The First To Shoot Niagara Falls

CROCODILE PERIORMS THE FEAT

Of »ll feats of endurance in the water by living creatures that which baa just been accomplished by Ptolemy, the hundred year old Egyptian croco dile who successfully shoe Niagara Falls recently, is uadoabvedly the most a making

The experiment tiya tha Express, was undertaken by M> Frank Bos'iock, and was made in order to prove that although ail agree that dogs, lions, hippopotami, and rhinosc«ri could not survive thn descent of Niagara Falls, yet certain creatures, including the grocodilo could

Ptolemy waß lowed to the Falls on a log one afternoon j and when the launch was well in the current it turned, allowing the log with the crocodile on it to drift on

SWEPT OVER THE MIGHT CATARACT

After a while the curreut, becoming more-turbulent, rolled the log over, and Ptolemy found himself in the water. He continued to drift. A itlck drifted by his sid©. Ptolemy caught it in h'u mouth

Soon the waters grow choppy, keep ing him under most cf the time

The current carried him to <he American side of the Falls. la twelve minutes after he was started on his journey Ptolemy swept over the mighty roaring cataract. At this moment even the principal actor was aroused out of his habitual calmness. With a mighty effort he raised himself partly out of the water and waved his arras wildly in the sir. He opened bis mighty jaws, tod closed them with

A SNAP OF DE-PAIR.

Then be passed over the great Falls, which have power to light the whole of America. He had to fell not only 164 feet, the height of the Falls, bat to go down into the tremendous hole which the wafer has hollowed out beneath by its age long falling.

Would he come out »Hve ? It seemed impossible. The orgmiserof the ex« perimeni thought he would. The attenJante were betting their wnges that he wouldn't;,

Meantime, m soon as the river had been reached, a dozen men had been harried to the river below the Falls and picketed where they would see him when he swam into smooth water, if he ever reached that haven.

The men were oo both sides of the river. It was thought from the place •whore he passed over that he would ro appear where the eddies wo aid carry trim.

TOW ABB THE AMERICA*? SIDE

To reach the riverside at this point ft was necessary to follow a footpath little used because of its dangerous incline.

Three hundred feet of wire ropa was secured and fastened to a tree at the top of the cliff. By holding on to this one could make hia way to the edge of the river.

Ptolemy went into the river at half past three o'clock, When an hour had passed and there wag no evidenoe of his appearance below the Falls even his owner loat hope.

Ptolemy,, everyone thought, had been crushed against the rooks and pounded to a j >lly.

Still the pickets watched. Every floating piece of tree was followed until it was positively identified., Mr Bostock thought he would Like to get the body at any rate.

It was ten minutes- fco live when Joey, the crocodile's trainer,

$AW SOMETHING ANIMATED fay up the river; He immediately gave a peculiar whistle, which he al waya osed to draw the attention of the creature f Thsre wa^ no responsive moment on the part of the crocodile, Bat the eddies brought him nearer, and five minutes later it was evident that he heard the whistle and recog aised i£. A dczsn k»en were waving* their arras at him, trying to catefo> his aye. The long head was lifted 1, above the water, then disappeared,entirely. Then Ptolemy rengpaarod, and strack oat for the shore., (toe switt eddy caagbfc and earned him out into the stream again, bat a few powerful strokes of the tail Bent the crocodile nearer the river bank. It was just five o'clock when Joey got a rope roond him.

PTOLEMY WAS TIRED, and consented to be bridled witn^t delay.

Triumphantly he was dra^g^R as hore and fed, bu6 he waa %^, mnc h fatigued to be aa glattor, aw m ESUa | f and seemed to need r flß t more than food,

Bop«% were ragged round his box, iifta he was slowly lifted up to the top of the cliffs, wbero the waggon that brought hin to the Falls was waiting for him.

Ptolemy paid no attention to these details.' He was sleeping aoundly and continued to sleep until he was landed back in his cage late thifc evening.

. Ptolemy has since recovered much of his native dimness, bat there is still a frightened look in hia eyp. It is un forjtnnate that be cannot speak to teli of the strange and awfol experience he has passed through in descending Niagara Falls*
