GALAPAGOS TORTOISEs.
A Race of Turtles That Is Nearly
Extinct.
Owing to Their Excellence as an Article
OF Food They Have Been Nearly Eaten
Out of ExisLence-How They
Are Captured.

The Galapagos tortoises are the only
survivors of an ancient race of huge
turtles which lived so long ago as the
early part of the tertiary epoch. Speci-
mems weighing from six hundred. to
seven hundred pounds have been cap
tured, and there is authentic record of
one individual taken which tipped the
scales at eight hundred and seventy
pounds. However, nearly all of the
very big ones have been caught and
devoured, and it will not be long before
the race is exterminated - literally
'eaten off the face of the earth by glut-
tonous men," 1t is reckoned that ten
millions of these turtles have been
taken from the islands since their dis
covery. 49,
No provisions for ships were ever
found equal to these tortoises, which
will remain in good condition for year
without food or water. A supply of the
latter is carried by the animal in bag,
which contains as much as two gallons
sometimes. They are very sagacious,
and when kept on deck can be taught
to con6ne themselves to any space ar
ranged for their accommodation by
whipping them gently with a ropes
end when they get out of it. The meat
is said to be finer than that of green
turtle. Dampier, the explorer who Wis
tied the islands in 1884, wrote that the
flesh resembled pullet,s flavor "The
OIL" he says, ''we kept in jars and used
it instead of butter to eat with dump
hngs." Rogers in 1707 wrote: '"The
eggs of a turtle are as big as those Of q
goose, white, hard shells and exactly.
round. Two men rode on the back of
one of the creatures, which weighed
seven hundred pounds, and it carried
them with ease" In 1893 Colnet report
ed that the nests of the tortoises
"were thrown up in circular
form, never containing more than three
eggs, which are heated by the sun,
hole being so contrived as to admit it's
rays through its daily course" This,
last remarkable statement would seem
to imply that these chelonians were
somewhat familiar with astronomy.
The tortoises are vegetable feeders,
according to the Boston Transcript,
browsing chiefly on succulent cactus.
1t is said that they are entirely deaf, 80
that even the report of a gun does not
startle or alarm them. At intervals
they make pilgrimages to the hill tops.
where water is to be found, travelling by
night only. Thus, in the course Of CEN
turies, they have worn regular roads
from the shore up the mountain sides.
by following which the Spaniards first
discovered the watering places. They
havevery long and snake-like necks and
heads, and their feet surprisingly re-
semble those of an elephant. Their
clumsy method of locomotion also sug-
gests likeness to the great pachyderm.
Undoubtedly they live to q very great
age, and their aspect is most venerable.

LEARN TO TAKE IT EASY.

Too Much Worry and Business Not Good
for . Man.
"It does seem strange to me-" said ex-
Congressman West to New York Her
aid reporter the other day, "why some
business men cling closely to business
all their lifetime. You laugh? Well,
business is business, of course, and Ben
Franklin knew what he was talking
about when he said something about
saving a penny every time you get a
chance. But what mean to say is that
business man needn't be everlastingly
drudging away simply because he is
making lots of money. He should take
holiday, and at times jolly long one" !"
Mr.. West stroked his big white beard
and looked up at the ceiling as if trying
to count the roses in the frescoed
wreaths above the chandelier, and then
went on:
erich men in business, no matter
whether they began business when they
were poor as church mice or whether
they had piles of money before they got
out of their teens, are becoming
sensible nowadays. can count
on my fingers ends dozens Of men
who, twenty-five years ago, never
took a week off in summer time
even, who were rich as Croesus
years and years before that, and yet
who went to their offices as early as
they had to do when they were clerk
ing it; and they kept it up till they
toppled into their graves. Why, I
knew some New York business men
twenty-five years ago who had never
taken an ocean bath because they had
never seen the ocean beyond the Bat
terry. / know a thing or two about
Saratoga, and, would you believe it,
last summer I had as pleasant a day as I
ever spent in my life at Ballston with q
merchant in this city who had gone out
of town for week for the first time
during the sixty years Of his active
business life? Yet that man had always
made his clerks go away for week
every summer, with a weeks salary
paid in advance.
Business men don't feel old nova
days because their hair is gray. They
don't save up for the boys by depriv-
ing themselves of needed recreation.
They take their share of jollities of life,
too; and by jollities 1 don't mean jags.
And though they don't work as many
hours day as their fathers did they
manage to accomplish much more"

