There are no shnrks In the District, it Is tmc, but until recently there wcro live nnd uncivilized alligators disporting themselves In Rock creek near the zoo. They hud not escaped from tho alligator pond nt the zoo, In fact, the authorities arc In the dark as to how they got In tho creek. It might have rained alligators, 01 maybe some person who had them as pets let them stray down the street In nn unguarded moment. Anyway; they appeared suddenly near the zoo. It was a most astonished keeper who looked on the bank of the creek ono morning nnd saw Mrs. Alligator stretched out sunning herself. Assis tance was hurriedly called and a posse went after tho alligator. It slid off lntc deep water, but was rounded up by tho men who had purbucd It Into the creek. They captured It, und it Is now among the alllgntor collection In the llouhouse- of tho zoo. It was n largo 'gator, too. Superintendent Bnker said that "It was big enough to take a nice plcco out of one's leg, If one were wndlng In the creek."' It was about four felt long, of a very wlgglesome disposition, nnd by Inst reports Ib doing well. It has been named Bessie. But that by no means finished tho 'gator shower. Tho morning after Its capture, nnothcr was seen, sunning Itself at about tho same spot on the creek bank. The posso was again organized, and, hunted down tho second arrival.

This lesson was learned, and now It has be come so difficult at the front to Iden tify nn officer that a failure to salute Is overlooked on this ground.

How They Were Greeted. Tho aviator assigned to hcadqutir turn strolled leisurely out to greet the newcomer. They reached tho machine Where Uncle Sam Cares for 3,200 Insane Persons. ' kN THE southern outskirts of "Washington thero is a largo country estate- which belongs to the government. Extending over several hundred acres of green lawns nnd farm lands are GO brick buildings nnd Iranie cottages which- house over 8,200 residents. There nro nil the appurtenances of u self-support ing colony, from u blacksmith's shop to a shoe factory. There is an Icq plant, a bakery, a dairy with n herd of 201 cows, and a big carpenter shop, where tools and furniture nnd brooms nro fashioned. Tire residents ninko their own clothes, farm the land and care for tho lawns, do tho building and repair work and glvo their own theatricals in a theater built for the purpose. The colony Is not a federal socialistic experiment. It Is the government asylum for the insane, one of the most remarkable scientific institutions in the world. Hero come psychologists from nil over tho United States to work in the psychological laboratory, as well as many eminent alienists from abroad, who, while coming to observe and study, bring ninny new and interesting theories with them. For the last 25 years the asylum has been under tho superintendence of Dr. WHiinm A. White, a psychologist of tho modern school and nn admirable executive who has worked out tho present unique system by which all necessities are produced by the patients within the confines of the grounds. At an economic expedient not much can bo said in favor of the system, since the great majority of the articles manufactured Could bo bought .very much cheaper direct from factories! but the work serves to keep the patients occupied and contented. Every day any number of patients may be seen laboring busily about the place, cutting tho grass, working the farm and feeding the poultry and cattle i and If it wero not for the pathetic similarity of expression on their faces, the broad Iron bars on tho windows of tho houses and the high brick wall which completely surrounds the grounds you would Imagine that Uncle Sam wns conducting a summer agricultural and industrial college. St. Elizabeth's, as the nsylum is called, was established by tho governraent , In 1855, primarily for tho military Insane, although it wbb also to take care of tho insane of tho District of Columbia, who at that time were not very numerous.
