singing clans and their little voices

ing them the Little Angels OF the
Bay
1T used to be the custom, when the
tide was low at night, for the lads
an lassies to stroll or sit along the
back listening to the clans. Their
faint sweet voices heard in the moon
light have prompted many good man
to pop the fatal question.
Now all this is changed A crude
business person discovered that each
voice came from a clam that was per
fectly good to eat. He started out to
catch them, and before long their
fame as steamed clans became
known among the colonists, and the
end was in sight.
The colonists now bring clam
forks as part OF their baggage when
they move to Duxbury each summer,
and with one of these any man or
woman who does not mind little
mud, can pick up enough clans for
a family meal In very short time.
YES, the women also catch the
clans. One would think that they
would have too much heart to still
these small voices in frying pan, but
they haven't.
Various reasons have been ad-
vanced for the singing of the clans,
but have never heard one that
seemed satisfactory. 1t has occa.
stoned many peculiar incidents.
When the French cable from Brest,
which arrives at Duxbury, was first
connected up, the operators used to
complain of the singing noises they
heard each day when the tide was low.
After finding that 1t was the voice of
the clans, they fixed the cable and
had no more trouble.
Il expect that this is the last sum
mer that 1t will be possible to listen
to the clans, and | intend spending
a part of every fine day enjoying their
voices.
AT the rate that the colonists are
eating them they will be all gone in
year or two, and, If possible, in.
tend to be the last citizen of Duxbury
to hear the swan song of the last
of the famous singing clans. New

CONVEY MUCH IN FEW WORDS
Japanese Proverbs Puneent and Their
Repartee Apt to Be Keen
and Singing.

1t has been said that the Japanese
are as apt and unique in their proverbs
as they are in their works Of art.
What, for example, could be more ap-
propriate to men in certain desperate
circumstances than this: Man may
shout when he can no longer swim"
While the tongue works the brain
sleeps" is another saying of the Jap
anese, which expresses their contempt
for loquacious persons.
The Japanese are quick at repartee;
their wit is keen and tempered. and
they can often administer a perfect
snub In brief, terse form. In illustra-
tion of this there may be cited the fol-
lowing instance:
There was being tried in a court
case involving the possession and own
ership of piece Of property. The lit
igants were brothers. The holder, who
was clearly not the rightful owner, had
assaulted and elected his brother and
was protesting his right to defend his
claim.
The examining magistrate listened
very patiently to him until he closed
with the words. Even a cur may bark
at his own gate" Then the Judge
quantity voiced the judgment, as II
stating an abstract point of law, "a
dog that has no gate bites at his own
risk"

Visitors to Famous Massachusetts Wa.

Unmoved by Their Plain
tive Murmurinps.

From Duxbury. Mass, comes the
news that the singing CLAMPS, for
which that resort has long been ia.
nous, are now facing determination,
and soon will be relegated to the past
along with the dodo, side hill gouger
and plesiosaurus.
Phineas Railnettor, choirmaster Of
the little church on the hill in Dux-
bury, who has lived in that village
for many years, was in New York the
other day buying dance records for
the photograph used for the Saturday
night parish dances.
THE singing clans have been one
of Duxbury's greatest attractions
since the landing of the Pilgrims" he
said, and the rapacity and inordi'
nate appetites of the newcomers of
the summer colony are responsible
for the fact that they are rapidly be-
ing wiped out.
by newcomers | mean those Of
the summer colony who have been
coming to Duxbury for only the last
so years. The others, the genealogi.
cal aristocrats of the colony, have
been coming to Duxbury since before
the discovery of the sacred cod
and that of course, was long before
the Revolution.
Il had heard of the singing clans
long before went to Duxbury, about
forty years ago, and when became
domiciled there, one of the first things
] did was to investigate them.
81 found that their singing, instead
OF being myth grown from the folk
lore of the fishermen, was an absolute
fact.
The clans are different from any of
their kind in the world and that is one
reason why the government ought to
preserve them, even If the residents
of Duxbury have so little pride in
the greatest attraction of their town.
Unlike all other shelltish, these
clans have an aversion to water. This.
combined with their singing, seems to
me to prove conclusively that they
are descended from birds.
They live along the shores Of the
bay. where there are long stretches
OF mud and sand fats. My investi-
cations proved to me that when the
side was in and water covered these
flats, the clans, disliking the water.
burrowed down into the soft bottom
for a few inches and waited there
until the water Teceded.
Their keen sense of sound told
them when 1t was gone, and they
then come to the surface, zigzagging
their way through the soft ooze.
Then they lie outside their holes,
! and after a few moments open their
shells. Immediately the singing COM
mences.
In weird, minor key, like the notes
of an aeolian harp far OF In the for

years ago there were almost millions

ing wave covering more clans, this
chorus died out, until by the time the
waves were tapping the marsh-grass,
it was absolutely stilled This proved
to me that Just as soon as a clam felt
the waves he again sank into his
shell to sleep until the next low tide.

NEW YORK, Feb. 29-Ogling males
are going to have to stick around the
street corners ard wait for the wind
to blow next season if they want to
see - er - anything. This was
the message brought back here today
by Charles e Kurzman, Fifth avenue,
purveyor of women's finery.
The new style skirts, said Monsieur
Kurzman, are to be very, very wide
and very, very full. They will harken
back to the Louis PHILIPPE days of 1880
to 1S48. However, one ray of hope
was held out by the announcement that
the dresses were to be very oh -
extremely so - above the waist line.
Nothing but the most sombre of colors
are favored for street costume. Black,
navy blue and dark brown are finding
favor, he said.

NEW RUSS CAVALRY
IS WITHOUT FEAR

IN POLAND, Feb. 23-The new Rus
sian Cavalry, the Turkomans spend
the greater part of their life On horse
back. While children of other nations
begin to creep, the Turkoman children
are put on a horse.
These men fear neither hardships
nor danger. They are past masters in
the art of cavalry and their display Of
skill on horseback is even greater than
that of the famous Cossacks. Their
cavalry is mostly composed of youths,
for whom war is the great and only
poem, their unique dream and faith
The desert, the oasis, and the steppes
of the Trans-Caspian provinces, to-
gether with Caucasia, can produce
100000 of these bold riders.
These Turkomans, just like shad-
ows, can creep up to the lines of the
German rear guard and destroy the
supply columns of the enemy, thus
hampering very much the advance of
the German army. With the utmost
courage they charge and beat the Ger
man infantry, Notwithstanding the
numbers. Their charges are so sudden
that it is impossible to foresee them,
still less to avoid them.
For instance, the German square for
nation showing on all sides a thick
forest of bayonets would cause the
Cossacks themselves to hesitate to de-
liver an attack, but the Turkomans are
not afraid of this. They jump over the
