"A Snail's Pace"
Recorder.

ga snail's pace need not be used
any longer as term more or less in
definite. By an interesting experiment
at the Florence Polytechnic Institute a
few days ago the pace was acertained ex-
actly and reduced to figures, which may
now be used by persons who favor the
use of the exact terms. 4 nalf dozen
of the mollusks were permitted TO crawl
between two points ten feet apart, and
from this the average pace was ascer-
tanned. In working the calculation into
feet. yards, rods, furlongs and miles it
was found that it would take a small
snail exactly fourteen days to crawl a
mile st. Louis Republic.

European Governments Charged With Civ
ing Aid to CHILEAN Insurgents
LONDON. August 4.-The secretary Of the
Gillian legation is authority for the statement
that large sums Of money have been contributed
by interested Europeans to detain and if posi-
Bile to destroy the new CHILEAN ships of war
The opposition shown tc permitting the
ironclads to obtain crews is known,
the secretary says, to have been in
spired from London. But a few weeks
ago a collection was taken up among the lead
ing firms friendly to the insurgents. ostensibly
for use in providing for sick and injured for
eigners in Chill, but really the object being to
purchase the favor of those who might be in a
position to assist the insurgents and damage
Balmaceda. In Lisbon the money plan WAS
more influential than m Paris. The Portuguese
officials we're hungry for brides and accepted
with voracity the sums offered by the congress
sionalists. When one Of the new CHILEAN ironclads
appeared in the harbor of Lisbon the Portu-
guesc officials tried to earn the brides they had
received by refusing to permit the vessel to OBJ
tain recruits either as sailors or marines The
Errauiz managed, however. 70 get recruits and
is now safely on its wav 10 America The Chill
ian legations both in London and Paris are
highly indignant over the treatment that Balma-
ccdn has received in this matter at the hands of
the European governments and they predict
that when the war is over with the Balmaceda
party triumphant. there will be a reckoning
both for France and England.
