GIANT STONE TURTLE
carved 1900 YEARS Aso

from block of solid stone close to
IL centuries before. It's weight was
about 1900 pounds. The statue was
shipped to the United States.
In the world of Nature there are
turtles which about equal the weight
OF that Chinese stone turtle. They
are the largest of all living turtles
and are known as "leatherhacks.@
They live in salt water. and swim
about in the warmer parts Of the
ocean.
One middle -sized leatherback was
harpooned when It was seen near
the beach at New London Conn.
Probably 1t had come north with
the Gulf Stream. When It was
taken to museum, the length was
found to be six feet and the weight
tbs pounds.
That leatherback was larger than
most ocean turtles, but far larger
ones have been captured. Some
very large ones are eight or nine
feet long. and weigh from 1000 to
1900 pounds.
The leatherback turtle does not
have hard shell. Instead its back
Is covered with leathery hide, soft
but tough. The covering is about
one inch thick and contains 50 much
oil that 1t has been compared to the
blubber Of whale.
A leatherback has big clippers"
which spread out from behind the
neck. The fiippers may be as much
as foot wide and three feet long,
They are used for swimming.
The female crawls out of the sea
at egg-laying time. Reaching q
point on q beach above high-tide
mark, the animal scrapes hole in
the sand and lays white eggs about
the size and shape Of tennis balls.
More than 100 of these eggs may be
laid In a single nest. As soon as
they hatch from the eggs, the small
turtles make for the ocean and stay
in 1t for years on end,

Early In the present century, an

THINKING of getting a loan? Be-
i fore you borrow, ask yourself two
questionss l. Is your loan really
necessary? g.. Are you getting it at
the lowest rate you can?
It's a good idea not TO borrow un-
less a loan is the best answer to your
problem. In wartime that's an espe-
cially wise policy. Perhaps you can
squeeze through this time without
borrowing. Hyou do borrow, get only
as much money as you really need
and pay it back as soon as possible
to reduce the cost.
Sometimes a family must have a
substantial amount of cash to meet an
unexpected emergency. Sometimes
family has debts too large to pay out
of current earnings. That's when a
personal loan, repayable in monthly

DEATH CUP
(AutQnitd phdllofdes

fAHt0HtI0 pn0sGOt0ESb
II one is to Judge by the many
telephone calls feceived within the
last few weeks. mushrooms and
toadstools have become much more
sought after than in previous years.
Many callers ask for specific infor-
nation concerning the poisonous
fungi. One rule to follow is to know
absolutely q few edible varieties. and
never take any chances with those
you do not know.
The death cup, or Poison Amanita,
is in evidence from July to October.
1t Is found In pastures and in open
places Of woodsy glades. The poison
principle Of this fungi is known as
phallin. This is one OF the tox-
albumins found In the poisons Of
rattlesnakes and other venomous
animals. 1t Is a.sG the poison that
produces death in those afYiicted
with diphteria and cholera.
This poison acts Immediately on
the blood corpuscles. BY dissolving
the corpuscles, the serum Of the
blood escapes from the blood vessels
into the alimentary canal and drains
the entire system of its vitality at
once.
In the genus Amanita, the fungi
with gills all have this characteristic
In common. AL bear their spores on
radiating plates, known as lamellae.
Evening star., 1943-08-16

The color OF the spores is one Of
the quickest ways to identity them.
Those of the Death Cup are
globose and white; the Fly Aman-
ita's are white and broadly elliptical
and those Of the orange are the
same.
The cap is whi.ish early in the
morning, soon turning greenish or
grayish brown. 1t is quite smooth
and from 3 to 5 inches across. The
stem or stipe has . ring, and it IS
abruptly bulbous ut the base. It Is
pithy when young and hollow when
