The SIowness of the Snail.

"A snail's pace" need no longer be used as a term more or less indefinite. Those skilled in the science of ''snailology" can tell you just to a dot the snail's rate of travel. These interesting facts were as- certained by some wonderful expert ments at the Florence Qtaly) Polytech- mic institution in 1889, and those inclined to be exact can now use figures to sup port their arguments.
 It was all done in this way: A half a dozen of the mollusks were permitted to crawl between two points 10 feet apart. Exact time was kept from the start to the finish, and thus the average 'pace" was ascertained. The experiInenters re- duced their figures into tables of feet, yards, rods, furlongs, etc., and thus found that it would take snail exactly IA days to travel mile.-Philadelphia Press
