AN INTERESTING ANT.

Powers of Memory.


Powers of Memory.
In the chap ter of communities in his
last work Sir John lubbock repeats in
a pleasurable understandable way his
own researches with ants and bees.
With not less than one thousand species
of ants there are no two having the
same habits. We are just finding out
how long lived ants are. He has had
working ants seven years old and a
queen ant lived in one of his nests for
fifteen years. He is certain that the
ants of each community recognize each
other. Sir John divided one community
and kept them apart for a year and
nine months, at the end of which they
at once recognized each other, land
were perfectly friendly, while they at
tackled ants from different nest, a.
though of the same Species" Sir John
made his ants drunk with whisky and
left them to their friends. The tipsy
ones had nothing to say, bnt their
friends knew them and dragged them
off to their homes, where the besotted
ones were watched over until they were
sober. There were stranger ants
among the inebriates, and the commu-
nifty took them and pitched them into
the water. Thus it is evident that they
t'know their friends even when incapa-

DEPARTED GLORY.
A Formerly Great Mining Tow1
That Is Now Deserted
Where Thousands of Miners Once Dua
Out Fortunes There Are Now Only
= Few Chinese Making
Bare Living.


After the tourist on the Canadian
Pacific railroad has passed through tho
scenic wonders of the Rocky mountains
and the Selldrk range, says a Yale (B. c.
letter. and has hung for hours above
the precipices in the Fraser river canyon,
the train suddenly shoots out into level
space in the river valley and brings up
at station called Yale. At present
Yale is inhabited only by a handful Of
white men and several hundred Chinese
and Flathead Indians, whom the trav-
eler sees upon the station platform
with their baskets Of tempting fruit.
Yale is dull enough to-day, but some
thousands of people once lived in the
little place, for it was the greatest
placer gold washing field on the lower
Fraser and the center OF attraction in
British Columbia as long as it yielded
large quantities Of placer gold dust.
The train stops long enough to enable
the tourist to become enthusiastic over
the beautiful scenery that surrounds it.
East Of the town is a mountain several
thousand feet in. height, down whose
sides in rainy weather the loveliest OF
cascades foam and tumble till they
reach the river. In front is the swift
lowing Fraser, which here is calm and
placid in comparison with the roaring
stream the tourist saw a little earlier as
the Fraser tumbled down its rocky can.
yon to the level country. Looking
across the river, the tourist sees far to
the southwest Mount Hope, whose top,
nine thousand feet above the sea, is
covered with snow.
In the fifth and sixth decades of this
century, when several thousands of
miners were panning gold dust, Yale
saw its best days. After yielding for
years an average of fifteen dollars a
lay to each man, the placer mines gave
out and then came decadence. Several
years ago the few white men in the
town believed its old prosperity was to
return. The Queen mine was opened
in a neighboring mountain, and it was
thought that fortunes would be taken
from the gold lead discovered there
The prospect, however, did not prove to
be what it promised, and the mine was
given up. A little gold is still found
along the river banks and among the
sands near the shore. AS the train
leaves town, tourists often see a few
Chinese digging in the sand on the left
side of the river. They are satisfied
if they make an averageof two dollars
day. They monopolize the left shore,
but on the right bank, where the di-
lapidated town lies, is a German named
Edward Stout, who has been panning
gold dust there for several years. He
uses the cradle and quicksilver process,
and is well content if he secures an
average of fifteen dollars week. He
keeps bachelor hall, and is satisfied to
make living. Gold washing is pos
sible only during few months in the
yeac The Chinese work only from
July till November. At most other
periods of the year the water is too
high to admit OF digging in the sands
where gold is found

P1aids In History.

There are in existence to-day about
one hundred clan plaids, of which about
half are the Highland tartans. The
other half are modern variations pro-
duced by Lowland families for their
Identification, as certain ambitious per-
sons to-day buy up or think up fine
coat of arms. The plaid oftenest seen
on the streets to-day is the Gordon
plaid. This is the blue and green and
black plaid, with a single yellow bar.
1t must not be COMPOUNDED with the
blue and green and black with the
white bar, which is the Lombard plaid;
or the blue and green and black with
the double yellow bar, which is the
plaid of the Campbells of Breadelbane;
or the same plaid, with the single red
and double white bar, which makes up
the Colquhoun tartan. What risky
thing it was to be born at all in those
days when it might cost man his life
not to know the difference between two
bars of white and one bar of yellow in
the tartan of any stranger he might
meet on the wayside. The Gordon
plaid has famous history from back in
the almost legendary days of Malcolm
Ill, when Richard of Gordon slew a
monster in the Morse and got big
grant of land and a title for it.

