CAPTURING A CROCODILE. hy.Ooild a c.rodjle. leave,., a river stocked with food, explore for miles an unsuitable tributary,, and then wander inland until it finds a pool? One can only say that it does, declares a writer in Black woofV.s. Magazine. He oes on. to, spea,k. of the T'ai-ping' lake, of the Malay Pen'msula, whjthei.- three crQcodilps had' io'und Ih'eir -ay. So long asTh'ey confined their attention to the fish and an "dcMS!lolRir$iliMk, ji Aspire objected to their presence; but when one of them began toj take sheen .off the banka they came down to urink, it was leit that,.the brutes-ought to be exterminate ed, "aiid '.Mr. Maxwell and" bis' 'servant,' Manap. made the attempt. They set bait attached to a heavy rattan and then waited. The crocodile had seen us coming, and unconscious of the fatal rattan which TftiaVlced its course, moved info deeper watei. Decks were cleared for action. Ma-'j nap was, of course, barefooted, and I took off my shoes and stocking', so that my bare feet might, have astgood ahlklasi?jssiV)le oAhe -smooth -'bot- toni of the dugout.

Mr. IY.:C. Slingsby telle in Jhe. Alpine Journal Qf a party of three wfco set out to "scale the Dont Blanche with every reafconrrble expectation of a quick return. They were well equipped, were all experienced climb ers in first srfl te; jconftiftpn, . and the weather was above reproach. Yet an unforeseen peril overtook them, and not 6'iTe of'fhem would willingly repeat the :$perlenees of .that night. Says Mr. fciingsuy: V'eelimbed up without "any adven- ture, and about 4 o'clock in the after noon 'we started to come down. The weather was perfect and we had no thought of mishap. We bad been de scending, for about one hour when a flash of lightning called our attention to a black elyy,jwlycTi advanced to ward us and caused us to hasten our -movements.''' u-. . Suddenly, without warning, the cloud 'fell 'upon us, dense and "dark. The .axes in our hands gave out faint and steady flames; so did our gloves, and our hair stood out straight. A hand kerchief which Solby had tied over his head looked like a tiara of ligh't. The sight was uncanny, but interesting. The sparks and flames emitted iio heat and no hissing, but I felt an unpleasant vibration about my spectacles) One hundred and fifty feet of climb--ing would take us over the dangerous part of our journey, and in spite of the darkness we pressed on to reach safety before nightfall. We were all seated on a steep incline of ledge, clearing away life' IcV, wrieh ffil 'once the mountafrlside'-appeKreiito break out in a. blAze,5'i?ollo&ed by a nuzzled, muffled peal of thunder, which seemed to come out of the interior of the mountain. If a great crevice had opened and fire burst forth we should not have-tieen more surprised. Solby and Smith cried out, "My ax is struck!'' and each let his ax go into,. the chasm in front of us. We were b,liled by the terribly intense light. ifMtrh had a broad band burned half ay i'uhd his neck, but aside from That 'wewere not hurt. There was Vhbtliing. to do but to wait until the sierra should pass. The spectacle was SjO grand that we even took a grim enjoyment in it. But when 'it had' passed night had fallen, and we were prisoners until morning. We lashed ourselves to the r.oly,, braced our feet on the small projections iD'fi th0 steepfc incline and tried to make the best of it. It snowed and hailed Laudp bl$-y, ,,Wv id..not dare to sleep., I but kept our hands and feet moviifg all nJirht lomr.

A little coolness at the trilfc'iil''momefct 'sometimes saves ttn? day, as in the case described in Mr. Siilej"s "Story pf (tompany F." In a close encounter during the Civil War, two soldiers, one -from each army, came face to face within short range. Each put up his gun and fired, as it subsequently5 'appeared, his last cart ridge. Both missed. The bullet of one man buried itself in a tree, and the shot of tb, other passed through the coat of "lhs enemy. Each man, knowing his ammunition was gone, suVposad hiaw'eclf to-be at a disadvanfi age. . , One of them made a reat show, of reloading his gun, and st w.-H-cT, nemandf'd surre tepping for- ender.

Now fqr the monitor raee Kacli boy puts his head in tlie opening of the box, wearing the box like 'a' huge' haf, until the course -is .reached. ' The course for the race should lie over all depths of water, although in deep water for only a very little dis tance. At some places in the course EM M I. 'IN DEEP WATER THE EASIEST the water should not be more than two feet deep, in other-s about six feet for a very little' way and in others about waist high. This is the key note of the race. , t Each racer has to propel 9iis monitor by pushing it with his Hfad, which must remain inside thelturret. In Vater just up to the nee this 'is not easy, and not at all difficult. .when he enters deeper water and has" to. swim K fora little way,--b'ut when he reaches .very shallow water bis trouble be igins. The" monitor must 'rest on,, the water throuffhout the race, the racer rniist keep ftis.head' inside the entire distance and must not touch the craft with hands.
