NATURAL HISTORY NOTES. GULLS v. JACKDAWS. Mr E Benson. of Pulverbatch, while staying at B:"umans was amused by the doings of tne gulls. Jackdaws are also numerous there, and the gulls are in the habit of waylaying them, and robbing them of the food they are bringing to their young. The jackdaws do not submit tamelv to this robbery; they fodow the gulls to their nests, and, if left unguarded for a moment, recapture the'spoil and fly off with it. To prevent this, both gulls have to stand by the youngster, one t holding the food, whilst the other keeps the jackdaw at bay.—H. E. Forrest (Shrewsbury). -in the "Field."

However, next year, something might be done, and I would respectfully sug- gest that as it is a matter of such Importance to the towns served exclusively by this railway that a committee might be appointed to co- operate with similar bodies which have been constructed by other councils, with a view to collating the facts with regard to excessive charges, and to organise some kind of resistance to the IT further continuance. I feel confident that if this were done, the exceptional rates now being charged, on the Chester and Holyhead [Railway would soon be abolished. The con- stant attacks made upon them durinrr the past eight or nine years have resulted in reducing them materially in some commodities. "-On the •motion of Mr J. A.

CONWAY PETTY SESSIONS. TUESDAY. — Before H. Kneeshaw, Esq. (chairman), Dr Dalton, Dr R. A. Prichard, Ephraim Wood, Esq., C. J. Wallace, Esq., and G. O. Jones, Esq.

Williams, Llandudno; that of the I Royal Oak, Conway, to Mr W.'Woodhouse; and that of the North-Western Hotel, Llandudno, to Miss Lily Mayger. THE INTEMPERATE LIST.—The follow- ing persons were fined for drunkenness:—John Owen, Firidd Gerig, Llandudno; Thomai Wil- liams, Gyffin; and William Rowlands, Mount- pleasant, Conway. A PUBLIC-HOUSE JASE.-George Owen, 2, Belle Cottage, Penmaenmawr, was sum- moned for being at the Penmaenmawr Hotel during prohibited hours on Sunday, the 28th of July, and William Smith, the proprietor, was charged with allowing Owen to be on his licensed premises.—Mr J. J. Marks appeared to prosecute on behalf of the police, while Mr R. S. Chamberlain defended.—Mr Marks stated that P.C. Williams (69) went to the hotel in question about twenty minutes to eight on Sunday evening, the 28th July, where he found George Owen, who had before him a pot of beer, which was three-parts full. Upon being questioned by the officer Owen said that he had come there to see Miss Clarke, the barmaid. The policeman asked whose beer was in the pot, and Owen replied that it was his, and, thereupon, drank it. The officer then asked Miss Clarke for her explanation. She replied that she took it for granted that Owen was entitled to a glass of beer, inasmuch as he had slept at Fleetwood the previous night. As a matter of fact Owen, who had been encamp- ing at Fleetwood for a fortnight, had slept at Fleetwood the previous night, but had returned at one o'clock the afternoon. If he had walked directly to the hotel he would be entitled to a glass of beer. But he did not. He went home, and changed his clothes. Besides, when found on the premises it was twenty minutes to eight o'clock. The question for the bench to try was whether Owen was a bona-fide traveller, or not, —P.C. Williams corroborated the opening re- marks.—Mr R. S. Chamberlain said that he was not going to contend that Owen was a bona-fide traveller. His contention was that defendant was there as Miss Clarke's guest, for whom he made messages of a peculiar nature occasionally. The I beer was given by Miss Clarke as a present. No money was passed nor asked.—The defendant Owen, Miss Clarke, and Elizabeth Williams, gave evidence for the defence, all of whom deposed that the beer was the gift of Miss Clarke.—The Bench dismissed the case, but thought that it was a very proper one to bring before them. NO LIGHT.—J. Wynne Jones, Glan Con- way, was fined 2s 6d and c'osts for riding a bicycle without a light. CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.—Rose Smith, Penmaenbach, was summoned for neglecting and ill-treating her two children, named Mary Isabella, eleven years old, and Annie, nine years I old.—Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted on behalf of the Pociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Inspector Rowlands deposed that he visited the house of the accused en the 4th of I July, and there found Rose Smith in a muddled condition. The witness described the condition of the children which was of a revolting and loathsome nature. The vermin on the younger child were such as he could have brushed them away.—The Bench: And did she go to school? —Witness: Yes.—The Bench: How did they allow her ?—The Witness I don't know.—The Bench: What school did she attended?—The Witness Conway, I suppose. The house was in a filthy and dirty condition. She said that she was in receipt of. £3 a month. Really, the defendant was to receive £4 a month from her husband, from whom she lived apart. Witness had warned her about the treatment of her children some three years ago. She lived at Glan Conway then.— Sergeant Evans gave cor- roborative evidence.—P.C. Williams (69) de- posed having seen Rose Smith under the influ- ence of drink many a time, but not so drunk as to justify him in interfering with her.—Dr Wil- liams, Conway, gave evidence to the effect that the treatment meted out to the children was such as to injure thsir health.—The Bench sent the defendant to prison for three months with hard labour. Upon being taken from court the prisoner declared that it was too bad, and that she would cut her throat. TRAVELLING WITHOUT TICKET.— Hugh Davies, joiner, Glan Conway, pleaded guilty of travelling without a ticket between Glan Conway and Llandudno Junction with a view of defrauding the company.—Alfred Cooper, grinder, Chapel-street, Conway, was charged with travelling between Rhyl and Con- way without a ticket.—The defendants were each fined 20s and costs.?Jr Fenna prosecuted. 1- d

