Can Ants Talk?

No one has studied the habits of "our
six-legged rivals" without becoming i'm
pressed by their ability to communicate
with each other, and the wide range OF IN
telligence which they seem TO be able 10
convey. Information of common danger
is quickly spread throughout colonies
numbering many thousands, the news be-
ing brought by perhaps one ore two spies.
Hitherto their mode of communication has
been mystery, the most plausible hypOth-
esis being that it was by a sort of fencing
with their antenna. Thus an ant return
ing from foraging expedition meets an
other outward bound. They stop, strike
antenne together few times, then pro-
ceed, No. to the nest, No. 2 setting on
on q new course and going straight to the
place where No. l found her load. IL
would now appear that the striking OF
antcnn8 is merely sort OF salutation, as
two neighbors might shake hands, while
conversation goes on by other means. At
any rate, according TO the report Of Pro-
fessor Landois TO the Natural History So
ciety of Prussian Rhineland, they are pro-
vided with sounding apparatus resem-
bling that of the sand wasp. To have
implies to use and though its pitch is
generally inaudible to human ears, its
range of tone may be ample for fully de-
veloped language. We say generally
inaudible," Notwithstanding Professor
Landois' belief that it is always so. having
more than once noticed strident, Kissing
sound proceeding from columns Of .arge
ANS when annoyed. The next thing in
order is an apparatus for making inaudible
sounds audible, as invisible rays are made
luminous then some enterprising student
may give us a comparative grammar Oh

A Colorado Jury.

Two of the witnesses gave testimony IN
such a manner as to cast severe reflections
upon each others veracity. After they
had given their evidence they adjourned
outside. and after lively dispute conclud-
ed that the best way to establish their sew
eral claims to truth would be to fight the
matter out in good, old-fashiOned, rough
and-tumble style. So at it they went, and
Just as III. G. Thatcher was addressing the
jury somebody yelled Sc fight" and out ran
the constables and Jurors, despite the re-
monstrances of the court and attorney
the latter, having Just arrived from the
States, being decidedly astOnished at the
abrupt departure of those ''peers" upon
whom he had been layishing the flowers
of rhetoric. The scene outside of the
courthouse was a curious one. One of
pugilists-the one on tOp-was friend of
Constable Joe Cox, and that worthy would
call out: al command the peace !" and
then, STOPPING down, he would say 10 his
friend, in low tone: "Give him blaZes ~
This state of affairs continued for some
time, until finally Joe's friend was turned
by his antagonist; and then it occurred to
Joseph that he ought to put an end to this
outrageous violation of the dignity of the
court, and the peace and quiet of the COM
munlty. Accordingly, he called upon
George Chapman, who was standing by,
to part the combatants, which George pro-
eeeded to do, though several of the jury
were so disgusted at the abrupt termina-
ton of the fun that they pulled off their
coats and threatened to thrash him for his
efforts in discharging his duty as a citizen.

A Prima DOnna's Throat.

Nine. Pauline Lucca recently submitted
her larynx to examination by the laryn-
goscopist, DR.. Friedrich Fieber, who has
sent an account of the examination for
publication to the Nesc Free Press. DR..
Fieber is of opinion that the natural con-
formation of the mouth accounts in large
measure for the wonderful manner Nine.
Lucca possesses of raising and dropping
her voice alternately. The sound waves
are naturally strengthened in so favorably
shaped space. Moreover, the muscles OF
her palate appear to have acquired envia-
bic strength and pliability by long prae-
tice. The larynx is small and well shaped;
its several parts are marvelOusly develop
ed and perfect. The true strings are pure
snow white, and possess none of that
blush tinge which is common among
women. They are shorter, too. than DIR.
Fieber has otherwise observed among vO-
calists, but they are stronger in proper
ton. and amply provided with muscle.
While at rest they are partially screened
by the false strings; as soon as tone is
struck. however, they display themselves
in their full breadth and strength. A good
bit of the windpipe is visible through the
glottis, showing the rings plainly through
the pale red membrane,

