Thts oussr Creature Enjoys Many p.

ITO be or not to be-a turtle? To be

clares one who speaks with knowledge
Of his subject. "Basking in tropical
suns or cruising lelsurely in cool
depths. the turtle has an exceedingly
good time. AS soon as the baby turtle
emerges from the egg he scuttles down
to the sea. He has no one to teach
him. no one to guide. In his little brain
there is implanted streak Of caution,
based on the fact that until certain
period his projecting armor is soft
and no defense against hungry fish,
and he Immediately seeks shelter in
the tropical profusion Of the gulf weed,
which holds within its branching
fronds an astonishing abundance of
marine life.
Here the young turtle feeds unmo.
Tested and knows that his armor is
hardening apace. Once he has attained
the weight Of twenty-five pounds he
may cheek freely any monster Of the
deep. After that no fish or mammal
ever interferes with him. Intending
devourers may struggle all day to
break through his iron SHE'LL They al.
ways fail.
THE turtle, like the sperm whale.
has but one enemy-man Now even
that sperm whale must come pretty
frequently to the surface to breathe,
and If 1t got beached high and dry on
land what would become of it? But
the cheerful turtle can stay below the
surface for week If he wants to, and
he often does. while If he had to spend
an equal time on land he would enjoy
the change and be none the worse for
1t. He Is neither fish. flesh nor fowl,
yet his flesh partakes Of the character

Eating seems mere superhuity
with him, since for weeks at time he
may be placed in a barrel. with the

fast apparently none the worse for his
enforced abstinence from food, from
light and almost from air. Of all the
warm blooded organisms there is none
so tenacious of life as the turtle. Inju.
ries that would be instantly fatal even
to fish leave the turtle apparently un-
disturbed, and his power of keeping
death at bay is nothing short of mar
velous."

AN EFFECTIVE SERMON.
Trumpet Blast That Drove the People
to Repentance.

Trumpet Blast That Drove the People
to Repentance.
Old Peter Cartwright was q famous
preacher and circuit rider many years
ago.
The exhOrter was holding q camp
meeting in Ohio. There was great
number of campers on the field, and
the eccentric speaker addressed vast
concourses at every service. but he
thought too few were being converted
He felt that something should be done
to stir the sinners to repentance, so
he prepared a strong sermon on the
second coming Of Christ He told how
the world would 60 on in its sin and
wtckedness and at last Gabriel would
sound his trumpet and time would
come to an end. He described the
horrors of the lost and the joys of
those who We're saved. The sermon
grew in intensity. and he brought his
people up to a grand climax. when sud-
denly the sound Of a trumpet smote
the ears of tie anxious throng
There was great sensation. and
many fell upon their knees in terror
and began to repent and pray. Women
screamed and strong men groaned.
PandeMOnium was let loose for a few
minutes. After the terror had some
what ceased the preacher called to a
man up tree. and he descended with
a long tin horn in his hand. The
speaker then turned in fierce wrath
and upbraided the people, He cried
out in stentorian tones that, if man
with tin horn up a tree could
frighten them so, how would it be in
the last great end when Gabriel's
trumpet sounded the knell of the world!
The sermon had great effect upon
the vast audience, and many hundreds
focked to the front and were con-
verified

II. j. Coe, of the University Of
Michigan, one Of the fastest mile run
ners in America to-day, has declared
through college and expects to find no

Lawson Robertson and Harvey
Cohn, Of the Irish-Amercan A. c.,
have both been talking retirement for
some time. Cupid has winged both of
these flyers, and 1t will not be sur
prising to hear that they have decided
to Chuck athletics. Another Irish
American who will be forced out be-
fore long Is Charley Bacon, who won
the 400-metre hurdle race at London.
Bacon's business will probably tie him
down in the future, and having a

more than likely that the lank Brook

Nathan Cartmell, after a long and
honorable career as one Of America s

OIL YMPIANS TO RETIRE.


Following the news that J. P. Hal
sted, of Cornell university, the one
mile intercollegiate champion, is about
to retire from athletics, comes the
rumor that several more prominent
members of the American Olympic
team that swept the board at London
will hang up their shoes and race no
more. OF course, these men have
made no official announcement of
their decisions to quit athletics, but
their intentions have become known
through their conversations on the
subject with other members of the
Olympic team.
], c. Carpenter is mentioned as one
of those who will go no more to the
races Carpenter is satisfied that he
won fairly-run race in the 400-metre
event at London, and is content to re-
tire on his laurels

II the plans OF Hotchkiss and Her
man, the we'll known bowling promot-

reason to believe that they WILL no
bowler In this town will ever again
think of the Interstate league. One
OF the largest bowling leagues in the
country is the Eastern league. which
New Haven will now have chance
to enter as, according to the officials.
It is soon TO be enlarged and
two teams will be accepted. Bridge
port has about decided to go into the
Eastern league and New Haven will
probably be the other team. The fol-
lowing are the teams already In the
league: New York. Brooklyn, Newark,
Jersey City. Elizabeth, Trenton Two
more teams are needed to complete
the eight wanted for the league.
Charles Johnson will soon go 10
New York to attend a meeting of the
directors OF the Eastern league to be
held at the Universal alleys. Mr..
Johnson will complete all arrange
ments to have New Haven enter the
league. If the arrangements can be
completed and New Haven Joins the
Eastern league local bowlers will ge,
a chance to see some Of the best bowl
ers in the country, including John
Voorhees,, the national champion.
In the Eastern league there is two
men, three men and team champion
ship, while In the Inter state there is
only team championship.
The Tuxedo alleys where It Is plan
ned to have the Eastern league roll
will open for the first time this sea
son to-day The alleys have been
greatly improved. Games will be roll
ed In this city once week, If the loca
team Is entered in the league
