WONDERS OF NATURE.
THk TRAVELLING ANT OF AFRICA.

Paul Du Chaillu III his ''Wild Life Under
the Equator" gives the following account
OF the wonderful travelling ant Of Africa
"Of all the ants which inhabit the regsons
I have explored, the most dreaded Of all is
tho bashikonay it is very abundant, and is
the most VoraCiOus creature have ever met
1t is the dread of all living animals, from
the elephant and the leopard down to the
smallest insect. No wonder that the animal
aid insect world flies before them These
ants, so far az have been ablo to observe

they wander Throughout the year, aud seem
never to have any rest. They are On the
march day and night. | never saw them
carry anything away they devuur every
thing on the spot. Ii is their habit to march
through the forest in long. regular line,
just as soldiers would do, and with quite as
much order aud regularity. The line is about
two inches broad, aud often several miles in
length. All along this line are larger ants,
who act officers. standing outside of the
ranks, and keeping this singular army ia
order. These officers stand generally with
their heads facing their subordinates. They
remain thus until their squads have passed, T.,
and then join them, while others take their
places. The number of large army is 50
great that l should net even dare to enter
into calculation. / have seen one contin-
ual line passing at good speed particular

quired several hours for them to pass.
'Strange as this may seem, these ants can
not bear the heat Of the'suu, hence they could
not be found in a country where the Forests
are scarce. If they come to a place where
there are no trees to shelter them from the
sun, they Immediately build underground
tunnels, through which the whole army
passes in columns to the forest beyond. The
tunnels are four or five feet under ground,
and are only used during the heat of the
day. | have noticed that these open spaces
are often passed by them during the night
to the forest beyond. 1 suppose that these
underground tunnels must be numerous [
do net see how otherwise the ants could pro-
teot themselves against the heavy rains.

Not one man in fifty could have kept
his single handed grip, ierked at the close
of such struggle as the Saranacer had
passed through, and twitched mercilessy
as he was now being through the bog
grass and over the uneven ground. But
the guides blood was up, and nothing
could loosen his clutch. The buck reached
the bank, and gathering himself up for a
desperate leap, he flung his body into the
air. saw pair of widely separated
legs swing wildly upward, and the red
face Of Martin, head downward, aud re-

disappeared like waning rocket in the
fog overhanging the river. Once in the
water, the buck was no match for his foe.
| hurried TO the edge of the bank
Beneath me, and half across the river, a
desperate struggle was going on. Martin
had found his voice, was using il as if TO
make up for lost time In a moment n
gurgling sound reached my ears, and
knew the deer's head was under water :;
and shortly, in answer to my hail, the
guide appeared, dragging the buck behind
him. The deer was drowned and quito
dead. Drawing my knife across the still
warm throat, we bled him well, and wait
ing for Martin to rest himself a moment,
slid him down into the boat and laid him
at full length along the bottom. Taking
our places at either end, and, lifting our
paddles, we turned our faces campward.

of sight, sound and touch At last the
deepening gloom told them that night was
approaching, and night under such circum-
stances was death
All day long Abigail Becker has fed
her fire, and sought to induce the sailors
by signals-for even her strong voice
could not reach them-to throw them4
selves into the surf, and trust to ProVi-
dencs and her for snccur. In autiCipa-
tion OF this she had her kettle boiling
over the drift wood, and her tea ready
made for restoring warmth and life TO the
half frozen survivors. But either they
did not understand her, or tho chance of
rescue seemed too small TO induce them 70
abandon their temporary safety of the
wreck. They clung to 1t with the dssper-
ate instinct Of life brought face to face
with death. just at nightfall there was a
slight break IN the West; red light glared
across the thick air, as if for one instant
the eye of the storm looked out upon the
ruin 1t had wrought, and closed sgain
under lids of cloud. Taking advantage
.. this, the solitary watcher ashore made
one more effort. She waded ou: into the
water, every drop Of which, as it struck
the beach, became a particle of ice, and
stretching out and drawing in her arms,
invited, by her gestures, tho sailors to
throw themselves into the water, and
strive to reach her. Captain Hacket un-
dersiood her. He called TO his mate in
the rigging Of the other mast at is our

and throwing himself into the waves,
struck for the shore. Abigail Becker.
breast-deep, in the surf awaited him. He
was almost within her reach when the
undertOw swept him back, by a mighty
effort she caught hold Of hlm. bore him in
her strong arms out of tho water, and
laying him down by her fire. warmed his
chilled blood by cautions draughts of
warm tea. The mate, who had watched
the rescue, now followed, and the captain,
partially restored, insisted upon aiding
him. As the former nearcd tho shore,
the recoiling water baffled him. Captain
Hacket caught hold of him, but the un-
dertow swept them both away, locked in
each others arms. The brave woman
plunged after them, and with the strength
of a giantess, bore them, clinging to each
other, to the shore, and up TO the fire.
The five sailors followed in succession, and
were rescued in the same way.
a few days after, Captain IIackes and
his crew were taken off Long Point by a
passing vessel, and Abigail Becker re-
sumed her daily duties without dreaming
that she had done anything extraordinary
enough to win for her the worlds notice.
In her struggle every day for food and
warmth for her children, she had no leisure
for the indulgence of self congratuIation,
Like the woman of scripture, she bad only
''done what she could" in the terrible
exigency that had broken the dreary
monotony of her life.-ETom the Atlantic

Land Of the dead and the dying
Into land without tomb.
Out Of life Of commotion,

Into land calm and quiet;
Never a storm cometh nigh it;
Never wreck Oh its shore.

Never shall wither away.

Into the world that rcjoices-
World of bright visions and voices,

THE STORM.

Heavy Fall Of Rain-Tho Streets Flooded.
The changeable character OF the weather has never
been more clearly proven sthan during the present
winter. While we have not been favored with the
usual number OF cold days and heavy snow falls, we
have had more changes than usual and q good deal
OF mild weather The Soft balmy air and the warm
OF Saturday last led people almost to expect that
spring was at hand, and to look forward to at any
rate few moro days Of the same charming char
acter. But these hopes were not to be realized.

however pleasant in antcipatory appearance, is sell

times Old Sol tried his best to break out and show

and cold, drizzling rain began to fall A great
many people VINO had gone to church unprovided
with umbrellas were surprised at the conclusion
of the service to find that 1t had begun to rain, and
much excellent exhertation and holy counsel was
quickly forgotten In the annoyance caused thereby
At intervals the rain continued to fall until early
hour yesterday morning, when 1t commenced to
come down with great force. The large drops bat
tered against the windows, pattered on the roofs
aud sidewalks, and with their noise aw0ke the
sleepers and made them almost think that another
deluge was commencing. lt does not often rain
so heavily as it did yesterday morning, or
If it does 1t seldom lasts so long. 1t
burst over the city and was empying itself on the
streets and housetops. BY the time the business
hours had arrived the storm had greatly moderated
and though It continued raining the fall was as
nothing when compared with that OF the early
hours
The effect OF the storm In this city could be seen
on every side throughout the day. Fortu-
nately great damage is reported as hav-
ing been done, at any rate so far as de-
struction Of property Is concerned The streets
however, gave evidence OF the violence
OF the rain. The cutters were swelled into little

OF the city large bodies of water could be seen Ill

ism was made very disagreeable on account
OF the lodgment OF large quantities OF water
at the foot OF the various piers. Broadway pre-
sented very deplorable spectacle, both the SIDE
