The most formidable of the insect pests
that affect the jewellers of the West
African coast is the driver" ants.
These insects move in vast armies of
several millions, marching in dense
column two feet in width, at uniform
pace, and in straight line.
If native hut lies in their path, and
the inmates fail to prevent the ants from
gaining the threshold, the hut must be
vacated till the long line has passed
through and consumed everything eata-
BILE within the building.
The author of s.Glimpses of Feverland"
says that the only ching which will stop
the drivers is large fire directly in
their line of march. A native, when he
discovers in time that the ants are march
ing towards his hut, kindle5 fire in
front of the advancing column. 1t turns
neither to the right nor to the left, but
plunges into the flames, for every ant
seems impelled to go forward, no matter
at what cost.
After tie drivers have walked into
the fire for an hour or two, and several
hundred thousand have been consumed,
their sturdy stoicism wcakens. They
defect their line to the extent of a few
feet, and, passing the fire, set out on a
fresh path of destruction, which leads
them clear of the hut they had threat.

The FRS, Friction Matches.

The first really practicable friction
matches were made by an English
apothecary named Walker in 1927. He
coated splnts of cardboard with sui
phur and tipped them with mixture
Of sulphate OF antiinony, chlorate OF
potash and gum. Each box, holding
eighty -four matches and sold for one
shilling, contained also a folded piece
of glass paper which was to be pressed
together while the match was drawn
through it.
Three years later another ingenious
person named Jones. in London, pat
ented the idea of making small roll
of paper, soaked with chlorate OF pot
ash and sugar at one end, with thin
glass globule filed with strong sui
phuric acid attached at the same point.
When the sulphuric acid was liberated
by pinching the globule it acted upon
the chlorate of potash and sugar so as
to produce fire. Washington Star.

A woman of ordinary intelligence
ought to know without being told that
arsenical toilet preparations are danger
Gus to the health, and yet not week
passes that am not in receipt of letters,
most of them showing thought and abil-
ity, asking me to recommend some cos
metic for the elimination of pimples, and
requesting to be told if arsenic is as safe
for an internal medicine as it is for a
complexion wash. These correspondents
know that arsenic is "a deadly poison, and
vet they talk about its use as if 1t were
the simplest and safest drug in the world.
Arsenical doses will put an end to PIN
pies, and, what is more, an end to the
life of the person using them.-Eleanor
Kirk in Atlanta Constitution.

When Mr.. Greeley lived at Chappaqua
he wrote his celebrated book on farming,
and insisted that his friend Jones should
purchase a farm adjacent to his own,
When he had ceased picturing the de
lights ana advantages of such a resi-.
dence, Mr.. Jones asked him what he had
raised that year
.Well," said Mr.. Greeley, Il had "A
good crop of hay"
"That is encouraging, said MIR. Jones.
Il suppose you realized profit from 1T.
''Not a great profit, was the answer.
"You see had the hay cured and got it
into the barn all right before the RAIN
came, but that did not save it.
"How was that?
"There wasn't any roof on the barn!

new mill for the manufacture OF
paper from moss has been recently es-
tablished in Sweden. Paper of different
thickness and pasteboard made of it have
already been shown, the latter even IN
sheets three-quarters of an inch thick.
1t is as hard as wood and can be easily
painted and polished. 1t has all the good
qualities, but none of the defects, OF
wood. The pasteboard can be used for
door and window frames, architectural
ornaments and all kinds of furniture.
The ceiling of the assembly chamber ut
Albany, N. Y, is made of papier-mache.
1t is a model of of its kind, and appears
SO ike marble as to deceive the most ex-
pert eye. The latest idea is to use paper
instead of wood for lead pencils, by using
a patent preparation by which 1T can be
cut as easily as the softest wood. st.

Matthew Arnold, next to Whistler,

of his time, After. his return to Lon
don from his first lecturing tour in this
country, he visited old Mrs Proctor,
widow of the poet Barry Cornwall
and mother of Adelaide Proctor. Mrs.
Proctor, who was then eighty years
old. in giving Mr.. Arnold cup of tea,
asked him, And what did they say

did not fit me-" Well, now" said

Danger in Turning Gus Low.

many persons have of allowing one
bracket to burn dimly all night long
while they are asleep. If the gas is to
be kept burning at all, it should for
safety's sake be kept blazing fairly high;

faint blue spark the least diminution in
pressure at the works will cause this to
go out, and when the pressure is re-
newed the gas, of course, escapes stead
ily into the room. to the possible injury
of all its inmates. A night lamp should
be used if light is necessary, or fair
blaze SO shaded as not to fall upon the
faces of sleepers. Journal.
