on a car leaving the East Broadway
barnes but refused, telling Chief

Cold Air at tho Equator.

At the international conference on
scientific aeronautics, held recently in
Milan, Mgr. Teisserenc de Bort pre-
sented some interesting results OF the
expedition to the equatorial regions of
the Atlantic organized by himself and
Lawrence Rotch. Contrary to expecta-
tions, he said, they had found far low
er temperatures in the. upper air above
the equator than at corresponding ele-
vations in temperate latitudes. At the
equator the temperature goes on ;.
creasing up to the greatest elevations
attained by kites and balloons. At the
height of eight to eight and half
miles temperatures were recorded as
low AS minus SO degrees centigrade or
liz degrees II. below zero.

The Hawkbin Turtle.

Turtle soup and tortoise shell combs
come from the hawkbill turtle Of
the gulf Of Mexico and the Caribbean
sea. This turtle Is recognized by the
low, wide head, long, narrow mouth,
the upper jaw prolonged and hooked
like the beak Of hawk. The shell Is
fattenedr and serrated behind, with
five vertebral and eight latent plates
overlapping one another like scales of
fish. The color 10 yellowish above,
mottled with chestnut brown and vel
lowjsh white below. Young turtles
have black spot on the four rear
pairs Of plates. Old turtles have thin
yellow plate on the belly, which is
much sought after and commands a
higher price. This hawkbill turtle
feeds on seaweeds, crabs. mollusks and
fish. Being mostly carnivorous, tho
meat is not considered wholesome.

ADJUSTABLE DESK.

sition. Nevertheless school children
are more Oh less prone to become round
shouldered.
A Rhode Island man attributes this
to the fact that in all schoolrooms the
desks are Invariably Of one height, nc
effort being made to regulate the height
OF the desk to the size of the child
using the desk. Naturally all the chill
dren in class are not Of one size, and
a desk that Is exactly suited to one
child will not do for another. AS q
remedy for this evil he has des, gned a
desk which can be quickly adjusted te
any height desired. This Is done by
placing adjusting screws in each leg
SO that the desk can be changed to ac
commodate large or small children.
