One Of the most interesting reptiles
of California's great desert is the des-
ert tortoise. A writer in Suburban
Life says: II 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. have watch

down the rocky sides Of desert
mountain. He could wriggle himself
up to 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 secure posi-

! During Grants first term hiS socre-
,tAry Of the. navy. Borie, for q time
turned the actual administration over
to Admiral Porter. Admiral Porter
was q 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 maneuyer better under sail. The
ine6iciency thereby brought about In,
Of course, apparent to any engineer, AZ
the size Of the propeller opening was
fixed and the two bladed screw could
not be made large enough. A few years
later in a 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 q
sailor!. The world had not moved for
him.-Engfneering Magazine.
