Ants as Miners.

1t is said by experts in the west that prob
ably the most laborious as well as the most
regular mining for gem is done by the ants
in Arizona and Colorado. Either because
the ants want the pebbles asian outer cover
ing for their hills, or because they object to
them inside, they frequently make about
their dwellings a glirtering spread Of stones
Of all Sorts dmong them amethysts, topaaes
and other valuable jewels. People in the
neighborhoods where such ant works are car
ried on take the hint very often and, collect
ing the stones, send them 70 the east, especi-
ally to New York city, where they are often
sold at good prices. New York Commercial

Brigados IL q Snowfall Fight.

Meeting with one of the followers OF
Gen. Lee yesterday, and while watching
tho little college bGys SNOWFALL the pas
scrs, we asl; i: lie ever SAW anything like
il. The Old soldier said:
Il was in the Arnly of Northern Vir-
ginia. You mar not believe it, but those
that We're ut Gu;nra's station, near Fred
eric&sburg, will know that l tell the
truth when I Say I have seen 10000
suowballs in the air, ut one time. We
were in camp ut Ciuinea's, station, south
of Fredericksburg, in the winter OF 1868.
4 great many had built little huts to
keep them warm, but the majority de-
pended Oh log fires to keep them from
frcazing There came Oh snow storm,
and it was not many hours before the
earth was covered foot deep. The
poor boys would hug the fire and wish
they were back ut home. Occasionally
a song would break the monotony while
the snow was falling thick and fast.
Next morning the boys, who had only
snatched a few hours sleep, and were
ready for anything, even to marching
up to the mouth of O ten-inch Column
bad, commenced snowballing. It first
started in Company A. Second Georgia
Regiment, who turned loose on the
Cherokee Brown rifemen.
''The fight with snowballs was very
desperate, and each one who engaged In
it fought with the same vigor that he
fought the Yankers. One Of the two
companies surrendered and then joined
the victorious company, and the two at-
tackled the next company. This cap
turcd, the balance of the regiment was
attack kcd and captured. Then the Sc
cond Georgia attacked the Fifteenth
Georgia, which they captured, and with
this additional force the Seyenteeth and
Twentieth had to sllccumb. These four
regiments next attacked Gen. Ander-
sons BRIGADE with snowballs, and des-.
pcntn fight cnsued. The Seventh and
Eighth Georgia had never been known
to lower their flag to the enemy, but
they had to lay down their arms to the
snowballers. They were at last con-
quered, and joined with Toomb's brig
ade, who started the battle. They next
tackled two more brigades of Gen. Long
streets corps, and the fight went on un-'
til the whole Army of Northern Virginia
was more or less engaged. Some OF the
parties engaged did not get to their
camps for two days. ."-Athens (Gd.,) Ban

New Chemical Discoveries.

It will be long time before the far
mer finds himself supplantcd by the
chemical laboratory in the production
of such commodities as sugar, tea, al o.
hol, drugs and dye stu!Ts, though san
guine chemists tell us that the recent TIL
umphs of their len Indicate the
probability that these and other articles
will some day be protitably produced
from purely inorganic materials. Syn
thetic chemistry, or the forming OF com
pounds by recombiuations OF chemical
elements, is making steady progress, and
has already ccted agriculture, says the
London Tit Bits.
Attention was recently called to the fact
/ that the cultivation Of madder has been
almost destroyed by the chemica! dis
covcrr that its identical coloring matter
CHI he chcaply procured from coal tar.
; The production Of indigo is also thEea>-
cred b. III artificial production which
the chemists have discovered. y while
aro L. was found the cinchona tree could
be pro.;,aLly planted in India, and fine
new field of industry WIS believed TO
have opened for the farmers OF that
country.
Scores OF chemists, however, have been
at work apon the synthesis of quininc,
and their researches have advan ed SO
far that the prediction is now confident
ly made that the manufacture of the
principle Of quinine will soon be u ON
mercial success, and that cinchona
planting will become q thing of the
past. These CONNER ial reprodu :tions
of the valuable principles inherent In
natural products arc often easier to han
die and utilize than the products from
which they have hitherto been derived,
and thus the tendcn"y Of manufactures
is to substitute artificial for natural
sources of supply.
The problem of sugar making from
inorgani'' materials has engaged some
chemists for number of years. The
svnthcsis of glucose by Fischer and Tafel
is said to promise an ample supply of
this commodity without the. aid of
grapes or star. b. Two years ago some
German chemists announced that they
had produced saccharo.e, the equivalent
of cane sugar. by passing an eie trio
current through mixture OF starch, sui
phuric acid and water. Nothing has
vet been heard of the CONNER ial value
OF this new product, and there is no rea-
son to think it will prove dangerous
rival to the sweets we derive from the
cane and the beet.
Some sugar growers, however, have
been prophesying for years that some
thing would happen to ruin the sugar
industry, and their alarm receives a
fresh impetus at every new discovery
like that of Remscn's saccharine, an e1-
ceedingly sweet article produced from
coal tar. The day may come when pro-
cesses Of sugar making by the use of in
organic materials will seriously affect
the sugar planter, but there is no reason
as yet to believe that his industry will
soon DC imperiled.