has very painful story. told in illustra-
ton of the great present dearth OF respect
able dress-making hands in that colony.
1t seems that a well-to-do settler near
Auckland was lately attacked by an illness
which his medical attendant declared must
terminate fatally, so severe were the symp-
toms. After lying in an apparently hope
less state for some days, he suddenly took
turn for the better, and made rapid re-
covery. Not long after he had returned
to business, he was much startled, on
opening an account presented at his Office,
to find himself charged with full set of
widows weeds of elaborately complete
description. A domestic explanation nat
urally followed, and his wife reminded
him that he had always made it a special
desire that the fact of their having emil
grated to colony should never prevent
her dressing as lady. /" And the dress
makers here, you knOw,"~ she added,
" have matters so entirely in their own
hands that they generally keep you wait
ing for months for any thing new. So
when they told me you could not possibly
recover. 1 Ordered what l knew you
would wish me to wear, beforehand; and
now the things have only just come"
The bill was promptly settled. Whether
the husband was cOnsOled for the outlay
by the thought that his provident wife had
the things ready by her, is a question that
is left ODeD to conjecture

She Didn't Say Any Thing.

A few days ago, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, a rather pdsse lady got into
closely packed car on Kearney Street, near
the Maison D0re. At first no one rose to
give her seat, but, as the car reached the
White House, gentleman, evidently an
invalid. struggled painfully to his feet,
and with a quiet "A seat, Madame"
stepped one side for the lady. She took
possession with an aggrieved look, as
though he had been defrauding her of her
just due. He seemed little surprised and
perplexed for moment, but, as the car
swung around the corner to go up BOst
Street, he bent over with a pleased smile
and queried, beg pardon-what? in
voice audible to every one in the ear. With
a rather tart voice, she answered, Il did
not say any thing to you, sir" The smile
on his face grew plainly cynical with her
reply, and, as he turned to walk to the
front of the car, he remarked, Excuse
me, madam, | thought you said Thank
YOU" The lady Redeemed, stopped the
car. and got out, leaving but one calm
face, that of the invalid, who resumed his

Some Tall Men

The contest between the Iowa newspa-
pers as to which one can trot out the tallest
and slimmest man in the State, produces
some lively sparring among our ex-
changes. The HaUkeye ties to Eliot Fra
zier, of the Morning Sun, who " stands six
feet six inches high, weighs one hundred
and thirty pounds, and can lick salt off the
head of any man in Iowa" The Register
modestly presents the claim of Mike Davis,
of Des Moines, who stands six feet eight
in his stocking feet" While we do not
wish to create any jealousy or disturbance,
yet as an act of simple justice, it devolves
upon us to bring out the King bee of all,
G. Sanborn, ESQ.,, of the Manchester Free
Press. Mr.. Sanborn stands seven feet five
and three-fourth inches high, weighs
thirty-eight pounds. and is so thin that the
Lords Prayer inscribed on a three cent
piece can be read through his body by the
light of a tallow candle with the greatest
ease. He was never known to cart a
shadow and is so airy and transparent that
he can lie down and go to sleep on the
bank of heavy fog. To make long
story short, Mr.. Sanborn is remarkable
man, but at the same time this does NOT
prevent him from publishing the most re-
liable and pains taking little paper IN

The Horrors Of HydrOphObia.

William Ellick, negro, who has had
rooms at 33l Gold Street, Brooklyn, died
Yesterday under an attack of hydrophobia.
He was bitten last summer by coach dog
as he was trying to muzZle him. The pO-
lice killed the dog under the suppOsition
that it was mad, and in spite of Ellick's
wishes. Ellick's wife was bitten at the
same time, and she burned her wound
with caustic, but her husband paid no at
tention to his hurt. 1t healed up and gave
him no more trouble until last Wednes
day. Then he went to a ball and on his
way home fell in the street in a fit. He
was attacked with spasms which extended
over his entire body. In his home he
screamed and yelled, and seemed to be in
the greatest agony. He thought that
some one was going to murder his wife
and children, and when any one approach
ed him he tried his best to strike him. DR..
Segur, the Sanitary Superintendent, says
that Ellick sprang from his bed and drove
one of the physicians from the room.
Three or four physicians applied electric
batteries to Ellick's body, but he did not
improve under them. His convulsions
continued until yesterday morning, and
then he died. He eagerly drank four
glasses of water Just before his DEATH

Almost a Tragedy.

