THE LEATHERBAcK TURTLE
Large Member of an Ancient Reptile
Family Captured on the At
lantic Coast.

A giant leatherback turtle was
received at the American Museum
of Natural History few days ago.
1t is said to be the first that has
been taken along the Atlantic
coast in 10 years, as we'll as the
largest ever brought to shore in
this country.
This one weighs ZIG pounds. 1t
was caught off Block Island and
was presented to the museum by
G. NJ. Long n Co., of New Lon
don. 1t was alive when brought
in from the sea, but died shortly
after being landed. a wound from
a harpoon shows just over the left
shoulder.
Upon its arrival at the museum
il was taken to the basement,
where the museum artist made
sketch of it for the official records.
Experts in reptilian genealogy
say that the leatherback family
il a most ancient one and that il
Adam had ever gone down to the
seashore he might have seen one
of them. The family can boast of
an older line even than that of the
serpent that tempted Eve. The ex-
perts say that the leatherback is
the Oldest reptile family in the
world.
Leatherback is an everyday
name. When the men who know
all about its history get to talk
ing about it they refer to it as
Dermocbelys coriacia, name not
conferred on it by Adam afore-
said. Proof that the family is the
most ancient among reptiles is
that the spinal column has no fixed
attachment to the shell as in the
case of more modern turtles that
have evoluted.
"The museum was very glad to
get so rare turtle" said Prof.
George Ell. Sherwood, one of the
curators. sit is the most primitive
of reptiles now with us. There was
one caught in the Indian ocean
some years ago that was larger.

CALIFORNIA cERANIUMs.
Why This State Should Beat the World
at Raising This Common
Flower.

1t is singular fact that we
Californians neglect the gerani-
um. Fasteners envy us because
the geraniums grow up to the sec
ond story of house, and visitors
say that a five-foot hedge Of red
geraniums is one Of the most brill
liant sights on earth. Why don't
we have more hedges like this !?
And why don't we have more and
better geraniums everywhere in
stead Of coddling rare plants that
are not adapted TO our conditions I?
No-other plant, native or foreign,
seems to be so perfectly at home
with us as the much-neglected ge-
ranium, says the Garden Maga
zine.
Anyone who explores our foot

The geranium is valuable for its
foliage effect alone-for massing
in our dryer and more barren
spots-yet the geranium with US,
as everywhere, is distinctly flow

due, no doubt, to the ease with
which it can be grown.
The novelty Of being able to
grow geraniums out of doors
every month in the year appeals
very strongly to the newcomer,
who has known it only as a much.

sees the possibilities Of our eli.
mate, something less common
something impossible Of success.