HOLYHEAD SCHOOL BOARD. WEDNESDAY.—Mr Thomas Williams in the chair. VOTES OF SYMPATHY.—The Chairman alluded to the sad bereavement sustained bv Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, who had but recently visited Holyhead, and suggested that a vote of condolence be passed with her in consequence of the death of the Duke of Saxe- Coburg-Gotha.—-On the motion of Mr W. S. Owen, seconded by Mr W. D. Jones, this was accordingly done and passed in silence.—Mr R. PI Pritchard (clerk) was requested to forward the same to Sir Arthur Bigge.-The assassina- tion of King Humbert of Italy was commented upon. A vote of sympathy with the Italian nation was also passed unanimously, and the clerk was instructed to forward the same and to express indignation and sorrow at the murderous act. SCHOOL GRANTS.—The Clerk reported the following grants had been obtained :—Boys' department, Ll 2s 3d per head average attend- ance, 113. Girls' department, £1 Is 6d per head; average attendance, 111. Infants', 17s per head average attendance. 132. Total in- crease as compared with last year, L2 Is 3d.

A motion was unanimously passed congratulating the teachers on the success attained by them the teachers on the success attained by them during the past vear. MORE SALARY WANTED.—The head teachers of the Park Board Schools, viz., Mr Owen Roberts, Miss M. J. Jones, and Miss M. Evans, applied for an increase of salary now that they were about to commence another year's work under the new conditions imposed upon them by the present code, thinking the time opportune for the fixing of their future salaries on a firmer basis than heretofore and assigning reasons for the same. It was con- tended that there was a prevailing tendency throughout the country now-a-days to give teachers a fixed rather than a fluctuating salary and hope was expressed that the board would I do the same. It was stated that two of the teachers had been in the service of the board for 23 years and that during the whole of that time there had been neither revision nor an in- crease of salaries made. It was pointed out that during the same period they had obtained the best reoorts and gained the highest grants. Miss Ellen Lewis and Mr W. B. Thomas, certi- ficated teachers, also applied for an increase of salary.-After a brief discussion, the matter was referred to the teachers' committee to in- vestigate and report upon at the next ordinary meeting of the board.

