This performance was duly wit

to ho fore a notary public. Ex
cellent though it was , it did -not
satisfy Mr. Leach , who essayed to
hit itiOO' targets straight. On Oc

complished this remarkable feat.
It was also done at Wood Lake.
Mr. Leach shot at It inch targets
at a distance of twenty feet. He
used a repeating rifle. At both

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. " t '
Coat and 1 oatmeu were capsized. As-
my rifip had 1'jrtunately been leftupon-
the bank , I vas able to kill the alliga ?

The Invention of
th - Modern § * rt s
. 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. Hoe introduced
is huge ten-feeder press , which