The Lord and the Nimble Gossoon

Here is a scene which I witnessed,
SAYS writer in the Brooklyn Citizen,
when I WAS boy, in Phenix Park,
Dublin. There was a grand review,
and Lord Cardigan and his dragons
were there. In those days the old
musket known as Brown Bess was in
use, and it used to kick SO that it was o
very common practice for the soldiers at
u review not to fire. They pretended
to lead, but instead Of doing SO, dropped
tic cartridges Oh the grass. After the
review WAS over the young fellows went
round and gathered up the cartridges.
On Ito d..T l refer to the review was
partly over, and Lord Cardigan was
walking up and down, lashing his boot
with riding whip. The brother of the
old lady you have just seen was then
staiwart young chap, and he was hunt
ing for cartridges. Walking along with
hi. head down, looking for the cartridges,
he went unwittirgly in the direction
from which Lord Cardigan Was approach
ing. He saw cartridge on the grass.
At the same moment Lord Cardigan
espicd it, made quick step toward 1t,
anu picked it up with his left land just
as the young fellow was preparing to
grab it. Lord Cardigan smiled. The
boy was somewhat taken ahack, but
when Lord Cardigan held out the cart
ridge toward him lis countcnauce
Frightened, and he reached ont his hand
TO tal:n it. At that moment Lord Car
digan brought his whip down upon the
hand Of the boy, who doubled himself
mp and howled with pain. Lord Cardi-
gun passed on. Vengeance was burn
ing in the boys soul, and, quickly
turning, he raised his foot and admins
tered Il terrific kick to his lordship.
Utterly astonished, Lord Cardigan
wheeled round, but the boy was dozen
yards away, with his thumb to his nose.
His lorlship started in pursuit, but the
boy WIS ready, and yelling out, "who
stole The ladyl" he started on gallop.
Lord Cardigan called o dragoon and
babe him follow and capture the often
der. The dragoon put spurs to his
horse, but the boy nimbIy scaled
fence, AID, before disappearing from
view, again PLACED his thumb to his
nose and twirled his fingers insu!tingly
at the dragoon as he drew rein at the
fence

Ducks in a Cyclone Pit.

Captain Ingraham is well known cit
izen of q thriving little town on the
Huntsville branch of the Birmingham
Mineral. Conductor Smith, of the Vii
lage Springs accommodation, tells in the
Birmingham, Ala, Ne,cs the following
story on the captain:
The captain has deep cyclone pit as
O. place of refuge in time of dangerous
storms. The pit has d trap door which
opens when touched, and closes Itself:
Three weeks ago the captain purchased
seven ducks and two chickens and placed
them in his yard. The next day they
were nowhere to be found. A careful
search for the missing fowls failed to
give any clcw as to their whereabouts,
and, thinking they had been stolen,
nothing more WIS thought about the
matter.
Just nineteen days after the fowls dis
appeared the captain had occasion to
open his cyclone pit. The first thing
that met his gaxe we're the seven ducks
and two hens. They hal stepped on the
trap door and had benn dumped into the
pit, the door closing behind them:
The wonderful fact OF it is that al
though they had been in the pit nine
teen days without fool or water they
were alive. After the fowls we're re-
moved from the pit it was noticed that
they walked very a"kwarlly. A careful
examination reverted the fact that they
were all as blind lis bats.

suitable shelter about |, 900 yards distant
from them. L have killed them at dis
tancc of a milo. Hunting in this way
we had to be very particular and watch
the herd closely. Like herd of cattle,
the bison are always on the 60 and are
apt to walk out of rifle range in short
time. In moving, however, they always
have o leader, and the trick was to kill
any one that started to lead the others
off. BY thus killing the leaders we
could often shoot for an hour from be-
hind one clump Of grass. When they
had moved out of range the skinners
would come up, cut the hide in the ordi-
nary way for skinning, tie the animals
head to stake, hitch O team of horses
to the hide and jerk it off. No one will
ever know what immense numbers of
bison were killed by these hide hunters,
but to my certain knowledge 5000, 900
hides were shipped from the banks OF
the Frenchman River in one winter.
The hide hunters, by system of fires,
kept the bison from the streams until
many of them perished and thousands
OF others were easily killed. At the
close of that winter O man could go
along the banks of the Frenchman for
fifty miles by simply jumping from the
carcass of one bison to that of another.
Considering facts of this kind, it is not
surprising that small tame herd and q
few old circus animals represent the
great herds which, less than quarter Of
a century ago, blackened miles of prai.
ries as thunder cloud darkens the sky"
