At ieast ten species of the crocodile are koov. n to science, one spiecies be- ing inclgenous to Florida. The Glif- ferencu botweeil the crocodile and the alligator is very marked, tbe head of the crocodile is longer and narrower, the teeth fewer and w biter, the two lower front tusks itting loto holes in th*s upper jaw-a feature absent in the alligator. TIhe crocodile is aiso more flexibiy built, is more fe- rucious and fer mîore pugnaciou. It is aise more crafty and dunaing and keener eî cd ia the pursuit of its prey. Florida waters abouncllng ta fQod, the crocodile bas the ferocity of its nature excited by hunger, but when alarnied it plonges into the ri- ver or bay and hastens seaward at full speed until eut of ail daii4ger of a possibile fee. Its great speed ia the water la owing te its powerful tail, wliich propels it after the manner of a amari sculing a boat. It prefors flight to flght, yet if cempelled te defend itseif becemes a foemani wuEtiy 0f the buldest limiter. The feet are webbed aad it can aise pad- die gentiy aleng w ith them. The teeth are, net made for masticating, for when possible it swallosssfis prey entire. They are hoiiow at the base and contain the crowns of new ai-d larger ones, se as the saurian iacreases la size he continues te drop the cld teeth and new ones take their places. The ugly and ferecious crocodile la provided with a tbroat valve which effectuaiiy prevents the water frein running down it, and aise en- ables it to secure nnd druwn its prey under water. The nostrils, piaced at. thec extremity ef its long nese, per- mit it te breathe at its ease, whfie the unI ortunate animal eaptured drowns beneath the surface co fthe water. Moreover, it cau aexist a con,- siderable lengtlh of turne without breathing. In this way the reptile 15 able to, conceal itsel when M sua- peets danger. The nest of the crocodle differs from that of hMs cousin, the alligav- tor, and shows a great sinilarity to the turtie's. The eggare aie 1l la a liole anîd thon saîuutlly cevtred w1tli sand, thse precaution mxaking thons difficuit te llnd. A year ago a cr0- cedilo nest was discovered by a hunt- or and the eggs prosented to the Smilthsonian Institution anàth e Philadelphia Academy of Natwnl Science. A f ew ef the eggs were lies- ed la sand by the hunte-, wlth thse result of hatchlng one baby CGrooo- diluaf AmeFicanus." The littie wyig- gier te very valuable, as it ja said te be one of three captive specimans anywliere. To thse "Concis," or wreckors, who live on thli coral keys, tku stght ül thse cri>codile excites but littieloiter- est, for, ugly and dangerous as lie looks, 'holias been taught by thora that mian is te be feared. These nia- tIve s caimi that they have Sm cro- codiles eighteea foot long ta thse low- er end of the Biscayne ýBay. The crocodile, belag an expert swlmmer, lives largely o ilsk MhiFb- rida waters, but tie testimony of old huntera proves that its cunnfng- nature is the saine, whether it bliete Anmericanus or the mucli dreaded re>-. tile of the Nueé. It doos not attack oeniî, acither xiii it go ashore four its prey, but wlll watch for heurs for animais or birds toý corne te the water te drink,: thon, diving rapidly, it appoars under its victim aod drags it beneath the surfeace. Should the intenided prey bo tee far frem the water te bo reàched by the huge meouth it strikes a biow wlth the tail When it cornes ta healing up cld running sores of long standing there is no remnedy equal to Burdock Blood Bitters. Bathe the sore with the B.B.B.- thýat relieves the local irritation. Take the B.B.B. iaternally-that clears the blood of aîl impunities on which sores thnive. Miss D. Melissa Burke, Grind- atone, Magdalen Islands, P. Q., says: "1la with pleasure I speak la favor of 1B.B.B. ivbich cured me of a running sore on mny leg. I consulted three doctors and tiey gave me salve te put on, but it did no good. Finaliy my leg became a solid running sere. In d'act for nearly a monili I ceut'd net put my foot te the floor.
