TEE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

In view OF the fact that the Ha-
waiian Postal Savings Bank will be
In operation here before long. 1t may
be- OF Interest to examine into the
workings Of the system in other
countries, and having been furnished,
through the kindness of Dir. s. n.
Damon with the Eleventh Report of
the POstmaster-GeneraI of Japan for
1882, we lay before our readers brief
summary of the work done in that
country in their Postal Savings
Bank.
From this report 1t appears that
there was the sum of S65O,o6S IS de-
posted during the year which was an
increase of IS per cent over the pre-
eeding year. (The increase in 1881
was 1l.9 per cent? The system was
inaugurated in 1875, and from that
time to the close of 1881, the revenue
derived from the Savings Banks rose
from $50 So to $l4,65s. The interest
paid 0n deposits was changed in 1881
from PER cent, to per cent, and at
the same time the minimum amount
Of each deposit was changed from 8
gen 926 ceuts) so 10 gen ts7 cents.)
The average amount deposited by
each depositor was little over S12,
and the average amount Of each de-
pOsitOr was about SO so. The total
number of banks in op, ration at the
close of the year was 1851, and the
total number Of depositors was 5S,S67
who had an average of $40 10 to their
credit.
It may be noted here that immedi-
ately upon Japan joining the Postal
Union, they abolished the POst-Offices
Of their own on the whole Chinese
seaboarri, finding they were unable to
carry out the terms of the Conven-
ton VI the Universal Postal Union.

Curious Facts About Ants.

Sir John Lubbock makes the following
insects:
''Ants have the power of recognizing
friends, even when the latter have been
reduced to insensibility by intoxication,
or after long periods of separation, or
when reared from the pnpa state In the
nests of strangers; but this power of rec
ognltion is not affected, as has been sup
posed by some eminent naturalists, by
the use Of a sign or quasi password; it
is not personal or individual, and ia not
iue to the circumstance that each ant is
individually acquainted with every other
member of the ommunity-sometimcs
numbering from 100000 to 100000 indi-
viduals--to which it belongs. They have
some power of communicating their
thoughts to each other, of giving infor.
nation to one another, something ap-
preaching to language. If we ask our
| selves whether they are conscious beings,
| 1t Ii difficult to deny them the gift of
reason when we see them, often in the
| face of accidental conditions of which
they could have had no previous expe.
rience, excavatiDg chambers and tunnels,
making roads, guarding their home,
| gathering and storing food, nursing their
young, feeding and making use of do
| mestic animals, making slaves, recognize
ing friends, and manifesting aversion to
strangers and enemies, and, on the whole,
| there is good ground for the opinion that
their mental powers differ from those of
man not so much in kind as in degree.
Ants have the power of distinguishing
light and colors, and of discriminating
objects. but their perceptions of objects
and their sensation of light and color
must be very different from ours, since
some colors affect their eyes which are
imperceptible to ours. and the same may
be true of objects. 1t would appear
therefore, that the colors and proportions
of objects and the general aspect of ma
ture must present to them very different
appearance from what they do to man."
