about as easy thing as Nicks could
have been asked to do, says the New
York World, for while he was sailor
he became known to the tars of all
nations as the most daring rope per-
former afloat. He was in the Ameri-
can navy and was also in the mer-
chant service, and is no doubt the best
known man that ever went aloft.
The sliding wonder was born in Los
Angeles and is 80 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 a
cage containing number of miners.
The cable had broken and it was nee
essary for some one to go down the
rope and repcir the damage before the
men could be rescued. Nicks volun-
teered and succeeded in splicing the
cable.
The daring of this remarkable slide
may be judged from the sketches at
the side of the picture, which repre-
sent the New York World building.

snails Feeding on Cabbage Leaf.

teemed of benefit in the treatment Of
throat and lung affections. The var
iety imported is carpivorous and they
lived but short time on the vegetable
diet to which they were subjected.
Later Mr.. Pernot received a con-
signment of the variety "escargot
Bordelaise," which is herbivorous, and
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
ficulties. All that is needed is small
enclosure in moist place, so protect
ed that the crawling gasteropod can
not stray away with it's shell house
on it's back.
In the Los Angeles snailery the pens
are built under a large windmill tank,
where water is plentiful. Several long
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 o. 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 it's
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
years and then returned to a moist
place, where they Matched in the usual
period.
The snails are liveliest in the early
morning. This is their feeding time,
and they come out in myriads to re-
ceive a shower bath from garden
hose and to feast on the cabbage, let
