CROCODILEOF AUSTRALIA A Peculiar Monster, Patient and Cunning--Sometimes 27 Feet in Length. Syduey Mail. Lhe crocodile of the Nile differs very little trom that of Australia, whicn 1s generally termed "alligator, though in reality a true crocodile. lhe | head of a true aligator is broatler and shorter than that of ime Croco dile. There is considerable difierence in the teeth and their disposition in the the teeth of an alligator are unequal and the larger of the lower cane enters a cavity in the upper jaw, ldaving the tooth cleariy visiole when the mouth of the monstr is closed. There are also differences in the webbing of the toes and the form of the legs, though to the casual ob- server there is little or no difierence. 'Fhe crocodiles no doubt feed large- ly upon fish, but as they grow older and stronger and require great gquan- tities of food they will when hungry attack anything from a sheep cr a kangaroo to a bullock, a big croco- dile making short work of a bullock weighing over 'half a ton, Some of those monsters measure as much as twenty-seven feet in length, and pos- sess immense strength, besides won- derful patience, and courage. Ope will lie in wait at any watering place fre- quented by animals, hardly distin- guishable from a log of wood, so still and impassive it has become. The ani- mal coming down to drink, is seized in the crocodile's huge jaws and drawn into the water, and drowned. At other times the tail is used to sweep the animal into deep. water, where even though its prey may be a heavy bullock it has little gr no chance against enemy, which is specially pro by nature with an afrangement 1 vrevents the wager rushing down i huge throat, even though its jaws fully distended through holding its prey. Thus after a few brief seconds the unequal. strug- gle is over, and the saurian takes the carcase in tow to some favoured lo- cality, where he can enjoy it at his leisure. In the early days at Port Darwin, South Australia, bathing in the open sea was forbidden owing to the dan- ger from erocodiles, there and nearly everywhere else in Australia,' called alligators, though in reality no trae alligators exist in Australia. A youny trooper named Davis, a fine swimmer, disregarded the general order and one morning eakly went for a swim. rar out in the harbor he noticed what he and others took to be a floating log. Many of the northern trees fHoat and ate washed down in the wet season to the open sea, Out went the sirong swimmer, rer and nearer to the supposed lof, until too late he recoy- nized his mistake and that he was approacning instead of a log a huge and apparently listless crocodile. But the knowledge came too late to be of any service to poor Davis thbugh some men called out to him fom a small craft close by to "Go batk ! Go back!" and Davie did make an attempt to retreat and was swimming manfully shoreward when the huge brute flashed = down ap- on him at a terrific specd and open- ing bis great jaws, to their utmost capacity, came down with a smack that was heard even to the shore, and inside their . cruel grasp was Trooper Davis' head ! Then, with quickness common to the saurian, it had disappeared with its victim. Crocodiles at night-time low and bellow just like cattle, especially like bulls, and 1 have spent some nights in an open boat in Cambridge gulf, northwestern "Australia, whire the whole place seemed to be alive with them, and what with their splashes and cries, the weirdness of the whole scené and their proximity as they at tiles rocked the boat, sleep was im: possible, for there aie several in- stances on record, where crocodiles have taken, or have attempted to take, men from out of camps and boats. A poor fellow named Reed, the mate or second mate, of the Guinan, had gone in his vessel to some river in Carperrtaria Guli--1 believe the Rop- ef. The vessel was at anchor pear the mouth of the river. The mate, Reed, had been dispatched in charge of the watering party and was some distance up the river in a'large open boat. Water had been obtained and they were all ready for a return to. the ship. The night was a verv bright one the shining wunclouded, when towards midnight the sleeping camp was awakened by some terrific shrieks. These were the cries of poor Reed, who enveloped in his bedding and mosquito curtaing, was Leing borne off by a crocodile, It is said by those who knew him well and accompanied him on this and other previous trips that he had the habit of sleeping with his foot on the guawale of the boat, and no doubt this afforded the crocodile an easier opportunity of seizing him. The crocodile has a retmarkble eve. It can arrange the pupils to a verti- cal or horizontal position at will to i its requirements by day or night. It has a special natural pro- tection to the éve, and through a duct escapes the. fluid which the mon- ster weeps, In fact he is a peculiar brute altogether, with manv special gifts besides his huge jaws thet help jaws. ts Ee "11800 was about $1.500,000.000. in 1906 | a reacxiESS rRouLEY. i -- | Good Idea to Introduce Into This Country.

