NOW IT'S PINK SNAILS
FOR THE FAMILY PETS
Mollusk May Take the Place of the
Poodle i'm philadelphia Society.

hiladelphia-U the oft-repeat-
ed assertion that Philadelphians are
unable to catch snails is literally true.
the family aquariums of this city may
be stocked with pink snails within a
year. This, according to the state
ment of experts on aquarium pets,
who held meeting of the Aquarium
Society at 1414 Arch street If a
French poodle be no longer attractive
to any of the fair sex; if a nice, cute,
perfectly tractable and decidedly nov
el pet is desired one that can be car
ried anywhere in a glass bottle if ne
cessary, it has arrived. The pink
snail is it, and Philadelphia has the
honor of being the first city to i'm
port a pink snail family. L. NJ. Dor
sey, Jr., recently brought two speci-
mems from Copenhagen. If Philadel-
phia proves to be strenuous enough
for them, according to Dorsey they
viii have by the end of the year
enough little pink snails to furnish
every family in town who wants that
sort of pet.

STATE WIDE SPELLING BEE.
Missouri School Officials Behind
Plan to Make Good Spoilers.

jefferson City, Mo.-Spelling. so
greatly neglected among the youth of
the present generation, is coming
back to its own in the Missouri
schools. In every county in the state
the best spoilers are being groomed
for a contest which is to be held in
this city in May when the county su-
perintendents will hold their annual
convention. The counties will pay the
expenses of their representatives Of
which each is entitled to one, and the
winner will get 500, while other
prizes will be given to the children
who come second and third.
The movement had its beginning at
the meeting last year of the county
superintendents. There was general
complaint that the youth of the day
could not spell, and a decision that
something should be done to prevent
something worse than the old simpli-
fled spelling movement of Colonel
Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie. The
result was the organization Of the
statewide bee.
All this winter there has been COM
poNiNioh ohhoh6 III thS
schools throughout the state. There
have been spelling bees in the lesser
schools, then in the townships, then
in the counties and the competition
has become keen. These contests
have proved that some such move
ment was badly needed but have also
shown that the art of spelling has not
been lost altogether.

and they went to Vancorn, Iowa, a
week ago, to be married. While they

The 1000 SQUARE feet of land on

The 10000 square feet of land on
which the building stands cost about
s4.500,000. 1t cost s1,000,000 to dig
out the foundations and the basement
and the sub-basements. The cost of
construction will be nearly s9,O00,000,
making the whole pile an investment
of approximately s13, 100000. The
mere knowledge that such a building
was to be erected on the spot caused
the tax assessments on the property
to be raised from s2,250,O0O to s3,-
250,000.
There will be a floor space of 90
acres and 1000 offices, and it is fig
ured that the daily population of the
building will be 10000 and the tran
sient population about as many more.
