It is curious fact that the ants common to this country will commit suicide when death seems inevitable. A few days ago the experiment was tried of placing several ants inside an iron hoop. three feet in diameter, that had been heated and laid on the ground. After running wildly across the space several times, they made a deliberate circuit, as close to the hoop as the heat would allow, and finding no way of escape curled up and were dead in few seconds, having evident ly bitten themselves. The experiment was repeated several times, each time with the same result In this pecu- liarity they resemble the scorpion, which will always kill itself when closely pursued or tortured.

Still Another Railroad.

Although an effort at secrecy has, perhaps, been attempted, it leaks out that there is a surveying party in the field attempting to locate a railroad route from Prescott to Big Bug and the rich mines on the east side Of the Bradshaws. Such line will tap the Senator mine, the Copper Basin prop erty lately owned by c. c. Bean, the Boggs, Blackberry and other we'll known leads which have, during the past twelve months, passed under con trol of Phelps, Dodge < Co.,, the we'll known New York bankers These gentlemen are anxious for railroad.
 Representative of the great Copper Queen, Bisbee, are also said to be out in the mountains watching this sur vey, and appear to be personally inter- ested in pushing the scheme through.
 There is fine showing for enor- nous ore outputs in the districts thus likely to be opened up. The Boggs mine has a 300-foot shaft and the Blackberry one of 200 feet. Reports of large smelter and increased mine development begin to grow numerous and more definite
 The line will be about p miles long, running southeast from Pres colt. It is said that it could be swung around the Black canon hills and led by practicable grade to the Agua Fria, where the building to Phe- nix would be an easy matter. With the northern and the proposed north and south railroad, this projected by third parties, independent of the two rivals who have thus far been maneu- vering for occupation of this much desired country, our chances for in- creased transportation facilities can not surely be diminished, to say the least.-Phenix Herald.

A Brave Soldier,

Of bluff old Gilman Marston, who died in New Hampshire, these stories are told: He was badly wounded ir the arm at Bull Run, but refused tc have the member amputated, though the surgeons told him his life depended upon that operation. He insisted upon being placed upon his horse, and was led to the front amid cheers from the boys of his regiment. He once re fused to allow his troops to board ar overloaded transport because he had brought these men from New Hamp to fight, not to be drowned The or ders of tyrannical superior to build a guard house without so much as a crack in it he obeyed literally, solid logs being so used that there was not even a door to enter by. On one occa sion he coolly walked along a parapet under a terrible fire of shot and shell that he might inspire a wavering brig ade of his own reinsurance. ."-Ex, change.

To Protect Metal.

To protect metal from oxidation, pol ished iron or steel, for instance, it i: requisite to exclude air and moisture from the actual metallic surface. There fore polished tools are usually kept ir wrappings of oilcloth and brown paper and thus protected they will preserve g spotless face for an unlimited time When these metals come to be oi necessity exposed in being converted tc use it is necessary to protect them by means of some permanent dressing, and boiled linseed oil forms a lasting cover ing, as it dries on, is one of the best preservatives, if not the best. But il order to give it a body it should be thickened by the addition of some pig ment, and the very best, because the most congenial of pigments, is the ground oxide of the same metal, CT in plain words, rusted iron reduced to an impalpable powder for the dressing o1 iron or steel, which thus forms the pig, ment of oxide paint.
