GIANT MUDTURTLE.
Naphtha Launch Party Has Exciting
Battle with a Monster.

The largest mudturtle ever caught in
Rutland county, VT, if not III that state.
was captured few days ago by Herbert
Vanderwerker of Granville in Lake st.
Catherine. The great creature was
caught only after a struggle which was
full of incident.
Mr. Vanderwerker was making a trip
around the lake in his naphtha launch
with party consisting of his wife, Miss
Madeline Lancaster and u half dozen
friends from New York.
While rounding Hermit's point into
Canoe bay Miss Lancaster drew atten-
tion to something floating in the lake
about 200 feet ahead and almost directly
in the launchs course.
1t looked like n water-soaked log, but
before the launch reached it the object
moved slowly aside for a distance of
ten feet and then became motionless
Mr.. underwater steered so as to run
alongside.
AS the launch passed within n few
feet of the object Miss Lancaster cried
out: ITS some sort of animal" and
Selling the boathOok brought it down
with a sound thump on the rounded sur
face which showed several inches above
the water.
There was a commotion in the water
and it was then seen that the supposed
log was a giant turtle. Instead of diving
the monster remained on the surface.
apparently stunned by the blow from the
boathoOk.
Mr.. Nanderwerker put the launch
about and made straight for the turtle
The amphibian. evidently somewhat re-
covered from Miss Lancaster's blow. did
not disappear, but swan directly toward
the launch. Before Mr. Fanderwerker
could alter her course the bow of the
launch struck the hard shell of the tur-
ties back. The impact made the little
craft trembIe. The turtle lifted its great
head and struck savagely with its beak
at the stem of the launch.
Mrs. Vanderwerker, who is an expert
shot, picked up her husbands rifle, which
lay in locker, and taking quick aim,
sent bullet through the creatures head.
The turtle churned the waters of the Jake
with its fin-like claws for several min
uteS before it became quiet
One of the men in the party slipped
blight of rope around the turtles neck
and it was towed to the Lake St Cath
| crime house. 1t required the strength of
| three men to drag the monster to the
hotel scales. The turtle weighed 263
pounds.
Prof. B. F. Waite of Granville. who
examined the turtle next days, said that.
| judging from the formation of the shell
plates and the thickness of the shell, the
turtle was probably over 200 years old.
Mr. Nanderwerker will have the shell
polished and made into a unique piece
of furniture for his parlor.

The last Danish expedition which was
sent to the polar regions to study the
aurora borealis observed the so-cailed
mother of pearl Clouds" which are de-
scribed in the reports of the Danish
Academy of Sciences. These clouds re-
semble the so-called shining clouds
There formations were given their SIN
gular name by the Norwegian meteorolo-
gist, Prof. Mohn. The Danish scen-
fists twice had an opportunity Of seeing
such celestial phenomena. Once they
succeeded in measuring the distance ol
these clouds above the earth, which was
found to be about forty kilomcters.
The second time measuring was not
possible because all the members OF the
expedition were at one place. but they
were able to make some remarkable o.
servations about the movement OF the
cloud. At first it looked like a HORIZON

English Women and American Girl.

Wisdom OF taking jackets when we went
abroad. The sun was hidden, there were
occasional sprinkles of rain, cold airs

1t was wretched weather. Yet the Eng

theirs is transparent yoke of lace with
