Turtle Hunting.

In the neighborhood Of Cuba
most peculiar method Of securing
turtles is pursued They train, or
at least take advantage OF the in
stincts of certain species Of fish. The
fish is called by the Spaniards reve
(meaning reversed), because its back
is usually taken for its belly. 1t has
an oval plate attached to its he I'd,
whose surface is traversed by parallel
ridges. BY this plate it can firmly
adhere TO any solid body it may
choo.e. The boats which go in quest
Of turtles each carry tuD cont lin
ing some of these reeves. When the
sleeping turtles are seen they are
cautiously approached, and as soon
as they are Judged near enough
reve is thrown into the sea. Upon
perceivipg the turtle, its in
stinct teaches it to swim
right toward it and FIX itself
firmly upon the creature by its
sucking disk. sooner would the reve
allow itself to be pulled TO pieces
than to give up its grip. A ring
attached to the tail Of the fish. in
which a string is fastened. allows the
fisherman TO pull In his prize. BY a
peculiar manipulation the rive Is
pull ed off and returned TO the tub to
be ready for use again when the next
turtle Is sighted.

debtors having failed to pay up.