They came near having domestic trag-
edy in Council Bluffs, Iowa, few night
ago. A citizen of that place, being called
out of town by urgent business, bid tear
full and tender farewell TO his wife and babe
and started out. His mission was accom-
plished sooner than he anticipated, and
taking the evening train he arrived home
at about midnight. Going to his house
he quietly let himself in with latch key
and silently went up stairs. The gas was
burning low. but there was light enough
for him to distinguish two forms in bed,
where, according to his logic, but one
should be. Though half-crazed by the
sight, some remnants of GOODNESS remain
ed, and he withdrew to secure witness to
substantiate the statements he would be
compelled to make. After weary search
he found a policeman, and returning to
the house, stationed him at the foot Of the
bed. A motion of his finger and the gas
blazed at full head. and there, in the place
where he only of all men had Alright to be,
the agonized husband saw his mother-in-
law

A Man Cut Into Fifty-Nine Pieces.

The Louisville Cot1ier-JottT7laL thus de-
scribes remarkable accident:
Shortly after daylight yesterday morn
ing as a workman, living near the Short
line junction, about three miles from the
city, was going to his work he discovered
pieces of tine body of a man, who had
evidently been run over and killed, lying
around the Nashville railroad track near
the junction. He informed parties living
in the vicinity of what he had seen. Word
was sent to Dick Moore, the coroner, who,
as soon as possible, went out to the scene
of death and made an investigation of the
fatal accident. 1t was discovered that on
Wednesday evening, shortly after dark, a
man came into the saloon at the junction
and obtained three drinks. He informed
the bar-keeper that he was forty-three
years of age, but did not give his name.
His actions were rather strange. 1t was
further ascertained from his conversation
around the junction depot that he had
been to Utica, Ind, to get some money,
but had failed, and was on his way to his
home, somewhere in the neighbOrhOOd OF
the junction. He had no money, and the
bar-keeper of the saloon was compelled
to credit him, upon his promise that he
would 90 home and bring back the money
with which to pay for the drinks. This
was all that could be discovered concerning
the man.
The drinks, with others he had probably
previously taken, must have muddled his
brain so that he knew not what he was
doing, and in endeavoring to get to his
home he must have fallen down on the
railroad track.
About $50 D. m. freight train on the
L. and n. road came laundering along,
and, alas for the poor man, ran over him
without the engineer or any of the men
on it knowing what had occurred. Dur
ing the night a passenger and another
| freight train of the same road passed over
his already mangled body, and cut hin
into numerous pieces, so that if he has aly
family they will be unable to recognize
him. The coroner could find nothing ex-
cept a scrap ofpaper in the pockets of the
clothing which they gathered, and which
indicated nothing that would fix the iden-
tity of the fearfully mutilated body. He,
however, succeeded in picking up fifty
nine pieces, into which number the body
had been severed by the passing trains,
and nearly all of which were frozen.
There was no head nor face to be found.
1t is also said that blood from the brains
of the man bespattere8 one of the locOmO-
tives attached to one of the trains which
arrived in this city. From all the evidence
obtained by the coroner, the person who
was in the saloon at the junction and the
man killed was one and the same individ-
ual. 1t will be perceived from the verdict
of the Jury that the employees of the
Louisville and Nashville road are not held
to blame for the accident.

Seeing If the House is on Fire.

ltis very easy matter, says the Buffalo
COMMERCIAL Advertiser, for some one MEM
Der of family to make rule to examine
carefully, after the others have retired,
every place where there is possibility
that fire could be ignited, with danger to
the house. Five minutes given to exam
ination of furnaces, stoves, fire-places, and
their surroundings, might be all that was
necessary to prevent serious and dread
full confagration. And the Advertiser in
stances the case of housekeeper, who has
been faithful family servant for thirty
five years. long time in these days of
" "hired help" This conscientious woman
made it matter, one might almost say, of
religion, TO 60 every night, after the fami-
ly have retired, without light, from gar
ret to cellar. to see if every chance of acci-
dent from fire was removed. Ridicule did
not make her swerve from this habit. One
evening, after the departure of some guests
