Scaling Turtles.

The tortoise shell Of commerce is
merely the scales that cover the bony
shield of the turtle. These scales
are thirteen in number: varying from
an eighth to a quarter of an inch in
thickness. A large turtle will fur.
nish about eight pounds. To de-
tach this shell from the living animal
is a cruel process, which it made my
flesh creep to witness. The fishers
do not kill the turtles; did they do
so, they in a few years would eztar-
inmate them. When the turtle is
caught they fasten him, and cover his
back with dry leaves or grass. to
which they set fire. The heat causes
the plates to separate at their joints.
A large knife is then carefully insert
ed horizontally beneath them, and the
lamine lifted from the back, care be-
ing taken not to injure the shell by
too much heat, nor to force it OFT un-
til the heat has fully prepared it for
separation. Many turtles die under
this cruel operation, but instances are
numerous in which they have been
caught a second time, with the over
coating reproduced: but in such ca
ses, instead of thirteen pieces, it is q
single piece.
