Sand That Sings In the Wind.

About twenty miles south of Still
water, in Churchill county, on the
Sand Springs Flat, at the foot Of the
mountain there is heap of sand about
100 feet high and nearly mile across,
which sings in the wind and is con-
stantly changing. II is thrown by the
wind, which there has circular motion,
into vast round wall, with hollow
in the center half mile across, which
goes two-thirds Of the way to the bot
tom. 1t is steep, and hard to climb TO
the top, and on the inside is even more
steep. SO steep that no one has ever
dared to go down for fear that the loose
sand would slide down and bury him
up. There are similar dunes on the
Sandwich Islands, on the Hebridea
and on the Atlantic coast.-.Sdn Fran
