THE FIERCE, MAN EATING OROCO- DILES OF AUSTRALIA. These Powerful and Cunning Brutes Grow to Twenty-seven Feet In Length and Will Tackle Anything From a Sheep to a Thousand Pound Bullock, The orocodile of the Nile differs very lit- tle from that of our own northern rivers, which is generally termed "alligator," though in reality a true cr000dile. The head of a true alligator is broader and shorter than that of the crocodile. There is also considerable difference in the teeth and their disposition in the jaws. The teeth of the alligator are unequal, and the larger of the lower egnlne enters a cavity In the upper jaw, while that of a crocodile simply fits into a groove on the outside of the upper jab►, leaving the tooth clearly visible when the month of the monster is closed. There are also differences in the webbing pf the toes and the form of the legs, though to the general Observer there Is little or np difference. Cr000diles seem equally at home in salt or fresh water, while alligators don't appear to relish and rarely visit salt waters. The crocodiles no doubt feed largely upon fish, but as they grow older and stronger and require great quantities of food they will when hungry attack any- thing from a sheep or kangaroo to a bul- lock, a big oroodile making short work of a bullock weighing over half a ton. Some of these monsters measure as much as 27 feet in length and possess immense strength besides wonderful cunning and patience. It will liein wait at any water- ing plane frequented by animals, hardly distinguishable from a log of wood, so still and impassive it has become. The animal coming down to drink is suddenly 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 or no'ohance against its enemy, which is specially provided by nature with an arrangement that prevents the water rushing down its huge throat, even though its jaws are fully distended through hold- ing its prey. Thus after a few brief sec- onds the unequal struggle is over, and the saurian takes the carcass in tow to some favored locality, where he can enjoy it at his leisure. In the early days at Port Darwin, N. Z., bathing in the open sea was forbidden, owing to the danger from orocodiles, there and nearly everywhere else in Australia called alligators, though in reality no true alligators exist in Australia. A young trooper named Davis, a fine swimmer, dis- regarded the general order and one morn- ing early went fora swim.

It is reported from The Hague that on the occasion of the coronation of Queen Wilhelmina several Dutch Indian princes are expected to be present at the festivi- ties. The sultan of Siak, with a large suit, will attend. When Emperor William wanted to order a motor car lately for the short distance between the new palace and the Wildpark Station, a French design was shown him, which he is said to have rejected with the remark, "You cannot expect me to buy and use a foreign carriage here." The Prince of Wales has taken a great fancy to a pretty little villa at Cannes, bo - longing to Comte St. Priest, and arrange- ments will probably be made so that his royal highness may become the owner., The maisonnotto is of very modest dimen- sions, but charmingly situated and com- manding lovely views.

When the barn owl has a young family, it hunts diligently and brings to its nest about five mice in an hour.

Butterflies, besides being inconstant and frivolous, are now said to be addicted ex- cessively to drink. They will suck up moisture for an hour at a time.

Dr. Gannett on one occasion spoke in words of the most sincere admi- ration of M. de Cheverus, the first Roman bishop of Boston, says C. F. B. M lel in The Atlantio. He told the this story: Abandoned in a miserable cabin outside of Boston was an infirm negro. The bishop found hits out, and without informing any one every evening after his day's du- ties quietly Lunde his way to the cabin and spent his time with this afflicted creature, washing and dressing his sores, making his bed and providing 19r his various wants. A servant, who'remarked that on the bishop's return We coat was covered with (Nat and feathers wondered where his master went' and followed him afar off on one of hie excursions. Looking be- tween the loose tiutbprs which made the wall of the cabin, he .saw the man of God engaged in his work of mercy. Dr. Gannett told ate this story With a kind of adtniration for suoh devotion on the part of a prelate. Little did he sup- pose that I myself would surprise him in the (laterals° of a ne less humble and Chrlstlike charity. I had been told that a certain German teacher, Professor bherb, Was lying ill in a cold and comfortless attic in a miserable quarter of the city, and had no one to take oare of him. At my first free moment I sought the lodging of this poor man, but Dr. Gannett was there before me. I found him at the door with a broom in his hand, with which he had been swooping the room 9f the invalid. I entered and found the sick elan sitting up in front of a newly lighted flre,carefully rolled up in a blanket, Gating grapes which had been brought 'him by the good Samaritan. The mat- tress had been removed from the bed, the sheets had been pot out to air, the meager furnishings of the room had been put in order, and all this by the hand of my ex- cellent friend, who appeared quite con- . fused When naught to the act.

Those were the cries of poor Rood, who, enveloped in his bedding and mosquito curtains, was being 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 gunwale of the boat, and no doubt this afforded the crocodile an easier opportunity of seizing hits. All night and a great part of next day were spent in searching for the miss- ing inan's body, but without success. The crocodile has a remarkable eye.
