Buckwheat Investigated.

 A French chemist. G.

The general yield buckwheat when cooked is about three times the weight of the flour used, showing that such flour will retain about 70 per cent. of water. Viewed strictly, buckvheat IS not a cereal, bur a species of weed highly de velOped. It is Asiatic in its origin, and was brought to Europe by the 'Saracens.

FIRE ANTS.
A Travellers Experience with a Colony of

A Travellers Experience with a Colony of
These Pusnacious Insects.
My camp was once invaded by fire
ants. 1t was good place, convenient
to wood and water, and l hated to
leave. disputed the right of occu-
pancy with them for three weeks, at
the end of which time l incontinently
surrendered and fed. During that
three weeks l dug them out, burned
them out and drowned them out, but
they didn't seem to mind it in the least.
They went on burrowing and building
and exploring the surrounding country,
and when my tent got full Of them, and
had been bitten in about three million
different places, | thought it time to
move. The bite Of the fire ant is like
the sting of the stinging lizard. 1t
hurts and makes a sore place. They
increase with a rapidity that is alarm
ing, and the more you try to eXtermin-
ate them the more numerous they be-
come. 1t used to be test Of courage
among the Comanche Indians for q
brave to thrust his barred arm into q
nest of fire ants and hold it there with
out fiinching, while his companions
went through the movements of a some
what complicated dance around his
tortured body. They don't do it any
more. Once near Pope's Crossing, on
the Pecos River, l reached a village of
fire ants and started to make detour
We discovered Indian signs of recent
date, and halted to investigate. A band
of Indians had camped on the edge of
the ant village, and a prisoner, who
afterward proved to be a bear hunter
named Goggin, was stripped, bound
hand and foot, and laid down among
the ant hills. You can imagine his hor-
rible sufferings We found his bones
and gave them decent burial. The
fire ant is pugnacious, and his mode Of
warfare is always aggressive. In the
aggregate, he will attack any living
thing, from an elephant down, kill him
by sheer force of numbers, and devour
all b ut the bones.-IeDaS Cor Chicago

To judge by the way the colleges

BRAZILIAN SCHOOLS.
The Subsidies Paid to Settlers by tho
Government of Brazil.

The school system is very meager,
but is improving. There are two thou
sand public schools in the empire for
a population of 100000 people, and
the State expends annually $4,000 600
for public instruction. A bill for COM
pulsory education has been introduced
into Parliament at nearly every session
by the Government during the last few
years, but has not yet become 4 law.
There is a taste and inclination for ed
ucation among the upper classes, but
nothing is ever done for the slaves in
this respect beyond the little attention
they receive from the priests.
There are several Institutions for
higher education; several schools of
medicine, of law civil engineering and
mining. A normal school for the edu-
cation of teachers, 4 conservatory of
music, school of fine arts, an institute
for the blind and another for the deaf
and dumb, several reformatory schools,
and also an Imperial Industrial School
founded by Dom Pedro upon the plan
of the Cooper Institute" of New
York, the suggestion for it being de-
rived from his visit to that place while
in the United State. There is also u
bureau of colonization and immigration
in the Department of Agriculture, and
as an inducement to settlers, Govern
ment offers them free subsistence and
shelter at the clearinghouse in
Rio De Janeiro during the time
that it is necessary for them to
wait. The settler is also giTen free
transportation with his baggage from
Rio to any part of the country and can
purchase land on credit, the first pay
ment to be made at the end of the sec
ond year and four payments during the
succeeding four years, with q discount
of twenty per cent. for cash. A dona-
ton of necessary implements and seeds
is given by the Agricultural Depart
ment for the first season and an allow
ance of twenty-five cents day for
each adult and ten cents for each child
