ARentleman'onthe island Of ST. Croix
instituted several experiments withref.
erence to ascertaining the truth OF what
he had often been toldtof the ingenuity
and apparent reasonings of the ants,of
that beautiful island, Says the New
York Ledger.
Having Slain areentipede which had
been sent him by Q friend, he aa3dit'on
the windSw-sin within his 1Hafthkent,
where, though not . single Individual
of that .EdiSchieydus ace OF yertnfn had
been seen, TO his great qualification, in
the course Of q few hours, one solitary
ant suddenly made his 9ppeardnce
through u crevice in the casing, at
trasted probably by the 1odot of the
dead body.
. Shortly after, having surveyed the
premises, it disappeared, but speedily
returned with a host of companions, to
whom the discovery Of q prize had un-
Questionably been communicated; q
more careful survey of the magnitude
of the object was evideatly instituted.
The whole company then disappeared
simultaneously through the crack, but
ar army was put in requisition, for the
third appearance was a multitude.
Having mounted the carcass, exam.
ined infinitely its exact position and
satisfied themselves that IL was 1ctual-
1y bereft of life and that no danger
would be incurred from their premedi-
! tated operations, q new and unlocked
| for series Of labor was commenced,
bearing such a striking analogy to hu-
man reason, as manifested in what is
commonly called '.contrivance," that,
II there is no intelligence IN it-why,
| the neutrality-suspicious. have in reservation
an unexpaored Aefd Of observation.
Not being able to move the mass EN-.
tirery, they divided themselves into
| platoons and cut the body into portions
OF about half an inch in length, which
was effectually and skillfully done be-
tween a late hour In the afternoon and
the following night and each piece
transported 10 their citadel through
some contiguous aperture of sufficient
diameter to allow che loads to pass
When the observer arose at daylight
every part had ben carried away ex.
cept the head, which was really NOV
ing off toward the hole surrounded by
an immense concourse Of admiring
spectators, probably on the qui vive,
happy in the delightful anticipation Of
future feasts and r~evelings.
On further scrutiny lie found that the
decapitated head was mounted on the
backs Of about a dozen bearers who,
. like a Roman phalanx with a testudo
upon their shoulders, were marching Of
in orderly n toward the same
orifice through which all the rest had
disappeared.

SulphurouS Vapor in London.

No less an authority than the presi-
dent of the Institute of Civil Engineers
has declared that the sulphurous vapor
produced during the combustion of coal
is most beneficial to the inhabitants of
London, disagreeable as it undoubtedly
is.
AS many as $50 tons Of sulphur are
thrown into the air in winters day,
and the enormous amount of sulphurOus
acid generated from it deodoriZes and
disinfects the air, destroying disagree
able smells emanating from refuse heaps
and sewers and killing the disease germs
which find their way into the atmos-
phere.
There may be a good deal of truth in
this view, but there is undoubtedly an
other side to the question. 1t is an old
comparison that a doctor and his drugs
bear a relationship to the patient and
the disease like that Of a policeman to-
ward a householder attacked by a gar
roter. The policeman lays about with
his truncheon; sometimes he hits the
householder, sometimes the garrOter,
and the good or i'll which results from
his interference will depend upon which
party happens to get the most and the
heaviest blows.
This simile is admirably suited to sui
phurous acid in London fogs, for al
though it may be beneficial to the Lon
don householders by destroying mi
crobes it certainly frequently does them
harm by attacking their lungs and
bringing on bronchitis and asthma,
which sometimes prove rapidly fatal, to
say nothing of the minor discomforts of
a disagreeable taste, filthy smell, stuffed
nose, husky throat, smarting eyes and
Observation-Disclosures Lancet.

A B~ibliophile Indeed.

A lady left some very precious first
editions of n book in three volumes in a
hanson while she went into a shop-a
risky thing i'll itself to do. When she
came out of the shop she couldn't find
the hanson, which had been made to
move on by a policeman, and in despair
took another, and just saved the train
which she had to catch at Charing
Cross. After waiting for an hour and
a half the cabman thought there was
something queer going on and endeav-
ored to find his fare, without success of
course. Then he looked inside the cab,
saw the books aud some parcels, and
conveyed them all to Scotland Yard.
And acre comes the pith of the story.
The lady applied the following day for
her precious books and got them. 1t
was suggested that she should pay a
certain quite adequate sum as recon-
pense to the cabman. But the lady was
indignant. That sum, she averred, did
not in any degree represent the percent
age due on the enormous value of the
tones. They were worth something
stupendous. She mentioned what Quar-
itch valued them at. And quite cheer
fully she paid a sum that made a com
Portable nest egg for the cabman. She
also made the Scotland Yard official
understand something about books that
he hadn't a notion of befora.-Londou
