A curious spectacle is afforded daily in
this city. where sixty-rive large tortoises.
which C. NJ. Harris brought recently from
the Galapagos Islands. are fed. The tor
toises were procured for Walter Roths-
child. OF London, and Will be shipped 20
England when the weather becomes
warmer. They lived on cactus at their
island home. Their diet here consists Of
apples, cabbage and grass. Mr.. Harris
every morning puts two large boxes OF
thoroughly ripe apples, half a dom big
cabbages and a sack of freshly cut grass
in the yard for them to feed upon. When
satiated they crawl into the conservatory
to rest and digest their food.
They are kept in a fiorisr's dollhouse, as
high temperature is needed TO keep them
alive The Galapagos islands are on the
equator. where the temperature IL seldom
under 20 degrees. and these tortoises would

child. who is son of Baron Rothschild
for his private museum. which Is said to be
one Of the most interesting III the world.
The expedition 10 the Galapagos cost him
$40 COO
The tortoises are unusually large, some
being six feet long In their shells and five
feet In girth. Twenty-Five Of them are of
the testudo ephippium species. and the
specimens that Harris caught are the only
ones known 10 exist anywhere in the
world. The species belongs to the masto-
donc age. Their hind legs are like the
limbs OF an elephant in form and covering.
The twenty-nine named were found in the
crater Of one OF the dead volcanoes on the
islands. They were restricted in their
travels to this crater and to plateau con-
nected with IL. The nightly Peruvian

In the belief that this would be the
