La fuerZa de los CaraCOlec

Ell vulgar caracol de jardin es. en-
proportion su tamano uno de los
animales mas fuertes del mundo. FL
hecho ha sido probado por dos estu-
diantes franceses que criaban caraco-
les para hacer carreras con ellos.
Habiendo visto que uno de estos mo-
luscos CANADA siempre 6 casi STEM
pre-, dccidieron hacer con el 10 que Sc
hace con los caballos de carrera en-
estos casos: ponerle tin peso que le
quitase alguna ventaja. Ell caracol,
en- efecto, fue handicapped seghn
el termino deportivo. Para clio, CO.
mo no era facil ponerle TN peso sobre
la cascara, sc lie hizo arrastar TN ca
rrito de juguete. Ell resultado fue
asom broso. Eel diminuto animalito
movla sin gran trabajo TN peso de
cerca de I'm kilo.
Ante semejsnte hecho los estudian-
tes resolvieron averiguar Ell maxi
mum del peso que podrfan arrastar los
caracoles. Para sus experlmentos,
aband onaron el pequcf1o caracol de
los iardines parisienses, de que hasta
entonces Sc hablan servido, y busca-
ron la variedad comestible de gran
tamaflo que Sc cria en- los vifiedos de
Borgof1a.
Despues de una serie de ensayos,
en- los que sc fue aumentando gra-
dualmente el peso del carrito, I'm tiro
de seis caracoles borgof1eses arrastro
TN peso de doce kilos hasta una dis
tancia de veinte cent1metros, 10 cual
supone, en- la misma distancla, dos
ki1os para cada caracol.
Ell experimento final Sc hizo con un
ochecillo de niflo, llevando dentro
una criatura viva. Sc engancharon 4
el catorce caracoles. y sin gran diff
cultad 10 arrastraron estos en- una
distancia de casi ounce ccntimctros.

High school Day at Uolumbla
The Third Annual High School
Day celebration conducted uhder
the auspices OF the University Of.
Missouri, win be held in Colum.
bia on Saturday, May 4th The pur
pose Of this gathering is to allow
the High School students OF the
state TO meet together under the
auspices Of the University in ath-
letic and debating and essay con
tests. On the morning of this
day there will be a baseball game
between teams representing the
High Schools Of Kansas City and
st. Louis. The High Schools in
these cities are now playing a
series OF games to determine the
championship, and the winners
of the two cities are to play in
Columbia on May 4th. Two Of
these games have been played in
the past, and each of them has
been won by a Kansas City
school. On account Of this fact
the schools Of st. Louis are max.
ing an unusual effort this year to
to turn out winning teams. In
the afternoon will be held the
Fourth Annual Interscholastic
Track and Field Meet. In 1906.
this Meet was held in Columbia
on May 5th, and there were 225
boys competing in athletic events
Present indications are that this
year there will be at least $50,
and possibly more. Appropriate
medals will be given to winners
of individual events, and a ban
ner and loving cup to winners of
the relay race and the Meet re.
spectively. During the day pre-
liminary contests in Debating
and Essay work will be held, and
the final Contest will be held in
the evening in the University au-
di orium. The Board of Cura.
tors have established a scholar
ship amounting to Sl25. 90, which
shall be given to the winner Of
this contest, emitting such con.
testant to the amount Of money
stated and exempting him from
payment of University fees ex.
those for laboratory work. The
same sort of scholarship applies
to the winner of the Essay Con
test, which is only open to ladies'.
These contests are the second Of
their kind held at the University,
and are attracting a great deal Of
attention. The number of en-.
tries this year will probably dou-
BILE the number entered in 1906,
which was 10.
These contests, both athletic
and debating, are conducted for
the benefit of the High School
students of the state, and the
committee in charge of the DAYS
exercises hopes to induce every
High School in the state to have
representatives In these various
contests, or at least 10 have dele.
cations attending them. The.
railroads running into Columbia
are makinga rate of one fare plns
Scots for the round trip, and
special excursion trains will be
run from various places over the
state. II is expected that this
will be the biggest High School
celebration this year in the West

A recent legislative event marks an
epoch in the treatment of the surviv-
ing Union soldiers of the Civil War
and the survivors of the Mexican War
After debate of two hours the Senate
without a dissenting vote, passed a ser
vice pension bill for soldiers over the
age of e., beginning at the rate of So
a month, to be increased to SO at the
age Of IS, and $40 at the age of TO
This is a material advance over the
present rates, and also more directly
recognizes age alone as a conclusive
claim to pension, TO be obtained with
out any payment to pension agents.
The maximum allowed means that men
who offered their lives at the call of
the government, and who saved from
disruption what has become one of the
first Of nations, shall not lack the
means Of simple subsistence in their de-
clining days.
In the year that ended June 80 last.
$4,000 pensioners died. and for the
first time since the Civil War the de-
crease in the pension roll exceeded the
increase. Though the whole number
of pensioners is but little below 1,OOO.-
600, only two-thirds are Civil War vet
Grams. and the mortality in their ranks
this year will scarcely fall below 40
coo. 1t is to q small remnant this
token of gratitude comes. and they are
vanishing at the rate of a hundred a
day. Only few thousand survivors
OF the Mexican war remain.-Illus-
trated Home Journal

The Judge Sfnned, Too.

Writ Gerrare, in his volume on
Greater Russia" says that in the
Cars country one may not call an
other a fool. There is a Scriptural in
junction against that, and it is conse-
quently a legal offense, too. Not long
ago a ''vint' player called his partner
a fool for needlessly trumping their
trick The offended man brought his
accuser before the court. The culprit
pleaded provocation and, knowing that
the judge was a passionate follower of
the national game, explained the mat
ter in detail. The Judge became inter-
ested and got excited as the particulars
of the play were given. Il took the
trick with my queen, and, instead of
throwing away, my partner played the
king" shouted the accuser. THE fool ="
said the judge. Then he hastily dis
missed the case.
