tboroneh clinical examination of Moses
Eskriuge. locally known as the "Alligator
Boy." Moses was a colored "boy" (in
truth he was a young mau of perhaps
twenty yean of age, and it living today is
prubatily near his third of a century mile
post) of average intelligence and fair look
ing as far as facial featureswere concerned.
But his skint Even after ten years it
makes my flesh creep to think of it From
his shoulders down he was as perfect an
alligator as far as looks and appearances
went as ever Imsked in ties slimy cose of a
Mississippi bayou.
His shoulders, back and sides were as
scaly as the corresponding parts of the
sanrinn, for which his nickname was be
stowed. The shoulders and sides were
heavily plated with true alligator scales,
which, he said, were "shed" during the
summer months. The skin of the spine
and under the arms, as well as between
the hips and ribs, while it bore the marked
corrugation of the alligator's hide, seemed
soft and pliable, and was without scales.

Botanists In California.
California astonished the botanical world
long before it began to play much of a part
in politics or business. Nee, the botanist,
was at San Diego and Monterey a hundred
years ago, and his collections are still to be
seen at Madrid. Dr. Mensies, whose portfo
lios are partly at Kew, partly at tbe British
museum, spent several seasons on the coast
a few years after Nee. David Douglas, one
of tbe most devoted and successful of bo
tanical explorers, reached the Pacific coast
in li5. Nuttall sent his herbarium to
Harvard university, Pickering, Bartweg,
Coulter and others were early in the field.
None of them was more typical investi
gators than tbe late Dr. C. C. Parry, who
iirat crossed tbe country with the Mexican
bomtdury commission. At intervals for
forty years after be was a familiar figure
to hunters, prospectors, mountaineers and
. ail sorts of outdoor people from tbe Ari
x;tia deserts to tbe Hiskiyou pine forests.

ELECTRICITY CURES NEURALGIA.
The Tthrutory Principle Applied to the
Head by an Kuwtrleal Helmet.
Among all the methods more or less
add In appearance applied to the treat
rueut of nervous diseases, there are few
more origual than the one that has been
employed for some time at the Salpe
triere by Professor Charcot It is the
treatment by mechanical vibrations.
There is a serious disease of the uerv
tns system, characterised by an Inces
Miit trembling of the hands, a stooping
Ittitnde and an odd gait, that makes It
teem as if the invalid was going to pre
cipitate himself head foremost. It is
the trenibliug palsy, also called Parkin
son's disease, a sort of painful nervous
disorder that deprives the unfortunate
who is afflicted with it of rest and sleep.
Mr. Charcot long time ago learned
from Bonie iuvalids who were troubled
with this infirmity that they derived de
cided relief from iong rides on a railroad
or in a carriage. The more the vibra
tions caused in thecoHipurtutents by the
train running at full see(l.aiid the more
the carriage was jolted over an uneven
pavemeut, the more the relief experi
enced. At the end of a day's journey
they felt better and experienced an inex
pressible comfort One of them con
ceived the idea of having himself
wheeled alwut for hours in one of those
heavy carta used to carrying paving
stones. Contrary to the experience of
all travelers, those afflicted with trem
bling palsy felt fresher and more active
on alighting from the cars. The longer
the trip lasted, and the worse the line,
the more durable was their improvement
Such testimony, coming from various
sources, was not lost It was for Mr.

In this way he cured anesthesias and
muscular stiff joints. Other physicians
