samoa's Strange Worms.

A puzzle for naturalists, Of many
years standing, has just been solved
by German and English investigators.
Periodically, IN the autumn, the sea
around the saInSan islands suddenly
swarms with neadless marine worms,
known to natives as the palolo The
creatures are very slender, and average
about 16 inches in length. 1t is now
known that the palolo bores into the
reef rock OF the islands, and that in
its complete state 1t consists of a
thicker anterior part, about four
inches long, carrying the head, and a
more slender end segmented posterior
part. which at particular seasons sep
arates off ard swims about; and in
this headless form the worms are so
numerous that the water seems abso-
iutely "alive" with them.

NO WATER TILL FALL
Dam at Miner Will Not be COM
pleted this Sprin9-W ater to
be on Land this Fail

/ Walter G. Filler, ma mayer Of The
Twin Falls irrigation project, was
in the city yesterday says the Boise
| Sta esman. He stated the com
paDy would not attempt to con-
strnct the remaining dam this
spring. While it was probable it
could be completed, as it could be
! put in in six weeks, high water
might carry it out. Moreover if
the dam we're completed, the time
los t in getting the canals settled SO
they would carry water without
breaks might be sufficient to pre-
vent the delivery OF water for irri-
CATION this year. Under these cir
Icumstanccs they would defer the
construction Of the last dam, Mr..
Filler said, until the river falls late
in the summer. They would have
it finished by October and would
then turn the water into the canals
gradually. Time would be afforded
to make every point secure and get
the canals in readiness to carry the
water next season without Interrupt
ton The water would be turned
in and out several times with the
result that everything would be in
perfect condition.
Settlers, said Mr. Filler, had gone
on the land with the understanding
that water might not be furnished |
this year Some months ago they |
were advised definitely that water
would not be ready for irrigation
this year. All understood il and
no disappointment would follow.
Mr. Filler said nearly all the
10000 acres Of land opened to
settlement had been taken up.
Many Of the settlers had begun
their improvements, there being
quite a number of houses. One
had sown a crop of wheat which
would at least make feed. The
prospect was that all the lands Of
the company would be taken up
after systematic adver-
Using Of the project had begun.
That section is particularly adap-
ted 10 the production ofapples, and
Mr.. Filler said he knew of 1000 acres
of orchard that would be set out
immediately
Speaking of the future OF the
tract, Mr. Filler said he believed it
NO uld have larger population
han most any other section OF
Idaho. He was disposed to think
t would number more people with
n its boundaries than would be /,
ound in the Boise and Payette val
eys. The railway would be con-
tructcd through the tract and this
would contribute enormously to the
development and settlement of the :
ands. Mr.. Filler added that, in :
us opinion, there would be 10000 :.
eople on the Twin Falls and Min
loka tracts in 10 years. =