MENAI BRIDGE URBAN I COUNCIL TUESDAY.—Mr J. Davies Jones, J.P., presiding. TAXING BICYCLES.—A letter was read from Mr E. Jones Griffith, M.P., acknowledging the resolution of the council in favour of taxing bicycles, but stating that he was of opinion that no legislation on the lines suggested by the reso- lution could be brought before the House this session. ST. GEORGE'S PIER.—The Clerk read a letter from Messrs Rice Roberts and Laurie, letter from Messrs Rice Roberts and Laurie, Llangefni, regretting that it had taken the coun- cil so long to give a definite reply regarding the St. George's Pier. THE AUDITS.—The district auditor (Mr W. Griffith, Colwyn Bay), wrote expressing his satisfaction at the effort made by the council to place their finances on a proper footing. He trusted that in future no sums would be entered and charged in the accounts of the council in respect of interests and overdrafts. FOOTPATHS.—A small committee was ap- pointed to consider a communication from the Office of Woods and Forests, stating that near the Anglesey abutment of the Menai Suspension Bridge there was a footpath leading round some houses at Tanybont. The Department wished to know whether the footpath was under the jurisdiction of the council.—The Chairman maintained that the path alluded to was not a footpath. VITAL STATISTICS.—Dr Eraser submitted his report for June stating that seven births and three deaths had occurred, giving a death rate of 20.8 per 1QOO. No case of fever had been noti- fied. ALLEGED DEFECTIVE LIGHTING.— In the course of a discussion relative to the defective street lighting, Mr R. G. Thomas alluded to the gas supply of the district by the gas company, and he asserted that 33 per cent. was water gas. The gas company, by the Act of Parliament, was to supply coal gas. It had been clearly stated and proved that water gas was very injurious to health, and a whole room full of people could be suffocated without a leakage being located. Some additional legisla- tion ought to be put upon the gas companies with' reference to the quality of gas they sup- plied. It had been done in other places. Further, there were several householders in the district using private meters which were guaranteed by the suppliers not to allow a drop of water through them. These persons found that they could not light their gas. There was something wrong, and he took it that there was water in the gas which could not be taken out unless the fixtures were removed. He had an example of the gas at his own house. There was a defect somewhere, and when the fixtures were removed nearly a jugfnl of water came out of the pipes. He made inquiries, and found that it was owing to the water gas supplied by the gas company. Some notice of the matter ought to be taken by the council, and he pro- posed that the surveyor should obtain informa- tion on the subject from other towns, and sub- mit a report to the watch committee.—This was agreed to, the chairman remarking that it was a most important matter. THE PROPOSED TOWN HALL. In bringing up the report of the deputation which waited upon the Marquis of Anglesey with re- ference to the site for the proposed town hall, the Chairman said that they were very politely received, and, judging by their reception, a favourable result could be anticipated. His lordship very graciously and kindly promised to take the matter into consideration.

The offertories at Plasynant Private Chapel, near Carnarvon, amount*-n £ to B5 16s 7d. have been forwarded to the Lord Mayor of London, for the widows and orphans of soldiers 'and sa.il- ors who have lost their lives from wounds or diseases while engaged in the war in South Africa.

