Th* Season Will Last Abont Three Weeks Longer and Hnnters Are •Making: the Most of It—How the Turtle Lays Her Eggs and Protects Thera— Stories of Turtle Hunts at Warsaw and Tybee. One of the favorite summer sports of the fishermen and marooners of Savan nah Is turtle hunting on the sandy beaches of the neighboring islands where from May to August the turtles come out to lay their eggs. # On the long fiat stretches of sand the mother turtle crawls about a hundred feet or more from the water line and there, with her flippers scooping out a round hole from two feet to three feet de*p. deposits her eggs, often three hun dr and or more, covering every fifty or so with a thin layer of sand and putting a final layer of considerable thickness over the top of the nest nfter her maternal du ties are finished. This final filling in of the nest she smoothes off even with the beach and after making the surroundings es near as possible like the remainder of the beach, if undisturbed, crawls back to the water with the pleasing conscious ness of duty well-performed and the con fident conviction that in n short time her maternal heart will be gladdened with a numerous progeny. Even when she escapes with her life, how'ever, her hopes of a family are of ten disappointed, for turtle eggs are con ceded to be a delicacy by nearly every body who has tried them, from the green est cracker whose only conception of a turtle is the pound and a half terrapin of the inland swamps and pzrnds, to the most accomplished epicure familiar with the celebrated dishes of every land; and it is this toothsomenrss of her product that lfads to the undoing of the turtles hopes for during the season of her laying, the n a sts are sought for continuously, and many of them found and rebbed of their contents. The method of search is very s'mple; where the tracks of the turtle are feund leading up the beach they are fol lowed. and the ground at various points along the trail tested by means of stick ing into the sand a slender rod or walk ing cane. The nfst is distinguished when reached by the ready yielding of the sand anl then the hunters, with their hands, scorp out the Fand and appropriate the eggs. But it is in finding and s?curlr.g the tur le Itself that the hunter finds the greatest p’easure. The hunt is almost al ways made at night and preferably during moonlight. The condit ons are best about the middle of May, during a full moon, ard in the early morning hours. Then skirting the water line, the hunters w r alk alorg the beach, keeping a sharp look out for tracks as they pass along, and an even sharper look out ahead, for the creature itself. On a clear night the great lum bering animal can be distinguished a long way off. When one is sighted the hunters determine their further proceedings in ac cordance with the position of the crea ture in respect to ihe nearness of the wa ter line and its evident intentions. Jf on its way to make a nest ■which is known by its crawling up the sand and away from the water there is no particular need to hurry as unless dis turbed the turtle will not return to the water untij she has deposited her eggs. usually the hunters are content to wait a safe distance away until the nest has been completed and the actual laying of the pggs begun, then they may approach with Impunity for the turtle once on the nest will not move until she has completed her task. Then and not till then will she consult her safety by flight and it is when she commences her retreat to the water that the hunters secure her by catching the side of the shell and turning her over on her back when she lies helpless and can only fan her mighty and powerful flippers in wrathy impotence. The turtle Is a firm believer that dis cretion is the better part of valor hence rhe shows fight only when cornered and hns no way of escape; should she catch sight of her natural enemy, man, before she has begun to lay she will at once beat a hasty retreat toward the water, scaling the hard beach and throwing back quantities of sand in her haste. But when she is brought to bay she will both bite end strike heavy blows •with her flippers, and these must be care fully avoided while she is being turned cn her back. It is owing to her efforts to injure her enemies that her final undoing is accom plished for. like mot of the family, Tes tudlnata. the turtle, can draiv its head into the shell end close its flippers close to its sides, making itself practically im pervious to attacks. This its captor knows, and so when ready to slaughter lt.r*okes its head with a stick until, to seize the annoyance, the animal extends Its head when it is cut off by n well directed blow with hatchet or ax. Some persons claim that there can be found In the turtle portions that taste I'ke end resemble in appearance chicken meat, veal, and beefsteak, but the aver* age marooner finds in the turtle only tur tle, which both in texture and taste,* closely resembles beefsteak. Turtles ore still quite numerous on War saw, though not nearly so plentiful as they were several years ago, when as many as nine have been turned in one night. They average in size from the comparative small one of one hundred pounds to five hundred pounds, and in ex ceptional cases, six hundred. One caught seven years ago, weighed fifty pounds more than the last number, and establish ed a record for large turtles that has since remained unbroken. A few have been caught during the present season, but no very large one. Only last week one was caught under exceptional conditions; it crawled out on the beach of Cabbage Island during the broad daylight. Its life paid for Its temerity, however, for it was seen by a negro fisherman who forsook his lines for the bigger game and succeeded in bagging it. 1\ THE RAILROAD WORLD.

