How Sure 1t Was.

Hank Yates was born horse trader.
His father and his mothers father were
horse traders, too, and spent almost as
much time riding over the Illinois prai-
ries to get or to make bargains IN horse
flesh as In attending to their corn and
pig raising on their farms Hank had
traded horses from the time he was ten
years Old when his grandfather bought
him Texas mustang from a nerd.
Hank snapped the mustang within
twenty-four hours for Kentucky colt,
which he traded to his father for
coveted mare, whose next colt he sold to
his grandfather at an advance of seven
ty-tive dollars over the price of the mus
tang.
Hank was only nineteen years old
when he begin his attentions to Lizzie
Dodd in the next county, and scarcely
twenty when he rode over on fine
young horse to ask her to marry him.
They We're sitting ont in front of the
house in the starlight, and Hank was
getting on we'll with what he had to say,
when he saw Lizzie's father critically
examining his horse hitched down at the
front gate.
IL think everything in the world Of
you, Lizzie. Hank was saying. That's
as sure as"
Just then he saw her father feeling Of
his horses feet and the instinct of the
horse trader mingled with the spirit Of
his wooing, and he sprang to his feet
and yelled, That's as sure as that
bay gelding of mine is worth forty dol
lars more than them little gray mares Of
yourn both put together"-Youth's

Driver Ants,

There are certain ants that show Won
derful intelligence, and the driver ants
not only build boats, but launch them,
too, only these boats are formed of their
own bodies. They are called drivers
because of their ferocity Nothing can
stand before the attacks of these little
creatures. Large pythons have been
killed by them in single night, while
chickens, lizards and other animals in
western Africa flee from them in terror
To protect themselves from the heat
they erect arches. under which numer-
GUS armies of them pass in safety. Some
times the arch is made of grass and
earth gumned together by some secre-
ton, and again it is formed by the
bodies of the larger ants, which hold
themselves together by their strong nip
pers. while the workers pass under them.
At certain times of the year treshets
overflow the country inhabited by the
drivers. and it is then that these ants
go to sen. The rain comes suddenly,
and the walls of their houses are broken
in by the flood. Int instead of coming to
the surface III scattered hundreds and
being swept of to destruction, out of the
ruins rises black ball that rides safely
on the water and drifts away. AT the
first warning Of danger the little crea-
lures run together and form a solid ball
of ants. the weaker in the center. Often
this ball is larger than common base
ball and in this way they float about
until they lodge against some tree, upon
the branches Of which they are soon safe
and sound. st. Nicholas

Automatic Delivery OF Letters.

An invention which is exciting great
deal of interest on the Continent, where
the fiat system of residence is so much
in vogue. is an automatic electric letter
and parcel deliverer. produced by resi-
dent of Geneva. As its name implies,
the apparatus is designed to distribute
automatically on each floor and to all
the tenants of house the letters or par
GELS which may be addressed to them
y large box situated on the ground floor
contains as many .appTtures as there are
floors or tenants in the house. When Il
letter or other object is introduced into
one Of these openings the box rises, and
i'll passing. distributes in each of the re-
ceptaCleS III the amteChamb Der of the person
addressed the articles intended for them
each tenant being in turn advised of the
arrival of the article by the ringing of
an electric bell.
The wor.;Iug of. the apparatus is ex
tremely simple, as the following few de-
tails will SHOW, and its cost is inSigniti-
cant: The object introduced into the
box on the ground floor effects, at the
top of the house, an electric contact,
which opens the valve of "a water tank.
The water fills a cylinder, which serves
as counterpoise and raises the letter
box which, while in the. act of passing
each private box, opens itself by an in
genious yet simple mechanical arrange
ment and deposits the respective con-
tents therein When the carrier box has
arrived at the top floor the cylinder
emptieS itself, and the box descends to
its place and is ready for another trip

EnrtlluILaikes.

Several shocks of earthquake which
have recently been felt in various quar-
tiers of the globe at about the time of the
new moon recall the interesting theory
that the earth is more frequently shaken
near the periods of new and full moon
than at other times. Lists of earth
quakes covering many years have been
prepared which seem to favor this theory.
The reason assigned is similar to that
by which we are able to account for the
greater height of the tides at new and
full moon.
When the moon and the sun are on the
same side of the earth, as is the case at
new moon. they unite the force of their
attractions in heaping up the waters Of
the sea- The same thing happens when
they are on opposite sides of the earth,
as at full moon, for then each, by at
tracing in an opposite direction, assists
the other in pulling out the ocean, so to
speak, as one might pull out the sides Of
a rubber ball.
According to the theory in question,
the same forces of the sun and moon
which raise the tides put a strain upon
he crust cf the earth which, by causing
the strata Of the rocks to slip and slide a
little, produces earthquakes.
Whel the moon Is at its quarters its
pull is at right angles to that of the sun,
and then, us is well known, the tides are
lowest. Then, too, it is argued, the
strain upon the crust Of the earth is least.
If this theory is true, how wonderfully
sensitive the apparently solid globe must
be to the impulses conveyed to it by the
attraction of bodies hundreds of thou
sands and millions of miles distant!-

The weight of testimony, thus far, in
regard to the various methods proposed
for rendering wood incombustible, or
nonalterable by heat, appears to be
against the claim that building encum-
bered with infammable substances can
pass through such a test uninjured. 1t
is known that the methods resorted to
for preserving wood against fire are prin
cipally two, viz, the injections of saline
solutions and the application of paint
or coating. The former has been found
practically ineffective, and has even been
pronounced by some as of dangerous
tendency in the case of wood of large
dimensions though the treatment may
be applicable to pieces of wood of small
size
1t is remarked that of all the various
substances which have been brought for
ward for this purpose, the concentrated
solution of phosphate of ammonia has
proved the most valuable, the use of this
substance, in fact. Notwithstanding its
high cost, possessing such peculiar adj
vantages as to have recommended its
employment in all cases where the mat
ter Of expense is not important.
In the majority Of cases coating with
a brush is the really practical solution Of
this question, and, according to Profess
sors Bondin and Denny, of Client, the
substance most suitable for use in this
manner is the cyanide of potassium and
asbestos paint.-New York Sun.
