Long before he reached London his

and bitterly he rued the wrong he had
done his brother and the mess he had

go back and apologize as he ought.
Not a penny of that cursed money

Mr.. Granville thinks that only trifing al
terations would be required to adapt locomo-
tive furnaces to its use. No kindling is nee
essary.
The blocks may be made 80 as to consist
of the pure Granville product. or they can
be composed of a mixture of the same with
coaldust. sawdust, peat or other such ma
terfaI. The latter is unnecessary to insure
soiidity. however, and any aumixture re-
duces the heating power. Thus crude Beau
mont oil has Il value OF from 1850 to q, 900
British thermo units, with 1880 as a fair
average.
MIR. Granville declares that a pure bri-
quette made by his process shows the same
efficiency. while its heating value is one
third greater than thatJof anthracite coal
1t might be deemed desirable to INTRODUCES
other combustible material, to reduce the
rapidity of consumption.

to a man a backbone is of the greatest inn
portance. not only to carry the nerves and
blood vessels, but to support the entire
body. In turtles alone the string of verte-
brae is unnecessary. the shell giving all
the support needed.
So, as nature seldom allows unused It's
sues or organs to remain. these bones along
the back become. in many species, reduced
to a mere thread.
The pieces of bone or horn which 90 TO
make up the shell. although so different in
appearance from skin, yet have the same
life processes. Occasionally it molts or peels,
the outer part coming off in great fakes.
GROW IN RINGS.
Each piece grows by the addition of
rings of horn at the joints. and dixie the
rings of a tree) the age of turtles. except
very old ones. can be told by the number
or circles of horn on each piece.
The rings are very distinct in species
they are compelled TO hibernate during the
winter. and this cessation OF growth marks
the intervals between each ring.
In tropical turtles the rings are absent
or indistinct.
1t is to this mode of growth that the
spreading OF initials which are cut into thu
shell is due, just as letters carved on the
run of trees in time broaden and bulge
outward.
The shell has the power of regeneration.
and when a portion Is torn away or crushed
the injured parts are gradually cast off, and
from the surrounding edges u new covering

Turtles are found on the sea and on the

we will use the name turtles as significant

THEIR MASSIVE SKULLS.
The most natural way of classifying these
creatures is by the way the head and neck
are drawn back under the shell; whether
the head is turned to one side o. drawn
straight back. bending the neck into a let
ter S shape.
The k of the turtle is massive. and
some have thick. false roofs on top of the
usual brain box.
The house or shell of a turtle is made
up of separate pieces of bone, a central row
along the back, and others arranged around
on both sides.
These are really pieces of the skin of the
back changed 10 bone. Our ribs are d.
rectly under the skin Of the back. and If
substance, the ribs would lie fat against
1t. and this is the case with the ribs of
turtles.
So when We marvel that the ribs of a
turtle are on TIE outside of its body. a
second thought will show that this is jus,
as true of MS as of these reptiles.
This hardening of the skin has brought
about some interesting changes in the body
