Sand eels are omnivorous. They
feed on almost every type of small
marine animal, being especially
fond of small crustacea, fish fry,
copepods and even their own wee
offspring.
In the Northern seas the launces
are important food for their more
robust neighbors The f1nback
whale devours them by the thou
sands. Porpoises and other pre-
daceous fish chase them and even
follow them to the sandy beach.
The launces, in desperation fleeing
before them, spread out like a great
silver sheet as they press their
sharp snouts into the soft, wet
sand, wriggling their slender bodies
with frantic haste to place them
selves beyond the reach Of their
enemy. But the porpoise may be
seen "nosing" out the tiny fishes
that have made such q gallant effort
to escape.
The launce has commercial value
only in that it is important food

The giant without a heart said,
You will shoot everything that has
song so that will have the finest

When the bells tolled midnight the
three giants went back to their
mountain home. The villagers
broke up their dancing and went
home and to bed.
The giants on their mountain top
felt so pleased at all the evil they
had done that they didn't quarrel
that night. The giant without a
heart sang like crow and the
other two listened and said he
sounded very fine indeed.
Bluebirds Were Silent.
Santa visited the kingdom that
night, as he always does on Christ

wrong, of course, because every one
was sleeping peacefully.
But when his sleigh rose into the
air he noticed that IL bluebirds
were sitting on the bag of toys
back of him.
What is this?" he asked them
But none of them answered. You
see, bluebirds are the birds of hap
piness But just then their hearts
were so heavy they couldn't sing.
Santa took them home with him
and gave them each silver cage
They sang very we'll in the toy
shop. But Santa worried
He knew something must be wrong
in the kingdom of the good, gray
Queen. He sent off some wind
fairies to find out what the trouble
was.
The next morning the good, gray
Queen woke early because she loved
Christmas Day. She put on a red
velvet dress and pinned on it a
bunch of holly. Then she hurried
into the great hall where she ex-
pected to see every one rushing
around making big breakfast
But there was no one in sight
She pulled a bell cord. But the bell
echoed through the castle. There
was no other sound.

The common sand launce, also
called sand eel, because of its form,
is abundant on our Atlantic Coast
from Cape Hatteras northward.
Another member of the family is a
Pacific species, which is common
from Monterey northward. These
fishes are very plentiful on sandy
shores about Unalaska, where they
are caught in seines.
The sand launces travel in i'm
mense schools, swimming at the
surface of the water. They often
bury themselves in the sand, where
they remain above low-water mark
while the tide is out. No one has
been able to offer a satisfactory
theory for this performance. They
seem to be wide travellers, because
they appear in vast numbers on the
