An Alligator’s Queer Nest. Alligators, as a rule, have a regular place of retreat, in the bank of a stream or pond. This is excavated with their forepaws, and, according to Florida alligator hunters the dirt is carried away in the mouth of the engineer, who backs into deep water and discharges its load, then returns to renew the operation until it h?» made itself i capacious home under water. This will readily acount for the size of its mouth,, for it must not only procure food, but must also act as a mud scow. The female adopts the same method for building her nest, and not only fills her mouth, but also takes ' ' ' 1 her forelegs when si She can by this mcai
