THE ANT-LION.
Its Astonishing Ssgacity in Obtaining
Food.

Food.
In Africa deep pts are often made by
human hunters to capture game, and
among the insects we find the ant-lion
(1fy7neleonJ adopting a similar ruse.
Its eggs are laid in sandy places, and
when the Young ant-lions appear they
have no wings, and are flat little crea-
lures with immense jaws. As soon as
born, the curious Larvae proceed to
work. Each young ant-lion selects a
soft place in the sand, and by turning
itself around and around, it traces an
exterior circle; and by continuing the
spiral motion, and gradually retreating
to the center. it marks out and forms a
cavity having spirals like those of a
snail shell. Next, these are smoothed
down by an ingenious process. If a
pebble rolls in. or is found in the slope,
the ant-lion places it upon its head,
and with 4 sudden jerk sends it far out
Of the pit But sometimes pebbles are
found that are too heavy to be thrown
out in this way, and then another plan
is adopted. The pebble is carefully
rolled upon the fiat back of the ant
lion, which starts up the incline WITH
its tail high in air, SO that the load is
kept upon a level, and finally deposited
upon the outside. If the pebble is

enormous Jaws open, and the ant
quickly disappears from sight forever.
Sometimes, instead of tumbling down
into the pit, the ant obtains a foothold
and almost escapes; but in such case
the ant-lion throws aside all conceal
ment, ruShes out. and shovels sand upon
its struggling victim. and by successive
jerks bombards it with such fusillade

He Drew the First Train.

William Wilson, of Fonda, bears the
honor Of having hauled the first train of
cars between Schenectady and Albany.
He drew it with team Of horses. When
the first locomotive was put into use on
this road he was employed, with other
Young men. in sodding the sides of the
entertainments along the line. He said
that the trains ran SO slow that he often
amused himself and provoked the en-
gineer by running across the track in
front of the engine with an armful of
sod and back again, while the train
was making its best time. He has lived
to see wonderful Improvements in rail
road locomotives and the manner Of
operating them. He can not recall the
exact day of the month when the first
train was run between Schenectady and
Albany, but he says it was either in the
latter part of July or the first of August,
1881. Ground for the road-bed was
broken on the 25th of July, 1S30.-Ut

Classification of States.

Kentucky used to be classified as a
Southern State. A classification under
Ghe head of ssthe Mississippi States, =
said TO be adopted in some modern
school Biographies, is not generally ac-
Gapted. It isa curious arrangement at
this late day which classes New York,
pennsylvania and New Jersey among
the Middle States and Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois as tthe West.n The group
ing proposed by the Census Office is
into North Atlantic, South Atlantic,
Northern Central, Southern Central and
Western States. Under this system
Kentucky is among The Southern Cen
kral States. By this arrangement the
Western States begin about the l94th
degree Of west longitude, Colorado be-
iag the easternmost of the Western
tates. The lire of the Allegheny or
Apelachian Mountains is the general
bride between the South Atlantic and
saze Southern Central States. The south
ogn boundary Of Pennsylvania divides
40 North Atlantic from the South At
lAntic States, and it's western boundary
is the line between North Atlantic and
Southern Central.
