THE MONSTER.


mess-rooms for the officers of the gar
rison. Some of the oldest inhabitants
of Port Louis have seen this same turtle
when they were children. and it has
changed but little during the interven-
ing years. Nobody knows it's age, nor
whence it came. 1t weighs nearly
three hundred and seventy-five pounds
and its carapace, which is gray in color,
measures in circumference feet u
inches. One of the monsters forefect
is fifteen inches long, hind one meas
uring nine inches. Head and neck to-
gether are nearly eighteen inches long,
while the tail measures n little less
than that.
1t is noticeable at glance that the
animal is quite old. The illustration,
which is made from an original photo
graph of the monster turtle. gives u
somewhat adequate idea of his appear
ance. This photograph was made re-
Gently, showing the animal in walking
positions. Some of the old Inhabitants
of Port Louis say that the turtle had
almost reached its enormous size in
1910, the date of its first discovery, and
it is generally believed that it is at
least 200 years old. 1t carries on it's
back with ease two men of ordinary
size. Those familiar with the extraor-
binary longevity, strength and vitality
of these animals will not wonder at
the above approximation Of the mon-
ster's age. 1t may be called to-day
without doubt the oldest inhabitant of
the Island of Mauritius.
Concerning the origin of the turtle, 1t
is believed that it is one of the last SUR
vivors, If not the last, of species of
that class which was found in almost
incredible numbers on this island by
the first explorers who visited it
ut the close of the sixteenth
and the beginning of the
seventeenth centuries. AS they
were regarded welcome food on account
of the delicacy of their meat by the in
vaders, they were exterminatcd ere
long, and it is possible that small
number of them succeeded in finding a
hiding place in some inaccessible spot,
thus escaping the fate of their kind.
This race of monster turtles has be-
como almost entirely extinct except in
few small islands north of Madagas-
car, whose large specimens can be
found, but their number is decreasing
from day to day. although some of the
most celebrated English naturalists
have endeavored to protect them
against complete determination, efforts
which have proved entirely futile.
Some of the Inhabitants of the island of
Mariutius 1ave domesticated giant tur-
ties, who live with them as contentedly
as the cat does with MS, but in It's wild
and untamed state the monster turtle
IS exceedingly scarce.

styles as costly as real gems. Some

some Interesting Figures.

Gen. A. W. Greedy has prepared for the
National Geographical society very inter-
esting document respecting the populous
centres of the world. 1t illustrates re-
markedly the enormous growth IN the pop
uation of this country. For example, it
is shown that of the 10 cities having 1000
600 inhabitants, three are in the United
States. There are 10 existing cities with
a population of 10000 or more each, and
of these the United States has four. OF
the 800 cities having a population above
$4,000 the countries having the greatest
number are as follows: United States, 50;
India, 76; Great Britain, ~; Germany, A;
Russia, "a, France, 3D. Japan, II; Spain,
IS; Austria Hungary, -; Italy, IA. Four
fifths of all are situated in these 10 ceun-
tries and one-sixth in the United States.
In the 500 cities with population exceed
ing $4,000 dwell one-fifth of the / 100000.
600 people who make up the population of
the world.
Climate has much to do with the aggre-
CATION in great numbers in towns. The
great majority of all large cities are stu
ated in ATTITUDES where the average tenn
perature is between 45o and $50 Fair. In
the parts of Europe and America where
this average temperature prevails there is
one CITY OF lUU,UUU lnnaDlIauJS 10 ABOUT
every 100000 of people. In Russia
there is only one such city to over 9,00O,-
900, and in India one TO over 10000, 900
souls. With but few exceptions the popu-
lous cities of the world have become such
during the present century. This is illus
trated by the fact that 90 years ago
| the United States had no towns of 100,-
900 inhabitants or more, while now it has
%. England had one only; now it has "a.
Gen. Greedy has been at much pains to
set down the population of the 100 great
est cities of the world. First, of course,
comes London with 4,211 900 inhabitants.
What is called "Greater London" includ-
ing the suburbs, has 1888, 900 people
Paris has 2,44S, 900. Then comes New
York. Next in the list is Canton, China
which is estimated at 1000 900, there be.
ing no census to go upon. Berlin has
1873, 600; Vienna, 1890, 900; Toxic, Jap
an, 1,16l, 600; Chicago, 100000; Phila
delphia, 1,046,000; St. Petersburg, in win
ter, 1,003, 600. In summer, however, St
Petersburg has only 81, 900. These ar,

