Snail. Are Queer Creatures.

The snail is found everywhere, over
1900 species being known. Some OF
the large tropical snails. as bulimas,
form nests of leaves. their eggs being
as large as pigeons. The snail Is ex-
tremely skillful in mending Its shell.
and some curious experiments may be
made with them. Thus | have seen a
helix Of yellow species attached to
another shell Of reddish hue by cut
ting off the top whirl of the latter.
when the snail will proceed to weld
the two shells together and occupy
both, using the addition as a door and
possibly wondering at this sudden ex-
tension Of its house. In the winter
some of the snails hibernate or lie dor
mant until warm weather. A snail OF
the Philippine Islands has faculty OF
throwing of its tail when seized. This
Is also true of a West Indian variety,
