THE LARGEST TURTLE.
Weighs 1,2oo Pounds and is 'scien
 tifc Curiosity.

Weighs 1,20o Pounds and is 6 'scien-
 tif1c Curiosity.
 The monster turtle, weighing about 1,20O pounds, captured by George Evich in the power launch Bell, is re- ported to be the largest turtle ever known, and the capture is, therefore, considered important from scientific standpoint.
 The turtle belongs to the species Testudo lyra or Sphargfs rnercavialis. This family Is chelonian. The largest marine turtle previously captured was taken in the Galapagos group of is- lands several years ago and was taken to London. It weighed $50 pounds and was known to have been over so years of age. It was still growing at the time of it's death. What the age of the turtle captured by Evich is is a matter Of conjecture, but 1t is estimat- ed at from 100 to 300 years.
 The chelonian family of turtles pos sess tails, but no teeth. Jaws are provided with a horny sheath with hard and sharp edges, forming d beak like a parrots. Marine turtles are l spread over the equatorial and sub- tropical seas and sometimes stray be- 1 yond these limits, being seldom taken above San Diego. The chelonians are diurnai animals, and only few of the l family are active during the night. They are extremely rapid in the water, either to seize prey. or escape danger. | The marine turtle periodically mi I grates to breeding stations. The spe- cies inhabfting temperate waters hi- bernates
 
 The marine turtle possesses great tenacity of life, surviving injuries to which other reptiles would succumb in a short time. The heart of a decapi- tated marine turtle will beat many hours ofter every drop of blood has been drained from the body and the muscles Of the trunk and head show signs or reflex action twenty-four hours after the severing of the spinal cord. Some marine turtles are herhi. vorous and others carnivorous. their prey consisting of fish. frogs and ofh. CT small aquatic animals.
 The limbs are modified into paddles. by means of which they propel them. selves with extraordinary rapiditv through the water, but are unit for locomotion on land, where the progress of these animals Is as awkward as that of seal. The toes are inclosed in q common skin, out of which only one or two claws protect.
 Compara lively few are caught In the open sea, the majority being Intercept ed at well known periods where they go ashore to deposit their GIFTS, These are very numerous. from 100 to 15C being produced from one female and buried in the sand. These eQgy are usually covered with a hard thicl, shell.-Los Angeles Times.

Though financial conditions have much improved, the same can hardly be said of general business and indus try, both of which are handicapped by high prices and high costs of produc- tion, says Banker Clews in his weekly letter. The process of readjustment however, is already under way Pig iron has had heavy fall, and finished iron products must soon accept the in evitable, although prices are still held up by trust influences and contracts de- layed in consequence A great deal of work is also postponed by the excessive demands of labor; but these, too, must be modified by the inevitable leveling down process which has already set in. Cotton and cotton goods are also de- clining, and thus facilitating re-estab- lishment of the industry upon sound CT basis than heretofore. This process of readjustment. painful as it is, must be faced, and the less it is resisted the better for all. Costs of production are altogether too high. and the cost of liv- 4hs5 CNAAlACL DG AC0ttIC0 u11Sl1 t1CSG SOulG down from the excessively high level of the past few years. As soon as those who take the initiative find val ues settled upon more normal basis business improvement will succeed present depression Good crops this fall will be the most important factor in any Improvement. Crop failures would be national disasters, not only as affecting our foreign trade and our agriculture as the chief basis of our prosperity, but also because of the ef, feet upon prices of food products which are already very high for the reason that demand is overriding sup ply Hence, our particular need this year is good crops.

Remarkable Echo.

An ordinary echo is curious thing; but, according to the statements of a Frenchman at watering place in the Pyrenees. one echo on the Franco Spanish frontier Is 30 far from or dinary that 1t must have started In America.

The question of the legality of Sun day evening betrothals is scarce likely material to lessen Cupid's seventh day labors. Tie legality of such contracts is not, often so very carefully consid- cred until after they are made, any way; and the Sabbath atmosphere is often such a tempting foretaste of the peace and tranquility of matrimony.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that's by constitution
al Re NEEDLES. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafnrss is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.
