Mystery of the Alligators Found in Rock Creek
WASHINGTON. 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

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.
One managed to catch it by the tall, but It had to be shot before It could bo-captured.

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
