Pollock, governcr of American Samoa. informed the navy de- partment that the turtle marked and left in tha Tonga islands by Capt. Cook, the English mariner, in 1773, was seen there a few weeks ago. Although tur- tles have a record for longevity, this particular one shows sig . of exireme aze and is said, wher walking, to creek like an old ox-cart. In addition to be- ing decrepit at the tender age of 150, the animal is totally bind. Generally, turtles of species this live to 400 vears and more. Though there are no official records to prove it, the accepted story, is that Capt. Cook stopped at the Galapagos Islands on one of his numerous cruises and while there captured a number of giant turtles. After carving the date on the thick shell of one he releaszed it in Tongas 'group. It is suppo ed that he selected & young turtle for the ex- periment.— The Pathfinder Oct. 27th. CLOCK 328 YEARS OLD STILL GOING. A Pathfinder reader, W. P. Quinton, of Pulaski, Ky., boasts the oidest time- piece in America. He says it ticked off the hours before the Boston ‘tea-party’’, before the settlers landed at James- town. aye, before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth rock. In fact, just 103 sefrs after Columbus discovered Ameri- ca this "great-'great-graz.dfather’s clock was ticking away, having been made at Plymouth, England, in 1595. | According to Mr.Quinton, the old clock | still keeps excellent time, and the only ' marks of wear that. are visible are the | worn case, sleek wheels and time-worn - face. The clock stands eight feet highis % 18 inches wide and 10 inches deep. The | entire works save the verpge v heel are | madeof w.od. FEach wheel, including l the axle, is carved out of a single piece | of wood. The axles are tipped with | Ivory to prevent wear. ; Above the facial aial, on a three quar- i ter dial wrought ix old gold, are em- | blems of the Masonic order. Though | many prominent Masons have examined them two have not been deciphered. dMr. Qaiaton obtained the clock from his | oid school teacher who taught him his | letters from Webster’s blue-back spell- ! ing book some 41 years ago and who is {still living. —lbid. Ll - ™ Tomake youstrong and "brainy and put the powerinto your blood to overceme dis- €ase gCrins The food you cat contains carbon. When vour iood 1s digested it is ab- sorbed from the intestines into the blaod. When tlie carbon in your food comes in contact with the oxy- gen carried by the iron in your blood, the carbon and oxygen unite and by so doing they give olf tre- mendous energy, thereby giving you g_reat force, strength and endurance. Without iron vour blood carries no oxygen and without oxygen there is mothing to umite with the carbon in your food, so that what you eat does you no good—you do not get any strength from it—lt is like putting coal into a stove without a fire. You cannot get any heat unless the coal unites with the fire, The sirongest weapon with which to pre- @ vont and overcome colds, pneumonia, kidney trouble, rheumatism, nervous prostration, in fact almost any discase or disease germs 1s plenty of good rich, pure blood, sirength, encrgy ard endurance and the greater energy carrier it the body is organic iron, not metzl- Lic iron which peeple usually take, but or- Fanic iron like the iron in spinach, lentiis end :;]3;:1‘.9, and like the iron contrited in what is known as c¢rganic Nuxated fron, which may be had from zlmost any druggist, Nuxated Iron often increises the strength, energy and endurance of weak, nervous, run- cown folks i two weeks' time, It has been used and highly recommended by former United States Senators, Members of Congress, Judges of U.