A Remarkable Canal

The most remarkable canal in the
world is the one between Worsley and
st. Helens, in the north Of England. 1t
is sixteen miles long and underground
from one end to the other. In that Sec
ton of Great Britain the coal mines are
very extensive, more than half the
country being undermined. Many years
ago the managers of the duke of Bridge
waters estates thought that they could
save money by transporting the product
of the mines underground, therefore
the canal was constructed and the
rines connected and drained at the
same time. Ordinary canal boats are
used on this unique water way. the mo-
tive power being furnished by men.
The tunnel arch over the canal is pro-
vided with cross timbers, and the men
who do the work of propulsion lie on
their backs on the loads OF coal and
push with their feet against the wooden
supports of the roof. .....-..-...--1as. -

DINNER is AN OLD INSTITUTION.
It Has Always EnJoyed the Distinction OF
Being the Chief Meal.

| It Has Always EnJoyed the Distinction OF
Being the Chief Meal.
1t is believed by some that the word
dinner springs from a corruption of the
word s'dixheures," indicating the time
at which, in the old Norman days, this
| meal was taken. The mere idea, says
the Chicago Tribune, of having dinner at
the barbarous hour of ten o'clock in the
morning would in all probability send a
modern chef into fit, yet it was at this
early time that persons of quality, both
in England and France, partook of the
meal. Froissart mentions waiting up
on the duke of Lancaster at five o'clock
in the afternoon, after he had supped,
and during the reign of Francis I. and
Louis XII. of France fashionable peo-
pie dined at half past ten and supped at
the latest at six o'clock in the evening.
From a Northumberland household
book bearing date 1912 one learns that
the family rose at six o'clock, break
tasted at seven, dined at ten, supped at
four and shut the gates at nine p. 10.
Louis XIV. did not dine till twelve,
while his contemporaries, Cromwell and
Charles H., took the meal at one. In
100 the hour was advanced to two, and
in 1851 the duchess of Somerset's din
ner time was three. In 1850 Cowper
speaks of four o'clock as the then fash
ionable time. After the battle of
Waterloo six p. M. was the time at
which the beau monde took their sub
stantial meal, while at the present day
many of the nobility do not dine until
eight or nine.
The Romans in the time of Cicero
and Augustus took breakfast from three
to four in the morning, luncheon at
twelve or one, and at about o'clock
the coena or principal meal of the day,
corresponding with our dinner. A Ro-
man dinner at the house of wealthy
man consisted chiefly of three courses.
All sorts of stimulants to the appetite
were first served up and eggs were in
dispensable to the first course. Among
the various dishes we may instance the
guinea hen, pheasant, nightingale and
the thrush as birds most in repute. The
Roman gourmands held peacocks in
great estimation, especially their
tongues. Macrobius states that they
were first eaten by Hortensius. the
orator, and acquired such repute that
single peacock was sold at fifty denarii,
the denarius being equal to about seven
teen cents of our money.

tall, with'white wool in locks. and with
tufts upon the head and forehead. The
Lincolnshire sheep are more like those
OF Leicester, but heavier in the fleece,
soarser and more fitted for life in the

most intelligent faces of any sheep but
the refined South Downs. We noticed

the South Downs must win the palm.
Their short-clipped and delicate wool is
felted together like moss. The hand
sinks into it with difficulty. The form
is beautiful and rounded, and though
apparently so finely built, their weight
is great. The close yellow-gray fleece
fits over the head like a cap, disclosing
the face and nose, covered with short
gray hair-not wool The features are
extremely dainty and the movements of
the mouth as the sheep nibbles its
fragrant supper of trefoil and clover,
resemble those of some delicate foreign
rodent. Their heads are far prettier
than those of deer-almost as refined as
that of the gazelle. These sheep I'M

SMALL DAMAGES AWARDED.

The Jury Bring in a Verdict in the
 First ofthe Suits Against the Con- solidated Road Growing Out of the
 Lonsdale Accident.
 PROVIDENCE, R, I, May 17.-The trial of the case brought by James Hamilton against the Consolidated road to recover damages for the loss of the life of his daughter, Mary Hamilton, was concluded late this afternoon by the jury returning @ verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $350.
 Miss Hamilton was one of the unfortun- ate sleighing party which was run into at the railroad crossing at Lonsdale in Feb ruary last by locomotive on the defen- dsnt's road. The verdict was reached after several hours of deliberation on the party of the jury, six of whom, 1t is understood, were in favor of a verdict for the defen. dsnt on the ground of non- liability. The verdict was in the nature of compromise The suit was brought to recover $50, ,00C damages and is the first one tried in mum Der of actions brought to recover damages on account of the same cause. This case was considered the strongest one, as 1t wal alleged that Miss Hamilton did not know of the existence of the crossing, and thu verdict cannot be very encouraging to thu | other parties.
 The case has been one of the most ably conducted legal battles before the court 1T some time, and some nice legal points wer, | raised for the first time.

THE POOL ROOM ISSUE.

