Mr.. vuillet Tells How to Guard
Agninst Frauds in Paris.


From the European Edition Of the New York Herald
When you order Burgundy snails and
are served with a plate of toothsome
terrestrial pulmonates do you know how
to tell whether they are the genuine ar
ticle or the vulgar limitations technically
known as 'pettits-gris?" 1t is the cas-
lest thing in the world. All you need
to do Is to take one of the gastropods
in your fingers and examine its jaw
bone. much as you would study q horses
teeth to determine its age. II the jaw
is large the snail is. or was. white; II
the interior of the mouth looks like q
dental factory. the pulmonat belonged to
the gray family.
But this Is not the only test. In the
white snails the horns are more devel-
oped than In the gray: In some OF the
latter the horns are hardly perceptiole
in fact. Also. the back Of the white
snail, when cooked, sometimes assumes
greenish tints Always the colorings Is
even. The gray snairs back remains
a grayish white. but is more or less
spotted or streaked.
This is said on the authority of MI
Vuillet. expert OF the French Department
Of Agriculture, whD, at the suggestion OF
Mr. Roux, director of scientific work IN
that department, has just been making

The formation, in Paris recently. OF
two rival associations of snail merchants
revealed to the public a fraud which 1t
appears is not uncommonly practiced.
Clothes may make the man. but shells
do not make the snail. and ''pettits-sris'
are sometimes placed on the market IN
shells which originally were worn by
snails from Burgundy. Thanks to MI.
yuillet. the connoisseur Is now able to
tell whether his burgundy is really
a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Mr.. vuillet adds that the two species
appear to be equally indigestible to deli

or as good-according to whether you
