Many of the inconspicuous members of the lower orders have been brought to our respectful admiration b y the naturalists. Now it is the slimy snail that commands our admira­ tion. A German scientist points out that the snail can draw immense Weights, and now a Frenchman claims that there are few, if any, an­ imals which have a keener apprecia­ tion of music than snails. This nat­ uralist is M. M. S. Jourdain, and he expresses his views on the subject in a paper which he has read to the French Biological society. Place some Bnails on a pane of glass, he says, and you will nnd th a t they will make sounds similar to those which a person can produce by wetting his fingers and rubbing them around a tumbler. Complete aira, he thinks, can be produced in this way. This may be the next vaudeville novelty. Does the 8en»tor Remember?
