Mexican Turtle Is Thought
To Have SWun Across Sea

PLYMOUTH, ENGLAND.-A
Mexican turtle, which may have
swum all the way across the At
lantic, had Cornishmen in a

1t was a scientist who said
the little fellow might have gone
swimming and wound up cross
ing the ocean.
The Mexican Loggerhead,
about the size of a mans head,
was first spotted ambling placid
ly along a seashore highway
several thousand miles from the
Gulf of Mexico where he be-
longed.
Cornishmen had never seen
one like him. They phone the

vas quite possible that the tur-
tie crossed the ocean under his
own power, helped along by the

Secret WRITINGS

MONTAUBAN, FRANCE.-More
than 200 people went to the village
of st. Pierre. near here. to mourn
at the grave of Joseph Cheroux who
died at the age Of 88.
Why? They didn't come simply
out Of respect. or to mourn him
no, they came also In hopes Of OBJ
tanning his memoirs, the fabulous
hook Of beggars," and they Of
fered his relatives fabulous sums
for it.
"We should have loved to sell
out to the highest bidder" said
Charles, the eldest son. Zone man
was ready to pay 200, 900 francs
roughly about S700-for a copy.
Alas! The trouble is that we, our
selves, cannot find the manuscript.
The old man hid it somewhere and
we don't know where to look for it."
Reticent About Fortune
Charles was reticent about the
fortune which the old papa" had
left, but he admitted that his father
had died a rich man. Most of this
money came fr o beggars in
France, Holland and Belgium, and
consisted of fees paid to Papa Che
roux."
Joseph Cheroux, the 'king of the
beggars," possessed that inventive
genius, combined with an e~xtraor-
binary ability for big scale or
ganization, that makes men cap
tains Of industry. Fifty years ago
he decided to apply his great tai
ents to the organization Of the beg
ging fraternity.
Cheroux did two things for his
profession: He offered new methods
of begging, for a small share in
the earnings, or a substantial fee;
he also compiled the first "Direc-
tory for Beggars"-a fat volume
with the names Of many thousands
of rich donors" in western Europe
and Britain.
Cheroux invented over a hundred
new tricks for street beggars.
Look at the poorly dressed man,
carrying a heavy suitcase. A small
boy accompanies him. holding his
hand. He stops a passer-by and
asks, in the broad dialect Of the
countryman, how he could get beds
for the boy and himself for a shil-
linz ua ANNA ~ fha citv tbic roorp-
ing, and had his purse stolen by a
pickpocket at the railway station.
The little boy mods his head, and
I'm hungry, daddy" Be-
lieve it or not several pounds a
day can be made with this little act.
Favorite Trick
Even more successful, according
% Cheroux, was his "match trick"
-prerequisites: An old man or
woman, poorly dressed but clean
and neat, and a box of matches. At
dusk, in one of the good streets,
he old beggar lights a match and
ooks along the gutter.
hidS anu didCh, oHe Hdo

and the return fare to a distant
Kind hearted people try to
help her find the coin. They dip

Kerosene Ranges

1t is very dangerous to use gaso-
line in a kerosene range. Kerosene
ranges are designed and built to
use only one fuel, namely kerosene.
Gasoline is much more flammable
than kerosene, so using it in a
stove designed for kerosene is to
take a very considerable risk. Even
when using kerosene, great caution
should be observed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The
harvest moon will be totally
eclipsed Monday night. The spec
tacle will be visible all over North
America.
Wherever the sky is clear, the
moon will not be black, but a
copper color. That color will come
from the earth. The next total
eclipse visible in the United State5
won't be seen until January 20,
1858.
AS seen from the moon during
an eclipse, the earth is a huge.
perfectly round black disc. sur
rounded by one of the most BEAU
tiful halos in creation.
The halo is red, and is due to
the same cause as the red of sun
sets. The suns rays, during this
period of the eclipse. will be shin
ing directly behind the earth Gas
seen from the moon) and viii
shine through the ring of air all
around the earth'S edges.
This air is more than 200 miles
deep. although above the first IL
miles it is very rarified. The ring
thus seen is brilliant red near
the earth, shading off to lighter
red in the outward direction.
The red glow is enough to illu-
inmate the edges of the earth
slightly, so that they are pink
rather than black.
The first stages of the eclipse
begin at 3:20 pm. This is the
moons entry into the prenumbra
of the earth's shadow, That part
Of the show merely darkens the
moons face slightly. Usually only
experts can detect the darkening.
At 9:31 pm. the umbra begins.
This is the earth's total black
shadow. 1t will appear as black
curving disc, cutting the moons
glowing edge, and moving slowly
across It's face. At 1854 pm.
