approved. My
vialona are so frequent and strong
upon thla occasion that I have not only
poasexsed the lot but disposed of the
money which in all probability It will
eell for."

THKY LRNT AND LOST.
Fourteen Men Duped by a Farietoi
Woman with Paste Jewels.
i A gifted Parisian lady haa discov
ered an Ingenious aad apparently sim
ple way to make s>o,ooo a year.
She took her valuable Jewels to Lon
don and had them reset in lmltatioa
diamonds and colored pear to. Thia
done, eke pawned them at tha Moat*
de-Plete for *20,000.
Her next step was to ohtaia a re
ceipt signed by a oomplatoant dealer la
pawn tickets, stating lhat tha Jewels
in queetlon were set In diamonds aad
pearla. That may be aaid to have coa
stituted all hsr stock la trads.
Au advertisement was Inserted la
leading papers stating that a lady
moving In the best clrclea, but ia tem
porary pecuniary dlfflcultiee, deelred to
meet with a person ot msana willing
to euaoie her to redeem and ssil aome
valuable Jewelry. A good commission
waa promised.
Aa soon as a dupe appeared, ehe ex
plained that aa the Mont-de-Plete does
not lend money on diamonds and
pearla, her Jewelry, upon which ehe
hod obtained a ioau of 100,000 francs
($20,t)00), wsa worth quite five limes
that sum.
Artful references to aristocratic
friends and acquaintances, to aucceaecs
at the Opera Comlque, lo her dear de
parted father, "a high military officer,**
generally aulßced to oonvince the vlo
tlm that the lady'a acquaintance was
highly dealrable, and the apeculatlou •
profitable one. He. aa a rule, not only
willingly advanced the 910,000 necee
aary to redeem the pledge, but added
16,000 to SB,OOO to enable the lady to
meet preaelng demanda until the Jew
elry could be sold.
The Jewell having been redeemed,
the lady and her dupe would proceed to
a Jeweler'a to offer them for aale. Ths
offer was, of course, refuaed, the prac
ticed eye of the Jeweler • detecting
straightaway that the dlamonda and
pearls were Imitation.
The lady played her role to perfec
tion, declaring that ahe waa the victim
of a swindler who must have cleverly
substituted the falae for the real, while
professing to teat them. The real dupe
took pity on the peeudo-dupe, and waa
only too glad to pawn the Jewelrs once
for t2u.000, without Insisting on bslng
paid back hla advancss In full.
This went on well for some years.
As the lady netted each time from |B,-
000 to 97,500 on the tranaactlon, she
was In no hurry to repeat the opera
tion. Three or four tlmea In the course
of the year were sufficient to keep her
in affluence.
Fourteen dupes slther believed the
lady's Innocence, or, at any rate, took
the losa In alienee. Not so the fif
teenth, a well-to-do provincial trades
man, whom the lady actually pereuad
ed to accompany her to London, aa aha
had good connectlona among London
Jewelers, and might, therefore, ahe
said, obtain a higher price. Thle vic
tim was fleeced to the {stent of 112,-
500, and at once proceeded to aue ths
lady for fraud.—London Leader.
