HOW A SEA TURTLE FEeps.

he Takc" y ~. Esli Of Grass Out Il
s.x with Him.
& With ny gas.ronomic' taste, I nat
urally WAS very curious to know Just
what kind Of t.rrapin are caught In
these waters. for tho dish Is one much
sought after by eplcures and forms
part OF the menu " every first class
hotel on the coast. I was told that
none were caught about here. but was
invited to sea turtle hunt. Let the
reader imagine q turtle Weighing all
the way from 1900 to 1900 pounds
and not long ago one was turned over
on the beach near Miami that weighed
more than 1000 pounds-of course,
I am giving the largest weight, for the
average weight of those caught along
the coast is 500 pounds. After they
are caught the turtles are kept for
long time, their captors feeding them
on cabbages, lettuce. turnips. carrots
and sea grasses, writes Florida cor
respondent for the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The study of this monster she'll
fish is q most interesting one. In or
der to get rid of the parasites that
cling to their shells they often enter
fresh water streams to enjoy q bath,
but they are extremely timid and take
fright at the least noise. The hunter
knows, however, that the turtle feeds
in brackish streams. where the tide
falls rather low and where the turtle
grass grows in great profusion.
The turtles cut great quantities Of this
grass and then roll it into ball, &C.
menting it as they roll it with the clay
in which the grass grows: and In this
way, when they have managed to
amass goodly supply Of provision.
they wait for high tide and float away
seward, feeding as they float. The
professional hunters are quick to de-
tect these balls, and just the moment
they do 80 they set their seines and
send their peggers. as the men are
called, in search OF the feeding
shoals. Men are not the only enemies
the turtles have, however, for bears,
raccoons and other animals native to
Florida destroy great numbers OF
them.
