WARRIOR ANTS OF HONDURAS.
They Devcrr Every animal in tho Limo OF
Their March.

Their March.
It was in Honduras, near the Carib-
bean coast, that / first saw the war
rior ant, says a writer in the Louisville
Courier-J ournal-those strong insects
which march through the tropical for
ests in armies, attacking every living
creature in their path. One intensely
hot day native came running in, and
in excited gestures babe me follow him.
/ did SO, wonderingly. There on the
rolling savannah stretched wide,
black belt, extending far back into the
deep shadows of the adjacent forest.
1t rose and fell with every formation
of the ground, and. like a huge snake,
slowly crept toward the village.
In countless multitudes they
swarrned over the plain, marching
in compact order like a well-drilled
army. Before them scurried hetero-
gencus mass of lizards, grasshoppers,
frogs, beetles and all other manner of
insects and reptiles in a wild scamper
to escape to a place of safety. Pres
emily the advance guard reached my
hut and disappeared within; then the
main column appeared, and soon the
roof, floor, walls and rafters were black
wish them.
Like the soft rustic of dried grass
stirred by a. gentle breeze came
the sound of their presence in the
leaves of my matched roof. The sound
increased in loudness as the rats, mice,
lizards, cockroaches, centipedes and
others of their Xix who had long made
the roof their home tried vainly to es-
cape. Some succeed ed in getting away
from the house, but only to fall victims
to the surrounding hordes without.
One large cockroach, noticed, made
plucky fight, but overpowered by
Numbers. he gradually RELAXED his eff
forts and was soon dismembered, each
ant carrying off portion of his body
as a trophy. The most exciting battle
was with q snake about three feet long
which tried to slip away unseen. The
ants quickly surrounded him, however,
and fought with terrific ferocity.
With every switch CT his tail the snake
killed score of his tornenbors, but
their places were soon filed with the
black swarm which swept increasingly
on.
Finally the writings Of the, snake
became fainter, and at last ceased en-
tirely. and then, and not until then,
did the ants relinquish their attack.
All day long they marched through
the house until at shutdown the'end of
the column had past and was lost to
view in the thickness of the forest. I
afterward learned that the warrior
ants refuse to touch any food that they
themselves have not caught and slain,
which accounts fer my provisions re-
naming unmolested.

japanese Rsiiro2 DIS.

The government of Japan has in
hand plans for TIE construction of
fourteen new railway lines. At pres
ent the railway mileage of the empire
reaches some 1900. of which 99i be-
longs to various companies. These. it
is said, will be taken over by the state.
Formerly the lines were built BY
British contractors. with material sup
piled from the United Kingdom. and
were operated By foreign engineers,
but now the state and private COM
panies have their own Japanese engi-
neers, and a great part of the railway
material and rolling stock can be
furnished from the national shops at
Shinbasi. although there is still room