Germany. conceived it in 1901, | France expefimented with it two | years later, and now Germany, Franee {and Italy are maturing this youngest {prodigy of the transportation realm. In the opening hours of the present century a Uerman electrical house established a short trackiess trolley system near the town of Bielatale, the line measuring Jess than five miles in length and serving as a medium for | transporting manufactured products { from the factory to the railroad. Ne- lcessity demanded transportation of this vature on #ccount of the objec tion by the mupicipality to the laying of tracks on the roadway, Success in a minor degree was tained, the schéibe proving not only feasible but economical. The wagons employed were heavily built vehicles, with an electric motor harnessed to each rear wheel, the necessary cur- rent being takem from an overhead trolley wire by an improvised trolley pole carried om the top Of the wagon cover. A steering mechanisin eomplet- ed the pioneer trackless trolley, One of the early German lines, de signated the Neuenahr-Ahrweiler- Walpozhein system, has a line three and a half miles long, and is used chiefly for passenger. traffic, but has cars for Ireight transportation. It was built at a cost of $32,000, as com- pared with an estimated cost of 280, 000 for a trolley track over the same course. Much of this cost was ocea- sioned by the steep grades encounter- ed. In a test period in which the car covered 150 miles, 1,052 passengers were carried for $47.69, to at- Does Ma Wish She Was Pa ? Mary F. K. Hutchtison #u March Wo- man's Home Companion.

H. Darlow, fw Presbyterian, If you are a Christian you recognize that everything which you possess be longs to Chests, He wishes you to spend part of 4 on yourself and your family and give part oi Nt to others, and to dévete pitt of it to His cause and His church" "What portion you ought to give away dépends on two conditions. The. first is, how much margin yon have left, after absolutely necessary expenses are paid. The Jew- ish rule of tithes, which is found in so many other religiops of the ancient world, must not be made into a rigid standard for Christians. For a man with £1 .a week, one-tenth may be too much to give ashy; for a man with £100 a week, one-tenth is generally too little. The second pondition is this : How fond you, 'are growing of your money. As §oon as. a man's savings cause him to stumble, it is time he be gan to cut them. off and cast them from him into the treasury of God's poor. It requires no small measure of Christian grace to give money away graciously. ' Ewen from liberal donors and benefactors w gift "seldom cones which is altogether cheerful and quiet and modest, quite untainted with con- descension or self-display. And it is especially difficult to gite money with out wounding the heen! of him who receives it, ta givejso that if vou were in the * recipiem's place you would not feel humiliated. Yet the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ inelud- ed this : not even the publicans and sinners ever felt that He was patronis- ing them. And as we follow the ex- ample of His unsearchable poverty, we learn how in our own acts of giving very gladly to choose the lowest place. T. How Thé World Grows. Boston Globe. In a little more than an hundred years, according to government fig- ures, the population - the world bas grown from 640,000 000 to 1,600,000, , an increase of 130 per contd At the end of so many hundreds of cen- turies, in other, wostls, there were in the world in 1800 only $40,000,000 of persons, "and in M6 years, from 1300 to 1906, to this pumber had been add- ed, 960,000,000. The total commerce of the world in it was mare than $20,000.000,000. Oth- er figures show that in wealth and the growth of various. i rial agencies the increase has been far swifter than that of population. : The overpopulation of the world is not a t menace to the thinkers of to-day, but ithe thinkers of a period when there were less than balf as many people in the world, as there are now seriously debated the immminence of the catastr that the overcrowd- jung of the would produce. A ---------- th is a most offensive ail-| oC There Are Plenty of Them and of | ] Many Sorts. i The trust prospect is less highly de') veloped in Germany than in America, but in pearly every branch ol indus try, syndicates, agreements