WELDING TORTOISE SHELL
1t Is Done by Heat and Pressure-Two
or More Layers Made Into a Solid
Piece. II

Tortoise shell is the carapace or
horny armor which protects the back
of the hawksbill turtle. This armor is
composed of thirteen segments or
plates which are not fast at the outer
edges but overlap one another like the
tiles on a roof.
The turtles are captured when they
come on shore to lay their eggs, and
after being killed are immersed in
boiling water until the plates can be
removed without injury. Formerly, in
some places. live turtles were roasted
until the plates loosened and could be
taken away. when the turtle was put
back in the sea to grow new shell.
1t is doubtful if shells grow again. or if
they would be of much value.
Hawksbill turtles are found in most
of the tropical seas, and the shells are
commercially rated as East Indian and
West Indian. The East Indian shell
is much darker than the other and has
fewer of the transparent markings
that go to make tortoise shell desir-
able, and is not so valuable as the
West indian shell on that account,
The plates vary in size and thickness
according to location, but in all cases
taper to a thin edge where they over
lap. In those cases in which large
piece is required to be of uniform
thickness two or more plates are laid
together and welded until they become
a solid piece of necessary thickness.
In welding plates they are first
boiled in a salt solution until they he
come comparatively soft and pliable.
when they are carefully cleaned to re-
move all foreign matter from the sur
faces to be welded. The slightest i'm
purity will prevent the shells from
forming perfect joint
After the parts have been laid to-
gether they are wrapped with several
thicknesses of wet cloth and an iron
plate put on each side. These plates
must be parallel so the pressure on the
shell shall be equally distributed and
bits of folded cloth are laid in wher-
ever required to make the pressure
uniform.
In the meantime heavy iron tonss
have been heating and when hot
enough to brown a bit of paper are
made to hold the package of shell and
cloths and the whole is put in a heswy
press. Pressure is increased gradu-
ally to a certain point and maintained
until the tongs become cold when the
parts will be found to have united 20
form one piece. Unless carefully done
the shells separate on being put in hot
water.
Small objects cannot be repaired by
welding as a rule. because the surfaces
are too small to knit properly and be-
cause pressure sufficient to unite the
parts might destroy patterns or shape.

Marriage is not always insisted up
on. Many young women arrive who,
although there are men more than
willing to marry them, are not anxious
for matrimony, and they are going to
