Recent investigations have shown that the
crocodile is to be found in the less frequented
parts of Florida, where it has long been CON
founded with the alligator, and single
specimen is now among the collection of
reptiles at the Smithsonian Institution. The
great point of difference between crocodiles
and alligatOrs is that the former live in salt
water bayous or creeks near the sea, while
the latter are to be found only in the fresh
water streams. The crocodile, cayman,
gavial, and alligator are all types of one
group, the Crocodilia. In these reptiles the
heart resembles that of birds more than that
of any cold-hlooded animals. The ventricle
is completely divided by a septum into two
chambers, the venous and arterial blood join
outside of the heart, and tho brain is bird
like. The muzzle of the alligator is in a
straight line, but that of the crocodile is much
narrower behind the nOstrils. There are
also other anatomical differences. The croco-
die is known among the Indians as the
" long-nosed alligator" The Florida croco-
die is the Crocodlus acutus of Cuvier and
is entirely identical with the Jamaica species,
but entirely different from the cayman of
Guiana, South America. One of the most
interesting characteristics of the American
crocodile is the care that it takes of its off
spring During the breeding season especi-
ally the reptiles utter loud cries or shrieks
that have been compared to the yelping of
hounds or puppies.
After the eggs have been buried by the
female she frequently visits the nest, and
when the young are about to come out she
has been seen to move about the nest in
clumsy tenderness, scratching and paving
the shells and uttering curious bark-like
sound that seems to excite the half Matched
young to renewed eXertions to eXtricate them
selves from Che broken eggs. This accomplish
ed, the mother leads her young from the river
to the marshy pools, safe from predatory
visits of the male. If hunted at this time
the female crocodile exhibits the utmost
ferocity and shows great cunning in guiding
her young to places of safety. The young
are ted by the mother, as are many of the
young sea birds, by masticated food, dis
gOrged for the purpose. The movements of
the crocodile on land, when in danger, are
totally different from those of the alligator,
whose clumsy gait is so we'll known. The
crocodiles stand with their bodies off the
ground, erect upon their legs, and make
their attacks by successive jumps The
American crocodile is not so savage as those
of the Old World, yet numbers of instances
are known where their attacks have resulted
in the loss of life.

Several months ago DIR. Lamalleree, of
Paris, performed an operation of skin graft
ing employing gratis obtained from human
being and a rabbit, those from the latter
showing superior amount of vitality. The
patient had suffered for six years from a va
rioose ulcer of the left thigh, which resisted
every form of treatment. The ulcer was
fourteen oentimetres long and eight deep.
DR.. Lamalleree TODD six gratis from the
shaved abdomen OF a rabbit and two from the
forearm of man. These were placed in
position and Lister dressing was applied
The dressing was removed at the end Of
eight days, when il was found that the gratis
from the rabbit had become adherent and
that new skin was forming rapidly in their
immediate neighbOrhood. The gratis of hui
man skin had not adhered The dressing
was continued for eight days more, when il
was found that an islet of skin ten cent?
metres long and seven wide had established
itself upon the centre of the ulcer. Al the
end OF another period of eight days the dres-
sing was again removed and il was seen
that the sore had completely cicatrized Two
months later the healing process still con.
tinued favorably, and the newly formed skin
showed no trace of its origin.

A Comedians Trance.

On Saturday night when famous come
dian came into his club and said, $50 old
Ben Webster is dead" an equally famous
artist retorted with, "What Again :" and
everybody laughed, for Webster has been
reported deau over and over again. There
has, 1t is only fair to say, been nothing
fraudulent in the old actors numerous
deaths, which differed entirely from those
of well-known hanger-on to the literary
world, who died so often to enable his wife
to collect subscriptions that when at last he
was, happily, drowned nobody would be-
lieve it. The story of Websters dying and
being laid out had great success whenever
either Mr.. blanche or Mr.. Palgrave Simpson
told it. As Webster told it to me, he fell
into kind of syncope and was supposed
dead by his wife and servant, who covered
his face and body with sheet and awaited
the arrival of two of his best friends-I
think Chatterton was one of them. When
the regular "calers " during his illness
came, they also declared him dead, esconced
themselves in his parlor, poured out some
whisky and water, and said Poor old Benz
He is gone at last" " Not YET" Numbered
well-known strident voice, and there stood
Webster, winding-sheet aud all, in the
doorway. 81 had come to-" said the old
man to me; adding, with intense scorn,
"and found them drinkiag, and - and !,
damme ! my whiskq"'-LOadoa Lmcr.
