generally ascrihed 10 Q movement of sand

no evidence offered that the sand does move

explanation doubtless rests upon the fact
that such phenomenon as singing or bark

Of The world. 1t is not likely that wet sand
would produce the gcunds mentioned. It is
more probably that fishes make tEsae noises,
