cave, divided into four compartments.
The cave was excavated parallel 10

daylight admitted by holes blown out
of the wall with explosives, the win
dows being guarded by a network OF
heavy steel bars.
The entrance to the depression was
also closed in the same manner, ana
a vestibule or porch of masonry built
out from it to provide quarters 1of
the Sheriff and his assistants. This
vestibule is also divided into COM
partments, which are connected by
gates of steel bars.
The only way of entering the prison
is through the vestibule OF masonry
and in order to escape the inmates
would have to cut their way through
tire sets of bars which are an inch
in thickness, as the windows are so
high up above the rock forming the
floor of the cells that they could not
reach them.
1t is necessary, however, to have
very secure place, as the criminals IN
this part of the country are of most
desperate class, and the inmates fire.

There, too, we have exhibited the

butt of a razor's blade it slowly moved
along the back of the blade and ther
climbed completely over the SHARP
edge. the razor being in excellent
condition. AS the successive waves
brought the fore part Of its foot neal
the edge of the blade its head was
held low down, and the lower ano
shorter pair of feelers nearly touched
the blade, as If feeling the way.
AT the moment when the sharp
edge was reached the small feelers
were fully extended toward it, and
just at the very instant when ex-
pected to see them cut off they were
both instantly retracted. They were
little more than hairbreadth away,
and though the lower feelers pos
sess no eyes, yet by their sudden

the snail at that instant recognized
danger.
"Still the foot travelled on, and
slowly the snail dragged its whole
weight of exactly one and a half
ounces over the edge, later lowing 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."
