TAE CITY OF MOBILE. Some Facts About the P1ace which Haa Suffered. Now York' Tibune. Mobile lies on the right bank of the Mobile River, which half a mile be low the city enters Mobile Bay. The city is about 20 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Stretched along the river front for a mile or more is the wohlesalo busi ness district. This is only about. 10 eet above the river, and in time of storin, when the waters back up, it is invariably flooded. Sloping back from the river front is the retail business and hotel dis trict, and back of this, on slight hills, the residence district. Every few . .,years. the river front is inundated. T"Storms in the Gulf pile up the waters Nof the bay, which, 20 miles long by 15 wide, is only .15 feet deep, and this in turn backs into the river. Never before, however, has there been n storm that destroyed the buildings along the river. In the business dis trict the buildings are substantially built of brick and stone, and in, the last ten years, the period of Mobile's greatest development, six and eight story structures have been built. The town is picturseque, with its manw huge oaks and magnolias, and the residence district on the hills is beautiful. A trolley system has aided in the development of outlying )arts. The population is 30,00, with 20,000 more inl the eivironls. Mobile was originally an11 old Span ish settlement, as New Orleans was French. It is one o[ four principal export ports for cotton. Minerals and Jumber are largely exported. I is the chief port, of entry for the t ropi cal fruit trade of the Middle South. Fruit. vessels reach there in a day less than is necessary to go to New Orleans. The Government in recent years has provided a 25-foot clanel into Mobile, which has vastly increas ed commerce. Values in the city have tr-ehled, it is siid, in the last ten years. Three iniportant railroads -the Mobile and OHio, tle Southern and the Louisville and Nashville enter Mobile. There are several sinal ler lines. MAuch apprehension is felt for the persons who have summer cottages along both shores of the bay. The season is jnst closing, and many are still in these places, which were ex posed to the full force of the gale. Where the bay debouches into the Gulf Fort Morgan, a- first-class fort, stands. Near by along the low-lying shores fisherfolk live and ply their vocation. TURTLE FARMS. Things Has Come to be a Paying In Dustry in Japan and England. The p)lace occupied among gastro nomical in America and by* -he green .turtle in England is taken by the suppon,'' or the snappinig turtle in Japan. The three are equally esteem edl and equally high p)rice(d, but the * Japanese epicure has this advantage over his brothers of other lands-he has no longer any fear of hiaving the supp)lly of the luseious reptile exha us ted. This desirable condition is ow ing to the successful efforts of a Mr. Hlattori, who has spafredl no pains5 to bring his turtle farm to a high pitch oft perfection, and is able to turn out tens of thousands of these reptiles every year. His arc, so far as I am aware, the only turtle farms in the wvorld wvhich are highly successful. In general appearance a turtle farm is at first glance nothing but a number of recangular ponds, large aind .small, the large ones having a size of 15,000 to 20,000 square feet. One or more of the ponds is alwvays reserved for large breeding indivI duals or ''parents,'' as they are call ed. In Hattori 's farm a person goes around the ''parents' pond'' once a day or so and covers up with wire baskets all the new deposits made since the last visit. Each basket may be0 marked with a date if necessary. This covering serves a twofold pur pose-the obvious one of marking tihe place, and in addition that of keeping other females from digging in the same spot. When hundreds, or even thousands, of these baskets are seen along the bank of the ".parents' pond,'' it is a Bight to gladden the heart of an embryologist, to say noth ing of that of the proprietor. The hatching of the egg takes, on an average, 60 days. The time may be considerably shortened or length enel, according to whether the sum mer is.hot and the sun pours down its strong rays day after day, or whether there is much rain and the heat not great. It may become less than 40 days or more than 80 days.