HOW GLACIERS ARE FORMED.
Interesting Facts Regarding the Wonder
G.al nIc.,s&o-s al R=nznz, Ta.rIfnxv

full Monsters Of Frozen Territory.
When large tract of mountain sur
face is exposed above the snow line,
and when the precipitation exceeds
that which can be removed by melting
or by evaporation, the surplus snow
gradually collects in the valleys and
gorges, and slowly-almost impercepti-
bly-moves down the slope far below
the usual limit. Thus are formed the
well-known ''rivers of ice," or glaciers.
The best-known glaciers are in Switzer-
land, where some four hundred, vary
ing in length from five to fourteen
miles, are scattered through the Alpine
valleys. Their width varies from half
thickness, it is estimated, is somewhere
about one thousand feet. But these,
when compared to some of our Green
land or Alaska glaciers, become very
insignificant. Muir glacier, for in
stance, occupies tract some thirty or
forty miles wide, from which nine main
streams and seventeen branches unite
to form a grand trunk, that pushes a
mighty wall of solid ice, 5000 feet wide
and 700 feet deep, into Glacier bay. The
great Humboldt far outstrips this, be-
ing fully 115 miles wide and some 1000
feet in thickness. Nordenskjold, who
penetrated 1913 miles inland, was unable
to find its end. Goldthwaite'sG Geograph-
ical Magazine thinks that in all prob
ability it is an arm of one gigantic field
of ice, Gaping the interior of Green
land, and moving gradually but cease
lessly toward the sea.
These monsters, however, are much
more difficult to study than their
smaller brothers in Switzerland, so we
will leave them and see what there is
to be seen on and about one of the lat
ter. Beginning with his bleak, dreary
birthplace, some two or three thousand
feet above the snow line, and following
it to the point where it is transformed
into q muddy torrent, we will first Sc
lect some summit having about that ell
ovation. Here the light, powdery
snow, which is but slightly affected by
the heat of the sun, is blown hither and
thither by the winds, and finally de-
posted in the gulches and ravines.
There it accumulates until, principally
by its own weight, it begins to creep
down the slope to the valleys below. AS
it gradually approaches the snow line
it is more and more affected by solar
heat, which every day converts the sur
face snow into myriads of tiny rills.
These trickle into every possible crack
and Granny and, during the night, are
frozen solid again. Thus, through a
succession of freezing and thawing, the
entire mass acquires coarse, granular
composition, quite unlike the soft,
powdery substance which it was farther
up the slope.
But all this time fresh deposits of
snow are being piled on top. These
naturally tend to compress it, and of
course are in their turn compressed by
still more recent falls. In this manner,
with the aid of radiation, the neve, as it
is called, passes, by insensible grada-
items, into clear, solid ice-the glacier
proper. This ends its formation.

signs for the Dry Air of Yuma

"My home is in Yuma, which
has a national reputation as the
hottest town in the United States, "
said Judge E. M. Sanford, of Ari-
zona, at the Riggs, "but the heat
doesn't feel so oppressive there when
the mercury registers 10 or 115 de-
grees as here in Washington when
it is up in the nineties. The dry
mesa ofthe atmosphere explains it;
and the story of the Fort Yuma
man who begged leave of absence
ofthe keeper of Hades in order that
he might return home for a blanket,
is a libel on our climate.
There are good many things about
our Territory, however, that the
public doesn't know, for instance,
that we have in Southern Arizona
the greatest fruit country on the
continent, superior in quality and
several weeks earlier than the
California product. Our lemons,
oranges, grapes and figs are un-
equaled. All we need is an extern
sion of the irrigation system to
raise fruit enough to supply the
whole country. Our splendid ad-
vantages are attracting capitalists,
and some moneyed men from Den
yer will expend $16,0o0,000 in
irrigation works that will pay them
a generous return on their invest
ment. Post, Washington D. C.

A Terrible Rifle.

The very latest invention in the way
of magazine small arms, and one not
yet submitted to the United States army
board, is the gun that has just been put
in test by the Italian authorities. The
rifle is four feet longand of the smallest
caliber yet attempted, .256-inch. The
speed of the bullet is 1850 foot-seconds,
and as regards its penetrative force it is
said that the ball will pierce two mat
tresses and, two planks five inches thick
at distance of nearly a mile. Loading
is effected by. means of chargers con-
tanning five cartridges arranged SO that
a repeating flre may be obtained until
the magazine is exhausted. Many of
the experts who attended the trials are
of the opinion that the weapon is the
most destructive at present existing
among European armies.
