The training of snails is ] accomplished by placing, progres- sively, lady-bugs an inch ahead of the snail’s head to urge it to its highest speed. At the last one-mile contest on the Campagna, the world’s championship was won by a thoroughbred snail named Festina Lente, in one year, three months flat. T has long been known that pirate of gorium (ordinary liver), when burned in a mixture of hypofenyltribrom propionic acid gas and the vapor of fried cauliflower, emits Q-rays which have the property of shining around a comer.

N the first years of the war when beef was impossible to get, imi- tation steaks were made of rubber, soaked in gravy, and served at the cheaper restaurants in Germany. Even when rubber was too scarce and valuable, even though one “steak"? would last for a dozen meals, and after the composition rollers from printing presses had been tried, restaurants were obliged to fall back again upon real cow, which by this time was so tough that the meat was practically indestructible.
