cHLoRoFoRMlNe a TURTLE.
An Old Snapper Put to Sleep For Short
Time,

An Old Snapper Put to Sleep For Short
Time.
I decided to chloroform large
snapper and endeavor to learn some
thing of the action of the lungs and
whether it could resist death in this
form At the first application of the
saturated sponge to the snapper's
nose he darted and seized it in his
strong mandibles and jcrked it into
his shell. Then I had him, and in
due time, by constant attention and
with an outrageous expenditure of
chloroform, ! completely subdued
the old fighting mossback. At last
the ludicrous sight of thoroughly
ansesthetized swapping turtle was
presented. 1t was an amusing spec
tacle-this savage turtle, lying limp
and apparently lifeless. l opened
its sharp, hooked jaws and freely
handled his powerful but now nerve
less legs. This fellow, an@sthe-
tized, with his fabby legs and lolling
head, looked much like the old dead
mossbacks which are found about
the margins of ponds each spring.
Finally, after the application OF
the chloroform was discontinued for
length of time, his serviceable but
i'll looking flippers began to vibrate
spasmodically, very soon ono of the
closed eyes was exposed and then
the other, much after the manner of
the opossum in emerging from ono
of its voluntary lothargic spells. In
time it perfectly recovered and again
gave evidence Of its innate vicious
ness by savagely biting at every
thing as before. 1t is probable that
a swapping turtle could be ultimate
ly killed by constant application and
the expenditure of large quantities
of chloroform, but it is not readily
done, as l convinced myself. The
reason for this is evident. AS soon
as the turtle comes under the inf1u-
ence of the drug it lapses into a
state not inaptly comparable to the
condition i'll which it passes the cold
months. In Information it probably
breathes much less frequently, and
also when under the influence of
chloroform ceases to breathe to
largo extent. This the turtles and
other reptiles can do, as they are
cold blooded and do not require the
constant supply Of fresh air that is
indispensable to birds and other
warm blooG.d creatures.
We may say that tho voluntary
act of stopping the respiration when
below the surface of the water cor
responds to the involuntary cessa-
ton which systematically results
from annsthesia. Therefore,
whether confined at the bottom of q
pool or subjected to the continued
effects of an anasthetic, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that water tur-
tie, either the snapper or leather
back, could resist death for long
time. If the snapper and soft she'll
spend tho colder months in the mud
and water, and this is stated as a
fact by many writer's, then the orea-
lures must surely cease breathing
during their Information or else
adopt an entirely different form Of
respiration from the one made use
of when on land. Interesting ex-
periments might be mado to ascer-
tain whether tho swapping turtle
takes its winter sleep in the mud,
dry earth or water. - American

PLANT oF.THE HEROINE OF FICTION.


once had lovely golden hair.
Or raven halr-no matter which.
was as good and sweet and fair
AS any angel in niche.
Or, il did little wrong,
1t was to prove me human still.
My feelings were extremely strong,
But had disciplined my will.
A change has come-and what q changed
With awful problems am vexed,
From crime to crime reckless range,
know not what will happen next.
From frantic voc to frantic bliss,
From frantic wrath to frantic glee--
] never wished to be like thisl
can't make out what's come to mel
Gone are my gayety and cheer,
Gone is my hero bold and true,
In my hysterical career
/ very often long for you!
Now ME, Gil other woes above,
My bitter destiny compels
To wed man / do not love,
Then fell in love with some one else.
Yet me how would you recognize,
o Hero, If you met me now?
What scorn would Tighten from your eyes
anu cOTFuSdts your manly DrO"l
The modern hero have found,
Upon the whole do not like.
He's either stupid or unsound,
And if were not worse I'd strike.
But am worso-I never guessed
How bad could be till tried,
Compelled too often to arrest
My headlong course by suicide,
And though l cease from guilt and slang,
A fresh reprieve fain would beg,
For other authors seem to hang d.
Theories on ME like peg.
An, yet long little share
OF happiness and love to find.
Again would be gay and fair,
Loyal and chiyalrous and kind!
Ali do not bid me rant and rave.
All! do not bid me preach and bore
Give back my Hero, true and brave,
Whom shall love forever more.
