sSaiLS TKiP ON RAZOR EDGE
Scientist Makes interesting Discovery
While Studying MolIusk's Method
Of Locomotlon.

when photographing the snail"
writes Professor Ward in the Strand,
Il was surprised at the fact that even
the rough cut edge Of a sheet Of glass
presented no difficulties TO its loco
motion; its even pace was continued
in spite Of the fact that the sharp cor
ner appeared to be penetrating its
body There, too, we have exhibited
the animals delicate sense Of touch,
and this led me to make further ex-
pertinent.
after l had placed the snail on the
butt of a razor's blade II slowly moved
along the back of the blade and then
climbed completely over the sharp
edge, the razor being in excellent CON
dition. AS the successive waves
brought the fore part of its foot near
the edge of the blade its head was
held low down, and the lower and
shorter pair of feelers nearly touched
the blade, as II feeling the way.
"At the moment when the sharp
edge was reached the small feelers
were fully extended toward 1t. and
Just at the very instant when / ex-
pected to see them cut off they were
both instantly retracted. They were
little more than hair breadth away,
and though the lower feelers possess
no eyes, yet by their sudden move
ment l was quite convinced that the
snail at that instant recognized dam
ger.
"Still the foot travelled on, and
slowly the snail dragged it's whole
weight Of exactly one and a half
ounces over the edge, later moving to-
ward the butt and remaining perfectly
unframed. The species experimental
with was the Roman or edible kind,
which accounts for its comparatively
large weight, it being the largest Of
British snails."

Tour Of an English Choir.

We have at least one "big thing" to
our credit that America has not so far
accomplished. The Sheffield Choir,
now singing in Australia, represents
the biggest touring musical enterprise
on record.
It numbers 230 all told, and when
they return to Yorkshire in a few
weeks hence they will have covered
$4,000 miles in seven months. The
cost Of the tour will be 100000, the
transport and hotel expenses absorb
ing a45,00O. The choir has sung to
crowded audiences in Canada, New
Zealand and Australia, and If the re-
ceipts are equal to the expenses the
promoters will be satisfied. The
youngest member Of the choir is a
boy of 10, the Oldest a man of u,

navigating the globe hatless.-London

THERE TO RESToCK WARREN
Normandy Peasant as Ready to Rec
ognlze Good Thing as Any
American Flnancier.

A distinguished Partisan, with a
country place in Normandy, once
maintained near that place a rabbit
warren of few acres in the midst OF
cultivated fields.
The enterprise was a source of
plentiful income to the Normandy
peasants, who took the opportunity
to plant choice vegetables in the ad-
joining fields. Then they demanded
large compensation for the alleged
damage done by the rabbits.
After a while, however, the owner
of the warren began to grow tired OF
the arrangements. He reckoned that
under the existing state OF things the
few rabbits he shot cost him about
twenty dollars each, which was rather
too much, even for an enthusiastic
sportsman. So he determined to de-
stroy the game preserve.
There were only four or five bur-
rows in the Enclosure, and a few fer
rets soon killed all the occupants.
One night, after all the rabbits had
been destroyed, the owner happened
to visit his former preserve, and de-
tected man skulking along under
the trees with a large bag on his
back. The owner at once jumped to
the conclusion that the man had come
to steal wood. When he challenged
the intruder the supposed thief took
TO his heels. leaving the bag behind
him. 1t was found to be filled with
rabbits of both sexes.
The man was no thief, but a neigh
Dor of the Partisan, who. shrewdly
reasoning that there could be no more
damages If there were no more rab-
bits, had thought ii advisable to re-
stock the warren.

managed by dint of close scrutiny to
make out the name of an agent in
Kew.
She peered into the big rambling
rooms within and another breath of
joy escaped her. Genius lurked in
Celia's eyes. She knew that with
time and the consent of the agent she
could turn the inside of that old
house into a veritable dream of
beauty. She cast a regretful glance
at the unkept garden and shook her
head.
my house will have to shine like
a jewel If want people to see it
through this awful ruin of grounds"
But her spirits were in no way
dampened by the outlook, but she had
her dreams about landscape garden
ing that would set off the house.
Once within the tiny office OF the
agent. Celia made known her desire.
There is an old tumble-down house
down there" She pointed her finger
in the direction whence she had come.
Il want you to let me make over the
interior at my own expense" Celia
smiled upon the agent.
Il am sorry" he said, and really
felt SO, 'but a chap has only ten min
utes ago"
Don't tell me l can't have it,"
Celia felt on the verge of tears.
THAT house has been vacant about
fifteen years, and now two people
want it. This young chap wanted to
do something to the garden-he says
1t will enhance the value of the prop
erty and give him the advertising he
needs"
"Ol" Celia breathed joyously. my
plans wouldn't interfere In the least
with bis. Do you suppose he would
mind my doing the INTERIOR"
The agent knew that II the girl
looked at the landscape gardener with
those appealing gray eyes he would
no doubt buy the house for her.
'tYou might suggest 1t TO him. His
name is Gaynor-Tom Gaynor." The
agent, smiled as Celia hurriedly left
the once, This was certainly bis
lucky day.

