ALLIGATORS' NESTS.

Natural Incubators.

An alligators' nest is an interesting
thing" said Alligator Joe. wild ALI
gators build their nests on the bank Of
. river or in marshy places. They are
made of mud. saw grass and leaves
and mold. They are sort of natural
: hcubators. for the eggs. which are
laid from thirty-five to eighty in
nest at one time, are hatched out by
the steam which comes up through the
mud as much as by the sun. Around
the nest pile Of grass is laid, some
times as high as six feet, and from a
distance resembles a. stack of hay
The mother gator has her den near

q bank of soft mud. and sometimes 1t
fs seventy feet or more inland. 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 al
ways 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 q noise which is something
between cluck and a grunt. and they
all scramble down from the nest to her
den If it is on the edge of a river
the den is filled with minnows. As the
mother enters the den she swishes her
tail around with terrific force. killing
the smallest fish. and when they float
the little alligators nab them up.
"A mother alligator will sometimes
have four or five dens. and she takes
her brood from one to another, repeat

teally a test between suggestive thera-
peutics and the established schools of
medicine.
Rev. Mr.. Schroeder admits that he
is faith healer" When he was
arrested June IS, everyAmember Of his
congregation rallied to his support,
and nearly all were present for the

suggested that they pray for the safety

than 200 heads bowed and the murmur
OF prayer filled the courtroom, while
the court officials and idle spectators

trumpet and posed as the granduncle
OF Lawrence.
My granduncle, here, is very deaf"
Lawrence says he told the Rev. Mr..
Schroeder.
His case is really very pitiful. His
little grandchildren run. to him and
look into his face and try to make him
hear, and 1t is pitiful 70 see how the
poor fellow strains his ears, without
hearing a word"
Lawrence says the Rev. Mr.. Schroe-
der assured them he might be able TO
effect a cure if they would have faith.
He made several mysterious passes
before Moynihan's face, read him some
poetry and gave him another poetical
selection to read, Lawrence says
They paid the Rev. Mr.. Schroeder 81
and departed. An hour later the Off
GERS returned and arrested Schroeder
He protested he would not have taken
