Ants With Human Habits.

1t has now been ascertained beyond a
doubt that there are ants which not only
have regular military organizations, but
that they wage systematic warfare, keen
slaves and carry on agricultural pursuits.
Nineteen species with these habits have
50 far been discovered. Among the
slaveholding ants there are individuals
which act as overseers and a second class
which work a part of the time only.-St.

One year not so very long, ago when the

Rio de Janeiro, Fred and l rented little

countries that the fever does not spread

abounds on the mountain range, only 60

for a few hours around midday, for it is
also known that there is less danger of in
lection when the suns rays are beating
back the vapors, than at night when the
miasmatic moisture rises. Nearly all the
American and European residents had
also left the city; the majority going across
the bay UP in the Orange Mountains to
Petropolis. others seeking the hills where
we were, Immediately back Of the city.

CLOSELY CONTESTED GAME.
Manager 0ilbert's Ultimatum to the
Oakland Club Has Benefit.
cial Effect.

In obedience to the ultimatum promul-
gated by Manager Gilbert, the Oakands
trotted onto the diamond yesterday after
noon attired in uniforms all of one pattern
and color, and as fnlfllment of their
promise TO play better bali they trotted off
with the winning end Of the best game of
the present series.
Though they played almost an errorless
game, the score was against them until the
last inning, when couple OF timely hits
brought In three runs and won the game.
The young men who play under the di-
rection of Captain Manage and
Treasurer RUDE Levy put up great game,
which, under ordinary circumstances,
would have brought them out the victors :;
and as 1t was, the game was theirs until
the very last half of the last inning. The
play was fast from beginning to end, and
of such nature as to call forth constant
applause from the well-filled benches of
the grand stand.
What proved TO be an amusing feature
Of the game was Galindo'S little exchange
OF civilities with Pitcher HorDer. Galindo
is young man who boasts of long line of
Spanish ancestors. and Is reputed to be the
happy posseSsor of many golden ducats.
He plays ball because he likes the game.
Just now, however. he is not on speaking
terms with himself and all because he
made himself an involuntary mark for
couple of Horner's inshoots. When Ga
Undo first faced the pitcher he wore
bland smile and sort of three Dagger
look Of determination that made Horner
just trifie nervous. AS consequences
the ball went wild and the batter stopped
it with his elbow. He looked at the pitcher
out of the corner OF his eye. but swallowed
his wrath and trotted down to first. ALI
went we'll until Galindo came u the bat
again in the seventh inning. Horner deliv-
cred an insho0t with an initial velocity of
several hundred feet per second, and the
descendant of Cortez received it between
the third and fourth ribs This was
too much. The Spaniard dropped his bat
and started toward the pitchers box with
the evident intention of frescolDg the
diamond with the red, warm blood of little
Jack Horner Something serious might
haye resulted had not the audience caught
the humOr of the situation and set up such
a laugh that the bellgerent batter was
shamed into his usual sound mental con-
ditiOD. When he had time to think it over
he became tired of his own society, and Is
now trying TO explain how he happened to
make six errors during the intervals when
he was not engaged in rubbing the bumps
on different parts of his anatomy.
Goldie's work at second is worthy of
mention, as are also Levy's batting and
fielding. Eube carried Off the batting hon.
