LIVE CHIEFLY ON TURTLES
Residents Of Small Islands of Coast
Of ceyIon Find Plenty Of Food
Near at Hand.

A correspondent Of Ceylon journal
gives some interesting information
about the turtles on the coast In the
nelghborhood of Jaffna in the north of
the island which are said to be in
Vulnerable. They are Of three species,
called sea, milk and pariah turtles, re-
spectively.
The ordinary, or sea turtle, is gener-
ally large in size, and is met with
everywhere at sea around Jaffna. Two
tiny Islands, called Iranativu, are liter
ally swarming with the creatures.
The islands themselves are sterile
and always exposed to inundation the
Inhabitants are poor and ignorant of
agriculture, and live chiefly on the tur-
ties. They use the shells of the large
ones as seats.
In the town of Jaffna the ordinary
turtle is always procurable, and is a
favorite article Of food with the peo-
pie. The milk turtle is small in size
and is to be found only in wells and
banks. . 1t is not an article of food ex-
cept with the poorer classes. The
pariah turtle has high back, and a
shell which somewhat resembles that
Of the tortoise. It is found In marshes
and bitches. 1t is not an article Of
food, but is highly valued by native
medical men, because its flesh and
blood are supposed to be panacea for
ailments peculiar to children.

Burns Inconsistent In Low.

Burns love affairs were both the
product and the inspiration of his
genius. Although he had written to
Clarinda of Edinburgh that COM
pared with her, Jean Armour was as
the expiring glimmer of farthing ta-
per beside the glory Of the meridlau
sun, he married Jean within two
months. Last year at Sotheby's n let
ter written week after his marriage,
vindlcatlng Jean entirely, fetched
$3.50. Later a curious Burns letter
was offered, dated June 20, 1888
(Burns was married August 3, 1889,
In which he states: 81 have waited
on Mr.. Aud about my marriage affair
and stated that was legally fined for
an irregular marriage by justice of
the peace. He says If bring an at
testation of this by the two witnesses
there shall be no more litigation about
It," The "1egap marriage which fol-
lowed August 3 was apparently the so
luton of the trouble. Doubts raised
in the auction room as to the authen-
ticity of the letter were dispelled.-

a pocket knife and began digging in
the soft, yielding earth beside it. His
lips were set grimly. His face was a
map Of blank despair. He took from
his bosom the red ear of corn.
'The funeral of ali my hopes" he
mourned, and placed the red ear in
the hole he had dug.
Then he lifted the priced token of
the husking bee to his lips. Sadly,
but ,reverently, he held 1t there for
moment. He closed his eyes In mourn
full thought.
And all the time Airline was In sight
Iand hearing. She had stolen after him
into the wood, troubled with maidenly
Tscruples, tempered, however, with a
sense Of culpability that stirred her
heart to kinder emotions. Then, not
five feet away from Ned, she peered
Through a screen of vines, wondering,
curious, interested, and finally her
soul was stirred to the depths at what
she observed.
1t might have been ludlcrous, this
mock burial, to a callous woman of
the world, but to gentle, sensitive
airline the circumstance was intensely
Soulful and pathetic.
"Yes, will leave home" spoke Ned
half audibly. 81 must forget her. I
may in time and-good byel good
Dyer
Gently he brushed the earth over
the cherished red ear, as though he
were shutting from sight and memory
the most sacred memento of his first
love experience.
"Don't oh, please, don't"
Ned Dawson lifted his eyes to gaze
transfixed. Airline had burst through
the frail foliage. She was at his side,
tinnid, though resolute, flushed and
pale by turns, the ring Of real pathOs
in her mellow accent, the glow Of
true love In her bonny eyes.
"Why, Airline" stammered the poor
fellow. you herep
81 followed you" voiced Airline in a
wild flutter.
"And ran away from me that night
Of the busking bee, and let the other
fellows kiss you, and not me. You
did not run away from them"
because did not love them-can't
you seer"
"But-you-did-me2"
She covered her burning face with
both hands and kept 1t from tell-tale
view. In muffled tones she sobbed
out:
'You won't go away from homer
'Ill stay here all my life, If you tell
me to-" he cried, and his soul seemed
lifted to the heights.
'You didn't kiss me at the husking
bee" whispered Airline, "but-"
II may now" and her lips, not her
cheek, met his in true love submits
sion.

COAL MINES ARE
DOING THEIR BIT
Daily Output Of Coal Breaks
all Records to Meet This
Years Demands.

So much is being said about the
shortage of bituminous coal, and the
general public realizes so little the
| important gains in output made by
the operators under trying conditions,
last summer. over all previous rec
ords, that the statement just issued
by the United States Geological Sur
Vey. department of the interior, on
production in 1917 compared with
1915 is particularly timely. In COM
menting on this report prepared by
the statlsticians of the Geological
survey Director Geo. Otis Smith
points out that the shortage is not due
to the failure of the soft-coal mines
to produce more coal than in the
past, for the country on September /
was about "A month ahead of last year
in output and is expected to finish the
year with an increase of 10 per cent
over 1916 the banner year, and Of 25
per cent over 1915.
The tremendous increase in manu-
featuring and transportation activity
this year shas created a demand for
soft coal in excess Of any in the past,
an increase in demand that is diff
cult to measure i'm terms of tons bu.
that is certainly more than the 10 per
cont bN NnlCn production mas lltTedS-
ed. To meet this demand the mines
have been producing soft coal at a
rate never before equaled. In the
second week Of July. 1917. the aver
age daily production was more than
1000 600 tons. the highest point yet
attained; i'm the middle of August the
lowest rate for the summer. 1,63S,000
tens. was recorded; and in the last
week OF September the daily rate was
1.823.00O tons. In the first months
Of 1917 the output Of soft coal was
363.500.000 tons or $1,000 900 tons
more than I'm the first eight months
of 1915. In the same period ship
ments Of anthracite increased Is per
cent over those Of 1916.
In the bulletin just issued by the
geological survey the figures of COM
parative shipments regularly collected
and shown in part in the monthly
and weekly reports, are converted in
to tons OF total production. in order
to satisfy the demand for information
on the part Of thse not familiar with
the coal industry. The diagram Of

WOOD SUBSTITUTES
INCREASE RAPIDLY


Twenty-Five years ago lumber was
regarded as almost as much OF a me-
Cessity as wheat, while today it is
steadily being replaced by various
substitutes. says a report by the for
est service on The substitution of
Other Materials for Wood" just off
the press. Disregarding the tempo-
rary effect of the war. with its sud
den demand for lumber ana its great
enhancement of prices of many SUBJ
stitute materials. the report points
ont the tendency i'm the long run.
Each year more steel. concrete. brick
or tile is being used in. places where
lumbe was formerly employed. This
is particularly true in cities where en-
.actment of building codes and the
development of new forms of con-
struction have created demand for
more durable building material.
Shingles have given way largely to
composition and tile roofings. wooden
sidewalks have been almost wholly
replaced by cement, while the mod
ern skyscraper with its steel frame
work. and stone, brick or tile walls
occupies the site of some former
frame structure. Railroad crossties
and mine props are about the only
forms of wood which are not effected
Lumber business Hit Hard.
How hard this substitution has hit
the lumber business is shown by the
government estimate that the total
replacement of lumber in all forms of
use is 5000, ,O00,O 600 board feet, or q
per cent of the lumber consumption
of the United States in 1915. The
rate of substitution seems to be in
creasing and is now in excess of
