had been cut off, commenced to curl
up. and If the fringe had not been put
on again quickly they would soon have

Vocation and Avocation.

The word vocation" is derived from
the Latin voco, l CALL vocatus, calling
"Avocation" is derived from avoco, l
call away or divert; avOcatus, calling
away or diverting. A mans calling or
vocation is that for which he has pre-
pared himself. for which he is fitted or
for which he has received call, as we
say especially in regard to religious
vocation. But when a man is called
away-avOcatus-fr his regular en-
ployment and engages in a diversion or
recreation of any kind the word avo-
cation applies to such diversion or call
ing away. The recreation may be of
very serious nature, as some profound
study or arduous work, but 1t is not his
vocation. The schoolboy has no voca-
ton. He is fitting himself for one.
But he may have many avocations.
Gladstone's vocation was statesman
ship; among his avocations were the
study OF the classics. making transla-
tons and sometimes chopping down
trees.-Lond>n NJ. A. P.

The Desert Tortoise,

One Of the most interesting reptiles
of CALIFORNIA; great desert is the des-
ert tortoise. A writer in Suburban
Life says: Il have found as many as
twenty of these hard shelled fellows
that we usually associate in our minds
with the thought Of water in the very
heart Of the desert, where the water
was exceedingly scarce. Yet when you
pick them up they generally void two
or three large spoonfuls of liquid. Dis
section shows that they each have two
large water sacks on the back, and
these afford them their water supply.
They are great travellers and can walk
faster than we should imagine. They
are also good climbers. l have watch
ed one for hours climbing up and
down the rocky sides of a desert
mountain. He could wriggle himself
up to rock almost as high as he was
long. Raising himself on his tail end,
he would use his head as hook,
then claw with his right leg until it
had secured good hold, then, with
what seemed to me extraordinary
strength he would lift himself up and
wiggle his body into secure posi-

Porter Always q Sailor.

During. Grants first term his score
tary of the navy, Borie, for a time
turned The actual administration over
to Admiral Porter. Admiral Porter
was a sailor in the strict genealogical
sense of the term in that he believed
there was nothing like sails. AS soon
as he was in authority he caused the
four bladed propellers Of the vessels
to be removed and replaced by two
bladed ones in order that the ships
might maneuver better under sail. The
fnefticiency thereby brought about is,
of course, apparent to any engineer, as
the size Of the propeller opening was
fixed and the two bladed screw could
not be made large enough. A few years
later in report to the department he
actually claimed that the vessels were
faster under steam with the mutilated
screws. The facts, of course, were just
the reverse and when his influence be-
came less proper prOpellers were again
fitted. This was when he was still in
his prime and his judgment was, at
least, not impaired by age About
twenty years later, when the Roach
cruisers were being built. the dear old
man, then over seventy, went before
the naval committee and said that the
plans Of these vessels were wrong be-
cause they had only auxiliary sail
power. In his judgment they should
have been given full sail power with
steam as an auxiliary. He was still a
sailor! The world had not moved for
him.--Engineering Magazine.
