THE OITY OF MOBILE. Some Facts About the Place which Has Suffered. New York' Tribune. 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 Quit of Mexico. Stretched along the river front for a mile or- more is the wohilesale busi ness district. This is only about. 10 feet above the river, and in time ot storm, when the waters back ip, 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 listrict. Every few years. the river front is inundated. Storms in the Gulf pile uj) the waters of 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 a 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 parts. The population is 30,00, with 20,000 inore in the environs. Mobile was originally ain old SIan ish set tlement, as New Orleans was French. It is one of flu principal export, ports for cotton. Minerals and lumber aire largely exported. 1t is the chief port of entry for the (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 Govriiment in recent years has provided a 25-foot channel into Mobile, which has vastly inereas ed commerce. V,alues in the city have trebled, it is said, in the last tenl years. Three important railroads -the Mobile and Ohio, the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville enter M1ob'le. There are several snal ler lines. MAlich apprehension is felt for the persons who have summer cottages along both shores of the bay. The season is just 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 Oome to be a Pa.ying In Dustry in Japan and England. The p)lace occupied among gastro nomical in Ameriea and by the green ,turtle in England is taken by the ''suippon,' or the sinapping turtle in Japan. The three are equally esteem ed and equally high priced. but t he Japanese ep)ieure has this advantage over his brothers of other lands-he has no longer any fear of hiaving the supp)lly of the luscious rep)tile exhiaus fed. This desirable condition is ow ing to the successful efforts oif a Mr. Hiattori, who has spared no pains to bring his turtle farm to a high pitch of perfection, and is able to turn out tens of thousands of these reptiles every year. His are, so far as I am aware, the only turtle farms in the wvorld which are highly successful. In general appearance a turtle farm is at first glance nothing but a number1 of recanguhar ponds, large an .mall, the large ones having a Oeor more of the ponds is always reserved frlarge breeding indivl duals or ''parents,'' as they are call ed. In Hattori 's farm a person goes around the ''parents' pond'' once a day or so md covers tip with wire baskets all the new deposits made since the last visit. Each basket may b~e marked with a date if necessary. This covering serves a twofold pur pose-the obvious one of marking the place, anid in addition that of keeping other females from digging in the same spot. When hundreds, or evenm thousands, of these baskets are seeni along the bank of the ''parents' pond,' "it is a sight 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, aceording 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 groat. It may become less than 40 days or more than 80 (lays. The young just hatched are put in a pnd or ponds hy themselves and The Bi U a U U COME WH We are prepared as nev values never before equ where, when and what ti greatest shopping cente Shoe Department embrc with the season's most c Our Millinery Was a great success.

In October tihe l snapping turtle ceases to take food, y) and finally burrows the muddy bot- - tom of the pond to hibernate, comingr 8 ou-( only in April or May. From the third to the fifth year, inclusive, the young need not be kept V in ponds strictly according to age, but may be more or less mixed, if neces sary. The young of these years are also the best and most delicate for y eating and are the ones most sold in h1 the market.
