The turtle is n Of the slowest Of

American naturalist has succeeded in
training three OF, these creatures to
do a number Of little tricks. He
places them, one above the other, on
spools, as depicted in the photograph
given above. II a piece Of cabbage
or other green stuff is held out in
front Of them they win make a COM

keeping their balance and not tum'
bling off. The bigger turtle will also
ring a bell. This it grasps in one
OF its forefeet, jerks it OF the ground,
and then gives 1t a shake. It is quite
amusing to watch the slow, deliberate
n in which this is done. The
turtles live In their owners house,
spending their time in the kitchen
hunting down the vermin.

SEVERE ON GIRLS IN PERSIA
From Hour Of Birth Social Inequality
Between Sexes Asserts Itself
Cellbacy a Disgrace.

The birth Of a girl in Persia is re-
ceived with pity, even by her mother.
why should l not weep over my lit
tie girl, who will have to endure the
same miseries as l have known?" she
cries. "She is Of so little value! Who
knows whether her father will not one
day throw her out of the window and
so silence forever her wailing? And
why should he be annoyed? He knows
he may do such a thing with impunity.
No cares any more than if it was
a cat which had to suffer for his
wrath"
From the hour Of birth the social
inequality between the sexes asserts
itself. Infant mortality is very high,
owing to the ignorance and inexperi-
ence Of the women. Since celibacy
is considered a disgrace, girls r Of
ten married as young as ten or twelve.
In order to reduce the rate of infant
mortality some men have suggested
that the mother should have a finger
cut off every time she lost a child.
This cruelty, however, has not been
adopted. But that it should have en-
tered into the minds of any Persian
men is significant enough.-Je sails

WELL THAT is BOTToMLEss

One Of the most curious and most
interesting natural wonders to be
found In Arizona is Montezuma we'll
This strange lake is located about the
center Of the state in a somewhat
isolated community. All about it are
great quantities of malapai rocks, for
this is a most decidedly volcanic com
munty. The well itself is some 200
yards across, and as far as 1t has ver
been possible to determine 1t is bot
tomless. The water in the we'll is alb
~solutely clear and pure. It maintains
a certain level all the time. which is
unaffected by the dryness or wetness
of the season. The walls that rise
precipitously above these clear va
ters and reflect themselves in them
we're at one time the homes Of a pop
ulous community. For this is the very
center Of what was once the cliff
dwellers' stronghold in Arizona.

nicely to even length, say two feet.

pole measured feet instead Of inches.

RAISING PONIES PAYS WELL
Thoroughbred shetlands Are Always
In Demand and Exceptionally
Fine Specimens Scarce.

10y * vi
We know Of no better way for a
boy to start In business than by rails
ing Shetland ponies. A very well-bred
mare a be bought for $f35 to 5000,
the latter figure being for a pure-bred.
Starting with a mare in foal, a boy
should, in the course Of five years,
find himself in possession OF enough
animals to start him on the highway
road to success.
Il is always best to buy thorough
breds for breeding, but If crosses are
used with a thoroughbred stallion inc
can in time breed up to a very high
standard. Shetlands are very easily
kept. They require but little grain
and will do very well on rocky hill
sides where there is fair %pasturage.
They need shelter in bad weather,
Of course, but an open shed, wind
tight on three sides, leaving the south
open, will be all that is necessary.
A good wire fence is required to
keep them in bounds, as Shetlands are
extremely curious and somewhat rest
less, and viii manage to get over,
under or through the average farm
fence.
If handled from birth, they are very
easily broken and at three years old
will be ready to ride or drive. Thor
oughbred Shetlands find ready sale at
prices ranging from SIPS to $500 and
exceptionally fine specimens bring
even higher prices.

tations. IN certain parts Of Central
Africa the average run OF thunder
storms is 30 days a year. yet there
are some very curious exceptions. In
sumatra and Java, both very hot eli

iy, and In Borneo only about so. The
gold coast Of Africa has only about
60 year, which ia less than occur
in Florida, though the latter country
is outside the tropics.
In Java there is a thunderstorm ev-

most astonishing fact IN regard to-

Mauritius. which is only SEQ miles
east OF Madagascar, has on an aver
age only one thunderstorm In 80
years.

FIRST PICTURE POST CARDS

In Nuremberg, Germany, they have
been making arrangements to cele-
brate the thirtieth anniversary Of the
picture post card with q congress and
exposition. Unfortunately for their
plans, however, 1t has been discover
ed that the first picture post card was
not made in Germany or sent from
Nuremberg, nor was 1t born in 1882,
as they had supposed. The distinction
Of making and mailing the first is now
claimed by Leon BesnardeaI, a book
seller OF Sille-le-G uillaume, near Con-
lie, department Of Sarthe, France. In
1870, during the war with Prussia. he
printed pictures on postal cards he
was sending to clients. M. Besnar-
deau is still alive, and there are many
of his old customers in France who
have the cards he posted them. The
Germans adopted the idea for the
Nuremberg exposition in 1882.

Playing New French Game.

sets Of balls, all alike in size, vary
ing but slightly in weight.
In starting the game, the beam Of
the balance is locked in place in the
same manner as the ordinary weigh
ing balance, and each player takes
a set of balls and proceeds to place
them, one at a time, in the depres-
sions in the respective pans. The
object Of each player is to place the
heaviest of the balls in the depres-
sions farthest from the center Of the
balance. After the balls are in place,
the beam is released ana a hand on
top Of the balance registers the win
ner and the number Of points his
side outweighs or o%utbaIances that
Of his competitor. thus the player
who can estimate most accurately the
comparative weights of the balls by
simply weighing them In his hands
wins the game.

wHlTTIER's DOG QUITE WISE

Ballad, "Robln Adalr."

During one of the last birthday eel
ebratons OF the poet Whittier he was
visited by a celebrated singer. The
lady was asked to sing, and, seating
herself at the plano she began the
beautiful ballad Of Robin Adair."
She had hardly begun before Mr..

himself" said Mr. Whittier, "He also
is Robin Adair.'"
The dog, hearing his own name,
evidently considered that he was the
hero Of the song. From that mo

her devoted attendant. He kept by
her side while she was indoors, and
when she went away he carried her
bag In HIS mouth to the gate and
watched her departure with every ev-
idence Of distress.

Without question, the Scots curler
Of whom Lord Lyveden tells in Fry's
Magazine, placed the proper value on
his sport.
During a recent curling-match in
Switzerland, the skip of one Of the

was heard to address him in the fol-

CHANGING THE CATS FUR

A remarkable transformation Of a
cats fur by temperature has been re-
ported. A black cat was accidentally
shut in the refrigerating chamber of a
mail steamer in Sydney harbor, Au-
s~tralia, and was not discovered until
about 80 days later, when the ship
was off Alden. The cat was scarcely
recognizable, the fur having become
long and thick, changing to white on
the back Brought out in the intense
heat Of the Red sea, the heavy white
coat rapidly fell out and the normal
coat was restored.
