THE WAYS OF THE ANT.

An Entertaining Consideration of Few
OF Her Peculiarities.
Any one who cares to Ego to the anti and
consider her ways" can hardly find more
entertaining occupation, especially when a
thriving colony of these busy little people
is inclosed in glass cases and seen through
magnifying glasses and powerful micro
scopes, as is the case in an "ant house" ar
ranged for the London horticultural ex-
hibition.
Perhaps the first thing that strikes an
outsider in connection with ants and their
habits after few moments observation is

to escape from it's cocoon, and are at hand
to render assistance by cutting through
the silk covering at the end where they
know the head should be- After the outer
covering is removed the new arrival still
requires assistance to free itself from a
second covering, after which its wings are
smoothed out by it's nurses, who keep a
watchful eye on it for several days before
its final departure from the nest.

LIS OWN WEIGHT ed without anv
outside assistance. The ring was then
weighed, and by this means it was conclu-
sively proved that the ant had lifted 1919
times its own weight. So tenacious is its
hold that if the weight were increased to
beyond it's strength it would allow it's head
to be pulled off sooner than relinquish its
grip.
To get notion of the domestic side of
the ants life the visitor is recommended to
an exhibit containing perhaps one queen
and her attendants. The latter, knowing
full we'll that the continuance of their little
colony depends upon their queen, vie with
one another in their attention to her COM
fort, assisting her in her toilet, feeding
her, and even carrying her; but their most
precious charge of all is the care of her
eggs in their various stages up to matur-
ity. AS fast as they are produced they are
carefully conveyed to place of safety and
kept at the right temperature by the I'M
erring instinct of the workers.
TO witness their solicitude, raise an
alarm by tapping the side Of the box; in a
moment all is life and hustle; each worker
makes for the nearest cocoon, picks it up
with it's strong jaws and scuttles off to q
place Of safety, returning again and again
for another precious load till all are out of
danger. The workers appear to know by
intuition when the perfect insect is ready

Action of Metals on India Rubber.
The Manufacturers Gazette reports that

Another attractive tea gown seen was
made of pink silk and heliotrope ribbon

with rich ecru lace. The lace fell from
the neck to the feet; but at the back, over
the bands of velvet which swathed the

now incorporated in the Russian govern
ment district of Kiev, is an extremely fer
tile country, but only sparsely populated.
The greater portion os this territory con-
sists OF vast, slightly undulated steppes,
which are watered by the Dneiper and its
numerous tributaries. The wealth of the
inhabitants consists of live stock, and par
ticularly sheep, of which enormous
hocks are kept. One of the largest
landowners is Mr.. Falz Fem, and
the number of sheep on his runs
is SO large that he can only form
an estimate by the number of dogs which
are required to guard them, and there are
generally 5000 Kept for that purpose. On
an average forty sheep are apportioned to
each dog; the total must. therefore. reach
the prodigious figure of 100000.
These sheep dogs have a long coat, which
very often gets matted. The color gener-
ally is kind of gray, formed bya mixture
of black and dingy white hair. The medium
height is twenty-eight inches, and their
tail is always short, frequently carried very
gayly, and only sparsely coated. Some
times there exists only quite rudimentary
trace of tail. The breed is highly es-
teemed in Russia, where it is known by
the name of the owtcher.
