In some of the cemeteries of Mexico

Guanajuato is widely noted for its
catacombs. A large underground

Rhode Island Students Secure One Of
the Largest Fresh Water Rep
tiles Ever Caught.

Providence, R. Three students
OF the Rhode Island Agricultural col
lege the other day captured in Thirty
Acre lake one of the largest fresh wa
ter turtles ever seen in this state.
The turtle weighs 60 pounds and
measures three feet across. Its neck
is four inches through and in snap
ping the spread of it's jaws is over
three inches. Four large fangs that
would do credit to a bulldog grow
In the jaw.
The students s. H. Cabot and L. II.
Herresnoff, of Bristol. and A. L. Thorn
ley of Pawtucket, were crossing the
lake In a canoe. Reaching a stream
which serves as an outlet to the lake
they skirted down it, when large
head emerged from the reeds and at
tracted their attention. One of the
boys seized paddle and punched at
the head. What looked like a canoe
bottom came to the surface and the
paddle was seized by the turtle The
Jaws closed on it, there was a crunch
ing sound and the paddle fell in two
pieces.
The sudden release caused the
canoe to overturn and the three stu
dents were in water and mud well
over their heads. The turtle was
right In their midst and was so bad
ly frightened that It made for shore
with the boys following. When all
came to shallow water the turtle was
pried out of the mud and taken home
to verify the extraordinary adventure
Professor Barlow of the college zoo
logical department saw the reptile
and said it was by far the largest of
its kind he has ever seen. He also
said that it probably Is of great age

rifying as possible to the visitors.
When Guanajuato became the scene
of great mining activity few years
ago, caused by the advent of many
Americans, the newcomers made pro-
test to the government authorities of
the horrifying spectacle in the under
ground chamber. In response to this
protest the authorities issued an order
that these skeletons must be clothed
SO as to hide their shimmering bones
from the eyes of the visitors to the
place. The effect of this order is to
make the occupants of the chamber
more grotestque and terrifying than
when their nakedness was exposed.
Each grinning skeleton now wears a
full suit of clothes which hang Imply
upon the bones. Some wear hats that
are titled at rakish angles.
The big pile of bones that formerly
occupied one end Of the Guanajauto
chamber of horrors has been removed
and an effort Is now being made to
keep the place in fit condition for the
reception of American and other vfsi

Bones of Dead Are Treated With
Little Respect by Officials.
People of Wealth and Moderate Means
Are Able to Have More Atten-
tlon Shown - Remains
Thrown Into Pile.

Matamoras, Mexico.-The average
Mexican cemetery is a grewsome spot.
The one at Matamoras is no exception
to the rule. The bones of the dead
are treated with little respect by the
municipalities or men in control OF
the different burial grounds. The
poorer the person is in worldly goods
the more ignoble will be the treat
ment accorded the bones when he has
passed the way of all flesh. OF course,
the people of wealth or even moderate
means are able to have their bodies
cared for in a more or less luxurious
manner after death. 1t is the lower
class whose crumbling remains are
shifted about from place to place and
finally fall into dust and are scattered
to the four winds.
The bones of the dead are usually
piled in big heaps In the cemeteries of
the larger towns. The bodies are
given room in regular graves at an
nual rentals. When the rent lapses
the body is moved from its resting
place to give room for some other
bodies. The bones of these dispos-
sessed tenants are cast into the refuse
pile, where they remain until carted
away and scattered over the land like
they were so much garbage. 1t is rare
that body of the poorer class is kept
in a grave more than two years
Until recently the bone pile in the
cemetery at Matamoras was large. 1t
was earted away to give room for a
fresh accumulation of nonpaping ten
ants of the graves. In one corner of
the cemetery are several cheap cask-

The arrangement of the stars to

m the summer of 1907 by joint board
of army and navy officers, of which Ad-

board, afterward approved by the sec