What Made the difference.

Twenty-Five years ago | knew every
man, woman and child in Peekskill; and
it has been a study with me to mark the
boys who started in every grade of life
with myself, to see what became of them.
| was up last fall, and began to count
them over; and it was an instructive ex-
hibit. Some of them became clerks, mer-
chants, manufacturers, lawyers and doc
tors. 1t is remarkable that every one of
those that drank is dead, mot one living
of my age. Barring few who were taken
off by sickness, every one that proved a
wreck and wrecked his family did it from
rum, and no other cause. OF those who
were church-going people, who were
steady, industrious and hari-working men.
who were frugal and thrifty, every single
one of them, without any exception, owns
the house in which he lives and has some
thing laid by, the interest on which,
with the house, would carry him through
many a rainy day. When a man becomes
debased with gambling, rum, or drink, he
doesn't care; all his finer feelings are
crowded out.-Chdmcey VI. Depeir.

Some years ago, says Harper's Young
People, when the British troops were
fighting the forces of the Mahdi in the
Soudan, opportunity was afforded to many
of the correspondents accompanying the
expedition to study the habits of the cam
ell. Most of the transportation of the SOL
diers' baggage was done by these ''ships of
the DESERT and at night some of the
newspaper men spent a portion of their
leisure trying to learn something new
about the strange creatures. One of them,
who was an inveterate smoker, discovered
that the camel is a great lover of tobacco.
Let anyone smoke pipe or cigar in the
camel compound, said he, and the camel
will follow the smoker about, place his
nose close to the burning tobacco, inhale
the fumes with a prolonged sniff, swallow
the smoke, then throwing his head up,
with mouth agape and eyes upturned,
showing the bloOdshot whites, will grunt a
sigh of ecstasy that would make the for
tune of a low comedian in a love scene.

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in any way like the oys-
tiers which we eat. 1t is of an entirely
different species, and, as a matter of fact,
the shells of the so-called pearl oyster are
of far more value to those engaged in
"pearl fishing than the pearls. There
are extensive pearl fisheries in the Gulf of
California, and some of the finest pearls
have been taken from these waters. In
1881 one pearl, a black one, was sold for
$4,000, and every year since that time
many pearls have been taken from fine
beds in the Californian gulf valued at over
$500 each. But such Finds" are very
rare, and as rule, the pearls which are
brought up are of very little value. The
shells, however, are very valuable; most of
them are shipped to Europe, where they
are manufactured into ornaments, knife
handles, buttons, and the hundreds of 9TH
er articles for which ''mother-of pearl is
used. The largest pearl ever found meas
ures two inches long, and weighs three
ounces. This is of Eastern origin. The
largest found in the Gulf of California did
not exceed an inch and a quarter long, and
was somewhat larger than the egg of a
bluebird. Many of the Californian pearls
are black and speckled. These are cOnsid-
cred more valuable than the white pearls
in Europe, but the most highly priced
pearls of all are pink.-Horper'S Young

The singular thing is that all the doctors
in the city gave Mrs Wentworth up as in

live. Now that they have seen the won

than any other remedy ever discovered
and physicians and druggists are recon-
mending it all over the country as the best

to invigorate the blood, strengthen the
nerves and start up healthy action of the
liver, kidney and bowels.
Use this remedy now and it will make
