Pooer Of Instinct.-The sluggish sea
turtle loves her home. A huge creature of
this kind was caught by English sailors
near the island of Ascension, and burnt n
name and date in its upper shell. On the
way to England it fell sick, and from sheer
pity it was thrown overheard in the Eng
lsh chanuel. Two years later the same
turtle was captured once more, now quite
well near Its old home, Ascension. What
strange and inexplicablc home sickness car
ricd the slow, hearllcss creature 1000 miles
back through the ocean where there is no
track and no high-roads ?"--P -Putnan..