The Case Tried in the City Court
 Assistant City Attorney Matthew
 man Argues That Pool Selling is
 Gaming, and As Such Amenable
 Under the Present Statute - Judge BIYdenburgh, for the Accused, Argues That Such is Not the Case The Claims of the State Supported by a Number of Similar Cases-De- cision is Reserved.
 In the city court yesterday morning the cases against the employees of Mshoney's pool room, which was recently rsided and eight arrests made, were the cause of learned and lengthy arguments by Judge Blydenburgh, who appeared for the &C., cused, and by Assistant City Attorney Matthewmsn, in behalf of the state. Lon Myers, the manager of the room, was | accused of keeping a gaming house, while | the other seven were accused of gaming. Attorney BlydenbRfgh filed a demurrer to | the complaints and thus raised the aues- tion as to whether the pool room was & place resorted to as gaming house, and | therefore smenable to the statute. The question sll hung on whether the buying l of pools on horse races in the method used at these pool rooms was gaming or not. The complaints were the work of A Assis- tant City Attorney Matthewman, and were | carefully prepared, covering all possible \ violations of the law in six counts, the las t of which described the methods employ ed in Mahoney's pool room in buying and selling pools.
 Judge Blydenburg said that the buying of pools was not gaming and that even though a wrong exists it was not for the court to go beyond the strict interpreta- ton of the law and yield to public clsmor, | urged on only by men of i'll balanced minds who have excited public attention to what | they choose to call an evil, when there are l hundred other evils much worse sur
 rounding them. The court has not to dis
 pose of this case because someone thinks 1t
 is wrong, but according to a careful study | of the statutes.
 Judge Blydenburg said he had this criti- cism to make of Judge Cooley's decision
 and it was that the judge had fallen into
 that error which learned judges of thi.
 court had fallen into-the failure to dis
 tinguish between @ legal and a moral
 wrong.
 Judge Blydenburgh then went on tc
 show that pool selling upon horse racel
 had never been considered a violation oi
 any statute on the Connecticut books and
 was and had been practiced for years at
 Charter Oak park, which is an organization
 incorporated by the state, and by the Dan

A MIRACULOUS RESCUE.

Two Men Taken From the Jaws of Death, in a Heavy Sea, After Their Vessel Had Conc Down.
 GLOUCESTER, Mass. May 17.-One of the most miraculous rescues recorded by a Gloucester fisherman was reported to-day by Captain John McInnes, of schooner Edith McInnes, on her arrival this evening from Grand Banks. About o'clock this morning, while running under close -reefed sails twenty miles southeast of Cape Cod, he sighted some distance away 6 vessel fly ing signals of distress, laboriDg heavily, with the sea breaking over her. All sail was crowded on, but before the McInnes could reach the diesblsd craft she sank.
 One of the crew at the masthead sighted something in the water, and running close found 1t to be two men on the bottom of boat. The sea would wash them off when they would swim back and regain their hold. dory was launched with great difficulty when Captain McInnes with two more of the crew who volunteered to man her succeeded in rescuing the two men, who were nearly drowned. After being brought on board nourishmsnt was given them, and after 8 while they revived SO that they were able to tell their story.
 The lost vessel was the schooner La Martin, Captain Eoen Eaton with crew of three men, ninety y-three tons burden, be- longing in Deer Isle, Me, and owned by 8. D. Haskell of that place. She sailed Monday from Greens Landing for New York with a cargo of cut stone, consigned to Booth Brothers. After leaving had moderate thick weather until Tuesday evening when it commenced to blow heavily southeast.
 About midnight the vessel hove-to, mak- ing good weather until o'clock, when she was boarded by a sea and thrown down. Her cargo shifted and she became un- manageable. An attempt was made to right her by shifting the cargo, but the stone was 80 heavy this was impossible.
 When the McInnes was sighted colors vsre get, but the vessel suddenly lurched and went down, carrying one man. The rect of the crew jumped overheard. Af ter struggling in the water few minutes the boat came to the surface and they got on her bottom. The drowned seaman was Miriam Powers of Deer Isle, where he leaves 8 widow and two children.

 NEW YORK, May 17.-The senate investi- gating committee on immigration matters went to Ellis Island this morning. Sur geon General Wyman of the marine hos pital service explained to the committee what preparations had been made by the authorities to prevent the entrance of the cholera. The senators spent several hours in watching the working of the new immi- grafton law. While they were at the island $, 5,000 immigrants were landed and rseis- tered. It was the unanimous opinion that the law is an improvement on the old one. The senators afterwards went to the office of Dr. Senner, commissioner of immigra- ton.
 Dr. Senner took the stand and named some improvements that he thought could be made in his department. At the close of the examination Senator Chandler said he was satisfied that the employees and off cials were doing all in their power to exc cute the laws, but that more help was needed.
