Their Love More Delicate aud beautiful
Than That ot "A Dog.
Every one is explicitly friendly or
hostile to thee, and they are like chill
dron in their power of discovering by
n rapid and sure instinct who likes
them aud who does not. II Is difficult
to win their affection and it is easy TO
forfeit what it is hard TO win. But
when givcn. their love- although less
domonstrutivc, is moro delicate and
beautiful than that Of dog. Who that
is on really intimate terms with n cat
has not watched its dismay at the
signs OF packing up and leaving homcP

MIGRATION or ANTS.
Remarkable circumstance with which
the IKpeditIons Arc Attended.

the Expeditions Are Attended.
The ant cities, as they ought TO be
called, Of Brazil. are OF such amazing
size that they have more the character
OF structures reared by human hands
than that Of monuments Of insect
industry and skill They arc con-
ical mounds Of clay, which their tiny
architects rear 20 the height of ten or
twelve feet; their circumference is
nine or ten feet a hard, yellow clay
forms the external coat; the inside Is
divided by number Of horizontal
floors or stories Of "A hard, black earth,
In thin plates, which some times shine
like Japan-waro.
These habitations are pcopled by
nyriads Of ants Of IA large size and II
brown color. They have the power
Of cxuding from their bodies IA yiscid
fluid, by which they moistcn the clay
10 the consistency III for making
nOOrs. Some species form covered
ways In this manner, aud tunnels or
avenues Of this description have been
found stretching for considerable
distance from one settlement 20 an
other and through these the ants are
enabled 10 make pretty long journeys
unseen.
They sometimes migrate, and thcir
expeditions are attended with truly
remarkable circumstances. In fact,
they resemble on "a small scale. tho in
roads Of Attillt and his million Of
mounted barbariaus into tho fruitful
and glowing plains Of Italy-lcavsng "A
parched desert in their wake. When
these insect Huns SGT out in such en-
terpriscs, they proceed right forward
in n straight line, just as the laden
bee flies TO It's hive, and they dcyOur

IL once happened, during one Of
these ant expeditions which was undcr-
taken near the city Of Rio dc Janciro
that n garden Obstructcd thcir limo

Irrigation in Wyoming.

Irrigation is carried out on an exten-
siyc scale in Wyoming Territory.
Something like 1900. 600 acres of land
have recently bcon reclaimed and rem
dcrcd Git for cultivation by means OF
ordinary bitches, and official reports
estimate that not less than 1000, 900
acres moro can be reclaimed in the
same way. It is also shown that not
less than 5000. 900 acres in addition
can be redeemed 10y extraordinary
mcaus-that is, 10y system OF storage.
This would give Wyoming about l2,-
