GIANT SOUTH PACIFIC TORTOISE DIES AT PARK Wastes Away in Captivity and Breathes Last in Conservatory After eighteen centuries of life in the wonderful Galapagos Islands in the South Pacific and the brief span of one year of captivity in Golden Gate Park, the great Testida Vestuta, pride and pet of the keepers of the conservatory, died of inflammation of the lungs yesterday. Some of the park employes say he died of a broken heart. . 2 X The huge tortoise, weighing at the time of his capture more than 600 pounds, wasted away from the effects of the extreme change in temperature his death he weighed but 400 pounds. ‘There was genuine sorrow among the attaches of the conservatory when it was dis- covered that .the tortoise was breath- ing his last in the annex amid tropical surroundings and to the sad dirge of raindrops pattering upon the glass roof of his prison. . About a year ago an expedition was sent out by the Academy of Science to undertake a thorough exploration of the Galapagos Archipelago, situated about 600 miles off the coast of Ecua- dor. These islands are of volcanie origin and are noted for the luxuriance of their flora and fauna, particularly for the great land tortoises which for- merly abounded and a few of which still remain. The sclentists brought with them several specimens of various species of tortojses. Only about twenty of these survived the voyage, among them the largest of all. The skeletons of the |dead were preserved and now form a valuable collection of the academy. The giant measured five feet across the back, but in spite of his size was gentle and almost pathetic in mani- festations of homesicknes for the hot clime of the islands. He refused to eat and was kept alive only by forcing |a few carrots down his throat. Only eight, the largest weighing forty pounds, remain alive of the hun- dreds brought back by the expedition. s RS Sy BAPTISTS VISIT VALLEJO About 400 persons connected with the San Francisco Baptist Association went to Vallejo on the Frisbie on Washington's birthday. The party visited the pavy yard, also the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion in Vallejo, after which they went to the Baptist Church, Rev. H W. Niel pastor, and there were the guests of the church at a supper. After sup- per there was a brief service of song Rev. ‘'William Thomas, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Oak- land, gave a stirring address on “Train- ing for Evangelism,” an excellent solo was rendered by Miss Florence Graham of the Vallejo church, and the pro- gramme concluded with an address by Rev. C. W. Brinstad, superintendent of missions, on “Our Opportunities and Forces.” In point of numbers and en- thusiasm this rally is claimed to have been orfe of the largest of denomina- tlonal gatherings of this kind on the Pacific Coast, and every one ex- pressed himself as highly pleased with the trip, as well as with the eny tertainment and addr B matter, ut if we are to permit our- selves to work on plans’ drawn by Japs, how soon will we be compelled to face the problem of working side by side with Orientals?

The professor is of the opinion that the danger will be brief, but it may be acute. If the earth comes into col- lision with the comet’s tail the earth's atmosphere may possibly cause igni- tion, and life would be destroyed. —_— BODY OF MAN FOUND IN BAY The body of an unidentified man, ap- parently a sailor, was found floating in the bay off Howard-street whart yesterday morning by Fred Link, an employe of Boatman Crowley.
