NATURE DENIED SNAIL BRAIN
only Thinking Apparatus Creature
Can Boast Of Consists Of 4
Few Nsrvs cslls,

Just 10000 mail shells will buy a
wife in Africa If 4 man is in hurry
and not too particular, but to get a
really good one requires about 10000
shells, according to Harold L. Madison,
curator Of the Cleveland Museum Of
Natural History. The African uses the
eggs Of the snail for food, but saves
the shells with which to buy his wife.
Money cowrles, name given to GER
tain kinds Of shells, were used as u
medium OF exchange In India and 9th
er Far East countries as early as
100 A. D.
White coral and other shell animals,
after being subjected to enormous
pressure and tense heat, when buried
in the EARTH ultimately are turned into
marble which is used to build the finest
palaces Of man.
Snails appear to walk on their stom-
achs. but they have soft foot by
which they move. In some types It
Is shaped like hatchet. One group
of shell animal walks on its head.
The 'chambered nautilus Is the most
beautiful Of this type. Its eyes are
under its arms, and its mouth Is on
top OF its head.
A snail has a heart, all right, and
eyes, but he will never die from con-
cusson Of the brain, for his only think
ing apparatus is few nerve cells.
He lives to be about eight years old,
but he has the ability to live four
years without eating anything. This
has been proved several times. In 1916
afprofessor in Il British museum was
examining SOME snails which had been
stuck on cardboard for four years. He
noticed that 0ne looked to be alive. and
after he placed it in warm water the
animal was soon feeding on cabbage
leaves and in short time became &C
tive as normal snail.
