The Makeup Of an Ant Family.

Under ordinary circumstances an ants
nest, like beehive, consists Of three
kinds of individuals: workers, or imper-
feet females (Which constitute the great
majority, males, and perfect females.
There are, however, often several females
in an ants nest; while, as we all know,
there is never more than one queen in a
hive. The queens have wings, but after
single flight they tear off their own
wings, and do not again quit the nest.
In addition to the ordinary workers there
is in some species second, or rather
a third, form of female. In almost any
ants nest we may see that the workers
differ more or less in size. The amount
of difference, however, depends upon
the species. The Lasius niger, the small
brown garden ant, the workers are, for
instance, much more uniform than in the
little yellow meadow ant, or in Alta bar.
barG, where some of them are more than
twice as large as others. But in certain
ants there are differences still more re-
markable. Thus, iu Mexican species,
besides the common workers, which have
the form of ordinary neuter ants, there
are certain others in which the abdomen
is swollen into an immense subdiaphan-
GUS sphere. These individuals are very
inactive, and principally occupied in
celebrating kind of honey. In the
genus Pheidole-very common in South
ern Europe--there are also two distinct
forms without any intermediate grada-
tiOns: one with heads of the usual pro-
portion, and o second with immense
heads provided with very large jaws.
These latter are generally supposed to
act as soldiers, and the size of the head
enables the muscles which move the
jaws to be of unusual dimensions, though
the little ones are also very pugnacious.
This differentiation of certain individuals
so as to adapt them to special functions
seems to me very remarkable; for it must
be remembered that the difference is not
one of age or sex.-PopuEar Science

Steeple Climbing.

A very exciting incident happened the
other day at the village of Soudan in
France. In consequence of the weather
cock at the summit of the church, steeple
getting rusty, and no longer turning, as a
weathercock in its position should do, it
was determined to take it down. A man
climbed up the steeple, but just before
he could, reach the weathercock he lost
his balance and slid down for seventy
feet, then rebounded on the roof of the
church, and rolling thence was precipit-
ated to the ground. He was not much
hurt but being much shaken by the fall,
he was replaced by man named Cheva-
lier. In about half an hour Chevalier
made the most gallant efforts to haul him
self up by means of rope; but at last
his hands slipped and he fell backwards.
His foot fortunately caught in the rope,
and there he remained 1870 feet from the
ground, with his head down, beating the
air with his arms, struggling to recover
himself, and swaying backwards and for
wards by high wind Pierre Pean now
stepped forth, and volunteered to mount
to the rescue of'the unfortunate Chevalier,
but after doing his best for. three quarters
of an hour, Pierre had to descend. His
place was taken by Moreau, who, climb
ing higher up than Chevalier, slipped a
rope around his body, and cutting that
which held his foot, freed him from the
fearful position in which he had re-
mained for three hours. The people of
Soudan must really be endowed with re-
markable amount Of vitality to be able to
tumble from such giddy nights and re-
main suspended, head downwards, for so
many hours without suffering more than
Temporary ihconvenience.

THE MENNoNITEs.--Th Mennonites
do not appreciate the privileges of Amer
ican citizenship. At general conference
recently held az Elkhart, Ind, it was re-
solved that all members of the church
who had voted at the Presidential cleo
ton should be admonished, and that every
minister should try to induce his mem
bers to abstain from voting. Previous to
1871 the, Mennonites in Southern Russia
were exempted from one of the duties Of
European citizenship--miitary duty. In
that year the privilege was abolished and
the immigration movement to the United
States set in. They never go to law, and
they make it a rule never to accept pub
lie office which would render it necessary
to them to take an oath. This being the
case, it ia not strange that American
politics offers few attractions to them.

The Wellington Goal

Is the acknowledged family favorite
for various well-grounded reasons. Among
many substantial 10 advantages which II
possesses over other brands, we might
name the single fact Of its containing
such high per cent. Of carbon, thereby
giving out so much more heat than
the ordinary grade of coal. The qualities Of
different Goals have necessarily been made
the subject OF careful analysis, and their rel
alive value has been tested by frequent ex-
periments. We believe It is generally con-
ceded by both scientific authority and prac-
tical experience, that the Wellington coal is
practically the cheapest and best fuel In mar
ket. 1t Is the most economical fuel as well.
II Is more icleaaly, freer from smoke, and
more heatproducing than any other. For
the purposes OF steam navigation 1t is unsur.
passed, getting up" steam rapidly, and being
remarkably free from smoke, which is advan.
tageous alike 10 the passenger and sailor.
The rapidlty with which the Wellington has

Kissed by Mistake.

The Kingston (N.lY) Freeman relates
the following: On Friday morning about
five o'clock, as young man, whose ex-
treme modesty prevents the disclosure Of
his name, but who may be called Smith,
was preparing his store for customers, he
noticed two young ladies-strangers to
him-go past, and what appeared most
singular was the almost impertinent
manner in which they riyeted their gaze
upon him. However, they passed on and
were absent from his immediate vicinity
short time, when he was surprised to
again see them in front Of the door gaz-
ing longingly at him. Suddenly one
rushed through the open door, hurriedly
placed her travelling 5atehel upon the
floor, and without any regard for proprie-
ties, encircled his neck with her two
arms, saying between kisses bestowed,
"Oh, Charlie (kiss), am (kiss) so two
kisses) glad to see you (kiss-s-s-dzz) !
When did you come here thought
you were yer in Iowa" BY this time
Smith began to realize the delicate situa-
ton Of affairs, especially as others were
present, and he yeptured 70 protest that
the lady was mistAkcn--that bis name
was not Charlie-that be had never been
in Ioya---ihat he bad never seen her be-
fore, TO all OF which the lady finally very
reluctantly assented, remarking that he
was the perfect image of - very dear,
absent ftiend," and the reason for the
demonstration was her oyeTjoy In the

The Transport of England's Obelisk.

A correspondent of London newspa-
per, writing from Egypt, says "The
preparations for the transport of Eng
lands obelisk are being actively carried
on under the superintendeuce of Wayman
Dixon. The case in which the stone is
to be conveyed was brought out by one
of Messrs. Moss ships last week, and the
neighboring ground is strewn with iron
plates of all shapes and sizes, all ready to
be put together as soon rs sufficient space
has been cleared around the PROSTATE
stone. Fifty men and boys were at work
Yesterday clearing away the soil-the
men digging, the boys carrying soil in
straw baskets, and already mound OF
excavated stuff has arisen which overtops
the trees that line the road close by. The

GUS night last winter made convenient
breach in the sea wall, and very little
widening is needed for the passage Of the
iron case, which, when ready, is to be
rolled into deep water q hundred yards
from the shore The stone itself is quite
clear, and can be more closely examined
than its upright sister. The hieroglyph-.
les are worn, and on one side, which, when
the obelisk was erect, probably faced the
desert, and was exposed to the sand laden
winds, they are almost illegible. The
edges also have been clipped, and will
have slightly jagged appearance, Still
all this will have diminished prominence
when the stone is raised, and our obelisk
will no doubt form an object of beauty as
we'll as of interest when it stands 10 it's
home on the Thames embankment, after
having been towed through all the threat
ened dangers of storms in the Bay of Bis
cay and fogs in the English channel A
curious check to progress occurred yes
terday. The base of the obelisk could
not be found. The sister obelisk that is
erect was excavated to see what base
there ought to be, and large square
block Of granite was found. Originally
ut the four corners were four bronze ami
mails on which the obelisk had rested;
but three of these supports had gone, and
stones had been thrust beneath in their
place. After this investigation a search
was organized for the missing base, but
as yet it has not been discovered.
