The Desert Tortoise.

One of the most interesting rep
tiles of California's great desert is
the desert tortoise. l have found as
many as twenty OF these hard
shelled fellows. that we usually as,
soeiate 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. Dissection shows that they
each have two large water sacks on
the back, and these AFFORD them their
water supply. They are great travel
ers and can walk faster than we
should imagine; they are also good
climbers. | have watched one for
hours climbing up and down the
rocky sides OF a desert mountain.
He could wiggle himself up a rock
almost as high as he was long.
Raising himself on his tail end, he
would use his head as q hook, then
claw with his right leg until it had
secured a good hold; then, with
what seemed to me extraordinary
strength, he would lift himself up
and wiggle his body into a secure
position. Suburban Life.

FOUND TREASURE IN ceLLfs
shoemakers May Have DisNove, 4
Hoard Hidden by MONKS.

A curious story is gong the round:
at Limoges, France. and has come Il
light through an anonymous letter an
nouncing certain alleged fsctS " the
police authorities. 1t is asser,c1 that
in 1901 two sAoemakers named Yalette
and Tricard, while effecting some re,
pairs to the cellar II the house they
occupied. discovered a treasure -
sisting Of sum of money and lrInDA-
Gus valuable books.
The particular part of Limoges
where the residence of tie shoemakera
was situated stands on the site of an
ancient monastery, and 1t is thought
that the treasure found may have
been hidden by the monks. Just what
truth there is in the reported dlscov.
cry is not yet known, but it is as
serted that the two shoemakers, who
were previously konvn to be IN
straitene1 circumstances, have of re
cent years lived on quite different
footing and have been able to pur
chase numerous house properties In
the district.
Their landlord is now taking pro
ceedings with a view of testing the
accuracy OF the local gossip and Of
claiming the treasure or at least .
Part of it.
