TRAIN HITS SCHOOL
BUS: 8 ARE KILLED
HEARTRENDING SCENE WHEN
FAST TRAIN HITS VEHICLE
TWENTY-ONE INJURED.

Eight school children are dead and
ri others are seriously injured as d
result of a crash early Monday morn
ing at Mahunta. near Waycross, when
an Atlantic Coast Line passenger
train, the Everglades Limited, Mum
Der 81 south bound, crashed into a
school bus.
Elroy Strickland, who was driving
the bus, suffered a fractured leg. He
stated to railroad officials here that he
was driving in misty rain and had
all side curtains OF the bus closed. AS
he approached the railroad track, he
said, he asked one of the boys on the
bus to look toward the north and see
if there was train approaching
Strickland said he looked toward the
south. Just as the bus reached the
center OF the crossing the train crash
ed into it.
The terrific impact of the heavy
locomotive threw the bus a distance
OF twenty feet and strewed its occu-
pants along the right OF way. Three
OF the children were killed instantly
The screams of their companions
could be heard above the noise of the
train as it sped down the track toward
the station. \

SINGING AND BARKING
SANDS NEAR HON0LU LU
ALL SORTS OF GUESSES TRY
TO EXPLAIN WHY THE
DUNES SPEAK OUT.

A visitor to Kanai a nights ride
from Honolulu, is introduced without
delay to the Barking Sands,0 gold
en- knot of wind-blown dunes in the
shadow OF the opal-hewed cliffs OF
Polihale. The sands cry out in various
cadences, states The Mentor. In the
wind they rustic like silk.
Again, when some one\ slides down
the sandy Nslopes a sound is produced
like the bark OF dogs baying at the
moon. The Barking Sands OF Kauai
are natural curiosity, a phenomenon
lin Mother Natures bag OF tricks that
astonishes all that hear them. The
weather must be dry for them to bark
their best. Midsummer seems to be
the ideal time for their sonorous reac-
tons.
The phenomenon OF Singing sands"
has been discovered on various beach
les OF England and Wales On the Isle
of Eigg in the HebrideS a stretch OF
snowy land, near the cliffs OF sand
stone, has this strange musical quail
ty. In the dune region along the east
ern shore of Lake Michigan sands
sing under the feet with definite sound
vibrations, both delightful and curious.
The sound ceases a hundred feet
from the last lap OF the waves. Thor
eau stumbled upon singing sands in
New Hampshire, southeast OF the vii
lage of Manchester. He said the sound
resembled the rubbing OF finger on
wet glass.
For the last fifty years scientists
have diligently studied the causes at
work behind the phenomenon. One in
vestigator's explanation is that certain
sandy stretches are bathed in waters
containing various salts, including
calcium and magnesium bicarbonates.
When the water dries the grains are
coated with a film OF salt, which under
friction produces sound comparable
to the action OF rosin on the bow OF
a violin.
DIR. H. Darlington Bolton believes
that thin pellicles or films Of air or
gases, condensed upon the surface OF
the grains during the gradual evap-
Grafton after Wettlng, act as elastic
cushions separating the grains. These
cushions are capable OF considerable.
vibration and volume OF sound, pro-
duced after any quick disturbance OF
the sand.
