CATCHING TURTLES.
Methods Csee by the sEtssor@ss C

the Tropics.
Turtles are always captured at night
and usually on moonlight ones This
ls the time they go on the shore to lay
their eggs. They select smooth,
sandy beach dig holes in the sand, de.
posit their eggs there and leave them
to be Matched by the heat of the sand.
When the turtles are on shore for this
purpose hunters come upon them, and
they are easily overtaken. for turtles
are slow movers. The hunters have
not very strenuous undertaking All
that Is necessary to be done Is to turn
the turtles on their backs and leave
them until the next day, when they are
| removed.
Another more curious way of catch
| ing turtles Is by fishing by the remora,
Hsh found in the tropical waters The
| popular name of this fish and the one
| by which the children OF those coun-
tries call them Is the sucking fsh. This
name is given to them on account Of u
disk on their heads, by which they can
attach themselves to any smooth sur
face, like the side of a shark. ship
or the shell of turtle This disk is
Ike the soft leather suckers that are
popular with schoolboys When this
fish has once attached himself to any.
thing you can pull him to pieces rather
than force him to release his hold.
Turtle hunters go in boats and carry
several Of these remoras In tubs. When
they see turtle and get near him the
sucker is sent after him. He Is held
by the ring on his tail. which In turn
Is attached by stout cord. Soon the
fish Is securely fastened to the shell
of the turtle, and turtle and flsh are
hauled into the boat together. Once in
thelair the remora loosens his hold and
is dropped back into tho tub to rest
until another turtle Is sighted. Wash.

Made and what They show.
Does II appear that any one has pre-
pared from sterillzed bOuillOn By the

living organisms capable OF multiply
ing either by repeated subdivision or
by means Of spores or capable OF pro-
ducing definite fermentlve changes
such as those which we associate with
go many Of the organisms hitherto in
veStigatedl The answer jumps straight
10 the lips. No such discovery has been
recorded nor has anything been OBJ
served which would justify US In sup
posing that we are on the verge Of
mailing such discovery at the present
moment
The fact is that. though much has
been written and among other things
quite big book. very little has really
been accomplished up to the present.
\ few preliminary experiments sug-
gested by the marvellous qualities OF
radium have been made. and that Is
all Those experiments and their re-
suits, which are not at all revolution
airy, may be described I'm half n dozen
sentences. Mr.. Burke finds that when
small quantities Of radium bromide or
chloride are scattered on the surface Of
carefully sterllized bOullon well pro
tected from the air i'm closed vessels
minute objects appear in the bouillon
after one or two days.
These objects have been watched.
and Mr.. Burke reports that after their
first appearance they develop into two
dots. next present the appearance OF
dumbbells and subsequently, Of bis
cults. afterward take on forms which
remind an observer Of frogs spawn
and finally divide. lose their Individual

should do. when they are transferred
