list would give the Republicans control.

Wonderful Snail.

There are over 1000 species OF
snails and they are found in all parts
OF the world Some are even SMALLER
than pin head, while others, in
France and Italy, for Instance, are
cultivated for food and are large
enough to make good mouthful.
Snails are vegetarians, and have jaws
and tongues OF saw-like edge. the
number OF points on each running
into the thousands. On the approach
OF cold weather the snail throws a
film over the mouth OF its sholl,
which tightens like drumhead AS
il becomes colder, other films are
added on the plan of storm windows.
Extensive drouth will cause the
snail to close its doors in the same
way to prevent the evaporation OF its
bodily moisture and dry up These
little animals are possessed OF aston
ishing vitality, regaining activity af-
ter having been frozen in solid
blocks OF ice. and enduring degree
OF heat for weeks which daily crisps
vegetation.
