A SNAIL THAT WouLp NOT STARvE

A SNAIL THAT WOULD NOT STARvE.
An Egyptian desert snail was re-
ceived at the British Museum on
March 25, 1916. The animal was not
known to be alive, as il had withdrawn
into its shell, and the specimen was ac-
cordingly gummed, mouth downward.
on TO tablet duly labled and dated,
and left to its fate. Instead of starv-
ing, this contentcd gastcrope simply
went to sleep in a quiet way, and
never woke up again for four yeass.
The tablet was then placed In tepid
water and the shell loosened, when
the dormant snail suddenly resuscita-
ted himself, began walking about in
the basin, and finally sat for his por.
trait. which may be seen of lfe-siZe in
Mr.. Woodward's Manual of the Mol
usca" Now, during those four years
the snail had never eaten II mouthful
of any food, yet he was quite as well
and fourishing ut the end Of the period
as he had been at its beginning.-Bet-

DEcAprrArEp ON ruE GALLows..

DEcAPITATED ON THE GALLoWS.-
A terribly painful scene attended the
execution OF James Madison Wyatt
Stone, in the jail-yard at Washington,
April 2 The gallows was located in
an enclosed space at the northeast
corner Of the building, and was twenty
five feet high, while a platform ten
feet square and drop Of about five
feet. The rope, to which n trigger
was attached. was concealed, after
leaving the gallows, in n square box
running into the kitchen, and it was
from this point that the trap was
sprung. AT l:l0 p III. the Doosc was
placed around his neck, with the knot
under the left ear. The signal was
given and the drop fell. The body
came To the ground, and it was at first
supposed that the head had slipped
through the moose. but in an instant
thereafter the head, which had been
entirely severed from the body and re-
maned in the moose fell abut four feet
from the body. Blood, spurted from
the body and spattered the beams OF
the gallows, but in two minutes all
muscular action had ceased 1t was
picked up by one Of the physicians
present, and the face appeared placid
and the lips moved as il about TO say
something. Stone was q mulatto,
about 36 years Of age, and was exc.
cuted for the murder Of his wife.
