THE ALLIGATOR AT HOME.
PEpPERED BY TOURISTS FOR PLEASURE
AND HUNTED TO DEATH FOR HIS
SKIN AND TEETH.

A correspondent writing from Jack.
son, Fla, says: Among the throng OF
people travelling southward to escape
our Northern winter may be found
many sportsmcn, armed with rife and
revolver and with plenty OF fixed am
munition, cherishipg one hope above
others of shooting an alligator. Large
are tho numbers who 60 forth to shoot,
but few arc the alligators slain. The
rivers, bayous and many Of the lakes
OF the Gull States, are tbickly popula-
ted with alligators, or lagarfos as they
are known by the Spanish speaking
portion of the inhabitants. On sunny
days they may be seen stretched upon
the sloping banks Of streams or float
ing idly on the CLASSY water nothing
visible but the top OF the head. From
the decks OF the little fiat bottomed
steamers which carry many tourists
through the weird beauty Of th, up
per st. Johns and Ocklawaba rivers
every winter, the alligator receives vol.
ley after volley oil rife and revolver
balls. There are but two places in an
alligator whore a shot will prove fatal
in the eye and directly under the
forearm. Tho first, being very small
and protected by heavy easement
surmounted by projecting cap, can
be struck only by the best marksman.
Except when taking sun bath, the
tender spot under the shoulder is never
exposed. The chance of shooting an
alligator, especially bya novice, is there.
fore not alarmingly great.
Although very clumsy, their quick
ness in some cases is remarkable, as
when in the water speed of from FIVE
to eight miles an hour is made and on
land they are able TO throw themselves
over half circle using the forefeet for
fulcrum, striking their enemy with
their tail with tremendous force. In
getting food the alligator displays ro
markable degree of cunning. Fish is
acceptable, and to catch them mum.
ber Of alligators form in line, driving
the fish before them into cove or IN.
lot. Then each alligator makes a rush,
catches fish in his oren mouth rises
to the surface, tosses the fish into the
air, at the same time expelling tho wa
ter by current of air drawn through
the nose, and Ia ready to bolt the fsh
when il falls. Owing TO the for
nation of the teeth the alligator can
not masticatc his food, but bolts II in
small chunks. The gullet is not large.
Prey Of size is concealed until 1t begins
TO putrcfy, when It is sought and de-
voured. The largest animals are at
tackled If they get into tho water, drag
ged down and drowned. Last spring
large OK went into tho waters OF Lake
Jackson, not far from Tallahassee, to
drink An alligator fastened To the
fore log Of the animal, crushing the
bone. The OK struggled to the shore,
dragging his antagonist with him. Al
this time the shore was black with al.
ligators, attracted by the smell Of blood,
and some crawled upon the bank. Tho
OK fought valiantly, tossing ono OF the
monsters high In the air, from which
fall he lay on the ground stunned q
considerable time. But the wounded
or again got in tho water, and man.

nothing more disastrous for the sight
than the prolonged contemplation Of
these images. Lastly, and most i'm.
portant OF all, in N. Javel's estimation,
Is the continual variation of the dis
tance OF the eve from the point Of fix.
alton on the book. A simple calcula-
ton demonstrates that the accommo-
dation of the eve to the page under.
goes distinct variation in proportion
as the oye passes from the beginning
to the end Of each line, and that this
variation is the greater In proportion
to the nearness Of the book to the eye
and the length Of the line.
As to the rules which M. Jayel in
culcates in that the injurious effects Of
reading may be avoided, with refer.
ence to the permanent application OF
the eyes, he counsels 10 avoid excess,
to take notes in reading, TO stop in or

THE MISSING GAS BOOKS
Another County Heard From.

We mentioned on Saturday morning
the discovery of one of the missing gas
books buried in the cellar OF the Twelfth
street Office, and also the determination
of the investigators to dig up the whole
cellar in hopes Of finding the others, two
being still wanting. The work was
commenced bright and early on Satur-
dav morning, and about nine o'clock,
second book was discovered by James
Dyson, buried about twelve feet from
the other and at about the same depth,
some ten inches.
This stimulated the search, which
was prosecuted with vigOr until late IN
the evening, but without result. 1t was
supposed by some that MaXwelrs shane
of the missing gas funds might have
been concealed in the earth, but this Is
improbable, and was so regarded by
most.
The second book was of the descrip-
ton of the first, and, with the exception
of some ten pages torn out, was III equal
~ good preservation 1t coversthe ground
north of Twelfth street, and the torn
leaves embrace Il portion OF the district
embraced between that streetand Tenth.
| To our knowledge no discoveries have
as vet been made with its assistance.
There is vet one-third OF the cellar to be
examined and is now covered by the
floor of the repair shop. This will be at
once removed and the digging proceed
ed with, with what result remains to be
