ANTS AND THEIR SLAVES.

Peter Huber the son of the celebrated
observer of the manners and habits of
bees, while walking one day in field
near Geneva, saw on the ground an army
of reddish -colored ants on the march.
After marching for about quarter of all
hour, they halted before an ant-hill be-
longing to the small black ant, and a
desperate struggle took place.
A small number of blacks offered a
brave resistance; but the great majority
fled, carrying away their young. 1t was
lust these which were the cause of the
strife. The assailants, who had succeeded
in penetrating into the city, loaded them
selves, WIKI the yding. black progeny,
and soon left the unfortunate city in
desolation, and resumed the road to their
own habitation, whittier young Huber
astonished and almost breathless, fol-
lowed them But how was his astonish-
ment augmented when, at the threshold
of the red ants community, a small popu-
lation of black ants were the working
men. They build; they brought up the
young red ants; they administered the
affairs of the community, provided its
supplies Of food, and waited upon and
fed their young masters.
Huber made the experiment. He was
desirous of observing what would be the
result if the great red ants found them
selves without servants-whether they
would know how to supply their own
wants. He put few into a glass case,
and put some honey for them into q
corner, so they had nothing to do but tc
take it. They did not touch it; they
seemed to know nothing; they had be-
come SO grossly ignorant and indolen'
that they could no longer feed themselves
Some of them died from starvation, with
food before them.
To complete the experiment, Huber
then introduced into the case one blacl
ant. He went straight to the honey
and fed the great red ants. These ar
curious facts and cannot but set one t.
thinking.

CAUSE OF HEAT IN MINES. An opinion
has long prevailed upon the parts of
many persons that the extreme heat in
the lower levels of the Comstock mines,
of Nevada, is solely due to their
great depth. 1t is an established fact
that the heat existing there is so great
in places that the miners can work only
in ten and fifteen minute shifts, and then
In a state Of comparative nudity. A
scientist, who has given great deal Of
careful thought to the subject, claims
from the deductions he has made that
this heat is alone the result Of chemical
action, such as the presence of limestone,
which decomposes rapidly when attacked
by carbonic acid gas and the action of
water, qualities which arc ever present
in the mines. The decomposition causes
the generation and exudation Of intense
heat, which, being largely confined in
circumscribed space, greatly affects the
| comfort and convenience of the delivers
of the deep, whilst they are engaged in
dislodging the argentiferous ores. The
hot springs in Colorado and other States
acquire their heat through a similar
action, and not by reason of depth; ane
this fact goes far toward substantiatint
| tho +heorv advanced Mines of greater
depth have been worked in Europe with
out the inconvenience, of such intens,
heat being experienced, and indication
exist that mines in Old Mexico have beel
worked down far lower than those OF
the Comstock lode.-[N. Y. Minin

PIrrsBURG (Pa.), Feb. 2O.-A working
man named Michael Maroney met with
a horrible death at Robinson & Rea's
foundry, on the south side Of the city, at
late hour Saturday night. Maroney,
being cold, went into a large core-oven
to the foundry to get warm. While he
was standing in there several workmen
ran a truck with large core in it and
closed the doors of the oven and fired up.
In the early hours of the morning the
watchman, thinking that the core had
baked sufficiently, opened the doors of
the oven, and was Mortified to discover
the remains of Maroney lying on the
floor in half baked condition. Maroney
survived long enough to tell how he
happened to get into the oven, and said
that he had yelled and kicked on the side
to let the workmen know of his frightful
position, but the roar of the fire and the
noise in the boundaries drowned the
sounds. His clothes and large masses Of
baked Aesh dropped off his bones before
death ended his terrible agony.

WHAT OUR COUNTRY IS.

Of the growth Of the United States the
London Times commsSces al. editorial as
follows:
The details we publish this morning Of
the principal facts elected by last years
census of the United States confirm the
impression that the original summary Of
results produced. A nation has never
exhibited more magnificent picture of
material progress for ten years. Since
1870 more than eleven and half millions
have been added to the population, at
rate of 80 per cent increase. Except
China and Great Britain and Russia, no
government can count more subjects. In
the number of citizens moved by similar
impulses, and recognizing common ends,
the British Empire itself yields to the
great Republic. Fifty millions of human
beings n land like America more than
match the eighty-six millions of Euro
pean and Asiatc Russia. The three
hundred and twenty-five millions Of
China are not to be compared with them
as force among mankind. The growth
of population may be generally under
stood to imply the growth of wealth and
resources. As each census in a European
State indicates numerical advance, it
may for the most part be inferred that
fresh means of support have been made
available When, however, every sue
cessive census in the United States re-
veals an expansion by bounds and leaps,
faith in the instinct of human natnre not
to multiply beyond the power of exist
ence is scarcely needed to reassure anxi-
ETY.. The granary which is to feed the
new millions which have come, the mil
lions which are to follow, piles its stores
for the whole world to certify them.
Each added American citizen has not to
search for the livelihood Nature hides
somewhere or other for all its children.
He is born or imported with his inherit.

European populations, even the home
population of Great Britain, it must bt
acknowledged, have rather in their de
cennial polls look Of boys growing out
of new clothes. An elbow or an ankle il
sure to be seen betraying want Of pro
portion between past resources and pres
ent demands. On the other side of tn,
Atlantic there is o magazine Of clothe
warrnated to fit all ages and sizes. Gool
soil is crying out everywhere for its own
ers to come and possess it. They hav
not to conquer and annex. Though tn
domain be lying desolate, or be huntin

their own, for them to enter it and enio
it as soon as they please, the sooner tn
better. How fresh thousands and hur
dreds of thousands of acres are continue
