to man and for his courage, was. on
the 9th of May, 1894, solemnly reward
ed by the Society for the Protection Of
Animals with a collar of honor has
just fallen a victim to his fidelity to

Der, the capture of a murderer. the
saving of child 13 years old who was
drowning in the Marine, and the saving
of the life of a man who had thrown
himself into the Seine from the Pont

him to Madame Foucher de Careil She
kept him at her residence near Corbefl,

representative creatures of the archl-

was not quite as devoid of incident as
one might imagine. Both food and
water are more common on the higher
parts of the islands-which are extinct
volcanoes-than near the coast. Fresh
water, indeed. is only found up in the
hills. and as the tortoises are very fond
of water they have to make long and
uphill Journeys TO reach it. They
make broad and well-beaten paths
