BIG TURTLE CAPTURED.
The Monster Weighed Three Hundred
and Fifty.Two Pounds.
Bangor (Me.l Commercial.

All Portland is interested in the cap
tuTe owe" there Of q monster s,a turtle
weighing 3G2 pounds. Turtles are very
rarely found in northern waters, aud
how this one managed to stray 30 far
away from home is a mystery.
lie is evidently an old fellow, for his
shell is deeply scanned and in places is
covered with barnacles. He has also
done considerable fighting in his day, for
one of his fippers is badly demoralzed
and there is also good sized piece OF
shell missing from his beak He siren
uously sisted the efforts to make him a
captive nd fought desperately.
Early Friday morning John Pettingill,
who livts at Cliff Island, put off in a
dory to pui some lobster pots. While
he was thus engaged his attention was
attracted by large black object only a
short distance away which was slowly
moving through the water. Mr.. Pet
tirgill could not imagine what it was
but decided to investigate.
The turtle evidently was hard OF hear
ing and was therefore easy to approach.
When the dory was near enough Mr.
p, ttingil poked an oar at him to see if
he was feeling lively. The turtle
promptly showed that he was, for he
seized the blade in his beak and crushed
it into bits, after which he disappeared
below the surface.
Mr.. Prttingill waited for him to rise,
and then decided to make an attempt to
capture him He accordingly made a
slip moose in a strong rope, and, stealth
lily approaching the turtle, managed to
slide it over one OF his llippers.
The next thing was to turn him over
on his back, but this proved to be far
from an easy task. A fierce struggle en-
sued fol some minutes between the man
and the turtle, in the course of which
the turtle bit large chunk out of the
rail OF the dory. At last he became ex-
hausted and Mr.. Pettingill succeeded in
turning him over, aud he then towed
him ashore.
The turtle was brought to Portland in
Hsmpden boat and landed at lobster
shop, where he was viewed by large
and curious crowd during the afternoon
What the eventual disposition Of the
turtle will he is hard to say, but it is only
natural TO inf r that he will eventually
find himself Sin the soup"

AROUND THE WORLD QUICKLY.
Scheme of a French Inventor for the
Worlds Fair of 1900.

What new montrosity could be desired
for the year 1900, which would make the
Eifel tower and the Ferris wheel seem
insignificant ? The answer is ready, so
the French papers tell us, in the idea of
a mechanician, NJ. Borgel-C Cont, to build
a gigantic sphere which shall be exactly
as may be counterfeit the earth, accord
ing to a writer in Scribner's.
On its surface all the countries of the
globe, the cities, mountains, seas and
rivers, are to be represented with faith
full confguration, while the interior is to
be devoted to representations of the
physical characteristics and civilizations
mapped on the surface-natives, trees,
animals, minerals, manufacturing prod
ucts, building, etc. In each country the
travellers eye will meet with only the
objects Indigenous to that land. The
journey about the structure is TO te
made by means Of elevators and electric
railways. The round tour of the globe
is scheduled to occupy eighty minutes-
an irresistibls figure to compatriot of
Jules Verne. Starting from Paris, the
tourists are convey ed by train to Geneva,
and thence by tunnels to the different
countries of Europe, the east, America,
Australia and Africa, completing their
globe-trot in petto by return to Paris,
which occupies the highest point OF the
sphere, and supports great figure of the
French republic.
This port, Gus reminder o. our
geography classes is to be nearly 500
feet in diameter, or roughly, one-eighty-
thousandth as large as the original and
more inconyenient earth. The plan is
to set the globe on frame which will
bring the extreme height to nearly 800
feet-an imposing natural monster it
should be.-Owensboro Messenger.
