were found by members of the dredger's
crew, whose curiosity was aroused by the
appearance of the worms. A number We're
collected and given to the officers of The
company.
TO a reporter Capt. w. E. Roberts of the
dredger stated yesterday that the species
was found in schools. He believes that they
live on rocks, and every time they have
been pumped up so far they have been ac
companied by pieces of stone and coal,
which had been dumped into the bay from
ships discharging their ballast.
I'VE find none for several days." he said,
"and then they come in a bunch. They
appear to be able to travel on any side and
wriggle along like a common earthworm.
AS far as l can learn it is not exactly
known whether they live upon the surface
of the seabottom or beneath it. We always
find them submerged and believe they will
die II kept out Of their natural element very
long. They live on smaller worms and ma
rine vegetation. 1 should judge that they
do not have much vitality, although they
cut some queer antics when out of the
water"
Foreman Jones, who oversees the work
at the mouth Of the discharge pipe, says
the worms are called sea cucumbers and
that they are very common. He declares
that he has often found some as long as
twenty inches close to the beach when the
tide was out and that their mode of travel
Is exactly like that of snake. At one
end. he says. they have large suckers. Try
means of which they capture smaller forms
of life. 1t is believed by others that MIR.
Jones has COMPOUNDED the species with
some other.

attainable date, in many cases including
the final month of the year 1900 The fig
ures in most cases are for that portion of
the fiscal year which had expired at the
latest date for which the figures can be
obtained and compare the imports and ex-

the corresponding months of the preceding

The figures are especially interesting in
the opportunity which they offer to COM
pare the present condition of the commerce
of the various countries with that of one

our own commerce with that OF other coun-

STRANGE SEA LIFE.
Enormous WOrm-Like Creatures That
Explode After Their Capture.


From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
What is believed. to be a hitherto I'M
known species Of the sspoonworm has been
pumped up from the depths of Elliott bay
by the dredger in operation near the Cen
tenniaI mill. Specimens which have been
submitted to Prof, Trevor Kincaid of the
university are pronounced by him to be
different from any species previously found
in Puget Sound. but somewhat similar to an
Alaskan form of sea life.
The animal found in the bay is of monde
script appearance. 1t resembles an oblong
transparent rubber bag filled with water
and varies from three to five inches in
length. 1t is about as thick, generally. as
a mans thumb. At each end are several
circles of sharp bristles, colored like brass
and seemingly hard. These are believed
to be it's defensive weapons The bristles
at one end are stronger and more numer-
Gus than at the other. Other species have
the bristles only at one end.
These peculiar animals were first
brought to the surface about two weeks
ago by the dredger Of the Seattle and Lake
Washington Waterway Company. They
were sucked up by the pumps from depth
of from thirty to thirty-five feet and car
ried through the discharge pipes to the
point where the filling is made. There they
