Belongs to Land, Water Variety A snail is a mollask and properly belongs only to molhisks living on land or in fresh water, which, says a writer in the Montreal Herald, are classified as riilmonates because they have hnu I (Latin, jiulmo) and breathe air ii:s.ca. of extractins oxygen from water by nteans of pills as do flu' sca-nr i'.uM;s. These imlinonates are of three k n.N: 1. thuse living on land ; 2. i In l:iri in fresh water; 3. slu.s.

As a snail, earryiuu' Its shell rp riirht on it haoi;. crawls slowly aloa all we see of i; is the squarish held at the forward end of a soft hut mus cular, tapering body called the "foot." the .under surface of which is a tou.:h. elastic sole by slight movement of which the animal hitches itself forward. Longest, Shortest Days Governed by Leap Year Vnder the present calendar the loi, est day may he eilher .lune.-l or June -2, says an authority In the Indianap plis News. In the year preceding a leap year the longest day is .Tune wlille In other years, it is .lane I'l. The shortest day in the year may he either December 21. or December 22 It is December 22 in all years except leap years., when 'it Is December 21. The longest- .and shortest days in the year are determined by the summer and winter solstices, the exact time of which is determined by mathematical calculation. The solstices are when the, sun is at its greatest declination, either north or south, l'or instance, the summer solstice is the time at which' the sun reaches Its farthest point in Its swing northward from the equator, and accordingly marks the longest day. The year consists of .ap proximately otlo'i days, nuil the sol stices fluctuate because of the frac tional day each year, which is adjusted by leap years. The longest and short est days differ In length from the days immediately preceding and following them only by a fraction of a minute. Gratuity, Pension The term gratuity, as used generally In the United States, carries no other sense than that of gift, donation, or tip. In England, however, in addition to this sense, the word is also used to mean a pension to a person retired from the military or naval service. The term pension, wherever It Is em ployed, means a periodical allowance to an individual, or to those who rep resent him (his widow, or family, for Instance), on account of past services or some meritorious work done by him. It Is by no means unusual for u busi ness firm to place an employee on i pension. Generally such an employee is thus retired because of long service or because he has reached an arbitrary age-limit, though sometimes he nmy be retired because of an injury or illness received in the performance of his work. Literary Digest. Arrival of Pennsylvania Dutch The Pennsylvania-' Dutch came to America as early :is KKI from the Hhine Valley and from Switzerland, They came In large numbers for rea sons of religious freedom and with a sure Instinct they picked Pennsylva nia's rich lands. They erected large Swiss barns and marked these bnrns with the slx-Iobed symbol of the con ventionalized tulip, which has a "mag ical" significance. Many of the Penn sylvania Dutch always have believed in witches. These barn symbols. 'are' to help keep evil spirits away. Witch doctors still practice here and there. The Flash of Lightning A flash of lightning lasts from an Infinitely small part of a second for a single flash, to even a fidl second or more for a flash made up of several branches. The total length, too, of a streak Of lightning varies greatly. Vhen the discharge is from the cloud to the earth, the length of the path 'is seldom more than' a 'mile and a half, but when the discharge Is from one cloud to another, the path is . more curved -.and bent and its total length at times probably six, nine, or even twelve miles. Dog Is Honored in Europe The dog in Kit rope is still the, friend of man. In France and P.elgium he may he seen drawing the little milk wagons, and in Switzerland the monks of the Grand St. Uernard still lavish glory on his power to rescue the lost. Europeans have not forgotten: that early men once worshiped the dog Anubis, or that the Ethiopians once elected a dog as king. Every dog has his day, but in Europe, it is a long and happy day. Thirty Watches in Clock Among the world's wonder clocks, is one Constructed by a convict who re cently finished a term In a Continental penitentiary, says the Montreal Her ald. Every piece of his strange time piece, down to the tiniest wheel, Is made of wood. The clock contains .30 different watches, each showing the correct time in one of the principal ) moa f tha n-nrlrf Another feature I tuiva -v. .

HOLLYWOOD.- In case you no tice something different about Olivia de Havilland in "The Great Oarrick", the actress is three and one-half inches taller. Mervyn Le Roy decided she looked too tiny beside Brian Aherne's six-feet-two, and ordered special shoes made to give Olivia the added inches. Pe riod costumes hide the device, but the star's ankles are so tired at the end of a day that she is ready to fall into hed as soon as she gets home. Odd tiling happened on the same mture. Lana Turner vent bowl .ng the other night with Leon Jan ncy and lie asked her to hold a dia mond ring. She put it on her lin ger and they both forgot about it. A couple of evenings later, she re turned the ring, but Janney was roused out of bed the following morning by the Warner Brothers studio. Lana had worn the ring in ejose ips and had to have it back for matching shots. Now Janney is wondering if lie ought not to send a bill to the studio. Virginia V'crrill, the feminine tead in the "Ooldwyn Follies" is a mass of bruises from having' a 210 pound wrestler (Sammy Stein) land in her lap at the matches the other night. The actress had to lie carried out of the stadium by her escort and has been going through X-rays and visiting doctors ever since. Almost her entire body is black and blue.
