BITS ABOUT WRITERS.

MAURUs JoKAI, the Hungarian novel
list, has celebrated his SEVENTEEN BIRTH
day.
SwINBURNE is fifty-eight years old, is
FIVE feet high and has a ghastly face
and a head of unkempt hair.
WALTER BEsANT has started move
ment for the erection in London of a
statue to the late Robert Louis Steven
son.
OSCAR WILDE enjoys being sarcastic.
Somebody spoke to him recently of
Sardou. "Oh, yes" remarked Oscar,
thoughtfully. "Sardou? He writes
plays, doesn't hep"
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES paid taxes
on $4,000 of personal property, that
being his own estimate. The settle
ment shows that the personal property
was worth $4,000. Holmes was honest.
FOLLOWING the appearance In litera-
ture of the son of the archbishop of
Canterbury, with Dodo, comes that of
his daughter. Miss Margaret Benson
has published a volume of studies of
the domestic life of animals, entitled
"Subject to Vanity" illustrated by her
self.
RUDYARD KIPLING is not as prolific a
writer as he was some years ago. His
success early In life has made him con-
servative with his pen. He polishes
his work with more care tEan he used
to expend upon it, and is said to regret
that he cannot call back certain rather
crude productions that bear his name.
COUNT ToIsToI refused a large sum
offered him by an American publisher
for his last story. The New; a Russian
illustrated weekly, then offered him
five hundred dollars page for the ex-
elusive right to publish it as a serial.
This, too, he refused, and made free
gift of the manuscript to the Severney
Vestnik, Russian monthly magazine.

CATCHING TURTLES.


Peculiar Method In Vogue In tho Neigh
borhood of Cuba
In the neighborhood of Cuba, says n re-
cent visitor to that island, a most peculiar
method of securing turtles is pursued.
They train, or at least take advantage
of the instincts of n certain species of
fish, called by the Spanish, reve (mean-
ing reversed), because its back is usual
ly taken for its stomach.
1t has an oval plate attached to its
head, the service of which is traversed
by parallel ridges. BY this plate it can
firmly adhere to any solid body it may
choose. The boats which go in quest
of the turtles each carry tub contain
ing number of these reves.
When the sleeping turtle are seen
they are approached, and as soon as
they are judged near enough a reve is
thrown into the sea. Upon pcrceiving
the turtle, its instinct teaches it to
swim right towards it and fix itself
firmly upon the creature by means
of its disk. Sooner would the reve
allow itself to be pulled to pieces than
give up its grip
A ring, which Is attached to the tail
OF the fish, in which string is fastened,
allows the fisherman to pull in his
prize. BY peculiar manipulation the
reve is pulled off and returned to the
tub, to be ready for use the next time
turtle is sighted.

ABOUT THE OPERA.

"NINoN LENCLos," a new opera by NJ.
Edmond Missa, a pupil of Massenet,
was recently produced at the Paris
Opera Comique with success. The music
is said to be Wagnerian in character.
HERR HUMPERDINCK, according to the
Frankfurter Zeitung, has refused 81, 900
for two years royalties on "Haensel
and Gretel" for Vienna alone; by the end
of this year he will have made $50, 900
out of the opera.
A NEW four-act opera by F. II. Cowen,
entitled Harold, the Last Of the
Saxons," will be produced at Drury
Lane this season. The libretto is
written by Sir Edward Malet, the Brit
ish ambassador to Berlin.
A NEW operetta by Audrean, the COM
poser of LA Mascotte" and "Olivette,"
has just been produced with success
at the Bouffes Parisiens. 1t Is called
LA Duchesse de Ferrare." The char
acters are chiefly art students and
artists models.
BABY opera having proved successful
Herr Humperdinck, the composer Of
"Haensel and Gretel," has just COM
pleted another fairy tale called the
Royal Infants" after story by e.
Rosmer, In which, as in his first opera,
the two leading parts are written for
women, who represent children.
In Germany the seed Of opera fell
upon stony ground. Heinrich Schultz
wrote music to translation of Peri's
Hafne, which was performed for court
wedding at Porgan in 1927, but only
importations of Italian works with
Italian singers came before the public
Until nearly the end of the century.

A Wildcats Fight for Life.

While four section men were repair
ing the track of Florida railway, a
large wildcat sprang from the adjoin-
ing woods with all-fours upon the back
of one of the men. The other men
rushed to their companions assistance,
and then 1t required dozen blows
with the pile-maul to make the beast
loose his hold. When the cat finally
ran away, the exasperated men fol-
lowed it up the track, and were sorry
for it, because the cat turned on them.
For five minutes he sprang from one to
the other, biting and clawing, until
felled with a blow from crowbar.
Then they finished it, and the men ad-
iourned to dress their wounds.

The two birds began an extemporizad
dance around the circle, hopping liiIe
eagles, first on one foot, then on the
other, uttcring low and vicious hiss.
Around they went, pecking at the
ropes, thrusting forward their bare
and ugly heads, and apparently sub
dued.
But it was only for a moment As
if by concerted plan they hurled them
selves at the horses, one on one side
and one on the other, coming up
against the animals with great force,
striking them with their ponderous
wings and pecking at them with their
powerful bills.
This onslaught again demoralized
one of the horses, SO that, rearing to
escape the charge, he fell baclSwar |.
His rider slipped off in time, while the
broncho rolled over and over, en-
tangled in the reata. The bird, prob
ably equally frightened, sprang over
his body, and, between a fusillade of
kicks from the struggling animal, en-
deavored again to fly. But the rope
held it securely, and even a California
condor, with a spread of ten feet of
wing, could not carry off horse; SO
it was forced to come clumsily to the
ground.
The riders, now recovered from their
confusion, amid much laughter-as
this was a rare but famous sport
among native Californians-began to
take in their reatas, and soon had the
great birds so that they were entirely
submissive; and as they were unin-
jured, it was decided to carry them to
Los Angeles. This was accomplished
by carrying bird between two horses,
the wings spread apart to their full
extent, and the tips of the pinions tied
to the saddles. while beneath the
birds, to support them so that they
would not suffer, were placed doubled
reatas.
At first the horses seriously objected
to this arrangement, but finally sub
mitted, and the cavalcade took up it's
march, entering Los Angeles, which
was then an adobe town, and
depositing the condors at the plaza
amid much excitement, the birds be-
coming one of the chief attractions OF
the fiesta.
The California condor was formerly
quite common, and was regarded as an
enemy to the herder, its great size and
voracious appetite making it menace
to sheep. Actual experiment showed
that one o. these birds would devour a
sheep day; and to illustrate their
strength, four have been seen drag
ging young bear, which weighed
over one hundred pounds, for dis
tance of six hundred feet When
gorged with food, the birds found 1t
difficult to fly, and were thus, when
surprised, often taken with the reata.
The California condor is very like its
South American ally in general ap
pearance, not having the peculiar
white collar. 1t is far from being
ferocious, and is easily tanned or do
mesticated. 1t presents an appearance
of rcmarkab BILE strength, and its pow
ers of flight are such that it could
easily carry away Il child or light
animal. Such habits are often laid a,
its door, but are not founded on fact

The idea did not meet with much favor.

The weather conditions noted at
the time of last report have prevail
ed during the week just past with
but slight variation. Showers have
occurred in only few scattered
localities and have been very light.
The hot, dry weather has caused
cotton to open very rapidly and on
this account the crop is being har-
vested sooner than for the average
season. Complaint is even made
of damage to cotton in some in
stances by the hot weather causing
bolls to open before being fully de
veloped.
Corn is beginning to be gathered
and it has become a more or les:
