Worm-Eaters
Sirs:
In your issue of May 13, p. 30, Professor Thorndike considers the probability of someone's eating an earthworm in consideration of $100 cash in hand. It might interest him to hear that a man once did eat an earthworm, fresh, fat and raw, for 25ยข cash, then & there paid by his farmer employer. I did not see it, but I knew both parties and my informant was the employer's son. This throws into my mind some doubt of the value of Professor Thorndike's statistics.
