CONE TO JOIN THE BISON. Tha Florida Alligator* Nearly Extarmlnltr<t by Ilunlrrs. Persons who vlnitwl Florida a few j year* ago and saw the rivers, swamps ami bayous literally teeming with countless thousands of alligators, will be surprised to learn that tlnse large rcTtfiles are fast becoming extinct. The constant and wholesale warfare that j has been waped apainst tiiora Jias i thinned tht m out ko completely that unless a halt is soon called their total extermination Is only a matter of time. While they were formerly numerous , as far north as (ieorpia, they hare gradually become extinct until now they are found in grent numl<ers only alone the coast line of the extreme ! Southern States. In Florida they are I practically extinct, w'tli the exception 1 of Manatee. Lee. DeSoto and Dade counties. In the Everglades the spe- j cies have probably l>cen more nuraer- j or.s than in any other portion of the j world, for the reason that It has been 1 well-nigh impossible to get to them. J Iu this almost impregnable swamp na- j ture has defended them so well that j if a hunter succeeded in penetrating it and killing his pa me. he was frequently unable to secure It. It was not until the hide of the saurian i?ecaroe a factor of commerce that its extermination began in ear- i nest. The skins, when tanned, make ' excellent leather for the manufacture j of such articles as trunks, traveling i bags. purses, pocketbooks and nil kinds of leather novelties. Books are also hound with It. and it is even used for upholstering chairs. Dade County, on the east coast of Florida, sends to mar- , ket about 50.000 skins annually, while the number from the counties on the west coast reaches fully 125.000 each year. There is one firm in New Orleans that handles over 500,000 skins annually. In addition to the wholesale slaughter of large alligators for commercial purposes, a feature of recent development is the preparation of young ones for the summer trade. Dealers pay $15 a hundred for the little reptiles while they are from five to ten inches In lencth. They are disemboweled. | pickled Id a preserving solution, stiffened by -the insertion of wires into their bodies, stuffed with sawdust and then varnished. The.v are mounted on pin cushions, pin and Jewelry trays, paper -weights, etc.. and retailed at an average of fifty cents each. One firm in Florida sells every winter thousands of these little stuffed ** 'gators" to tourists, and as many more thousands every summer at Asbury Park and other Northern resorts. Tn addition to being preyed upon by the curio hunter, the young alligator is also beset by birds of prey and large fish. It is even devoured In great numbers by the hardened males of Its own species, so that altogether Its young existence Is altogether precarious. It is falling by the wayside at such an j alarming rate that the future of its kind is in serious jeopardy. The saurian lives to a ripe old age. ranging from 100 to 150 years. They generally travel in groups ana me j banter who bags one looks around for j others and nearly always finds them. Tbere are seldom less than three or four together, and sometimes as many as fifty. Since the skins of the alligator have become such valuable articles of commerce. all countries where tliey thrive are being scoured for them. A New York firm recently sent a band of Seminole Indians to India to hunt them. Moit of the skins used in the United States come from Mexico, while nearly all the product of this country goes to Europe. Florida formerly produced j more skins than any other portion of j the United States, but now furnishes i less than any other section, where the j reptiles are to be found at all.?Indianapolis News. j Ttklac Sport Too Icrlootl;.

Always see that the water runs through the bole in the bottom of the pot. The water before Ix'inp put on should be wormed to about the temperature of the room Id which the plant stands. Once every week the surface of the leaves should be sponged. Gloves should be worn when this operation is performed, as contact with the hand turns tUe edges of the leaves yellow. Palms should not l>e watered from above unless they are immediately afterward wiped, as each drop of rnoistUTe allowed to stand on the leaf causes it to turn yellow. When a room Is swept or dusted the plantB should be covered, as the dust will otherwise settle on the leaves and clog the pores. \uiuufeu n uitu mr piuui uicuiucc. Vacation Kaowladg*.

Henry Clay Pierce, St. Louis millionaire and President of the Mexican Central Railroad, has refused to pay taxes on $35,000 worth of fish stored in his private hatcheries on the Brule River, near Xebagaraon, Wis., and is threatened with a lawsuit by the authorities of that place. Mr. Pierce has expressed a willingness to pay taxes on the real and personal properties belonging to him.but denies absolutely that the fish are taxable. The authorities are anxious to have him pay the taxes, and then bring suit for the recovery of the amount, but this he has refused to do. Legal opinions obtained by Mr. Pierce unite in tLc conclusion that there is no precedent for the collection of these taxes. Even in England, where the protection of fish and game against ]>oacher8 is a well stablished fact in jurisprudence, there is said to be no precedent that fits the present case, while, under the Jaws of Wiscon tin, there is said to be no justification whatever for the levying of taxes on live flsb ?
