A Natural Apartment House.

In Florida they have marsh hens
that build their nests in the grass or
in logs, F" said A. P. Cornell of
Jacksonville. II was hunting along
the upper st. Johns river when
saw what at first appeared to be a
log. Then I noticed that one end
was split and went to investigate it.
| soon saw that the object was a
dead alligator, with its mouth wide
open, and as I approached a marsh
hen flew from between its jaws,
making fuss that indicated that
its nest was near. On reaching the
alligator l found the nest in its
mouth, with four eggs in it. The
saurian's remains appeared to be
whole, except portion of the tail,
which had rotted away. went to
turn the body over and found that
it was regular apartment house.
From the tail emerged three good
sized moccasin snakes, and from a
hole in the side that I had not seen
ground hog emerged, while the
hen that occupied the mouth strenu-
ously objected to my interfering
with her home Washington Star.

A Famous Fiddle.

There is violin in the possession
of Frau Grigorieff- Krudener of Lu-
cerne, the widow of the brilliant
young performer Grigorieff, which
is reputed to be worth so, 600 francs.
Vulliaume, Bianchi, Sivori and other
experts have agreed in this extraor-
dinary estimate. The greatest art
lists, Paganini, Spohr, Vieuxtemps,
Joachim and Sarasate, have played
upon it, and there is quite collec-
ton of documents relating to its his
tory for the last $50 years. 1t was
originally one of the SO called Kur-
fursten geige, or Prince Elector
fiddles, 12 of which were made as
presents to the electors of the holy
Roman empire by Jacob Stainer
Amati, and is the only one of the ~
which is still in existence. About
century and half ago it came into
the possession of Paron de Kruden-
er, the Russian diplomatist and
husband of the famous Mime. de
Krudener, the singular religionist
who played so great part in bring
ing about the so called holy alliance
in 1915. Mime. de Krudener was a
sort of German Lady Huntingdon,
always surrounded by a court of
clergymen. But one of her family,
the last of the name, was born
musician and delighted himself
with the dusty old neglected Amati.
He took to music as his profession,
renounced the. name of Krudener
and adopted that of Grigorieff.-
