THE NESTS OF ALLIGATORS.
They Resemble HaystaCks and Are
Natural InCubatOrS,

AN alligators' nest is an interest
ing thing" said Alligator Joe. wild
alligators build their nests on the
bank of a river or in marshy places.
They are made of mud, saw grass
and leaves and mold. They are sort
Of natural incubators, for the eggs,
which are laid from 35 to so in
nest at one time, are Matched out by
the steam which comes up through
the mud as much as by the sun.
Around the nest a pie of grass is
laid, sometimes as high as six feet,
and from a distance resembles a
stack of hay. The mother gator has
her den near by. She makes it by bur
rowing into a bank of soft mud. and
sou etimes it is 70 feet or more in
land. The only way to get her out
of den like that is to take a long
steel rod and thrust it down the
tunnel, which is always slanting.
When the gator feels the prodding
she will come out to see what the
trouble is.
1T takes alligator eggs two
months and six days to hatch. When
the little ones come out the mother
calls them together by noise which
is something between a cluk and
grunt, and they all scramble down
from the nest to her den. If it is
on the edge of river the den is filled
with minnows AS the mother en-
tiers the den she swishes her tail
around with terrific fOrco lyiIIiD,r
the smallest fish, and when they float
the little alligators nab them UP.
A mother alligator will some
times have four or five dens, and
she takes her brood from one to
another, repeating the swishing pro-
cess in each one until the young ones
have had a full meal. Harriet

FISH THAT SHOOT FLIES.
Lives In the Far Northern Rivers

In Queensland some of the most
interesting forms of animal life are

piatypus with the web feet of a
duck and which lays eggs and
suckles young), the lung fish, the
walking perch and many other queer
creatures might be mentioned in con-
frmation OF this.
A remarkable little fish is the rifle
fish, which lives in the far north
ern rivers of Queensland. A full
grown specimen, writes a correspon-
dent, measures about ten inches in
length and averages one and a half
pounds in weight. The rifle fish de-
rives its name from the fact that it
shoots its food. 1t swims leisurely
about the stream a few inches below
the surface and is always on the
lookout for flies and other insects
that settle on the floating leaves and
twigs or on the surface of water
plants. Once getting close enough to
its victim it discharges a tiny jet
or ball of water, which if shot
straight knocks the fly into the wa

ROOSEVELT OCULAR VICTORY.

Bossism and trickery suffered a
crushing defeat at the Saratoga con-
vention, and Mr.. Roosevelt, as the
acknowledged leader Of the progress
siyes. won splendid victory
His victory is the victory Of the
people and their cause, the victory
of honest politics over cheap intrigue
and petty tyranny. The old gaurd
had simply neglected to reckon with
the great strength of the Roosevelt
policies What they treated as safe
anti-Rooseyelt territory had proved
enemies country" to them instead.
Roosevelt is justified in his conf
dence, because 1t was confidence in
the triumph of right and decency.
The issue was clear-cut. artful dolg-
ing had failed to obscure It, and even
in the absence of direct primaries
the sentiment Of upright and progress
sive Republicans dominated the con-
yenution.
New York is "insurgent" against
corruption, spoils, perversion of popu-
lar government. 1t stands with the
rest of the country for high-minded
and clean politics, for legislation and
administration inspired by unselfish
motives
The bosslets thought they were
shregd aud practical politicians. In
these soul-stirring days the way 10
win Is to trust the people and appeal
directly and eourageously to them.
True leadership has no need of strata
gems and chicanery. Roosevelt fought
in behalf of the people, ana the fruits
of mis- victory will likewise be used
to further the welfare of the people
of the state and nation.-Record-
Herald.

THE IMPENDING CONTEST.

The people Of Cairo and Alexander

" may be termed one of the most I'M
portant contests they have engaged
in during many years. It is not a
contest in which the political issues
Of the day will cut any figure at all
The issue involved Ia closer to the
people Of tals county than any Of
those stated in the party platforms,
state or national. Ii is purely local
and 1t can not be labeled Demo-
cratic or Republican" "Populist"
or Socialist Its rotation to the
well-being Of the city and county is
so intimate, its bearing so grave and
SO strong, that 1t must be settled by
the people Of the county, irrespec
tive OF party affiliations, II it is to
be settled right.
The issue Is not OF the people Is
seeking, nor has it come upon them
suddenly; II mas been growing for
years, manifesting itself with steadily
increasing menace to the city

itself upon the attention Of voters

candidates count for much; the ques
ton IS not whether Mr.. Nellis or MIR

county during. four years after next
