In further inslallmsnt Of his observations
uron the economy and habits Of thesa
insects, laid before the last meeting Of
the Linnean Society, Sir John Lubbock CON-
menccs by relating his fresh experiments en-
their powers Of communication. A dead blue
bottle fly was pinned down, and after vain eff
forts at removal the selected ant HE'D home
and emerged with friends, who slowly, and
evidently in redulously, followed their guide.
The latter, starting ea ~ great pace, dis
tanced them, and they returned. only, how
ever, 10 be again informed, come cut, and at
length be ccaxed to the prey. Several exper-
iments, made with different species Of ants and
under varied circumstances, seem 10 indicate
the possession Of something approaching Ian
suagc. II is impossible to doubt that the
friends were brought out by the irsg ant, and.
as she returned enpty-handed, to the nest,
the others cannot have been induced to follow
merely BY observing her proceedings. Hence
the conclusion that they possess the power Of
requesting their friends to come and help
them. In other experiments testing the rec
ignition Of relations, although the old ants
had absolutely never seen the young ones IN
I'll the moment (some days after arriving at
maturity they were introduced into the nest,
yet in all cases they were undoubtedly reeog-
n;sed as belonging to the community. IL
wonld seem. therefore, to be established that
the recognition Of ants is not personal and in
dividual, and that their harmony is due to the
fact that each ant is acquainted with every
other member Of the community. IL would
further appear from the fact that they recog-
Mise their friends even when intoxicated, that
they know the young born in their own nest,
even when they have been brought oua of the
chrysalis by strangers, and that the reoogni-
ton is not effected by means Of any sign or
password.

SCIENTIFlC.

M. Folbarri has added another to
the various chemical compounds de-
signed to render wood incombustible
in this case petrifying it, as it were,
without producing any change in ap-
pearance. The compound consists of
sulphate of zinc, fifty-five pounds !;
American potash, twenty-five pounds !;
American alum. forty-four pounds /;
oxide of manganese, twenty-five
pounds; sulphuric acid, of sixty de-
grees, twenty-five pounds; water,
fifty-five pounds. All the solids are
to be poured into an iron boiler con.
tanning the water at a temperature of
lib deg. Fab. and as soon as the SUBJ
stances are dissolved, the sulphuric
acid is poured in, little by little. until
all the substances are thoroughly sat.
urated. In preparing the wood, it is
placed in a suitable apparatus, and ar
ranged in various sizes-according to
the purposes for which it is intended
ON iron gratings, care being taken
that a space of about half an inch be-
tween every two pieces of wood.
The chemical compound is then
pumped into the apparatus, and, as
soon as the vacant spaces are filled up.
it is boiled for three hours. 1t is then
dried in the open air, after which it is
fit for use. 1t is stated that intense
heat chars the surface, slowly and
without flame, but does not penetrate
to any extent.

Having bought my Furni-

the Spring and Summer trade
before the recent advance in
values, l can, and will, sell at
prices but slightly in advance
from those of last July, at
which time the bottom was
reached.
Now, 1 mean business! No
House in Northern Ohio shall
make lower prices on Furni-
ture and Crockery, and many
will not be able to make as
low.
1t is not necessary to EMU
merate articles on which spe-
cial bargains are offered. Ny
stock is complete, and every
article is a bargain at the
present prices. Don't do as
you have done before-wait

Thankful for your liberal
patronage in the past, l solicit

pectively. All this, which appears
complex and difficult on the paper,
will be readily understood when the
box can be used for illustration. The
time for solving the puzzle from the
beginning is from four to ten minutes
Any possible combination of the
numbers can, in the way we have ex-
planned, be merged into some of the
four combinations of the four central
blocks, and then solved by the formu
las given. This applies, of course, to
the final combinations of Is. IA, l3 and

been so trying to the nerves and tenn
pers of provincial friends.
There is story that the game was
invented by deaf mute at Hartford,

and it is therefore unpatented. Two

the season, not only in Columbus, but

NOBILITY.
nv ALICE GARy

True worth is in being, not seeming.
In doing each day that goes by.
Some little good-not In the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in blindness
And spite, of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing SO kingly IS kindness.
And nothing SO royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure,
We cannot do wrong and feel right;
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure.
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow.
The bush for the robin and wlen;
But always the path that Is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
'Tis not in the pages Of story
The heart OF its ills to beguile,
Though he who makes courtship to glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile.
For when from the heights he has won her.
Alas it is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor.
And nothing so loyal as love.
We cannot make bargains for blisses,
Nor catch them like fishes in nets.
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which 1t gets.
For good lieth not in pursuing.
Nor gaining of great nor of small,
But just in the doing and doing
As we would be done by. Is all.
Through envy. through malice. thro' hating
Against the world. early and late,
No jOt Of our courage abating,
Our part is to work and to wait.
And slight is the sting Of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth.
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.

A CLERGYMAN recently left Liver
pool in a steamer, and, beginning to
feel unconscious after leaving the
mouth of the river, sought the Cap
tain to learn if there was any danger.
The Captain, in response, led the cler-
gyman to tie forecastle, and told him
to listen to what was going on. The
clergyman was shocked on hearing
the sailors swearing vigorously, and
expressed his horror to the Captain.
The Captain merely remarked: do
you think these men would swear in
such a manner if there was any real
danger2' Whereupon the parson
seemed satisfied, and retired. A day
or two after, during a severe storm,
the Captain saw the clergyman pro-
ceeding with difficulty to the forecas-
tie, and on his return overheard him
exclaim: sThank heaven, they're
swearing yeti

THE VITAL SPARK.
An Attempt to Reproduce It-EX.
Perfmemts with the Bodice Of
Two M rdeferS.

NASHVILLE, Feb. 21.-A reporter
describing the attempt to resuscitate
the negroes hanged at Murfreesboro
on Friday last, says: After they had
been suspended for seventeen minutes
they were cut down, and DIR. Sieger,
of Nashville, and Drs. Byrne and
Murfee, Of this city, attempted the ex-
pertinent of resuscitation which was
proposed some days ago. They did
not begin until thirty minutes after
the men had been cut down. A num-
ber of physicians were present to wit
ness the experiment. After the CLOTH
ing had been taken of, the bodies
were wrapped in hot blankets, appli-
cations were made to their necks to
reduce the swelling, and an artificial
respiration brought aboutby the means
usually applied in cases of persons
who have been in the water for long
time. All this was preliminary to the
application of electricity. Batteries
were placed in juxtaposition to tho
spinal cord and different portions of
the brain. The effects of the applica-
tions were soon apparent. First came
nervous muscular twitchings in those
parts of the body with which tho bat
teries were placed in contact. The

until it reached over 1000 degrees.
The effect was immediate. The mus.
cular contractions increased. The
limbs twitched and shook like men

PREDEsTINATION.

An old-time Baptist preacher of this
city, who has retired from active Cos
pei dealing, but who still keeps q firm
eye on the faith, has just had little
experience with q colored man that
causes him to think very seriously.
Meeting the colored man the preacher
said: eDave, if you don't bring that
