Some curious honey-making ants exist in
Western Australia inhabiting little hollows
in the sand of the scrub-covered land In
each OF these cells or caves several large fe-
males OF the species dwell together, in seem
ing harmony. They never venture from home
J to collect nectar, but leave that duty entirely
, to the workers. The latter fetch supplies and
hand them over to the queens, who store the
substance away in large oval-shaped bags,
half an inch long The honey is said to be
derived from flowers. In commenting on this
report, communicated to Insect Life by q cor
respondent, the editor OF that publication
speaks of American S11apiac of mt hat 10
very similar. Some of the workers have
their abdomenS distended to the size of cur
rants ana filled with honey. These honey
bearers are found cltng1ng to the roofs of the
little cavernS, few inches under the ground
They act simply as receptacles for storing
away OF the sweet substance, which is col
Iected by active workers from the eXudations
or Kind OF gall In time of famine the
honey bearer throws up the honey, drop by
drop, and it is transferred to the stomachs Of
the hungry individuals in waiting
There is billy goat in East New York that
for long time has been terror to all the
street car drivers in his neighborhood His
fayorite amusement was to get on the track
before the cars and threaten the horses with
his horns. bringing them to a standstill
When the driver got down to drive him away
he would run off, but no sooner had the jehu
resumed his place on the car than Billy was
on the track again, resumng his threatening
demonstrations at the horses. 1t is said that
every driver on the line carried a cargo of
stones for the benefit of that goat and that
the animals body bore many a mark testify
ing to the accuracy of their aim. But Billy
tried his game once too often. The other
day he saw trolly car coming down the street
and not distinguishing between it and an Ordi-
nary street car, he planted himself in the
track to stop it, On came the car Billy
shook his horns at il in his most ferOciouS
manner. The motorman rang his gong and
shouted at the goat but Billy was not to be
moved The car did not stop to the goat s
| great amazement, and he does not feel So well
now as he did before. One of his nagnitcent
! horns is broken off, and he is otherwise Grip
| pied and disabled; and 1t will be some time
! before he Will be able to resume his customary
/ amusement.
| The Rev. George N. Howard Z. d. of Low
| ell. whom Boston Globe reporter met the
other evening, had unique experience two
years ago, when he was delegate

! party. sunday found the party on the road
! ana II was suggested by some one that ii
| would he proper thing to hold some kind of
a religious service. The matter was brought
! to MIR. Howard S notice. and he immcdiateIv
/ approved OF it. An eXtemporaueous choir
| was organized, and one of the musicians of
! the party took his station at the piano in one
! OF the cars. The occupants Of the other cars
| were notlhed OF what was about to take place
| and by the time that everything was in readi
/ ness the car that had been chosen as n chanel
/ was hiIed TO the doors. The train hands and
| even the pOrters took their places among the
| rest. The service was an interesting one and
MI Howard preached an eloquent sermon
From the time that he began to speak till the
time he had finished the train had made n
run of eighty miles. From that day to the
present Mr.. Howard has claimed to he the
only living Clergyman who has preached n
serman that was heard for eighty miles and
his friends are fond of referring to him as the
champion long distance preacher of Amer

1t is reported that the butter secret has
been discovered, says Harper's Weekly. DR.
Vaughn is the man who is credited with bav
ing found it, and ii is regarded in scientific
circles as perhaps the greatest Of his discov
cries. 7 he thing that he is represented to
have got at is the alkalod which being Gre
ated in milk or cream by churning produces
butter. DR.. Vaughn, ii seems takes n can Of
fresh milk drops in some alkalOid and nres-
entity dips out the fully developed butter with
out further ado 1t is not oleomarparine or
any legalunless-labeled substitute but real
butter. Here is another step taken toward
the millennial period when man will press tho
button and nature will do all the rest. DR.
Vaughn does away with the churns; the next
innovator may be expected to abolish cows
Give him pail of water and he iuggles some
thing into 1t, and you get back real milk Then
an ounce or two of allxalOid and To- butterl and
all the milkmen and dairymaids are in search
ofnew employment, There is something dis.
