A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ANTS,

Professor Morse, in the February Popular Sci
ence Monthly, explains what has puzzled a great
many people-why ants build their homes as we
so often see them, right in the sidewalk between
the bricks or paving stones. where there is so
great chance Of being stepped on. The reason
is that it is the best place. That is the whole of
it; the advantages outweigh the disadvantages
This is proved by the fact that instead of being
exterminated, the ants thrive. But there is also
other evidence. The creatures want the warmth
of the sun-heated bricks or stones to hatch their
eggs, and, making their homes close under them,
they secure free of transportation the best of in
cubators. Besides this, the sidewalk gives them
a sure supply of food The human procession
that moves by all the while performs more or
less of the labor of the undiscriminating Jugger-
naut, and does not crush merely the occasional
ant 1t grinds flies, caterpillars, and many other
insects. All these the ants pull in and put into
their storehouses as food; and besides these there
is vast amount of crumbs, bits of fruit, grain
etc, dropped on the walk that the ants pick up
and carry off. 1t is enough to support them.
Evidently, therefore, they select their homes
where food is easiest to be obtained, and where
the conditions are best for raising their young.

peril, and by the loss of more or less life, but
probably not more than attends higher creatures
in their efforts to make a living. When we think
the ant is stupid, we generalize on short sup
ply of facts. Many of the foremost minds in
natural science have turned their attention lately
to study of the character, social conditions, and
habits of the ant. The result is the discovery
| that, if he only had the spare time, the ant has
far better field for criticizing than we for be-
lifting him. Except that the ant keeps slaves
he stands in the front rank in intelligence in this
nineteenth century, and we entertain the lively
hope that he may yet see the wisdom of emanci
patton learn the high moral significance of the
doctrine of equal rights, and turn from ant slav-
| cry to anti-slavery, as it were.
We regret that the great minds which find so
| much to admire in this diminutive creature have
not yet begun work upon his moral character.
Sir John Lubbock, it is true, has kept number
in bottles, but civilization by the bottle is not
! the true method We have tried that on the
Indian and it is failure We ought to do bet
ter by the ant than by the Indian, for certainly
his case has received far more attention and of
| higher intellectual order.-Hartford COurant.

FIRE-PRoOF PAPER AND INK.

Fire-proof paper and ink for writing or print
ing have long been sought for, and it is now said
that German inventors have been successful in
producing them. According to an industrial
newspaper of that country, paper possessing fire
proof qualities was made with chemically treated
asbestos fibre and ground or finely divided wood
fibre Ninety-fve parts of asbestos was used
with five parts of the wood fibre, and by aid of
glue, water, and borax, were made into pulp,
which yielded fine, smooth paper, which could
be used for writing purposes. 1t had the unusual
quality of sustaining the influence of a white
heat without injury Fire-proof printing and
writing inks were made by combining platinum
chloride, oil of lavender, and lamp-black and
varnish These ingredients produced printing
ink, and when a writing fluid was wanted, Chi
nese or India ink and gum arabic were added to
the mixture. Ten parts of the dry platinum
chloride twenty-five parts of the oil of lavender,
and thirty of varnish, are reported by local
writer to yield good printing ink OF this valu-
able kind when mixed with small quantity of
lamp-black and varnish. When the paper printed
with this compound is ignited, the platinum salt
is reduced to metallic state and becomes a
coating of brownish-black color. A free flowing
ink for writing on the fre-proof paper with an
ordinary metallic pen may be obtained, says the
same authority, by using five parts of the dry
chloride of platinum with fifteen parts of oil OF
lavender, fifteen parts of Chinese ink, and one
part of gum arabic adding thereto sixty -four parts
of water. When the paper is ignited, after being
written upon with this ink, the platinum ingre-
dent causes the writing to appear transparent,
and. as a consequence, it is claimed that such
writing as has become black or illegible will
become readily legible again during the process
of heating the paper.

as far as his money would carry him, he felt that
he would find some way of covering the re-
mainder of the distance.
Buoyed up by this hope, he quickly put on his
shoes, shouldered his luggage and set bravely
out on the road, which there was no chance of
his mistaking.
And what walk that was! The wind swept
the woods on either hand with dismal, wailing
sound, owls hooted mournfully in the branches,
and more than once Fred thought he detected
that crashing of the underbrush which wild
beasts make in their path. And then the little
trunk grew heavier and heavier, thereby causing
its owner to halt every few minutes, and be-
grudge the precious time wasted while he sat
upon it to recover breath.
81 think / can imagine nOw," he sighed, dur
ing one of these intervals, "why Mr.. Fanworth
was so anxious to have me bring all my things
with me at once"
Three or four times the weary lad felt that he
could not move another step, but the thought
that he was in some sense, atoning for his folly,
sustained him, and he finally reached the little
railroad-station just as day was dawning.
There was no ticket-office, and Fred was the
only passenger that boarded the train when it
came along.
He paid his fare to point within thirty miles
of home reserving enough funds in his pocket
book to express his trunk and buy something to
eat ON the way then, completely wearied out
he curled himself up in his seat, and slept
soundly until the conductor shouted
"Ten minutes for breakfast"
Having refreshed himself with a cup of coffee
and roll, Fred composed himself to sleep again
for, according to the programme he had mapped
out for himself, he intended to walk all might
long And he did, arriving home the following
morning an hour ahead of his trunk, foot-sore
dusty, tired, but so thoroughly cured of castle
building that he went out to his uncle's farm thu
next week, without having looked at single
advertisement.

