The slowness of the snail is proverbial. That one should move so slowly from one end of a banana to the other that the ( fruit in its growth would finally imprison it has been something unheard of. A fruit dealer in the not long ago, however, received a consignment of bananas from the Westlndies. Near the upper end , of one was the shell of a snail securely fastened to the fruit. A ? closer examination showed that , the frui* had grown up around the , snai! until it was a secure, prisoner, unable to move. The bana( na did not go to a customer, but was plucked from the bunch and saved as a curiosity. Americans are the most inven[ tive people on earth.
