DO Ants Talk.

l one day saw a drove of the small
black ants moving, perhaps TO better
quarters. The distance was some $50
yards. Most all which came from the
old home carried some Of the household
goods. Some had eggs, some had what

meat; some had one thing and some an
other | sat and watched them closely
for over an hour. | noticed that every
time two met in the way they would
hold their heads close together rs If

how often the meeting took place this
same thing occurred, as though short
chat were necessary.
To prove more about it. killed one
who was ON his way. Others being eve
witnesses to the murder, went with
speed, and with every ant they met this
talking took place as before. But in
stead of pleasant greeting. it was sad
news they had TO communicate know
It was sad news, for every ant that these
parties met hastily turned back and fled

Instructive Suggestions For Youthful Per-

An excellent test for evenness in scales
is to play them over as softly as you pos
sibly can. To realize what 1 wish to

Keyboard, try to imagine that some one
is lying ill in the next room and you are
fearful of disturbing them, but feel las
indeed all earnest students do feel that
you must have some daily practice, how
ever little, just to keep your digits in
working order.
BY thus playing scales very softly you
will certainly find (unless very accom-
plished in technique) the thumb bump
ing somewhere, and the third finger pro-
ducing but a weak sound from its key.
Since to know where weakness exists
is long way toward remedying it,
need not write any more to the intelli-
gent student ON this score
In this excellent method of scale test
ing, play very slowly as well as softly
at first. \ little increase of pace may be
made later if desired. but if the scales be
played really quickly it is difficult to dis
tinguish the faulty notes.

The scale of B five sharpsl is in the

As a matter of fact this earth Of ours

verging on old age, and with its poles

in the geological period which imme-

known as the pOstpliOcenc, or quater-
nary, great changes took place, and man
has been a witness to them. The rivers
of today are mere brooks compared 10

America we can trace the shore lines of
immense quaternary lakes which no
longer exist.

was too intense to admit of any kind of
life. But it is only within recent years
that we have been able TO get a glimpse
of the ancient arctic zone, which is much
more accessible than the antarctic, and

1t was some five miles square and was
surrounded by wall of masonry, the
foundations, with a few projections, of

was undoubtedly meant for protection

Bridgton TO Norway are two burial plots
upon opposite sides of the road. Here

Woodsum brothers could never agree.
They disagreed in religion, politics and
every conceivable point that could be
brought up between them. Oh. their
disagreements in story form, as told by
the neighbors, would make a tale Of
