Tho park commissioners, who have

There were many protests from

Mr: Walsh was much put out. Ho

should rcallzo the same effect as tho
beat of a bird's wings in the air. Tho
propellor evolved is not a scrow, but
a brldo of wood, broader and thlckor

one of which tapers off nearly to a

wide,, looking like a wing, concave on
one side and convex on the other.
Furthermore, both ends are curved
backward, forming an obtuse nnglo.
The wholo Is Inclosed in n cage and
measures only about 55 inches In dia

gauge of the car in any dliectlon. The
maximum speed Is 2,200 revolutions
a minute. This air propelling system
enables the constructor to dispense
with tho most delicate and compli

required, as a change In tho num

change of gear, while progress back

movement of tho wing. This backward
rotation also servos as a powerful
brake when going downhill, and does
away with "differentials" and back
bridges.
In traveling tho friction Is reduced
to a minimum, and tho car seems
hardly to touch tho ground, raising
no appreciable dust, and consequently
Inflicting but slight wear and tear on
the tires, whilo the comfort of tho

IT Is only during very recent years
that common turtles, or logger

drainage streams forming an Impor

bounds, may learn much from tho tur

In tho early days, when all that por

tho Gulf of Moxico, afforded abundant
hunting ground for turtles, thoy. wcro
such a common article of food that
thoy were llttlo appreciated, but dur

tho hawkbllls and tho loggerhondB.
Though soruo of them wolgh only a

At tho prosent day turtles aro cap

tho land by probing Into tholr hiding
places along tho banks of streams
with a turtle-hook fantonod to a long,
stout polo. What Is known as "tur-tlo-turnlng"
is mainly followed as a
sport by boys. But tho old residents
claim that 1c tho early days turtlo

manner of capture, as well as sport.
An early authority thus tells of tho
method used:
"Hero (along tho southern coast of

You walk along the lovely beach at

of character?
Now glanco at tho receding back
of the man who has passed you by.
Why does it fill you with an instlnc

there Is strength In It; not necessari
