CATCHING TURTLES.
rhe South Sea Islanders way of Cay
 turing Them While Asleep.

ChO South Sea Islanders way of CRp'
 turing Them While Asleep.
 There are several curious ways Of catching turtles. When lying asleep on the water in tho sun canoe will silent ly approach, its crew seize the animal and tumble him aboard "bctore he knows where he is" He is turned on his back, for otherwise he would climb out and swamp the boat in short order. A native will also swim up quietly be- hind the sleeping beast. spring on tho back of his shell, and hold on in such way that he can not dive. Having no idea of escaping in any other way, he can be steercd whithersoevor his captor chooses. Considerable agility and ncrvc are necessary in accomplishing this feat for if the man should miss his leap and fall back into the water he is liable to be dangerously cut by the animals flip pers. An in-expert person or one who wished to have some fun with the turtle might grasp him by the tail. If so, like the Irishman who devised the plan of catching tho bull by tho horns and rubbing his nose in tho dirt, he will do well to have his laugh first. The turtle has his idea of joke, too, which is in- stantly to shut his tail close up to his body, whereby the mans hand is held fast as in a wise, and then dive with him to the bottom of the sea. Most of the turtles, however, are captured on the beaches, whither the females land to lay their eggs, and tho males accompany them out of gallantry or to keep guoard. The eggs arc laid in Q perpendicular cavity about yard deep, at the bottom of a great circular excavation, which the female scrapcs by whirling round like fly with it's wings singed, and violently plying it's flippcrs. There are usually over hundred eggs fin litter. When surprised, the turtle offers no resistance, but makes off at a pace surprisingly rapid in so clumsy an animal, and which good runner can hardly keep up with in the sand. To turn turtle weighing four hundred pounds on it's back and thus capture it, while 1t is scuttling through deep sand, requires more knack than strength. A turtles progress on land is by series of wriggling jerks from side to side, and the fisher. taking advantage of the mo, ment when it cants away from him, overturns it with ease. The young are matched in month, making their ap. pearance when about the size of an American silver dollar, and are prepared to begin life on their own hook at once, which they do by rushing for the sea as rapidly as possibly. Many of them never reach it, however, being caught by birds if it be day and by land-crabs al night.-Cor. N. Y. Times.

One of these IS an officer who has been connected with the road many years, but who has got to go now, be- cause of an alleged friendlness to the New York, New Haven & Hartford peo- pie. The earnings of the New York & New England road at the present time are reported as being very heavy.
