MEMORY OF
Lay Their Eggs Almost In the Same
Place Year After Year.


During the summer months from
May to August the big sea turtles lay
their eggs on the beach. They come
possibly hundreds Of miles, and If I'M
disturbed will land within a few yards
Of the same place year after year.
They crawl up the beach in the night
and make their nest in the sand just
above high water mark. l have watch
ed them from behind a sandhill but a
few feet away.
They dig the hole with their hind
iippers, and after covering 1t over.
first filing it with eggs, they will go a
few feet and make another place, / al
ways thought as a blind, for one looks
just like the other. They lay each
month, usually during the high tides Of
that month, beginning In May and
ending In August, from 80 to 1S5 eggs.
During the summer l found and
brought into camp 2,755 eggs. I put
some In the sand near our camp, and
In twenty-seven days the top eggs
Matched, the rest In three days more.
The little turtles would dig out, raise
their little heads and sniff the air a
moment, then start for the river, 100
yards away. 1t was always a mys-
terry to mi how a turtle could find the
h same place on the shore when a short
distance out at sea 1t all looks alike

The $4,000 appropriation for a
Vermont exhibit at the jamestown
exposition has not yet received the
approval of the legislature, and the
matter of profitable expenditure of
the money should have some consid-
Grafton. A building would take most
of the appropriation, and wouldn't
go far toward advertising Vermont's
attractions and her wealth in the
hills and forests. But Vermont has
n good deal to show-her marble,
granite, maple sugar and apples, and
so on through the list-and it might
quite as proftably be housed in an
economical way, and without the ex-
pense of a marble OF granite monu-
ment. A fair share Of an appropria-
ton might well be devoted 10 print
ed matter in exploitation of Yer
mont water power, industrial at
fractions, and her scenery, and thus
take a step toward letting the whole
country know all about them. A
thorough campaign of advertising
would bring returns.

THE LEGISLATURE.

There was a small attendance i'll
both houses when the legislature
convened last Monday after the
Thanksgiving recess, and the two
short sessions were more or less per-
functory. Some business was trans
acted, however.
IMPORTANT WORK AHEAD.
The impression is becoming gen
eral that, with such important legis-
lation before it the legislature will
find the usual two weeks not enough
in which to handle the necessary
amount of business. Among the
measures to be passed upon are
double taxation, reorganization Of
the state highway and state railroad
commissions, the weekly payment
law, which has not passed the SEN
ate, various fish and game laws, the
proposed amendment to the local OPP
ton law and measures affecting the
farmer, such as the hedgehog bill.
A new railroad bill supplementary
to others previously introduced, was
brought into the House Tuesday. 1t
relates to the organization and con-
struction of railroads. One section
gives to the railroad commission con-
troll of the matters of heating all pas
senger cars.
A DRASTIC MEASURE.
Mr.. Brady of Essex introduced a
bill to punish officials for neglect OF
duty; maximum penalty for any
state, county, town, village, fire dis
trict, or school district officer who
neglects his duty, one years impris-
onment and fine of $Iooo-ordered
to lie and be printed.
ELEMENTARY AGRICULTURE.
The Senate on Tuesday killed the
bill passed by the House before
Thanksgiving providing for instruc-
ton in elementary agriculture in
public schools.
EMPLOYERS LIABILITY BILL.
In the Senate Tuesday the senate
bin to limit the liability Of employers
to employees, was finally ordered to
third reading by yea and nay vote
of Is to II.
