THE TURTLES CUNNING.

Although not credited with n high
degree of intelligence. say the London
Globe. the turtle when about to deposit
its eggs exhibits considerable cunning,
1t scoop out a hole as If to prepare
a repository for its eggs but in order
to delude birds and other enemies the
turtle throws the sand again into the
hole, leaving the surface rough, and
waddles off to another spot, where 1t
repeats the process. Sometimes this Is
done three times. and eventually the
eggs are laid in an excavation within a
few yards of the sham nest, the u .
face being smoothed and ~iattensd
down.
When hunting for the eggs the
Queensland blacks probe the sand in
the vicinity OF one Of the sham nests
and are usually successful.
