extremely dangerous and Green was

He was an old employe, who thorough

Sea Turtles In New York.

Nearly l, 800 pounds of turtles are
made into soups, steaks, outlets and
patties every week in this city. The
turtles vary in weight from 10 to 400
pounds. They are captured on the
Florida coast and are brought to the
city by steamers. In order to keep the
turtles from crawling overheard their
hippers are tied together and the ma
rine reptiles are laid upon their backs
in coils Of rope made for that purpose.
On arrival in this city the turtles arc
placed in wooden boxes floating in the
East river just behind Fulton market.
They-are fed upon cabbage leaves and
watermelon rinds. 1t is an interesting
sight to see a 40O-pound turtle come to
the surface and take a bite of water
melon. \ few are kept in the market
to attract buyers. As they lie upon
their backs day after day and gasp for
breath they excite the pity of passers-
by. Their helpless and suffering CON
dition is markedly at variance with
their former liberty in the cool. green
