nations as the most daring rope per-
former afloat He was in the Ameri-

known man that ever went aloft.
The sliding wonder was born in Los
Angeles and is SO years old.
Eight years ago he slid down a g.
inch wire cable into the shaft Of the
Silver King mine in British Columbia.
Thirty-eight hundred feet below was q

The cable had broken and it was nee
essary for some one to so down the
rope and repcir the damage before the

teered and succeeded in splicing the

Later Mr.. Pernot received con-
signment of the variety "escargot

the success of his experiment has been
phenomenal. The colony has increased
so rapidly that in breeding season the
services of one man are required con-
stantly in the care of the thousands
of snails that crowd the confines of
their pens.
Snail raising is beset with few diff

boxes two feet wide and one and one
half feet in height. are arranged about
an open space. and the tops are COW
cred with wire netting fitted with
hinges Inside the boxes are numerous
lengths of drain tile, in and upon
which the snails cling in great num-
bers and in all stages of development.
The eggs of the snail, tiny in size
and whitish gray in color, are laid
in May or June, when large numbers
of the creatures gather in sunny
places. When about to lay the snail
burrows into the damp soil, sheltered
from the suns rays, and deposits from
thirty to fifty eggs that look like small
pills. Three or four similar deposits
are made and abandoned in a season.
Ordinarily the young snail gnaws its
way out OF the shell and to the sur
face within twenty or thirty days, but
instances have been noted of eggs that
have been dried and kept for many
wears and then returned to a moist
place. where they Matched in the usual
period.
The snails are liveliest in the early

American Papers.

Writing in the Independent on the
subject of the subserviency of the
German press to government influence
Poultney Bigelow expresses this opin-
ion of American newspapers: 1T Is
not for us Americans to brag about
our newspapers. and there are many
owners of great dailies who would look
more ornamental on the gallows than
in the top of tall editorial tower.
But whatever faults our papers have
from the standpoint of good taste or
private morals, on the whole, they

is to place them in q vessel, shells and
