THE DANCE OF THE sEAeuLLs.
Why Does Their Rhythmic Tread
Bring Worms to Surface?

Why Does Their Rhythmic Tread
Bring Worms to Surface?
'It is no uncommon sight to see
gulls, or other birds, dancing or pad
ding upon the sand.' says writer.
"Curlews and most other shore-feed-
ing birds do the same thing, the OBJ
ject being to brighten the worms from
their retreat below, when they ap
pear to be instantly swallowed up.
But the really interesting part of the
performance is-why should the
worms be SO frightened by the shak-
ing produced in the sand as to come
to the surface?
1.-THE inference. of course, is that
they have greater dread Of some en-
envy beneath, whose approach they be-
lieve to be heralded by the vibration
which his movements through it i'm
part to the sand.
when the angler wants to collect
earth worms, in a place where it is
not convenient to dig, he is accus-
toned to push stick into the ground,
and by moving that about impart a
vibration to the soil around, which has
the effect of forcing those worms
within its influence to crawl to the
surface. This is precisely the prac-
tice followed by the dancing gull and
with the same result.
But on land we are led to suppose
that it may be an attack from mole
which the worm fears; while on the
wet sands there are. Of course, no
moles to be dreaded.
care the worms thinking back,
through remote ancestry, to time
when they were jewellers upon dry
land and were acquainted with the
mole, or his forbears, or what is the
true solution of the matter?"-Chica-

the limited space usually allot-
ted to grand jury's report. A
number of sections of road have
been reported to us as being in
bad condition and we we're asked
to make presentment OF them and
to require that they be worked.
Before doing so we called in the
supervisor and found that in
every case he had complied with
his duties. Overseers had been
appointed and instructions Is
sued to them both personal and
through the county papers and
the overseers themselves in most
instances are to blame tor failure
to work the roads. If-the people
themselves can not be aroused TO
a sense Of the Importance of
this matter, then it is useless to
provide more law on The subject.
We are glad TO note, however,
that in some localities the peo-

the subject and are having their

Grand Jury's Report
October Term l9O6---Many
Matters of Public Interest
Considered.
To His Honor George +. Prince,

Presiding Judge:
The Grand Jury of Lancaster
County, in this it's final report
for the year, desires frat of all
to thank your honor for the kind
ness and courtesy you have ex.
tended to us, and for the very
able assistance that you have
rendered to us while in the dis.
charge of our duty ,and we assure
you that we appreciate the
prompt, efficient and business
like manner in which you have
presided over the court.
We have carefully considered
all bills Of indct ment handed
to us by the solicitor and have
passed on them to the best OF
our ability according to the evi-
dence.
Through a committee of our
body we have made a careful ex-
animation of the public buildings
of the county. This committee
reported to us that the court
house was in need of repairs and
We recommended that it be
repaired and repainted.
We are glad to note that this
recommendation has been car.
ried out and the county super.
visor is to be commended for
the manner in which the work
has been done. The court house
is now credit to both town and
county. The Jail while. old and
unsight!y appears to be strong
and safe. Still we would recon-
mend: that if the finances Of the
county are in a condition to war
rant it, that the Jail be put in
like condition As the court house.
The county home for the poor
has been visited and inspected
by q committee. The inmates
report themselves as comfort
able as circumstances Will per
nit. The graveyard is however IA
reprotch TO the county and we
asE that It be cleared of the
weeds, briars and bushes that
have overrun it, and thai it b.
enclosed with a good substantial
fence of plank or pickets or
wire.
We have examined the BOOKS
OF the Clerk of Court. County
Trea' 'urer, County Supervisor
and Sheriff, together with those
OF the Go. Supt. of Education
and Judge OF Probate and while
we did not employ an expert ac
countant nor did We 20 into an

satisfied that the books are be-
ing kept with neatness, care and
honesty. The Offices are neat
and clean in appearance, and we
were treated with the creates t
courtesy by the officials themsel

inspect every detail of the work

with great care and we find them

ReIchstag Refuses to Pay Bills
for Keeping Troops in
Field.

Berlin, Dec. 12.-Emperor William
las authorized Chancellor Won Buelow
to dissolve the reichstag and order new
elections if the supplementary appro-
priations asked for by the government
are not granted by the house.
The question of appropriating
enough money to keep the present
army in German Southwest Africa in
the field, is, according TO the convic-
ton of the government, equivalent to
the question whether the colony shall
be given up or retained.
Natives May Triumph.
The appeal to the country, if neces-
sary, will be made on that issue, the
governments position being, that if
the present garrison in German South
west Africa is reduced from 10000 to
5000 men, as the center party and the
extreme left contend should be done,
the insurgent natives will obtain pos
session of the colony.

Reason for Peace Prize Going

Paris, Dec. 12.-The Gil Bias, com
menting on the award of the Nobel
peace prize to President Roosevelt,
says that though it does not grudge
the president the prize it cannot see
why it was awarded to him.
His greatest glory" says the Gil
Bias. 'is having been a colonel and
having partaken in the glorious war
against Spain in Cuba. True, it was
vaudeville war, but it was war.
''The United States never has been
so bellicose as it has been since Roose-
welt became president. Undoubtedly
Roosevelt has spoken pacific words,
but his acts have not been pacific. AS
a megalomaniac Roosevelt represents
one of the gravest risks in the world.

FEDERAL PRISONERS
REMOVED FROM JOLIET
Forty Dangerous Criminals Taken to
Federal Prison at Fort Leav-
enworth.

Joliet, Ill, Dec 12.-Forty-tw con
victs serving sentences of from one to
ten years, were taken from their cells
in the state penitentiary here last
night to be transferred TO the United
States prison at Fort LeavenwOrth.
They are federal prisoners sent here
from Chicago and other Illinois points
by the federal courts. Their transfer
is in line with the policy of the gov
ernment to transfer all its prisoners
now in the state penitentiaries TO the
federal prisons at Fort Leavenworth
and Atlanta.
The removal of the convicts was ar
ranged with the utmost secrecy and
few knew of the proposed transfer.
Among those taken from here were
members of the most noted gang of
counterfeiters in the United States,
including Richard Burns, who is serv-
ing ten year sentence. On account
of the dangerous character of some of
the men, and the possibility of at
tempts to rescue them somewhere
along the line, the greatest caution was
observed
