WARRIOR ANTS OF HONDURAS.
They Devour Every Animal in the Line of
 Their March.

Their March.
 It was in Honduras, near the Carib- bean coast, that l first saw the war rior ant, says 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 a native came running in, and in excited gestures bade me follow him. I did so, wonderingly. There on the rolling savannah stretched a wide, black belt, extending far back into the deep shadows of the adjacent forest It rose and fell with every formation of the ground, and, like huge snake, slowly crept toward the village.
 In countless multitudes they swarmed over the plain, marching in compact order like well-drilled army. Before them scurried hetero- genous 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 ently 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 thatched roof. The sound increased in loudness as the rats, mice lizards, cocl1roaches, centipedes and others of their ilk who had long made the roof their home tried vainly to es- cape. Some succeeded in getting away from the house, but only to fall victims to the surrounding hordes without.
 One large coclkroach, noticed, made a pluclzy fight, but overpowered by numbers. he gradually relaxed his eff forts and was soon dismembered, each ant carrying off a portion of his body as trophy. The most exciting battle was with a 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 of his tail the snake killed a score of his tormentors, but their places were soon filled with the black swarm which swept increasingly on.
 Finally the writhings 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 sundown the end of the column had past and was lost to view in the thickness of the forest. afterward learned that the warrior ants refuse to touch any food that they themselves have not caught and slain, which accounts for my provisions re- maining unmolested.

MANS WORK ABOUT THE HOUSE
The Kentucky Woman Who Never Liked
 the Idea of Doing 1t.

The Kentucky Woman Who Mover Liked
 the Idea of Doing It.
 Away up on the north fork of the Kentucky river the Widow Wilson kept a halfway house, famous in that section for its excellent fare, says a writer in the Detroit Free Press, and hen happened to be in that neigh bornood on one occasion made an eff fort to get there to stay over Sunday. I found it an excellent place and Sun day afternoon as 1 sat in the. shade of the porch the widow found me.
 Don't you get very lonesome here by yourself?'' asked, after few scat tering remarks.
 "Yes, sometimes,'' she answered.; ''but takin' it up one side an down t'other reckon I'm about ez well off ez ef I had man around
 But you ought to get married" I argued. ''You are still hale and hearty, and a husband would be a good deal of comfort to you.'
 "He mought be and he moughn't, ]" she said, shaking her head. Eve tried two an neither one suited"
 "What was wrong with them.
 ''Well, Jenkins, he wuz the fust one" said she, in a reminiscent tone; he wuz orney hound that used to git drunk an come home an thrash me all over the place. Elf he hadn't been a drinkin' man I could "a stood the thrashin' but I didn't like the idea uv both After he died I married Will son, and he wuz a lazy, ornery thing that used to git drunk an come home, an used to thrash him all over the place"
 She laughed softly at the thought of it.
 ''That was some better than the irst,'' I said, laughing with her.
 ''No, it wuzn't," she promptly re- piled.
 'NoP Why?" asked in surprise.
 ''Well, I'd kinder got used to Jen- kin's ways, an when Wilson come I never liked the idea of doing a mans work about the house."
 ''It was a new phase of "a mans work about the house," and for some time l ruminated about it.

COULD DEFEND OURSELVES
How Our Ports Could be Taken Care of in
Case of War.

----
How Our Ports Could be Taken Care of in
Case of War.
Several years ago, when an unpleasant
ness arose between this country and Eng
land over the Newfoundland fisheries, it was
claimed by certain of our officers that one
of John Bulls battle-ships could anchor off
COney Island, out of sight of the soldiers at
Fort Hamilton, and with her long-range
guns lombard New York City into ruins
This statement sent a thrill of alarm through
the country, says writer in Harper's Young
People, and awakened the people from their
false dream of security to realize that the
seabord cities were at the mercy of any pow
erful foe who might invade them from the
water Immediately measures were adopted
to so fortify the approaches to our harbors
that hostile fleet would find the gantlet
too hazardous to run.
Did our authorities at Washington decide
upon building forts of unusual thickness of
wall, with the expectation of resisting the
masses Of metal that might be hurled
against them? BY no means; because it
was known that modern projectile would
bore through stone and mortar as though it
was so much cheese. Another point that
they thought of was that the platforms,
called military tops, on the masts of war
ships, as well as the rails of those vessels.
bristle with rapid-fre cannon and Calling
guns, and that such an iron and leaden
deluge would be poured through the port
holes of an ordinary fort that the artillery
men would be swept away as quickly as they
gathered about the guns, leaving the fleet at
liberty to knock the fortification to pieces
or to sail past it into the harbor to sack and
fire the city.
Under these considerations it became
necessary TO provide system that would
insure protection to the soldiers and give
the advantage to the coast defenders.
In the proposed plan three interesting
kinds of ordnance are to be used, the irst
being that of huge 16-inch breech- loading
rife, mounted within revolving turret of
steel, built in the shape of an iron pot turned
upside down, SO that anything striking it
may be detected or turned away on account
of its rounded surface.
The second kind of defensive weapon is
that of the 10-inch breech-loading rifle,
mounted on platform below the surface of
the ground, and arranged so as to be raised
to the level Of the same by steam or hy-
draulic power. This platform is elevated
when the piece is ready for firing and i'm
mediately lowered out of sight after it has
been discharged.
The third and last device is a 15-inch dy-
Mantle gun, mounted on what is known as
disappearing carriage, because as soon as
it is fired it sinks from the view of those
outside the Notifications. This tube, SO feet
in length, carries an awful messenger OF
ruin, in contact with which the mightiest
iron ship that floats would be torn and man.
gled as though its sides were of paper and
its ribs of cardboard. The long barrel is
raised into position for firing by counter
| poise weights, and its natural recoil after
being discharged throws it back again below
the top of the works.
