ALLIGATORS ASr BOATM-ATES Experience \Vith One That Had Been Apparently Killed. , , Alligators move rapidly underwater , are harci tt see\ harder to hit , and the harpoon will penetrate'only the h-ist accessible portions of the body. Xor does the title to the hide-necessarily pass Tvith making fast the weapon- One afternoon in the Checsehowitz- kee.liver I harpooned a .largealligator , which towed me up and down" the Bti'cam for an hour or two and then sulked in its deepest part. I pulled on the line until the boat was directly over him and stirred him up with the harpoon pole. He rolled himself oip on the line in the manner peculiar-to sharks and alligators and banged the boat suggestively.Ve rowed , to the bank and , making fast to some bushes , hauled on the line until we succeeded in worrying him neariy to the'boat , when he rose to the surface and at tacked us with open mouth/"We re pelled the attack with harpoon , pol "and rifle. The-former was promptly bitten in three pieces , but the Jatter ap parently finished him. It was so.nearly dark that we decided to carry hini in the skiff a mile down the river to wheYo our sloop was anchored. We brbke tlur seats out of the boat and'togetherman aged to lift the1 head of the alligator aboard and tie It. We then tied : the other end. rt'lieii the reptile -came to lifa mid .landed a blow with hia "tail which lifted mo out of the skiff into the saw grass , With the breath knocked out of my body and my hand amffaco badly cut by the grass.

The primitive press was used from the time of the incunabula until the eighteenth century , when" ' Villiani Nicholson practicaljy ells- : covered modern printingmueh'iiH cryHe was an unpractical per son , but , withal..an inv.ento.r. To. say that he was 75 years . .beyond his time woulU be no exaggeration. The inventipn of movable -types is credited to the year 1 36 ; the first Teally practical press , thatdl'BIaew- of Amsterdam. Benjiman FrarikV ; in worked on a.hand press in Lon- , , doh jn r725 and practically the-- same press -is. in use today by all photo-engravers for a. proof pressi At the beginning of the nineteenth century Lord Stanhope invented a pr ss composed of cast iron and provided with a togle joint which faciliated the"work. . Taking the subject broadly , however , rwe are inclined to give the credit of the modern printing press to William Nicholson , for his English patent certainly foreshadows many of rhe modern improvements. We may regard him as a Watt , , although * it- took Stephenson half a century later' to develop his ideas. 'The cylinder press was intro duced in 1812. Various improve ments we're irivent'ecVancl in 1814 : he first press was driven by steam. [ G the < ame year the London Times [ > uVin a press the pieces of which .vere carr-ied-in by stealth to an idjoining building , owing to the i vowed hostility of the workmen. It six o'clock , while the press- nen were waiting for the fornis , VIr. Walter entered the pressroom thd astonished its occupants by tiling that the Times was already > rinted by steam , and that if they ; ttemptcd violence he had an ad- j 'quate ' force to suppress it , but if , hey were peaceable they would be etained. The speed was 1,100 an tour ! . The curved stereotype was B vented in 1S16 and the improve- dents all tended to produce -the aodern press which is an erolti- ion rather than a concrete inven- ion. In 1S4S Col.
