DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, 1886. *di«p’’ Tell* How He Came to Find It Out. •mmFsw Fsrts Aboatlho flslor I* (l.a.ral—And * Word About tho Kmsll ISoy—lion Alliyiton.’ iMt* Ara Had*—Tba Kffg*. The alligator Is an oviparous bird. Ho b amphibious and carnivorous also, and if there is anything else that is curious, ho is that, too. I never beard one sing, bu‘ if I Uve long enough I expect to find the man Who has. I know the alligator lays eggs, for my old friend Chap yesterday told tnoall about on adventure lie hnd, when a boy, In rob bing a’gator’s nest. If there is anything On earth that has not been invaded and raided by a boy, it ifl because the bov, for that locality, has not yet been born. It is true that the time when my old friend was A boy reaches so far back into the misty past that the recollection of the oldest in habitant Is somewhat beclouded on the oc currences of that period. But when it Comes to ’gators, it mattors not about time, for if they have over changed their political tactics or modified their religious creeds or altered . their domestic habits in any way,then the lively chronicler of such events--recently imported from the bogs and everglades of south Florida, and who is regarded in this locality as standard authority on bears and ’gators, and skeeters and old settlers, little niggers and such like things—has failed to inform the reading public; hence we conclude, •‘That as was the ’gator in days of yore, so Is the ’gator now,” Darwinianism to the contrary notwithstanding. So, if ’gators made their little nests and laid them full of eggs at the period when my old friend was a hoy, they are still engaged in that Interesting domestic pastime. My old friend began his narrative by saying that ho once lived in a ’gator country. Now, the ’gator has a country. Unlike drummers and repor ters, and other migratory and predatory birds, the gator has a country of his own. Ho does not belong to the ubiquitous tribe. Ho never goes away from home to Reo what other folks aro doing. He don’t go to the mountains in the Rummer time, and he don’t hunt for the north pole. If a man hankers after ’gator society, ho must Ko to the ’(tutor’s homo. In fact. If the ’(fator could be induced to leave his oo/.v habitations and take up his abode in a civilized section and wash the sun baked mud from his bark and comb bis hair and put on a clean shirt and purge the malaria out of his system—as tough as his const itu- tion is said to be—his ’gatorship couldn’t stand it. The only thing that can survive such radical changes and flourish is u Florida pencil pusher. My old friend proceeded to say that on a hot summer day. while engaged in eagerly hunting for birds’ nests and in chasing liz- sa.'ds, lie, nil at once, realized ttiat. he was nearly famished with thirst, and hurriedly wending his way to a large spring was just in the aet of assuming a devotional at titude over its brink when he discovered a monstrous ’gator iying motionless some six feeet under the water, and the innocent creature was gazing right up at him with a yearning, hungry look, lie suddenly for got his thirst, and in the confusion which ensued lie didn’t even think to say, “Good bye, Mr. ’Gator, but took his leave at once and didn’t stand on the order of his going. I havo observed that boys and horses have one trait of resemblance in com mon between them, and that is that when once frightened and fairly started, they are both rather reck less in their movements. Just how far Chap would havo run must ever remain within the realm of conjecture; but, meet Ing old African Joe, who was on his iisuul round of visiting his llsh baskets, Chap’s courage returned sufficiently l'or him to relate to his eager listener the main fea tures of his adventure. Old Joe showed how readily ho comprehended the situa tion by exclaiming: "Dur, now, I bet dat gator’s watchin’ hoes nest. I gwine rite ilar now, slio, aud And dat gator’s nest.” Tlie idea of linding a ’gator’s nest, and that too in company with old Joe, caused an instant revulsion in Chap's feelings, and though, b jt a moment before, he was pale and paralyzed with fear, yet now, he felt that lie could face, not only the mother 'gator but a whole brood of moc casins besides. Historians record instances of the rauid revulsion of feeling in panic strickon troops, upon the sudden appear ance in their midst of some favorite leader, and that then, becomingushumed of their former fears, would move ou to deeds of unnatural daring. So, ou the route back, our then young but now aged hero, led tho way far in ad vance of old Joe, and when the spring was reached, they cautiously peered over its edges and saw the gator ■till quietly waiting his chance to form ac quaintance with some unlucky boy or dog while engaged in the act of slaking their thirst out of the waters of the big spring. His gotorship was left to continue the waiting business, while Joe and Chap be wail search for the nest, which was soon found—old Joe’s experience in that line greatly facilitating the search. In describing the nest, Chap said that it was a cone-shaped mound of mud. that the gator, in constructing it, first laid a number of eggs in a circular layer on the ground, and then on tho top of these was placed another layer of eggs and so on, having each successive layer smaller In eircumiereneo than the one below until the apex was finished. This egg mound was then covered with dog fennel, after the fashion that farmers cover their pota to hills with a laver of hay and corn stalks Over the whole, was a thick coating • f mud, nicely pressed aud smoothed. The eggs were about the size ol' a goose egg, having a hard, thick shell. Jonas Larkin.
