Turtles of the Galapftg«r Turtles of the Galapagos islands lay white, spherical eggs, which are a little larger than hens' eggs, in the sand or any convenient hole, a dozen or more at a time. If dogs and pigs do not destroy the eggs, buzzards often attack the young torToIses. If these-escape destruction, the older animals are generally killed by man for their flesh and for the clear oil obtained from their fat. Those which survive all these perils are apt to live for centuries, barring other accidents, asking nothing else than to pursue their peaceful ways. First to Make Stone Bridge* The highly civilized ancients, such as the Egyptians, Babylonians and Greeks, first made stone bridges. In Asia Minor, a stone crossing was erected more than 3,000 years ago. CENTRAL GARAGE When your car or truck needs attention, we are prepared *to serve you.
