of these stations, there are in various

The Ants and the Cyclone.

1t is stated that about century since
there appeared on the island of Grenads
numberless colonies of ants. No one
knew whence they came, but they SO
multiplied that they became fatal to the
sugar cane, and as that was the prin-
cipal industry the gravest results were
apprehended All expedients failed to
dislodge them, and the government, In
1878, offered a reward OF 800, 600 for any
Invention TO destroy them. In 1850 nature
came TO their relief in the way Of a terrible
cyclone and rainfall, which blew down
what cane was standing, drowned out the
ants, and a new prosperity followed

heed this notice Of the Board and to
cooperate with it in this work. Every
one should be interested in the health

town as the Board and should not COM
plain when the Board orders certain
things cleaned and disinfected, but
should rather help the Board and CO.
operate with it.

pea known by some as the Whippoor:
will pea. This has laid out in the field
all winter, and the woody substance has
decayed from it something like hemp.
You will discover by twisting some Of
it that it has great tention, equal 10
hemp, and will make strong rope or
bagging. Could be handled after rot
ting the wood from it like hemp, and
perhaps with the same machinery:
Large quantities could be gathered
from fields soWed Gown after harvest
of wheat and oats, thus enriching the
land, making a pea crop and after
Christmas the bark of the vines could
be utilized in making bagging and rope,
and perhaps paper also. | was turn
iny under The old vines and discovered
that the fiber gathered to my ploW-
stock taking a small portion and twist
ing it found that could not break 1t,
which caused me to fix my attention
on it thus far.
