CHICAGO May % A. J. Stone, the son.
in-law of A. J. Smell, who is supposed to
have been murdered by W. b. Tascott,
stated that he did not believe the: body of
the unknown man taken from Lake Mich
igan near Milwaukee, was that of Tascott,
and that he placed no faith in the letter
found in floating bottle in the lake near
the same city. He said that if the discrip-
ton of the body resembled Tascott at al,
the authorities at Milwaukee would have
notified the authorities here, and they had
not done so. He said every clue that gave
any promise of leading to the capture of
Tascott was being followed up, and great
deal of correspondence was received every
day touching the location of the criminal.
Mr.. Stone also remarked that he did not
believe that Tascott had courage enough
to kill himself; and furthermore had not

it not been he was placed in close quarters.

The history of the efforts to treat catarrh

remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing

fever of excitement here over being sold
out to the Standard. Last summer the
producers and lease-holders of this field
went together, pooled their leases and re-
ceived in return certificates of stock, the
profits to be divided pro rata among
them. The company expected to market
their oil independent of the Stand

for it, but they have met with poor success
and good deal of dissatisfaction has arisen
among them The big holders of certifi-
Gates pooled their issues and sold out TO
the Standard. The little fish being in the

posed changes in the Mills tariff bill until

Ants That Kill Snakes and Build Boats.

Driver ants not only build boats, but
launch them, too; only these boats are
foru,ed of their own bodies. They are
called "drivers" because of their fero-
city. Nothing can stand before the
attacks of these little creatures. Large
pythons have been killed by them 10
a single night, while chickens, lizards
and other animals in Western Africa
flee from them in terror. To protect
themselves from the heat they erect
arches under which numerous armies
of them pass in safety. Sometimes
the arch is made of grass and earth
and gummed together by some secre
ton, and again it is formed by tne
bodies of the larger ants, which hold
themselves together by their strong
nippers while the workers pass under
them. At certain times OF the year
freshets overflow the country inha6it-
ed by the drivers, and it is then that
these ants 90 10 sea. The rain comes
suddenly, and the walls of their houses

of coming to the surface IN scattered
hundreds and being swept OIL to de-
struc,iou, out of the ruin rises a black
ball that rides safely on the water and
drifts away. AT the first warning OF
danger the little creatures rush together
and form solid body of ants, the

larger than common base ball, and III

Photographs of lightning.

The Royal Meteorological Society
are appealing to photographers, both
professional and amateur, to take ad
vantage of the present state of the
weather to obtain photographs of
lightning Last season they received
sixty impressions of lightning flashes,
taken in various parts of Europe an
America, but the information thus
gained, while most interesting, was
not sufficient for any trustworthy de-
ductions 10 be drawn from it. All
that can be confidently asserted is that
the popular idea of the form of
forked lightning is entirely erroneous.
The most typical forms are as follows:
Q) stream lightning, plain, broad,
rather smooth streak of light; (2) sim
uos ligh Inning, when the flash keeps in
one general direction, vut the line is
ssnuos, bending from side TO side in a
very irregular manner; (3) ramified
lightning, in which part of the flash
appears to branch off from the main
streak like the fibres from the root of
tree. (4) meandering lightning, in
which the flash appears to meander
about in the air without any definite
course, and form small irregular loops;
(5) beaded or chapletted lightning, in
which bright beads appear in general
white streak. In photographing light
ming, a rapid plate and ordinary rapid
lens, with full aperture, are left uncov-
cred for short time at night during a
thunderstorm. The focus is arranged
for distant object, and, if possible,
some point of landscape is included to
give the position of the horizon. If
this is not possible, then the top of the
picture is marked. A single lens Is
preferred to doublet, In order that
there may be no possibility of a second
image being propuced by reflection
between two portions of the lens.
for a somewhat similar reason it ia
recommended that the sensitive film
should he on paper instead of glass.
The Society will be very pleased if
copies of lightning photographs be
sent to them at 80 Great George Street,
Westminster, together with any
available particulars as to the direction
in which the camera was pointed, the
state of the weather, ard the like
