Barbee's terrapin farm have grown
apace. Almost every year Mr.. Bar
bee goes to New York and matches a
few terrapin in public just to give the
newspapermen something to write
about. And everyone who comes to
Savannah goes out to see Barbee's
terrapin farm, and eat terrapin stew.
Mr.. Barbee shows and explains abb
solutely verything-eXcept the sec
ret.
''It is something mixed with the
sand" is all he will tell you about
that.
Many distinguished persons have
come to wonder at this unique method
of artificial incubation. William Jen-
nings Bryan journeyed to the farm,
and Mr.. Barbee placed an egg in his
hand just as the youthful terrapin
strolled forth, to the delight and
amaZement of the statesman. The in
FAINT terrapin is most precocious and
appealing mite. Mr. Barbee sells them
for fifty cents apiece as pets. Society
women have been known to keep
them in mahogany boxes with brass
trimmings. They display a good deal
of intelligence. and become very tame.
One young lady terrapin by the name
of Toby has spent her entire life of
two years in Mr.. Barbee's pocket. She
has been handled by thousands of per-

second, a precocious young terrapin
will bite his way out of each one of
them. There is no Euesswork and no
mistakes. Mr.. Barbee seems to have
rather improved upon natures meth
DDS.
When he announced to the world
that he had perfected a process for
Matching terrapin eggs without the aid
of either sun or artificial heat, the
scientists ridiculed the idea. An emil
nent specialist of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries pronounced Mr..
Barbee a fraud. He said the thing
simply couldn't be done. Thereupon
Mr.. Barbee packed a number of boxes
with sand and terrapins and eggs,
and not in wrath, but in a very de-
termined mood, he took a train for
Washington. There he went to a
prominent hotel, set up his sand boxes
in the lobby, and sent for the doubt
ing fishery expert, the newspapermen,
and all and sundry to come and see
terrapin brought into the world with
out the aid of Artificial heat or sun
light. The scientists and reporters
arrived in time, but no more pune
tually than the infant reptiles. These
triumphantly emerged from their
shells at the psychological moment, 10

scribes and sages.

sons and is known to everyone in Sa-
vannah. Her chief accomplishment is
wiping her eyes with one forefoot
when told to do so.
The sale of these young terrapins at
fifty cents each just about pays the
expenses of operating the plant, leav-
ing the returns form the sale of the
greater part of the stock at three
dollars each as clear profit H''
The demand for diamond-back ter
rapin is not large one; but it is much
larger than the supply. Mr.. Barbee
asserts that the younger generation
does not appreciate terrapin and sell
dom eats it except for the sake Of
splurging. The heyday of the terra
pins fame was before the war, when
these toothsome reptiles were abun-
dant all over the South. To-day they
are chiefly appreciated by persons who
learned to eat them long ago. Very
conservative clubs, where elderly
colonels and majors foregather, and
very expensive hotels, which must
have the most expensive foods on their
menus, are Mr.. Barbee's best custom
ers, and they take all that he can
produce. He does something of
business in canned terrapin, and n
mysterious Chinaman in Philadelphia
buys all the old males that are too
tough to be eaten. What he does with
them, nobody knows.

Harrisburg Independents to
Close Successful Season

The Harrisburg Independent bas.
ketball team, which closes its season
tomorrow night, has had a very good
season, winning Is and losing
games. The best teams in the country
were met, and most of them defeated.
Three of the games lost were by

the first game with Greystock, and the
first Camden game. The locals have
defeated every team in the Eastern

sand and one human emotions which
are displayed upon the film must be
obeyed, whatever the emotion which
happens to be uppermost in the actors
mind at the moment. It is not easy
always to have such facile command Of

either from the camera artist or the
worker in the Legitimate" and for the
former it is perhaps even harder than
for the latter, since many of the acces-

the stage into the spirit of his work
are absent in the studio. It cannot be
easy to register longing in the midst Of
a babel of directors and property men
and disengaged performers, with the
camera grinding away in front of one

noisily erected on all sides.

Singing Cliffs In the Pyrenees and
Roaring Sands In Hawaii.
In certain parts Of the world are
mountains and hills which are said by
the natives to sing. In the Pyrenees
certain cliffs emit plaintive sounds re-
sembling the strains of a. harp. Two
other cliffs in the same chain are called
tho "snorers." When the wind is in
the southwest they send forth a Pc
culiar sound not altogether musical.
The faces Of these cliffs are marked by
deep gullies, open in front, which may
be compared to the pipes Of an organ.
At certain times a stratum Of air, held
between the cliffs and bordering trees,
closes the openings while the wind
blows freely between through the gull
lies, or organ pipes, behind; hence the
music that is heard.
At the confluence Of the Orinoco and
the Rio Meta are granite cliffs which
sing at sunrise. Humboldt refers to
the phenomenon as the musical stones

the rush Of the expanding air through

Many more examples may be cited to
show that nature makes use of prin-
ciples which have been adopted by
man in the creation of musical sounds.
Nor are the musical sounds Of nature
confined to rocks, mountains and hills,
for in Hawaii is sand bank fifty feet
high which, when the hand is moved
about in the loose sand, produces a
sound like that Of melodeon. It is
said that If the observer slides down
the bank on his back, dragging both
hands in the sand, the sound becomes
as loud as faint thunder.
