M. | second, a precocious young terrapin will bite his way out of each one of them. There is no cuosswork and no mistakes. Mr. Barbee seems to have rather improved upon nature's meth ods. When he announced to the world that he had perfected a process for hatching terrapin eggs without the aid of either sun or artificial heat, the scientists ridiculed the idea. An emi nent specialist of the United States Bureau of Fisheries pronounced Mr. Barbee a fraud. He said the thing simply couldn't be done. Thereupon Mr. Barbee packed a number of boxes with sand and terrapins and eggs, and not in wrath, but in a very de termined mood, lie took a train for Washington. There he went to a prominent hotel, set up his sand boxes in the lobby, and sent for the doubt ing fishery expert, the newspapermen, and all and sundry to come and see terrapin brought\into the world with out the aid of artificial heat or sun light. The scientists and reporters arrived in time, but no more punc tually than the infant reptiles. Those triumphantly emerged from their shells at the psychological moment, to the complete dumbfounding of the scribes and sages. Since then the fame and fortune of H0.114 < ~We WHHH Barbee's terrapin farm have grown apace. Almost every year Mr. Bar bee goes to New York and hatches a few terrapin in public just to give the newspapermen something to write about. And everyone who comes to Savannah goes out to see Barbee's terrapin farm, and eat terrapin stevy. Mr. Barbee shows and explains ab solutely everything—except the' sec , ret. "It is something mixed with the sand," is all he will tell you about that. Many distinguished persons have come to wonder at this unique method of artificial incubation. AVilliam Jen nings Bryan journeyed to the farm, and Mr. Barbee placed an egg in his hand just as the youthful terrapin strolled forth, to the delight and amazement of the statesman. The in fant terrapin is a most precocious and appealing mite. Mr. Barbee sells them for fifty cents apiece as pets. Society women have been known to keep them in mahogany boxes with brass trimmings. They display a good deal of intelligence, and become very tame. One young lady terrapin by the name of Toby has spent her entire life of two years In Mr. Barbee's pocket. She has been handled by thousands of per sons and is known to everyone in Sa vannah. Her chief accomplishment is wiping her eyes with one forefoot when told to do so. The sale of these young terrapins at fifty cents each just about pays the expenses of operating the plant, leav ing the returns form the sale of the greater part of the stock at three dollars each as clear profit. The demand for diamond-back ter j rapin is not a large one; but it is much larger than the supply. Mr. Barbee I asserts that the younger generation does not appreciate terrapin and sel dom eats it excejit for the sake of J splurging. The heyday of the terra- I pin's fame was before the war, when | these toothsome reptiles were abun dant all over the South. To-day they are chiefly appreciated by persons who learned to eat them long ago. Very conservative clubs, where elderly colonels and majors foregather, and very expensive hotels, which must have the most expensive foods on their menus, are Mr. Barbee's best custom ers, and they take all that he can produce. He does something of a business in canned terrapin, and a mysterious Chinaman In Philadelphia buys all the old males that are too tough to be eaten. What he does with them, nobody knows. 19