Aatnr linos, Walters Woaldn't Serve Him, bat He Argaeil It Out. From the New York Journal. The Alan In the Shirt Waist is meeting with all the different kinds of discourage ment that the professional martyr encoun ters. He is being put out of restaurants, barred from roof gardens, and when those things are not occurring to him he is be ing sneered at by hts fellow citizens. This Alan in the Shirt Waist Is just a plain summer man, without any coat or waistcoat. He wears a pink or blue shirt, and his trousers are held in place with a belt. The innovation consists In the fact that he leaves his coat at home. From the standpoint of logic he Is all right. What there Is against him is that he is a novelty, and that he looks so aggravat ingly cool. Into the Astor House dining room went the Man in the Shirt Waist yesterday af ternoon. He took a seat. The cashier's hands went up in horror. Three waiters gazed in alarm at the presence. Some guests who were eating braised beef did not look at all interested* or frightened. A waiter came up and said In severe ac cents to the Alan in the Shirt Waist: "Have you no coat?” "No," replied the M. in the S. W. "Well, then,” the waiter decided in the manner of giving one an ultimatum, "we decline to serve you.” The Al. in the S. W. went up to the sol emn and be-spectaeled cashier and ap pealed. "You are in shirt sleeves.” the cashier said, frigidly. "My orders are not to ad mit men in their shirt sleeves.” "But,” argued the man, "haven’t you heard of the new fashion? I left my coat at home, not because I haven’t one, but because I don’t need it.” "I have no instructions to argue the matter,” the cashier replied. "You ore In your shirt sleeves, sir, and that set tles it.” ' But at Newport,” continued the man, “everyone goes around like this, the Van derbilts, the Astors and the—well, all the rest of those fellows.” "The millionaires?” inquired the cashier beginning to relent. ”Yes,’’ the man answered. "The million aires. It's the new fashion, just introduc ed." "No one ever dined at the Astor House in his shirt sleeves,” the cashier said, shaking his head. Then he thought a mo ment and a'ked. "You say the million aires are doing it and that it’s the fash ion?” "Yes," explained the man, "and hotel keepers who don’t line up may be sued for all sorts of money and have to pay it, too. Now, may I eat here?” "Well,” the cashier said, “of course, if it's the fashion it will have to go, but I have my suspicions. You see we never know anything here and it may be as you say. However, I’ll give you ih benefit of the doubt. Sit down and I’ll send you a waiter.” The man in the shirt waist had wen the day. He sat down and had some wine with his braised beef. The waiters looked at him askance. Then they circulated the news about the lately (angled fashion and agreed that the man in the shirt waist was exceedingly correct and up to date, and not a man in his shirt sleeves as they suspected at the start. The missionary man In the shirt waist is having all sorts of trouble with the waiters in Philadelphia. Two of him were thrown out of Chestnut Hill Rark the oth er day. He Is being ejected from restau rants more often than here, as Quaker City caterers are not open to reason, but do as their grandfathers did. But the man in the shirt waist has come to stay, all right. HtSl'l-TS OX THE DIAMOND. Clilrago Took Gimp From Brooklyn by Solid Hitting:. Brooklyn.
