Other kinas, of the mullet species, came with them, trying to swim upright, but always fall- ing over on their sides, and yet trying to | 1iff their heads ove the water as if gasping for air. Then more big leather- Jjackets, some of which shot up from be- low as if they had been fired from a mor- tar, and running head on to the rocky wall of the pool, allowed themselves to be lifted out without a struggle. It was most exciting and intensely interesting to wit- ne: Out of this one pool—w was not more than fifteen yards across we obtained many hundredweights of fish, and three turtles.

HE'pickpocket who tricd to “pinch” a likely looking man’s pocketbook and found his fingers in the grasp of two snapping turtles was ‘a Japanese. A native traveler in Japan had bought the turtles, and, being afraid that he would be charged heavily for their transportation as live animals on the train, he placed them in a small por- table trunk which he carried. When he 8ot on the train he held the trunk so carefully under his arm that a thief who was in the crowd was sure the man had something valuable in the box. So he got into the same car and took an adjoining seat. Taking the first opportunity he cut a small hole in the trunk with a sharp knife and slipped in his hand. About this time the turtles concluded that there was -“‘something doing,” and they took hold of uis fingers in a hearty way. Gritting his teeth, the thief tried to ‘withdraw his hand, but he couldn’t. Then he howled, and the owner of the trunk seized him and turned him over to the train people, wno at the mext station gave him to a policeman. The incident, however, wasn’t closed until the traveler was punished for violation of the railway rcgulations.
