The Arab shop is mere box in the

door is raised some distance higher than

the street to examine his wares.

Freezing Out the Ants.


The inhabitants of cold climates have
little idea of the fiercsness of the conflict
which has been carried on from time inn
memorial between man and the ant
tribe, and can hardly appreciate the ex-
traordinary capacity shown by these
tireless insects in their depredations
upon the human race. In the tropics no
satisfactory remedy has yet been de-
vised by which the balance of advantage,
always in favor of the ant as against
man, can be overcome, and the insignifi-
cant looking insect, by force of numbers,
industry and perseverance, is master Of
the situation. f4
Even in more temperate regions like
some parts of our southern states ants
are troublesome enemies. 1t is suggested
that ants may be frozen out of existence
by means of cask of the freezing MKT
ure used by engineers in excavating in
quicksands fixed over the entranceof the
nest, the other entrances being closed
with clay, with q tube placed in the
hole also well packed with clay. The
pressure from the head of liquid would,
it is claimed, be sufficient to drive the
freezing mixture down into the furthest
recesses of the ants galleries, which
would almost instantly become lined
with solid ice, or, at all events, would be
made SO cold that that n1io ant ant, however tena-
cious of life it might be, could long sur
vive the exposure.
These freezing mixtures are not very
expensive, and it is possible that the
progress of science has here achieved a
victory in the interest of man for which
so many generations have contended in
vain.-Garden and Forest.
