The carrier snail is to the sea what
the junkman is to the land. 1t receives
its name from its habit of carrying for
eign objects on its back. Nothing
comes amiss to the carrier snail If it
is not too big. Cast-off shells Of small
molluscs, bits Of broken coral. tiny
stones, and even fragments of broken
glass dropped overheard from passing
vessels are cemented firmly to the
edges of the growing shell. Nor is 1t

old ones already piled upon it's back

crabs, ETC., there is method in its mad.

GROWING Umbrella Hand Ies.

At Maule, small village near
Paris, is carried on singular indus
try which is little known. 1t is a
nursery for the cultivation of trees
suitable for use as umbrella handles.
walking sticks and alpenstocks.
Nearly 500 acres of ground are given
over to ash, oak, chestnut and maple
saplings. One year after planting
these are cut off near the root so as
to make them grow several branches,
which are then kept free from sec
ondary stems.
The most curious part of the indus
try comes the following year. In
cisions are made In the bark, thus en-
craving upon it various designs. When
the bark is stripped these designs are
found traced on the wood. At the end
of the third year the branches are
cut, stripped of their bark, bent into
various shapes and sent to the manu-
facturers. Certain forms Of handles
are shaped while the branches are

River Flows Inland From Sea.

A currant of water will flow back
and forth in a tide-water river, but
on the Island of Cephalonia. near
Greece, says Popular Mechanics. Is
the curious phenomena of a river
steadily flowing inward from the sea
and disappearing. All rivers naturally
flow toward the lower levels to the
sea. and this curious instance on the
island in the Mediterranean is not du'
plicated anywhere else in the world
so far as is known.
The sea, which is almost tideless'
enters the land at four points where
the coast is practically on level with
the surface of the sea. These -four
streams unite to form the little river
that flows inland until 1t finally dis
appears in the limestone rocks and
sinks into the earth. The volume Of
the river is too great to be removed

Where does it go?

Buried him. Buried him without
knowing whether he was dead or
not?"
"Oh, no! Not that. He was dead

II IS all part OF our tendency to be

to think of the family Of the man who

of the man who has looted bank,
rather than to take into account the
broken depositors and their sharp suf-
terings. Hence the general approval