Satisfactory
BARGAINS
BY Molly McMaster

(copyrisht. r0rr, BY Associated Literary PrsssJ
Celia had chosen the suburb Of Kew
as a splendid place for her experiment
in advertising. II was not far from
town, and the houses seemed to be
of more or less distinctive charac-
ter.
"The people there no doubt would
appreciate artistic interiors;" argued
Celia as she boarded the train.
The train was crowded. 'They
are always crowded." was her com
ment as she trailed through the car
looking for a seat II she could not
find an unoccupied seat Celia always
chose to sit beside a man. They
usually sit quiet and read their pa
pers," she ruminated as she sat down
beside a good-looking man who,
though ample of frame, did not oc-
cupy more than half of the seat.
He scarcely looked UP when Celia
slipped quietly down beside him. His
eyes when the train had pulled out
of the tunnel swept in every vestige
Of the passing landscape.
Once or twice he sat up quickly
and peered at some vanishing scene
and once his arm touched her shout
der. Celia drew into her corner Of
the seat. The young man evidently
mistook her drawing away for peev-
ness and after apclogizing with ex-
aggerated politeness he returned to
more frigid contemplation of things
passing
Celia felt certain relief when the
train pulled in at Kew. Nor did she
observe, in her hurried exit that the
young man also had left the train.
Had she known it it would not have
mattered now for Celia's mind was in
tent on looking for an old house that
would seem lost to all chance Of ever
having another occupant.
She strolled about and began to fear
that there were no old houses in Kew
and that she would have to try anoth-
er suburb. She turned a corner and
there! A lovely old Manufacturing
house lay in the midst of a hopeless
ly dilapidated garden.
Celia drew a breath of joy. The
sign that bore the agents name was
almost thing Of the past, but Celia

NEW RACE NEAR THE POLE
Explorers Steffansson and Anderson
Find Men With Red Boards in
Victoria Land.

Tidings of a hitherto unknown race
haze been received in dispatches from
Stefansson and Anderson, who are
conducting an expedition In the far
north.
The strange race was located In
Victoria Land, north of Cape Bexley.
One theory of their origin is that
they may be descendants Of an an
cient Icelandic colony from Green
land. OF unusual interest is the fact
that the natives bear names that can
be translated into English, suggesting
that survivors of the Franklin expedi-
ton may have lived among them.
They have some Scandinavian char
acteristics and are different from any
other American aborigines. Two OF
them wore boards of a reddish color
and all had light eyebrows. Nothing
learned from them indicated that the
race as 1t exists today had ever seen
a white man.
The courier who first went forward
to parley with them almost lost his
life, when a native attacked him with
knife. Friendly advances were final
ly successful, and by means Of the
sign language and the assistance OF
native guides communication was held,
The race was an aboriginal one
called Acknowledgment. 1t had
been believed that the territory was
uninhabited.

Unknown Lower California.

The interior Of Lower California is
today nearly blank on our maps and
is possibly less well known from a
geographical and a geological stand
point than any other region OF equal
area in North America. The Mexican
government has at last begun a thor
ough exploration of this terra incog-
nita.
During the last autumn the Institute
Geologic equipped four parties, each
comprising two biologists, to explore
the northern part of the peninsula.
The work will be extended to the
southern part this year-Scientifc

HAS A BIG CAPITAL
Would Fix 15 Gents Uniform Price Ov. CT the COuntry-Diifers From
 Rock Hill Pl,tn.

Little Rock, June 10.-There are two concerns that are endeavoring to gain foothold in Arkansas in the prosecution of more or less Utopian plan to control the cotton market of the world establish prices firmly and prevent fluctuations in the future.
 George Dole Wadley, of Boiling broke, Ga, president of the Southern States Cotton Corporation, is in Little Rock attempting to interest local people in his project This corpora tlon has an authorized capital stock of $l,ooo,ooo and participation certifi- cates amounting to $6,000,000 It's general offices are at Macon, Ga It IS proposed to fix a price of Ia cents for cotton, of which 4 cents is witl- held from the cash price to provide a sinking fund for the purchase of sur plus cotton. Six men in each county of the cotton belt will buy all the cot eoi III lhClI CouItlco, dHu u CculS DGI pound will be paid by draft, and inter- esting-bearing certificates issued for the remaining cents. ys
 Differing from the Rock Hill plan, MT. Wadley holds that the acreage of cotton must be increased, and that the farmers must hold their surplus cot ton. Texas and Georgia have already been organized under thiss~ plan. and Arkansas comes next. a;aaSfs
 The Cotton Growers Co-Operative Society of Atlanta, sGa,S is also flood- ing the state with it's literature. It is understood that the vice president and general manager, F. c. Wads- worth, was formerly associated with President Wadley, and then formed a concern of his own with $50,OOO capi- tai stock and $2OO,O0O,0OO in bonds, and an elaborate system of holding and purchase.