CARNARVON HARBOUR TRUST. I TUESDAY.—Present: Mr J. Menzies (chair- man), Mr H. Clegg (vice-chairman), Sir W. H. Preece, Major Turner, Messrs C. A. Jones, Nor- man Davies, J. R. Pritchard, D. P. Williams, R. Roberts, Owen Roberts, J. Davies, H. Richards, T. D. M. Lloyd, Hugh Jones, M. T. Morris, and Messrs Bowen Jones (clerk and surveyor), and H. Owen (collector). NEW MEMBER.—Mr H. Clegg gave notice that at the next meeting, he would propose that Mr H. R. Davies, Treborth Hall, be elected member of the Trust to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Captain Mansell Morgan.—The Chairman remarked that a number of gentlemen had lately been elected members of the Trust, but up to the present they had not attended. He hoped that any gentleman elected in the future would attend, and give them the benefit of his assistance to carry on the work of the Trust. THE TOWN SEWAGE.—Sir Wm. Preece asked what had become of the suggestion made by him some time ago as to the desirability of having a joint conference of the Harbour Trust and Town Council in reference to the town sewage.-The Surveyor replied that the matter had been before the council's sanitary committee, and he understood that that committee had asked Dr Fraser, the medical officer of health, to report upon the same; after which, no doubt, the matter would be further gone into. FINANCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT.-Mr Clegg submitted the report of the finance com- mittee which showed that the receipts during the month amounted to £ 245, and the expendi- ture £ 195 balance at the bank, JE1921. The following sums had been received as harbour dues during July, imports, JE60, as compared with P.62 for the period last year; exports, JE81, as compared with JE122 for the same period last year; tonnage, £ 31, as compared with £ 52; passing tolls, £6, as compared with JE7; yards, wharfers, offices, &c., JE64, as compared with JE53, or a nett decrease of JE55 on the corresponding month of last year. SLATES SHIPPED.-The following is the amount of slates shipped during the month of June:—6521 tons, corresponding month last year 7272, decrease 611 tons; for the past three months of April, May, and June, 20,514 tons; corresponding period last year, 21,795 tons, or a decrease of 1281 tons. IS VICTORIA DOCK A DEATH TRAP?— The Chairman called attention to the reports in the papers of a recent accident to a woman fall- ing into the new dock, and asked the surveyor whether it was due, as alleged, to the fact there was no light or no proper protection.-The Sur- veyor explained that the lamps on the quay with the exception of the blue and red lamps, were all put out during the summer months up to the regatta day. After that they were lit all night. He thought the Trustees safe-guarded the dock properly, as they had laid chains around it.—Mr J. R. Pritchard thought the papers were not going to the root of the matter. The fault did not lie, he thought, with the Trustees, but the true fact was that drink was responsible for most of these people who fell in. -Mr Clegg did not like to see the reports circu- lated in the papers that this was a death trap, and he thought it was their duty, if possible, to try and make it more secure. He believed Mr Pritchard was right in what he said.—Mr D. P. Williams suggested that the question be referred to the works committee, and this was adopted. -Mr J. R. Pritchard thought they should also ask the Chief-constable to have all persons found drunk and incapable of taking care of them- selves on the quay and promenade taken up for their own protection and safety.-This sugges- tion was also adopted. THE DEEPENING OF THE BAR.-Sir W. H. Preece referred to a discussion which was raised at a recent meeting through his initiative with regard to the depth of water on the bar, and the desirability of dredging there so as to deepen the channel. He had since had an opportunity of discussing the matter thoroughly with Mr Lyster, of the Mersey Dock Board, who agreed with the opinion which he (Sir William) held, that if the depth of water on the bar was to be maintained the bar must be dredged. If that was not done, the channel would inevitably become shallower and shal- lower. It was perfectly clear that the quantity of water which flowed in and out of the Straits was virtually constant, and if there was not a sufficient depth to allow the water to pass out it would find its way over the banks and elsewhere and make other openings narrower and shal- lower than the existing bar, and things would arrive at this stage, that water could flow out of the Straits through several channels, each of which would be useless as an entrance to the port. If they could deepen the bar they would have a channel to increase the flow of water over the bar. Then came the question of hiring a dredger. The dredger which was employed by the Mersey Dock Board was too large and oostly for the purposes of the Trust, but one of the authorities subordinate to the Mersey Board had small dredgers, one of which would be just the thing required for the bar. He could not say what the "charges of hiring would be, but they could not be excessive. If they could secure the use of such a dredger for say £20 a day, it would be money very well spent if in a week's time they succeeded in dredging the channel and the bar to a depth of six or eight feet at lowest spring. He understood that the I present depth was only three feet six inches,. which was much too low to allow such a channel to be maintained at, particularly as it had a tendency to grow less. He should like the Trust to authorise the surveyor to communicate with the authority he had referred to with the view of ascertaining their charges.—The Chair- man felt sure that the Trust was very indebted to Sir William for the trouble he had taken in this matter. To have the bar deepened at the expense of £120, or even JE500, would be very r cheap indeed, and he would most strongly support the suggestion.—Sir William added that he had discussed the question most thoroughly with every engineer he had come in contact with that was an authority on the deepening of channels, and they all perfectly agreed with the opinion which he had expressed.—Mr M. T. Morris: What effect would that have on the present large sandbanks ?— Sir William It would rather incline to diminish it; it must prove beneficial all round.-The Chairman: The matter is not so simple as it seems to pre- sent itself. This Carnarvon bar is constantly shifting.—Sir William It will change more and more, and then the shallower it becomes.—Mr J. R. Pritchard asked where the deposit would be placed, and Sir William was understood to reply that it would be carried on the sandban k —Eventually, on the motion of Mr Pritchard the question was referred to the works com the question was referred to the works com mittee with the view of carrying out Sir W il liam's suggestion, and the latter gentleman was added to the committee.

THE WESLEYAN TWENTIETH CEN- TURY FUND.—In his address at the confer- ence, we find that Mr Samuel Perks, M.P., the initiator of the Wesleyan Twentieth Century Fund, paid a high tribute to North Wales, for the splendid part they are taking in assisting I' the movement to raise a, million guineas. The Conway circuit have promised 750 guineas, ami have already remitted to the treasurer £ 466. The Llandudno circuit has promised 177 guin- eas, of which sum, J358 has been paid.
