The pictures are all of the modern

fine, and among them many by We're

fervent hope that the attack might
come soon.

OBJECTED TO BEING SHOCKED
Partisan PurVeyor of Snais Went Too
Far In His Efforts to Prevent
Petty Larceny.

klectrifying shop wares to prevent
larceny is an ingenious practice in
Paris. a man who sells snails near
the Bourse found that gourmets in
passing frequently "pinched' a hand

a brilliant idea, and connected the
wire baskets in which the snails are
olIefed Tor sale with an electric bat
terry in his shop. When a genuine
customer came along he cut off the
current. The snails themselves were
permanently electrified without appar-
ent harm. Anyhow. they did not OBJ

good TO eat after the treatment as be

d party Of schoOlboys passed the shop
and ''pinCAed' some OF them. They
had no sooner done so than they set
up hOwls which brought a crowd. In
qulrlng bystanders touched the snails,
also, and similarly yelled The cur

the snails, but transmitted a shock

dance. Having recovered, they rushed
into the shop and went for the shop

his establishment when the police
came and rescued him.
