IT Is only during very recent yearsthat common turtles, or logger-heads, and the easily raised waterterrapin have been fully appreci-ated as articles of food that may

be commonly enjoyed, instead of rel-egated to form the choice dish of ban-quets. The northern former, withdrainage streams forming an Impor-tant feature of his land, and the own-er of spring-fed ponds on suburbangounds, may learn much from the tur-tle industry of the south that willprove interesting as well as practical.In the early days, when all that por-tion of the coast of Florida swept bythe Gulf of Mexico, afforded abundanthunting ground for turtles, they weresuch a common article of food thatthey were little appreciated, but dur-ing recent years their commercialvalue has increased.

The most important commerciallyare the green turtle, the turnkbacks,the hawkbllls and the loggerheads.Though some of them weigh only afew pounds, there are some mammothspecimens captured, the claim beingjnade, on good authority, that thelargest have been known to reach aweight of 1,200 pounds. The green tur-tle is also known as the Chelonia my-flas, and la the variety most prizedby the natives of Southern Florida.

Captured by Nets.At the present day turtles are cap-

tured mainly by nets, and also fromthe land by probing into their hiding-places along the banks of streamsWith a turtle-hook fastened to a long,stout pole. What is knov* as "tur-tle-turning” is mainly followed as asport by boys. But the old residentsclaim that in the early days turtle-turning was made the most importantmanner of capture, as well as Sport.An eafly authority thus tells of themethod used:

"Here (along the southern coast ofFlorida) one can follow the most sar-donic of all sports—turtle-catching.You walk along the lovely beach atnight, when the turtle has come upfrom the watei-s to deposit her hun-dreds of eggs. You see one. Youadvance, and coolly turn it over onIts back—and that is all. You leaveIt leisurely and pursue your stroll;turn another on its back, leave It,and so on until you are tired. Whenyou come again on the morrow therethey are. To walk up to a turtle inthe morning, having treated him inthis manner over night, and looksteadily in the eye thereof withoutcertain titillating sensations at onceIn your diaphragm (where you laugh),and ia your conscience (where you donot laugh) requires more grim rigidityof the former and more supple elas-ticity of the latter than some peoplepossess. Nor can there be anythingIn life, considered without referenceto your own act in making it so, morepreposterous than an upturned tur-tle lying, poor innocent, on its mildlyconvex back, with its mildly whiteeyes staring weakly at heaven, and itsflippers wriggling in flabby helpless-ness toward the four quarters of theearth’/

Among the visitors to the famous tur-ning grounds along the coast of Flor-ida, Inquiry Is often made as to whythe name tortoise is so seldom appliedto the many varieties of marine chelo-nians found on the borders of theGulf of Mexico. It Is true that tor-toise is the correct name for all thesevarious species—both the land and themarine species—as the name is de-rived from various French and Latinwords meaning twisted, crooked orcontorted, describing the crookednessof the curious feet and head protrud-ing from the tortoise shell. How thetortoise of early days became knownby the name of turtle is explained bythe fact that certain species of sea-turtles show such great affection foitheir mates, that the name of turtle(from turtle-dove celebrated for theconstancy of Its affection) came tobe applied to them. Later the nameturtle was applied to many species oithe marine tortoises, with turkeyfrequently used for the species foundin the West Indies.

Green Turtle the Favorite.Among the private turtle ponds own

ed and operated by progressive Flor-ida farmers who possess many acresof submerged land bordering famousturtle streams, many interesting feartures await the study of the northerntourist. The green turtle is the fa-vorite, not only because of its famein regard to "grefen turtle soup,” butalso for the delicacy of its flesh forvarious articles of diet. The tortoiseshell of commercial value is also mosthighly prized when secured from thegreen turtle, with its delicate color-ings. Both the upper shell—the cara-pace, or carapax; and the lower shell—the platron, are utilized for articlesand ornaments of commercial value,The most common method of prepar-ing the, shells for use is to softenthem by means of boiling. They arethen formed Into various shapes, orare flattened by being passed througha press. ..... vxi.v .>-r

The Florida native entertains thevisitor with many interesting legendsand traditions concerning the numer-ous turtles commonly known In theearly days as Chelonias. This name,applied to various river and sea tortoises, was derived, ’tis said, fromthe beautiful nymph Chelonia oimythological fame. According to thelegend, she alone of all the nymphs,was not invited to the bridal of Zeusand Hera, because she had amusedherself at the cost of the immortalcouple. But Hera was not contentedwith this vengeance. She made Mer-cury throw the witty but unwise maid-en into the sea with her house, andmetamorphosing her into a tortoise,condemned her to carry it on her backin eternal silence. For this reasonthe ancients called the tortoise Chel-onia.

CHARACTER SEEN IN BACKRear View of Men and Women Often

Reveals Their Personality tothe Btudent.

Have you ever noticed that theback views of men and women are in-tensely characteristic of the persons!

Then look carefully at that very or-dinary young man who has passedyou. He has one hand in his pocket,and shoulders slightly stooped. Fromwhat you can see of him, his head iabent, and every now and again hegives an 'aimless little kick at someobject in his path. What back viewcould be more eloquent of indecisionof character?

Now glance at the receding backof the man who has passed you by.Why does it fill you witk an instinc-tive sense of reliability? Becausethere Is strength in it; not necessari-ly physical, but mental. The back iastraight and alert. Tbe head la heldwell back, the arms swing easily, andthe walk is buoyant, confident, hope-ful.

Now direct your gaze across thestreet a moment. There goes a girlwho, under a cursory scrutiny, looksthe personification of what wealthcan do. Walk behind her a little way,and take good stock of the back viewpresented you. You soon discoveithat the end of a fringe net hangsdown on to the coat oollar. The col-lar of the blouse is done up with alarge pin. The middle seam of theskirt is not in its place. There Is ahole in the stocking just above theankle, and the ahoM, in spite of b*ing expensive, need repairing. Evi-dently the wearer Is an untidy, shiftless woman.

In these more practical days onequestions why they should have beenturned on their backs, thus to remainover night Why there was not a pos-sibility of someone else getting therefirst in the morning and reaping thefruits of the “turner’s” labor. Whythers was not considerable danger ofthe “wriggling flippers” giving thesudden twist that will send the aver-age small turtle “right side up withcare,” after a few effective struggles,and why it would not be just as easy,and much more sensible, on goinga-turtllng, to take along means of car-rying home the prizes when firstcaught, instead of allowing them tolie on their backs until morning.

Only a few years ago, vhen theturtle Industry first began to be ap-preciated from its commercial stand-point, the beef and turtle markets ofKey West stood side by side, manypreferring the latter as a regularmeat supply, and it then began to bea profitable industry to ship turtlesalive to the northern markets, notonly from Key West, but from allalong the southern coast of Florida.The turtle eggs are also valued asfood, and the pioneer settlers In thefar south found them a very appreci-able item in their provisioning, as thelarge varieties of turtles have beenknown to lay from 100 to 300 eggs ineach nest. What is known as theFlorida “gopher” is a species of tor-toise of terrapin, that burrows In thesandy soil and furnishes very accept-able food. Gopher calipash is themost popular dish made from this•mall turtle.
