POINTS ABOUT TURTLES.
fhsy Are Not so much Like One Az
other as Many People Think.


In moist places in the fields and
meadows may Ice found the wood tor
toise. sober sort OF turtle OF a brown
or reddish brown color above, the shell
having a ridge In its middle along the
back, says Nature Study. Each plate OF
the shell underneath has black
blotch.
In mud holes and In small ponds, Of
ten resting on log or stone above the
water. one may almost always lind the
painted turtle, which has the margin
of the shell marked red, while the shell
underneath IL yellow. These turtles
are not 90 easily captured as the wood
turtles, for they are rather timid and
often slip into the water when APP
preached, but with patience and In
genuity they can be outwitted at last
and one secured for examination.
II will be rare good fortune 10 find
turtle at a meal and see him hold his
food, sometimes with one fore foot,
sometimes with the other, but never
with both at once, as cats and dogs
often do.
After watching him for awhile try 10
find whether he always draws his tail
I'm on the ~ me side Of his box house.
Experiment with the same turtle over
and over; then sometimes try other tur-
ties In the same way and find ont for
yourself whether turtles vary In this
matter Of hiding away their tails. This
IL more important than you can imag
Inc. If all the animals and plants OF
the same sort were always the same
there would never be any change In
the living world.
Count the toes on the fore feet and
on the hind feet, noticing whether
there are the same number all around.
As you find other turtles, particularly
I'm different parts OF the country, IL you
travel about, or In such museums as
you can visit. see what differences you
can find In this matter OF the number
and arrangement OF turtles toes. II IL
not so silly M IL may appear to somo
people. Notice also that some turtles
have webbed feet, TO enable them to
swim the better.
Manage in some way to open the tur-
ties mouth and find whether II has
teeth, or only bard and rather sharp
cutting edges along the jaws. Touch
the eyes gently with a small stick and
soc the turtle draw n thin skin over
them. This is the third eyelid, the same
as In hens, pigeons and birds generally.
Notice that the feet and tail are COW
cred with scales; then some time exam
ine the foot Of hen or pigeon and see
that they are scaly also. In this mat
ter OF the third eyelid and the scales
the birds and the turtles have features
I'm common. Perhaps some time you
will learn how II happened and will
find It very interesting story.-New
