DR.. John lie COnte gave an account
of the work of these ants in Honduras,
where he had known them to eXcayate
a gallery under a roadway into
house. The tiled wall of the house
being too hard for them to penetrate,
they had tunneled the &dobe wall for
a foot or more above the floor, and
had thus obtained access to the room.
Efforts to expeI the visitors by the ex-
plosion of a mixture Of sulphur, salt
peter and charcoal met with but par
tial success, and it was only by forcing
powdered wood ashes into their gal
fery and thus neutralizing the fOrmie
acid by the help OF which they prob
ably carry on their excavations, that
their inrOads could be in the least pre-
vented.
DR.. Joseph Leidy spoke of the ad-
visibility of examining the contents Of
the stomach of these insects micro
scopically for the purpose of deter
mining the nature Of the food used by
them. He was of the opinion that the
fungi found in the formiearies were
only such as would naturally be found
on such vegetable deposits, with the
accompanying conditions of heat and
moisture. Samuel Il. Miller, j7s Seie11-

prisOned lightning, mashed out Of the
end of a coiled copper wire, with thou
sands of luminous silver rays emanat-
ing from it.
F'A-h, how beautiful how superbF'
exclaimed everybody.
Instantly, all the colors in the ban
ner on the wall became perfect and
true; blue was blue, and green, green,
and you know these colors are often
mistaken one for the other at night.
The colors OF the ladies' dresses, soft
lavender, blue, pink and gray, were in
lovely and harmonious contrast, and
diamonds flashed like little electric
points. Why, everybody looked hand
somer than ever they had before. The
fine dark eyes of the professor were
sparkling, and his face beaming with
pleasure, because he saw that he had
given pleasure to others, which after all
is the best, the purest happiness. Then
he put a white porcelain shade over the
| electric light, and with the softened
brightness, another delighted exclama-
ton passed like q wave over the crowd;
for you know that light like sound
travels in waves, though light beats
sound by an infinite number of times in
speed. Imight as well tell you here
that while sound would be travelling
Ieisurelv about thirteen miles in a min
ute. a flash of light can 90 the distance
O 1880 times round the whole earthi
The porcelain shade over the electric
| light made it seem as if q moon, bright
/ er than a hundred moons, had hOated
down upon US; and yet it was all the
time that mere speck of lightning
chained up, bound down hand and foot
by the professor.
Soon, by a mysterious turn of his
hand, the light darted to another cop
per wire. This other was an English
application of electricity, and has been
used a good deal in England-in dock
wards, iron-Works, railway stations and
manufactures. 1t was very bright, but
it fiickered little. Then he made the
light dart to the eandlestick men
| toned, which was invented in Paris by
a man whose funny name is Jablochkof.
1 had to 90 to the professors the next
morning to get this name, for L wrote
it first " BobbleYjock," then Bump
terhausen," and then Butthurpurt-
ties" and none of them seemed right.
This candlestick made a lovely light.
A large number of them were used at
the Paris Exposition which must have
been magnificent at night illuminated
by this imprisoned lightning.
The professor said that he had tried
to have Mr.. Edison present, and tell US
of his amazing inventions; but he was
sooverwhelmed so with business connected
with electric light, that he could not
come. Let US all hope that Mr.. Edison

symptoms ola Diseased Liver.

Symptoms Of OfaDiseasedLiver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient IS rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and IS sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach IS affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with q painful SEN
satiOn Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a Prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he IS satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he disuusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
