THE QUEER cADDIcE WORM.
It's Miniature Log Cabin at the Bot-
tom of the Brook.

Perchance during some summers stroll
your steps may lead you by sparkling,
woodland brook. Here pause moment
and, placing your face close to the sur
face of dark and quiet pool, look closely
at the bottom. Among the sand and peb-
bles you will see a number of small bum
dies Of sticks and little cylinders of tiny
stones moving about as though endowed
with life.
If you take them out, however, they
are apparently dead and entirely devoid
of motive power. but break them open
and you will find each one to be little
tube lined with soft and shining silk
and containing a whitish. caterpillarlike
larya. This, then, is the solution Of the
puzzle-when the grub wishes to move
about he projects the forward part Of his
body from the tube and crawls around,
dragging his honse behind him. But the
moment he is disturbed or frightened he
draws back into his safe retreat o Wherein
he remains hidden as long as danger
threatens.
You will find the little tubes of various
kinds, shapes and sizes. Some are cylin-
drical, made of sticks placed lengthwise,
while others are like little log houses OF
straw, the pieces being fastened crosf-
wise. These miniature log cabins are 1T

tened to the walls, and. moreove', the
shells are not always empty. Quit often
you may find living snails sec rely at
tached. and thus compelled TO r oye about
at the will of their landlord.
Other tubes are built entirely Of bits OF
moss and leaves. The commonest forms
are those composed Of little pebbles or
grains of sand. These are usually very
regular and smooth cylinders. in which
the grains are all Of nearly equal size,
but among them you may frequently find
some with several larger stones fastened
to either side in a very curious manner.
By far the prettiest houses OF all are
shaped like little spiral shells and are
composed entirely of almost microscopicai
stones.-Popuiar Science.

SILT WALKERS.
Shepherds who Resort to This Mode
of Locomotion.

Some 20 years ago you might have seen
at Bordeaux on market days strange
crowds OF villagers arriving on stills from
distant hamlets heavy laden with sacks
and baskets, but now the sight would
cause almost as much sensation there as
it might in one Of our own towns. The
only silt walkers that have ever seen in
Bordeaux were great manikins prancing
about among the crowd on gigantic stills
at the autumn fair, to the joy or small
children, but these were merely profess
sional acrobats.
Near Lake Cazaux, however, where
much of the land is yet unreclaimed and
marshy, the peasants cling to this mode
Of locomotion, and we may still see the
shepherd guarding his flock on stills.
In the neighborhood of Arcachon there
are stills to be found in the cottages, and
small boys, with the prospect Of few
sous to be gained, will buckle them on
and perform various tricks for your; ,edi-
fcation. There Is some difficulty about
putting on the stills, and they will not be
hurried over it. The shepherd starting
from home will often mount on the win
dow sill for the purpose. In the fields, he
sits on the ground to tie them on and
then rises with the help of long stick.
The landes of Gascony, once endless
plains covered with brushwood and IN
dergrowth, were blessed with soil so
impenetrable that 1t never absorbed the
rain, and even after a slight shower the
hollows would be transformed into
marshes. There were no roads or sheep
paths Of any kind, and the cottages of
the shepherds and small farmers were
dotted about so far from each other In
the swamps that the "iong legs" were an
absolute necessity.
Now the landes, for centuries regard
ed as a hopeless waste, Improbable and
unhealthy, have been for the most part
reclaimed and drained. Forests of pines
have been planted, and, instead Of being
unhealthy, some parts of the district.
such as Arcachon, have even become
health resorts. Thus the strange old
stills are fast vanishing, for they have
lost their raison d'etre. The stills are
usually about six or seven feet In height,
and about five feet from the ground there
Is a rest to support the foot, provided
with a stirrap and q strong strap. High
er up q band of leather holds the top Of
the silt firmly to the leg below the knee.
Some stills are much higher than these,
especially for fancy walking and tricks,
and the man mounted on them 10 gifted
with veritable seven leagued boots, for
he can cover the ground at truly prodi-
gious pace-often as much as eight or ten
miles an hour. The lower end Of the silt,
which touches the ground. Ii usually cap
