Ants Us SURGEONS,

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their method
of fighting is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold on va;th wonderful grip
of the jaws, even after their legs have been
bitten off by other ants. Sometimes six or
eight ants ants will be clinging with Il death
grip to one another. making n peculiar
spectacle, some with !. leg gone and some
with half the body gor1e.- One singular
fact is that the grip of an ants jaw is re-
tanned even after the body has been biScsfs
off and nothing but the head remains.
This knowledge is possessed by a certain
tribe of Indians in Brazil, who put the
ante to worry peculiar use. When an In
dian gets Il cash cut in his hand, instead
of having his hand sewed together, us ply
sicians do in this country, he procures five
or six large large black ants, and holding
their heads near the cash they bring their
jaws together in biting the flesh, and thus
pull the two sides of the cash together
Then the Indian pinches off the bodies of
the ants and leaves their heads clinging to
the cash, which is is held together until it
is perfectly hcalcd.-New York Examiner.

Tho Annihilation of the AUX.

Everybody knows the history of the
great auk's determination. A single shell
of one of its eggs without the contents
was sold at auction for $500. And yet
this bird was found on Funk island, off
the Newfoundland coast, sixty years ago
in numbers that were simply countless.
But the people from the mainland used to
go over to the island in summer and kill
them by myriads to eat and fortheir feath-
ers. They were very appetizing roasted,
and were SO fat that they served for fuel
also, SO that half Il dozen great auks did to
cook u meal of their brethren for dinner
The result of this was that forty years
back the last Of these interesting fowls per.
ishetl, and there is no longer one of them
in existence. The Smithsonian has prac.
tically a corner on their bones. Awhile ago
the institution sent distinguished ostcol-
ogist, Professor Lucas, to Funk island for
the purpose, and he brought back nearly
barrelful of such remains. If you want d
skeleton now you will have to send to
Washington for it. and it will cost you
