MunIcal snails.

A French naturalist claims that there
are few II any animals which have a
higher appreciation of music than
snails. Place some snAils on pane of
glass, he says, and you will find that
as they move over It they will make
musical sounds similar to those which
a person Gun produce by wetting his
finger and then rubbing 1t around o
glass tumbleF. Complete airs, he points
out, have been played on tumblers in
this way, and he expresses the opinion
that quito as good results can be OBJ
tanned by using snails instead of fin
gers.