THINGS TO MAKE A NOTE OF.

SPANISH CREAM.-Beat the yolks of three eggs
with half cup of granulated sugar; beat half
an ounce of isinglass in three pints of milk when
it is dissolved, and the milk risen to boiling
point stir them slowly into the yolks; boil once
more, and then stir in the frothed whites Pour
into moulds, and set away to cool. This is very
good the second day after it is made.
MYSTERIOUS PUDDING.-To make a delicious
pudding, follow this rule, but do not tell the
family of what the pudding is made until eaten:
One cup of molasses, one cup of suet chopped
fine one of raw-grated potato, one cup of raw
grated carrot, one cup of fruit either raisins or
English currants little salt and pinch OF soda
Steam for three hours; eat with sauce. The
grated potato makes the pudding light, and the
carrot helps to give it rich, brown color.
BAKED APPLE PUDDING.-SM apples well
stewed, quarter of pound of butter, half OF 1t
stirred into the apple while hot; add sugar to
taste; when cold add six eggs, well beaten, to the
apple Pound and sift crackers, butter your dish
and put a layer of crackers and layer of pre-
pared apple and thus until you have filled your
dish: let the crackers be the upper layer and put
the remainder of your butter in small bits upon
it. Bake half an hour.
MOTHERS BROWN ulco plAIo VI
corn meal, one pint of rye meal, one cup OF mo
lasses, two cups of sour milk, one teaspoontul OF
soda one quart of warm water, one teaspoontul
of salt. Bake three hours in moderate oven
LEMON JELLY.-Soak half box of gelatine
in a cup and half of warm water; when the
geIatine is dissolved, add cup of sugar, the juice
of three lemons and a cup and half of boiling
water; add the white of an egg, beaten light,
and the shell; let it come to boil, strain into
mold and set away to cool.
Dressing FOR SANDWICHEs-One half pound
of nice butter, two tablespoonful of mixed mus
tard, three tablespoonful of salad oil, little red
OF white pepper, little salt, yolk of one egg rub
the butter to q cream, add the other ingredients
and mix thoroughly; set away to cool; spread
the bread with this mixture and put in the ham,
chopped fine.
CHOCOLATE ICING.-Take three cupfuls of
white sugar; pour on it just enough water to
moisten it, let it boil till perfectly clear; beat
the whites of three eggs very light and add to 1t
three ounces of grated chocolate; then pour on
it the boiling sugar and beat until cold. 1t IS
much improved by adding two Jumps of citric
acid dissolved in teaspOOnful of water and
mixed with the sugar.
LEMON JELLY CAKE.-Take two cups of
sugar, one-half cup of butter, one cup OF milk,
three eggs, two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, one
teaspoonful of soda, three cups OF flour; mix,
| and bake in fine thin layers For the Jely,
crate the rnd of three small or two large lemons,
and add the juice of the same with one cap OF
sugar, one egg, one-half cup of water, one tea
snoonful of butter, one tablespoonful OF flour;
mix with little water, boil till it thickens then
Mace between the layers Of the cake. This is a
GREAT fayorite with us. 1t is better to make it a
week before needed.

GLIMPSE OF THE SPLENDID PAST.

Five hundred years before the birth of Christ
there was city in Italy called Sybaris. 1t was
magnificent place, and the wealth and luxury
of its inhabitants was so great that the name
Sybarite exists to this day as pseudonym of a
deyotee of sensual pleasure. 1t was at one time
so populous that it could send 100000 men
into the field vet its annals lost and It's great
men unknown. All the information we learn
about it is the fact of its greatness, and that Its
ruins are to- day under the bed of river in
southern ITALY, 1t seems there was quarrel
amongst the rulers of this mighty city, and the
disconnected Joined with their enemies, the Gro
tonites who succeeded in capturing Sybarls,
drove out it's inhabitants, and, to make its ruin
complete. changed the course of a river so that
it swept over the remains of the once mighty
municipality. To-day the ruins are covered by
a bed of slime and earth from sixteen to twenty
feet deep, and soon the work of bringing the re-
mains to light will be undertaken 1t is believ-
ed that the memorials of very distant past will
he brought to light equal to, if not exceeding
in interest those of Pompeii. We live after all
in very old world. Mighty nations fourished
and prosperous cities gathered wealth to them
selves long before history begun to keep its rec
ords. In these days of the marvellous applications
of science to our daily life, it is well to remember
the might of the past in order that we should
not become too conscious of the splendOr OF the
age we live in.-Demorest's Monthly for March.
