sNAIL,s SENSE OF SHELL.
Can Detect odOrs with Every Portion
of It's Small Body.

According to the researches Of
Emile Yung the sense OF smell in
the snail seems to be located not
only in the feeling organs, but all
over the body, as experiment
proves that the snail can perceive
odors by means of sensory cells
which are placed in different parts
of the body, quite apart from the
special organs which might be sup.
posed to be his only means of sen
sation, saws the Scientific Amer
lean. The idea of sensory cells of
this kind distributed over the
body of an animal is an interest
ing one, and is clearly brought ont
in NJ Nung's experiments, which
form the subject of paper read
before the academic des Sciences.
He observes the large snail (helix
POmatia) which is common in
France. 1t has been generally adj
mitted since the observations of
MOquin-Tandon that the snail has
a good sense Of smell and the or
gan is seated at the end of the
large feelcrs. Hence the term of
nasal organ which he gives to the
latter, and the expressions Olfac-
tory ganglia or phinophOric, etc,
which a number of scientists now
use for designating these nerves
and ganglia.
The writer explored the body of
the helix with a camePs hair
brush dipped in a noncorrosive
odOrant, such as essence Of cam
Omile. He finds that if the olfac-
tory sensibility exists in the large
fcelers il is not localized there ex-
clusively. The small feelers, the
under part, the skin of the back,
and, in fact, the entire surface not
covered by the shell, is affected
by the OdOr. The numerous eX-
perimentS which he made show
that the snail is still i'm the stage
Of diffusion of the OlfactOry sense
and can in fact smell OdOrs at all |
parts of its skin, as Cuvier already |
The fcelcrs aremOre sen
sitive to odOrs than in the back, |
etc, but. contrary TO the opinion /
Of Moquin-TandOn, a snail which |
had it's four feclers amputatcd did |
not change its manner Of living |
and was able TO find it's food: il |
also fled from diSagrpcablc or
harmful OdOrs. 4 micrOScOpical |

giving 4 Spccial sense to any part !

GIRLY GIRL AGAIN IN FAVOR.

The big athletic girl is on tn
wane in popular favor in England,
according 10 Il curious investiga
tor. who declares that a careful
study of the statistics Of recent
fashionable marriages show that,
i'm the matrimonial market, at
any rate. the little woman is in
brisk demand, while there is a dis
tinct slump in "massiyes" and
"musculars," says the New York
journal.
Moreover. "A searching crOss.ex-
animation directed upon certain
well-known theatrical stage man
ayers has elected the fact that
even behind the footlights the
quality that is euphemistically
described as fine" is no longer the
one thing needful in the eyes of a
manager selecting ladies for
thinking parts" upon the stage.
Whatever the cause may be, the
. fact undoubtedly remains that it
is no longer the tall girls who have

The truth of the matter is that
the muscular" and masculine
side of the business has been a
good deal Oyerworked by the mod

And the modern man is grad

BERKELEY. April 15.-After elab-
crate arrangements for wedding had
been made Miss Estella Roberts of
Ventura and George Burmeister
ignored all the conventions and the
arrangements and we're married quiet
ly in San Francisco. The wedding
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
L. c. Sanford of st. Johns Episcopal
Church last Tuesday, and, although
the brides sister was informed of it,
their friends were not told until to-
day. The young people excused them
selves on the ground that they did not
care for the pomp and tinsel of a reg

The bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Roberts Of Ventura. She
has been the guest of her sister, Mrs.
George Richardson of 1880 Delaware
street, for three months and met Mr..

Mrs. Sarah L. Bump has disregarded
the wish of her deceased husband
Nelson Bump, as expressed in his WILL
and has threatened the other heirs
with a will contest unless she is given
a third of the estate, valued at $780,
600 Mrs. Bump was decedent's sec
ond wife and was left the family resi-
dence at 91S Chester street and $4,000,
while the bulk of the estate was left
to the four daughters of Bump by his
first wife. The deceased particularly
states in his will, as if he anticipated
trouble over the division he had made
of the property, that If Mrs. Bump
should bring legal proceedings to set
aside his will she should be disin-
herited entirely.
Sarah A. Dean and Jessie II.
Thomas were given special letters OF
administration on the estate to-day by
Judge Greene. In their petition they
set forth that the widow is not salts
fed with her share and has threatened
suit unless she is given third; that 1t
will probably be long time before
matters are settled and that in the
meantime the estate needs attention.
Upon this showing the letters were
issued.
The children and heirs of the tes-
tator are Lydia ]. Thomas. Annie r.
Ivey, Ellen McFadden and Sarah A.
Dean. They purpose giving their step
mother battle royal in case she car
ries out her threat of attempting to set
aside the will of their late father.
In his will the testator aff1rms that
all of his property is separate prop
erty, it having been accumulated by
him prior to his last marriage, and 1t
is to this clause that the children
point for justification of their re-
fusal to give up any of their share of
the estate.

Scavengers Lose in First
Attack on Franchise of
the Incinerating Company
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
lis Broadway, April 10.


Ills Broadway, April 10.
Police Judge George Samuels to-day
sustained the validity of the garbage
crematory ordinance by an opinion
overruling a demurrer TO the COM
plants sworn out against a number of
scavengers that were arrested on u
charge Of Illegally collecting garbage.
This opinion is the starting point Of
a test Of the law which Will be carried
to the Supreme Court of the State in
behalf Of the Scavengers' Union.
For the scavengers, Attorney J. II.
Creely argued on his demurrer that
the ordinance granting exclusive
rights TO the Pacific Incinerating Com
pany to handle the garbage was un-
constitutional in that IT invaded pri-
vate rights and deprived persons of
their property He claimed that the
City Council had acted in excess of its
police powers in passing the ordI-
nance
Attorney l. S. Church, representing
the crematory company, maintained
that the council. in matters affecting
public sanitation and health. had very
broad powers and that il had full war
rant TO prohibit or to regulate a busi-
ness that might become a menace to
public health or might become a pub
lie nuisance
His Honor upheld the right of the
City Council to enact the law.
Attorney Greedy said the next step
would be an appeal to the Superior
Court and thence, If necessary. TO the
Supreme Court. Police Judge Nor
timer Smith viii hear a number of

DEGREES ARE SUFFICIENT.

The candidate for a scientific place is not
examined at-~all. His degrees sufficient
for the commission. All the system aims to
do is to satisfy itself that the men are quail
fed for the position to which they aspire
Another criticism is that the system Great IS
an offce-seeking class. l don't know exactly
what that means but / presume that 1t s
born OF a protest against men holding
office for life. But that is where the power
OF the thing lies If men could be removed
IL would be the spoils system again. II IS
designed to prevent removals of an arbitrary
kind
The system does no more to create office
holding class than does the Southern Pacific
Company or any other great employing sys-
tenn 1t IL simply the common way of
engaging who will give the Government
efficient service.
Mr.. Cooley next read letter from
former Governor Taft of the Philip
pines in reply to the Presidents in
quiry regarding the civil service sys-
tenn in the islands and his opinion upon
it. In this letter Mr.. Taft advocated
an extension of the system.
THE Civil Service Commission needs

of the system will not be as gratifying
as II has BEEN"
