Aligators' Nests

These nests resemble hay cocks. They
are four feet high and five in diameter at
their bases, being constructed with grass
and heritage. First they deposit one
layer of eggs on fl0Or of mortar, and
having covered this witha stratum Of
mud heritage eight inches thick, lay
another set of eggs upon that, and so on
to the top, there being commonly from
one to two hundred eggs in nest. With
their tails they then beat down round
the nest the dense grass and reeds, FIVE
feet high to prevent the approach OF
their unseen enemies. The female watches
her eggs until they are matched by the
sun, and then takes the brood under her
care defending them and providing for
their subsistence. DIR. Lnckenberg, of
New Orleans, remarked that he once
packed up one of their nests, together
with the eggs, in a box for the Museum
of st. Petersburg, but was recommended,
before he closed it, to see that there was
no danger of the eggs being hatcheil
during the voyage. On opening one a
young alligator walked ont, and WIS
soon followed by the rest-about hum
dred--whieh were fed in the doctors
house, where they went mp and down
stairs, barking and whining like Young
puppies.

McGinnis came over from Waynesv vile
yesterday with thrilling account of the
ball game Saturday between the Springs
nine and the Waynesvillc team, in which
Captain Lanicr and Pleas McClupg
ofliciated as the battery for the Springs
boys. This team won by the score of 10
to 4. For four innings "Babc" struck
out every man to the bat, pitching only
nine balls each inning. His total num-
bcr OF strike outs was 20. OF the 10
runs, Lanier made four and McClung
four it was a memorable game 1t is
said that McGinnis and Fitzgerald were
picked out as Stephens and Oldham, and
there was a great tlutter IN baseball
circles.
The Grccnvillc boys are playing this
week with the Harmony Grove, Ca,
