Strange Sands.

THE most notable of those curious
freaks of nature, singing sands" E"
are those of the Island of Kauai. When
a small quantity of these is clapped
between the hands it is said to give
forth sound so shrill as to resemble
a hoot, Put into bag and violently
shaken, these sands emit a noise
strangely like the bark Of a dog.
On the beach at Manchester, Mass,
are the so-called singing sands" but
these are outdone by the Hawaiian
sands mentioned Similar sands also
occur in the Colorado Desert, where
also are to be found those curious
shifting sands that continually travel
hither and thither over the vast plain
of clay. Their movements are, of
course, induced by the winds, and when
a strong breeze is blowing the siliciouS
particles of which they are composed
give out an audible humming or sing
inG. Under the microscope these
sands show an almost perfectly spher-
ical form, so that they roll upon each
other at the slightest impulse, cir
cumStance that also accounts for the
rapidity with which the sands travel
over the desert.
One theory advanced with respect
to the singing" of these sands is that
it is due to an exceedingly thin film
of gas that covers the grains. Gathered
and removed from the desert, it is said
that the sands lose their vocal proper
ties

At that moment the door of the Office

you right"
One of the officers snickered, and Mae
Walpole turned red.
And you've been out there diving for
this all morning." cried Dick. Sally,
you're the SmarteSt person among uS!''
Sally sat abruptly down on the floor.
I'm tired" she announced briefly. Bet
I dived 100 times after that old purse
that people said Dick stole when they
just lost it themselves"
1--WE might as we'll beat it." broke in
one of the officers. And personally,
think people should have little more
evidence before they accuse nice young
fellows of stealing" With that he slap
ped Dick on the back and closed the
door, leaving a silent, embarrassed group
in the Office.
After a moment the hotel manager
apologized volubly to Dick, who now was
anxious to get away. He had his hand
on the door when Mae Walpole ran over
and grasped his hand.
I'm awfully sorry!" she burst out
earnestly. Francis and have treated
you just terribly. Can you forgive us?'
Dick smiled at her, then turned to-
ward the young man, who was standing
with bowed head. Suddenly Stanley
looked up, took a step forward, and held
out his hand
That's right Mills" he said. "I've
been rotten about this whole thing. ]

out yesterday, and I'm awfully sorry
about this purse affair"
Dick gave one hand to him and the
other to the girl
"All right" he said, "Iet's forget it.
And after all, Sally. here, is the girl who
should get the credit. And by the way
Sally, was watching you from my win

lighted surprise.

his own haunts; yet had the advan-.
tage of being able to slay at distance.
Only two more days and had to say
farewell to the jungles. At 10 on a
peaceful jungle morning two Gonds
hurrying across the vista of fields awoke
me with news of a fresh human kill at
Sarangpur, south of my camp. The
man-eater had crossed the Selwar track
one night as we lay abed, passed our
camp fire and extended his reign of
terror to the southern block.
Only two miles away this time, and a
kill only an hour old The Gonds of
Tarrach, unaccustomed as yet to the
tigers depredationS. were not yet in
capable of cooperation. Within an hour
I was hunting the trail. Two stout
trackers at my shoulder pointed the
way, while I riveted my attention on
| picking up the kill The jungles seemed
/ hushed in expectation. Nature appar-
entity was holding her breath to see the
terror of the jungle die
Then from far ahead we heard the
man -eater. At last he was within kill
| ing distance.
The ground sloped upward, so step
by step we made a detour to get above
him. 1t is suicide to take on a charg-
| ing tiger from below. AS we moved,
1Ailo b1ALlC pIOUdUly ulCduCIOuSly, ne
stopped eating and there was an omi-
! nous silence. Placing the Gonds up
trees, step by step, finger on trigger, I
] moved alone down through the under
| growth toward him.
At last I caught sight of striped
body, a great yellow and black beast,
looking back over his shoulder at me.
Resting my rifle against tree, aimed
for the back of the neck and pressed
the trigger, closely followed by a second
barrel. He dropped, quivered moment,
lashed his tail, and never moved again.
There were 18 yards between us at the
end.
And so came swift and overdue retri-
button to the terror of Bajag.
He measured nine feet between pegs:
very heavy and massive, but very old
One lower canine tooth was missing.
and two smaller teeth were deficient
! and all the rest were very blunt. All
the claws were blunt, split and black
ened. There was not an atom Of fat on
the whole body, and he was lean with
| age. Unable any longer to hold his
own with jungle animals, or even with
village cattle, he must have taken to
man-kllling as the easiest way.

Flowers of Old Egypt.

TN a suburb of Cairo stands the Ma
tional Museum of Egyptian Antiqui-
tbs founded three-quarterS of CEN
tuyy ago by a Frenchman known as
Mariette Bey. One department OF this
museum is devoted to an interesting
collection of specimens of plants which
have been found in the Sepulchral
monuments of that country.
It is remarkable that, although the
botanical collection is large and con-
tains many varieties. every plant Is
still to be found growing in the valley
of the Nile. Moreover, the closest eX-
animation fails to reveals the slightest
difference between the plants that
flourished so centuries ago and those
which the traveller sees today on the
banks Of the river.
Flowers such as the boy Moses or
the children Of Joseph picked still
bloom unchanged. There are to be
seen here blue sprays of larkspur which
loving hands laid upon the bodies of
those who died a thousand years be-
fore Abraham and Sarah went down
into Egypt.
III the tombs Of later date have been
found, together with apparently simple
ornamental flowers, such as hollyhocks
and chrySanthenums, the various
fruits, vegetables and grains for which
the land has ever been renowned, such
as figs, dates, olives, grapes, pomegran-
ateS, onions, barley and wheat. Around
the neckS and upon the breasts of
those who died at the time when Solo,
mon reigned in Jerusalem, about 900
b: C., were found garlands of celery,
which does not appear to have been
used at that time as vegetable by the
Egyptians

the early morning air the water seemed
warm, and Sally didn't stay up on the
platform any longer than necessary.
She would run out on the board. make
a pretty dive, swim around the bottom
as long as she could hold her breath,
then rise to the surface and repeat the
performance.
Sally's father got up before his un-
usual arising time, knowing the officers
would be there for Dick very early that
morning He was dumfounded when ne
learned that his daughter was up before
him, and still more surprised when ne
found her in the lake. He told her to
come in, but she refused, and knowing
how much at home she was in the water,
he was content to sit on the veranda
and watch her.
