The Worlds Travel and Traffic.

Little does the world think what tre-
riendous capital is required to carry on
its travel, traffic and commerce. The
railroad net, woven all over the globe,
consists of 200, 900 miles Asia, Austria
liza and Africa can claim only the four.
teenth part, the other thirteen-four.
teenths being nearly equally divided be.
tween Europe and America. The roll.
ing stock in use over this railroad net
consists Of G6,000 locomotives, 100 900
passenger and palace cars. and 1900. 600
freight cars. The capital invested in all
the railways is estimated ut twenty mill
iards of dollars. The commerce on the
seas is carried on by 10000 steamers
and over 100000 sailing vessels. The
tonnage OF these vessels amounts to over
twenty million tons. Telegraphic com
munication is maintained by 50O,0
miles of wire, Of which about tive-eighths
fall to Europe, two-eighths to America,
and fully one-eighth to the submarine
telegraph system. There are 10000
stations, from which 110,000,000 dis
patches are sent annually, or an average
of over 100000 daily. According to
population, Switzerland does tine most
telegaphing, there being one dispatch
sent annually for every inhabitant. This
is undoubtedly due to the great annual
influx OF travellers and pleasure seekers.
Next come the Netherlands, and then
Great Britain. Russia comes last on
the list, as she ,'sa: only forty.tiye dis
patches per annum for every thousand
inhabitants. The Transmission Of letters
by mail amounts i'll round numbers to
about 200 millions. According 10 the
population OF the several countries, the
Americans write Ivy far the most letters;
next come the English; then Switzer-
land, Germany, the Netherlands, Den

Cnri0nS Works of Ants.

Ants are constructed with the "back -
bone in front, and the heart and other
internal organs on the opposite side are
put together upside down, rs we might
think. Their mouth is for biting and
swallowing food only, not for breathing
Their bite il so determined and lasting
that they are used in some countnr,
for conhning the edges OF wounds anu
cuts. Ants heads are presented to the
eat surface, which they grasp with the
uippers, when their bodies nre cut Oft,
leaving whole row Of them to hold tn"
flesh. They are cheaper than sticking
plaster in some countries.
As an illustration Of their ingenuity
and intelligence, it was stated that they
sometimes excayntc tunnels under rivers
of considerable depth and width, and
use the tunnels for Transporting sup
plies. They dig wells twenty feet deep
and foot in diameter for drinking.
water The harvesting ants plant seeds
on farms, which they cultivate with
great care and neatness, keeping every
weed down and harvesting the gram,
curing and storing it safely in weather
proof cavities III the soil. They also
organize into divisions with commanders,
each individual doing a certain kind ~
work. Some ants are smart enough foi
engineers, While Others only know
enough to DO aS they are told. They
cnn count and make correct estimates Of
the magnitude of IN undertaking, as
proved ny observers.

found them and undertook to romov,

but when twenty chrysolides werr

They have the power, too, Of knowing
members of their own communities
even after months absence. Stran-
gers are always driven of or killed.
rhey are very helpful to each other, and
show sympathy in case of accident or
sickness. Some families of ants build
arched roads covered by IN arch of clay
or mortar for protection against enc.
mics, and show great skill in the work,
which is under the supervision of trained
engineers, who order a rebuilding if the
work is not perfect. Some kinds Of ants
keep cows, build cow-yards, and milk
their COWS regularly, and don't thlow

The women's board of Trade NJ Chi

The principal business transacted on
the Ladies' Board of Trade at Chicago is
bartering for nickel's worth Of pea
nuts, knitting silk stockings of the old
gold and banana patterns, tearing to
pieces new dresses, not literally with the
fingers, but with the tongue, and tele-
phoning their dear fathers and brothers
across the way to learn if they'd better
venture deal this morning or wait till
some other morning With an enthus-
iasm worthy of Oscar Wilde they have
eschewed the uncouth terms of "bull |"
and "bear," and address each other by
the endearing names OF "long" and
short" The polite form is "Are you
short this morning ?" and not "HeIlo,
Shorty as the uninitiated might infer.
The scene presented on entering the

and having a jolly good time generally.
In the main room is desk, presided
over by gentleman and lady, who run

Comet Seeking.

The number of comet seekers is so
few, compared with the amplitude Of
the tracts of sky to be explored nightly,
that it is probable that many celestial
visitors escape detection. Several OBJ
servers may be simultaneously at work
upon one region, while larger areas may
be left entirely unexpIored. To prevent
such unintentional waste of time and
labor the Science Observer suggests o
mapping out Of the heavens and an al
lotment Of special tracts to particular
observers, who shall agree to explore
them nightly.
