The snapping turtle is an awkward
pedestrian. bu in the water it is quick
as a flash. The wary and sudden trout
is no match for the great amphibean.

sis-tent and destructive. The snapper

jaw s. and it disapywats beneath the sur-

snapper is partial to tnnskrats. and
watches at their holes for them. If no
rat appears the turtie nukes his way in-
to the burrow by the subterranean pas—
sage the rnuskrat always tunnels to his
nest and wires its game on its own thresh- .
old. Reptile-s of all kinds. especially
the water snake. are a favorite morsel
for the snappv r. and tish know the turtle
to thcir sorrow.
(lld river hunters declare that snapping
turtles are so wise that the moment they
hear the sound of a gun along the water
they know some. one is hunting birds
that feed along the shores and in the
reeds and tings. Then the snapper gets
itself in position to look out for
wounded birds that fall into the water.
If any fall the" are the snapper's meat.
' ‘he snapper has its home in streams
and ponds. In Central Pennsylvania it
is found principally in the streams.

eggs. the average number beingr thirty.
She goes some distance from the. \\ titer.

ground direcIly downward. and a foot or
so deep. Then she runs a tunnel of?
froni the side of the hole at the bottom a
foot or so long. in that she makes her
nest and lays her eggs. always in the
forenoon. Sometimes the female snapper
will dig three or four holes before she
finds a place to suit her. After the eggs
are laid she covers them and fills the hole
up with dirt. and smooths it down with
great carc. The eggs hatch in ten davs.
and the littleturtles at once dig their
why tothe surface and lose no iime in
getting to the water.

to prevent this. All the ladies take the
. greatest care of themselves in their work.
' but sooner or later they are afflicted with
sores. The direct cause of the sores is
the arsenic employed in the manufacture
of the money. If the skin is the least

l the way the arsenic poisoning is carried
:to those portions of the body. One of
'the officials stopped by the side of a
young laiy and picked up a glass vessel ,

and is used to moisten the fingers while
* counting the money. It was quite black
" from the arsenic.
piece of sponge is placed on the desk of
each cmploye. but before the day is over
it is black. There were three ladies who
were six years before they were afflicted
with sores. About three months ago
they were so visited with them that they
had to quit work. They have been away
ever since. and the physician‘s certificate
in each case says their blood is poisoned
