Intelligence Of sn.Ils.

Camille spiess. a noted naturalist.
records remarkable case OF animal
sagacity. At the foot OF the Jura
mountains In the canton OF vaud there
lives farmer who raises edible snails
thelix pomatia)- He has as many as
10000 OF them at one time in an inclos-
ure surrounded by wooden fence
about two feet high To prevent the
escape OF the mollusks the top OF the
fence Is covered with a board. the edge
Of which Is armed with sharp metallic
points. Lately the snaiIs have discov-
cred the means to surmount this bar
rier. A number OF them climbed the
fence until they reached the top, then
forming sort OF ladder. those behind
passed over the shells of the others in
front. and SO all but one got safely
over the top without being impaled
on the metal points. This simple
story proves" says NJ Spiess, that
the vineyard snail is not without cum
ming; his behavior in this case gives
evidence OF reasoning faculty such
as we have never before encountered
In his actions" One must go very low
down the animal scale to reach the
last trace Of thought and Will.
The Elbert County tribune., 1903-01-22

THERE is not newspaper man in
the state of Colorado who is
more thoroughly loved By the
many and more energeticaliy
hated by the few than Herbert George.
the versatile editor of Georges Weekly.
Away back In 1884 Mr. George was
travelling man. and while in that ca
pacity organized the Travellers Protec-
i've Association. To better further the
interests OF the order he established
paper called ''The Roed" and for a
number of years both the paper and
the order were very extensively
known. The little paper sprang into
immediate popularity and Mr. George
gave up his position as n traveller and
devoted his time TO the paper. In 1855
he wrote an article on trusts and COR
porations that excited the ire OF the
Travelling Mems Association, and as a
result the official organship was taken
away from him. In this offensive ed
itorial he predicted the time would
come when the trust would throw half
the travelling men of the country out
OF job. and Mr.. George has lived TO
