JACKS NOVEL POCKET PIECE
Had Carried Snail Around in Pocket
Until Children Were SnueIy Set
tied for Bedtime Talk.

When the children were snugly set
tied for the bedtime talk Jack fished
up snail shell IRON the depths of
his pocket, where he had been carry
ing it all day Tor this occasion. Tell
us all about that" he said. Il often
find them in the garden, but there is
never anything in them. / know that
the shells couldn't get there all alone.
but why do we never see the snails %
Because the snail is usually tucked
safely away inside the she'll" mann
ma answered "and knows too much
to come out when curious little boys
are around. II you will go into the
garden some warm sunny day just
after shower, you will perhaps be
able to find snail dragging himself
and his house along one of the walks.
When the weather is dry or cold they
close the door of their house with a
KIND of membrane that they manufac-
tllre themselves, Just as the spider
makes its web or the silkworm its
cocoon, During the winter they find
shelter somewhere in a crevice. or
make hole in the ground, which
they cover with dead leaves. Here
they remain safe and warm until the
first spring rains call them out in
search of food
THE snail has almost as many
teeth as the fly has eyes, often having
one or two hundred rows Of them. II
knows how to use them too, and often
does great mischief to gardens with
them. Some gardeners catch and de-
stroy them by spreading cabbage
leaves on the ground to attract them.
THE body of the snail is very soft,
and it has four horns, two long ones
and two short ones. You will notice
two tiny black spots at the end of
the long horns. These are the eyes;
and If you look very closely when the
snail first puts out his horns, you will
see these eyes move up until they
reach the tips.
In some countries snails are con
sidered good to eat. The ancient
Romans kept them in an Enclosure
made for that purpose, and fed them
on meal and boiled wine until they
were fattened and ready for the table.
The most wonderful thing about the
snail is its power to heal its own in
juries. 1t is one of the most remark
able physicians on earth, but its only
patient is Itself Not only is it able
to heal wounds on any part of its
body, but even the head may be cut
off, and another one win grow. -

ORIGIN OF FLYING MACHINES
When Balloons Were First Invented
No Man Gould Be Found Who Was
Willing to Make : 3cension.

When the first flying machine or
balloon was invented no man could be
found to venture to go up in it, so
they placed sheep, a cock and a duck
in the basket and let them try it.
This was in Paris on June 5, 1888.
The balloon was made by two young
men, sons of paper maker, and was
filled with hot air. 1t went up to a
height of nearly half mile and then
gradually sank back to earth. and the
animals were found contentedly re
posing in the basket as if nothing had
happened.
This experiment was thought so sue
cessful that on November p the same
year a young naturalist named De Ro-
zier and an army officer, the Marquis
d'Arlandes, went up in a balloon and
stayed aloft about half an hour. This
made young De Rozier so bold that
two years afterward he tried to cross
the English channel and was drowned

starting point Each match must
alike commence, and find its des-
tination in an empty square. The
middle square must not be count
ed at ALL neither for the start nor
finish, nor in the course of a move.
1t will be found that there is little diff
ficulty in securing squares for FIVE,
or even six, matches; but the placing
of the entire seven is by no means a
simple matter
The solution is as follows: The
square from which the first move is
made must receive the next match.
# the start commenced at j, for in.
stance, and the match consequently
found its destination in 4, it must be
arranged that the next falls in /. The
counting of the second would there
fore have to begin at six. Similarly
the third match is made to drop into
by starting at 3, and so on until all
seven have been placed.

BUSY LITTLE TREE PLANTERS
BY 5urying Nuts of Chestnut, Hickory
and Walnut Squirrels Perform
Most important Duty.

Contrary to common belief, the gray
squirrels of the United States do not
lay up their winter store OF nuts in
mass, but bury each one separate and
apart from the rest, and for this rea.
son they are natures most important
chestnut, hickory and walnut tree
planters, Harper's Weekly remarks.
The nuts are hidden in the ground,
often at considerable distance from
one another, and either by instinct or
remarkable memory the squirrels
will penetrate through several feet of
snow when in want of food and sci.
dom, If ever. fail to find the hidden
treasures.
They do not need or use the one
tenth part of the provender they have
hidden away in the ground. and what
they do not consume terminates the
next spring and in this way we get
our uniform nut tree forests, which
would otherwise grow in cluster under
the parent tree where the nuts have
fallen.
In their burying operations squirrels
often cover a large area of ground,
seeking the most favorable spot for
hiding their food; this accounts for
trees springing up in the most diverse
places.

CHORUS GIRLS
CELEBRATE SOME

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Jan. 11.-Uni-
versity of Illinois and Twin City soci-
ty decreed here that chorus girls, even
from your home town and of unim-
peachable character, are de trop at
dances.
To enforce this barrier four students
and their guests, chorus girls of the
Mother Goose" musical company, were
ordered to leave a Champaign hall,
where the Saintz club danced.
Eager to make up for the slight to
the young women, the students imme-
diately rented another hall, engaged an
orchestra, invited friends, obtained
chaperons from the faculty and gave a
dance where the chorus girls were
made to forget that they had been sub
jected to an indignity.
All the university is talking of the
story that began when B. L. Kirk in
troduced L. ]. Conboy, A. L. Jones and
D. c. Chester, member of the varsity
football squad, to Marie Davis, Marcia
Moore, June Gill and Irene Huyck,

Chesters home town.
The party readily was admitted to
the Saintz function, where all was we'll
until it was whispered among the
young women that the strangers were

Either they leave or we do" was
the ultimatum of the Champaign girls.
Arguments that the chorus girls were
