CAUGHT BIG TURTLE
II Was an Old One and Was Set

" was an Old One and Was Set
Free.
A turtle measuring 9 feet from
head to tail and 8 feet across its
shell, the head being Is inches in
circumference, was caught recently
by Japanese fishermen of Yokohama
and released by All Long, Chinaman,
who paid $50 for the privilege Of CIV
ing the turtle its freedom. The tur-
tie weighed 600 pounds. and its age
was estimated at 1000 years.
Probably the reason for the pur.
chase and the freedom given to the tur.
tie is that the reptile Is a sort Of sacred
emblem and the Chinaman who can set
one free In the ocean considers HIM
self especially blessed.
An interesting ceremony followed
the financial transaction. All Long fed
the turtle with several bowls of sake,
the favorite alcoholic drink OF the
Japanese prohibition having made lit.
tie inroads there), and accompanied by
as many friends as could be accommo-
dated In two sampans sailed out to
sea, and after many prayers were

MAKES DURABLE FENCE
sapIinos Planted Years Ago Serve as
Posts.

A fence that has no posts was re-
Gently cited by a lumber expert as an
object lesson In the utility Of wood.
This fence without posts Is on the big
road to Monroe, Mich.
So many years ago that nobody In
that section knows when 1t was, nor
who was the labor-saving genius who
did 1t, this fence was built by forcing
split boards between saplings. Then
the trees grew.
They kept growing, until now they
are of immense size, and deeply i'm
bedGed in them are the ends Of those
old rails. 1t Is impossible to tell how
far they extend into the tree trunks.
They are weathered, yet they ring as
true under a hammer as though just
hewn.
1t happened that the trees formed
a boundary line for one Of the old
tracts. The growth Of the trees around
the rail ends has created one Of the
most substantial fences imaginable.
