How the Ugly Looking Beast Gets Its

How the Ugly Looking Beast Gets Its
Shiny Food.
1t is most uncanny-looklng creature, its
curious little head with small eyes and
ears and extraordinarily long snout ending
in diminutiye mouth. its great fore limbs
armed with enormous claws, which it carries
folded in upon IFS palms, and its hinge,
bushy tail giving it an odd appearance Of
being all out of proportion. This odd ap-
pearance, indeed, no doubt gave rise TO the
extraordinary stories that were told of it by
the earlier writers and travellers, such, Tor
example, as that it was IN the habit Of
climbing trees in search of its food, a
story which aroused the wrath OF the
late Charles Waterton, who attacked both
the story and its author with his
usual iitrceness. This author also strongly
objected to ''tbe remark that the long vlsage
of this most singular quadruped is out OF
proportion and unsightly," stating that he
considered 1t to be quite IN unison with
the rest of the body, and admirably adapted
to the support of life; adding, what
could the ant-bear do without Its tremen-
dous claws and cylinder-shaped snout, so
tough as to enable IL to perforate huge nests
OF ants, which, in certain districts of South
America, appear more like the roofs of Chi
nese temples than the work and habltations
of insignificant little insects"
The ant-eater's method OF obtaining Its
lOOu Is Sdlu 10 De Us lUllOWS. HAVING tOTu
open an ant-hill with its powerful claws, it
draws its enormous long, flexible tongue,
which is covered with q glutinous saliva,
over the masses of insects which rush out
in defense Of their home. with the result
that numbers of them adhere to it, and are
thus drawn into the animals mouth, and
so quickly is this operation repeated that
we are assured that the tongue Is put out
and drawn in again covered with insects
twice in a second. Quaint DR.. Brookes de-
scribes the process as follows: "He (the
ant-eater) lives upon ants, and when he has
found out one of their nests he opens the
upper part of it with his claws that he may
have room to put in his snout and tongue.
This is besmeared with Shiny liquor and
is soon covered with ants, which, when
he finds, he draws it into his mouth and
swallows them. He repeats this practice
as long as there are any remaining, or at
least as long as they will run into the same
snare. When he is hungry ugain he will
go in quest Of another nest" The tongue
is a wonderful organ, much longer than the
head, round. and capable of being pro-
jected 10 or Is inches. In appearance it is
very much like an enormous worm; when
at rest it is bent backward in the mouth,
or, as DR.. Brookes has it, "he is obliged
to bend part of it back when he keeps it
within his mouth. for it is not long enough
to hold it without this artifce." When the
animal at the Zoo is fed this curious tongue
Is most noticeable, sweeping round the
pan in which the food is contained in n
most extraordinary manner.-The Saturday
Review.

sudden death of Col. Levin Woolford,
which occurred at bis home 10 Princess

bis death. The morning papers gives the
following particulars:
Col. Levin Woolford. State tax com

as was bis weekly custom, TO spend Sun

sntlY with his family and friends who
visited him. His health seemed as good
as usual. Yesterday morning, after max
Ing his toilet he stepped into the yard,
aud there he was found by his son,
Roger, who had gone in search OF him to
summon him to breakfast. He was en-
tirely helpless, and speechless. he was
supported into the house and thence into
his bedroom Drs. Dale and Wainwright
were summoned and soon discovered that
he had been parslyzed, and that life could

tempted several times to speak, but could
not. and during the morning he lost Cen.
seriousness. Absent members of his fam
lily were summoned, and around the death
bed were gathered the entire family when
the end came. His funeral took place
this afternoon from st. Andrews Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, Of which he
was vestryman.
Col. Woolford was II years old. native
of Somerset county, and we'll known In
democratic political circles all over the
State.
At meeting of the Board of Public
Works to be held on Thursday the an
poiutment OF Tax Commissioner would
have been made, aud Col. Woolford. no
doubt reappointed. By his sudden death
the office has become vacant, aud the
Board at their next meeting will very
likely make the appointment. Among
those mentioned for the vacancy are Gen
Joseph b. Seth and ex-Comptroller j.
Frank Turner, both of Talbot comfy. 1t
is thought there will be a number of APP
plicants for the place.