and con- ventions, «@ "'Rartells,"' as they are termed, are controlling largely the business situatibn. There is nothing in German law to forbid any agreement among manufacturers or dealers in re gard to prices and terms as long as it does not fall within the limits of the term 'unfairness in trade," or is not "contrary to good morals." Associations of this character are subject to the general laws reguiring registration and publication of aay changes in organization or object. In certain cases additional regulations come into force. Thus a stoek com- pany must have all actions of a gen- eral assembly of stockholders certified by a court or by a nptary and a cer- tified copy of the certificate must be transmitted to the chamber of com- merce. The balance sheet must be published, The supreme court has repeatedly decided that there ia nothing illegal in the organization of an industrial or trade combination when the claims have been presented that such esio- ciations were fundamentally opposed to freedom in commerce, or that they were opposed to good morals. In July 1890, and again in February, 1897, it declared that valid objection could be made to them only when a combina- tion sought to control a market for speculative purposes and to hinder the free play of economic forces, or upon an attempt to create a monopoly and exact exorbitant prices from consum- ers, It vecognized the full legality of combination to prevent losses in any branch through excessive competition and underbidding. It established cloar- ly the principle that united action and agreements to affect production and control prices are not, per se, op- posed to good morals. At the same time it rejected the claim that trade combinations for the contrel of prices while not forbidden by law still lack legal protection, and that such an organization . has no stauln court, The civil code provides that anyone causing loss to another by an act contrary to good morals is liable flor damages, or is liable for damages, resultant from utterance or. publica tion of a false statement tending to injure the eredit or business of an- other, even if the fact of its falsity was unknown bv the accused, When Explosives Explode. From St, Nicholas. There are two ways in which an ex- plosive may be set offi--by burning and by detonation. The burning pro cess is progressive from one particle to another--as of fire in a grate, only infinitely more rapid. This process is adapted to gunpowder, requiring as it does a very short tune for the burn- ng up of the explosive body The other form of explosion--the detona- tive--being at once throughout the mass, is unfitted for use in guus (which would be smashed to pieces), butgis adapted to shattering or hreak- ing progesses, such as blasGog rocks in mining operations and bursting charges in shells, tgrpedos amd suly marine mines. Substances of the latter sort are termed high explosives. Some examples may be given oi "the safety with which the most dangerous explo gives may ordinarily be handled. For instance, a considerable quantity of guncotton (such as pure Sotton treated with nitric acid) may be set on lire, and will burn quietly. But if a suffi cient mass be set on fire the heat and pressute on the surface of the burning body will cause the whole to be ex ploded, A torpedo filled with compressed guncotton will not explode if a shell from a cannon should pene trate it and burst in the mass of gun. cotton. Even nitre-glycerineswill burn lik¢ oil in small quantities, and a stick of dynamite may be set on fire without danger of barm. wel Burden Of Over-Education. Discussing the problem of over-edu- cation of women, Margaret E. Sang- ster, in the Woman's Home Compan- jon of March, asks and answers the question, "What Is Education, After Al?' "lg it not ascertaining how to make the best of one's powers, how to ar- range one's stores, how to exert a sweet, quiet and fragrant. influence throughout life over all whom one meets 7? If an advanced education does this for pune, then it is the edu cation one should seek. Our difficulty is that we dannot allow time enouch Jor seed time and harvest. Mothers are in despair if daughters occasional ly drop out of school for six months or a year. We arermuch too apt to insist on putting all our children, ir respective of their natural hent, through the same oducational fac tory.
