Funerals of Ants.

McCook says of the agricultural ants {:
" All species whose manners l have
closely observed are quite alike in their
mode of caring for their own dead, and
for the dry carcasses of aliens. The for
mer they appear to treat with some de-
gree of reverence, at least to the extent
OF giving them sort of sepulture with
out feeding upon them. The latter, af-
ter having exhausted the juices of the
body, they usually deposit together in
some spot removed from the nest" Elk
periments made on ants kept in confne-
ment showed that the desire to remove
dead companions was one Of the strongest
that they exhibited.
$50 great was the desire to get rid OF
the dead outside the nest, that the bear.
ers would climb up the smooth surface of
the g lass to the very top Of the Jar, labo-
rlously carrying with them dead ant.
This was severe work, which was rarely
undertaken except under the influence
OF this funeral enthusiasm Falls were
frequent, but patiently the little under
taker' would follow the impulse of her
instinct and try and try again. Finally
the fact of a necessity seemed to dawn
upon the ants (the jar being closed at the
top, so that they could not get OUT, and
portion Of the surface opposite from the
entrance to the galleries, and close up
against the glass, was used as burial
ground and sort of kitchen hidden,
where all the refuse Of the nest was de-
posted"

AMENICAN ANTIQUITIES.

1t seems probable that the explorations
Of Crystal mll cave in Pennsylvania, recent
ly made by Dr. LnidN the distinguished
comparative anotomi,t, and DR.. Porter, of
Lafayette college, will Icsu,, in establish
ing some evidence Of the existence OF an
American pr historic man, more or less
contemporary with the vcstges of distinct
ly fossil creations. This cave was found in
a limestone formation in aridgc separating
Cherry valley from the valley of the Po-
como, about five miles from the Delaware
water-gop. 1t has been explored to the
depth of about 100 feet, and the deposits
which compose the floor Of the cave were
carefully removed and examined, layer
after layer, as it is in these slowly ac-
cumuating and absolutely undsturbed
gatherings Of the fine dust and clay of
centuries that prehistoric remains are to he
looked for. Drs Lcidy and Porter found, in
addition to the inevitable coprolites,
the bones of many animals, some coeval
with our present race, others antecedent to
the conditions which were supposed to be
necessary to the existence Of man as he now
is. These veshgcs include, in addition to
distinct remains Of raCcoonS, skunks,
weasclS, beavers squirrels, porcupines,
woodchucks, foxes, wildcats, eks, deer,
bison, turtles, wild turkeys and many
snakes the bones also Of two extinct spe-
cies Of animals, gigantic beaver aud a
large peccary. In connection with these
were found bones which had been charred
and split TO get the marrow from them Gan
inialible proof that man had been there,
with many aboriginal relics--bone needles
and bodkins, showing that these people
clothed themselves in garments of skins,
and shells and fragments Of quartz used for
ornament. A flint spear head has also been
found.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-0ne of the most hor- rible crimes of butchery and bloodshed on record took place this morning in Forty eighth street Bohemian carpenter bat tered his wife's brains out with large car- penter's malIet and then cut his own throat with razor, siashed his face and body and afterward hung himself. About 10 o'clock this morning young German woman accom- panied by another woman entered the police station and asked that the sick wagon be sent to 330 East Forty-eighth street to take her husband to the hospital. t'We have no food nor money or means of any kind to procure 8 doctor,'' said the woman in fearful voice, "and we are starving for want of something to eat.'' She further stated that her hus- band, Wenzer Felix, carpenter, two months ago while at work on new building had fallen to the street and was severely injured. He was removed to the hospital, where he remained for couple of days until he WAS enabled to return to his home. Since that time he has been i'll and unable to work, and of course we have had no means of support.n Half an hour later wagon was sent and the driver knocked at the door. There was no response. He knocked louder and louder, but received no answer, so turning away he accosted Policeman Davis. The latter, plac- ing his shoulder to the door, forced 1t open Such sight as that which presented itsel.
