BATTLING ANTS.
An English scientist's Account OF War.
ring Insects In America.

Most of my readers, doubt not,
have read the curious observations
Of Sir John Lubbock upon ants and
their ways, especially in the matter
of communication between tho mem
bers Of an ant colony. / have been
reading a most interesting account
of What Mr.. James Weir saw in the
course of a battle royal between two
rival ant species. The two species
were the Lasius niger, or blacks.
and the Lasius Flavus, or yellows.
The latter ants were herding their
COWS, which are the aphides, or plant
lice, from which the ants obtain a
sweet secretion, milking the aphides
pretty much after the fashion of the
human dairymen. There was whole
army of the rival ants (Iasius niger)
approaching the dwelling place Of
the favus tri be.
Mr.. Weir tells us the nigers we're
marching in battle array, with a
skirmishing party IN advance of the
main body. When the blacks were
about ten or twelve feet off the yell
low encampment the scouts or pick
cts of the latter discovered the ap-
proach of the enemy. Home the
pickets hurried to give the alarm,
and instantly the yellow horde issued
forth from it's nest and ranged itself
in battle array in front of the
aphides, the possession Of which
seemed to be the cause of the blacks
attack. Then out went the yellow
skirmishers to anticipate the fray,
and in a few moments a battle royal
was raging on both sides.
The attacking force outnumbered
the defenders by about three to one.
Mr.: Weir gives the number of the
blacks at 1000 and that of the de-
Tending yellow tribe at 500. The
latter were the larger and stronger,
but the blacks, or attacking party,
were much more active and agile.
The mode of attack was notable.
The yellows went for their opponen is
with their big jaws. Each seized a
black by the middle, as it were. and
with one bite severed the body in
two. IL
The mode of attack on the part of
the black soldiers was different.
They initiated rather the tactics OIL
light horsemen. The black seized
its yellow opponent by one of the
legs, and held on viciously and
tenaciously, like some insect bull
dog. Thus hampered in its move
ments. the yellow ant would strug e
fercely, but a second black would
mount on the disabled foe held by
the legs and then begin to bite
through the back, probably getting
at the nervous system, which lies or
the floor of the body, and ultimately
dividing the yellow victim through
and through. Only when tn 9 yellow
had given up the ghost. did the bull
dog black which had seized the fee1

Repairing a Dogs, Spine.

A unique operation has been success
fully performed by DR.: James Haley.
veterinary surgeon of New London.
A handsome little cocker spaniel was
brought to him short time ago strf-
fering with curvature of the spine as
some brute.
The little fellows back was twisted
out of shape and he was practically
helpless. His back legs were helpless
and he could not move. He was al
ways sufferer and kept moaning and
whining. DR.. Haley thought when he
first saw the dog the most humane
thing to do was to kill him, but he was
such handsome little fellow the doctor
thought he would try to save him.
After administering an anesthetic the
spine was Strengthened and the dog was
sencased in plaster of paris Jacket,
swung in straps and given proper medi-
cine and food. Finally, this week the
plaster was removed and the dog stood
on his feet for a moment in a surprised
sort of way, then he wagged his tail,
gave a spring into the air, and, with 4
loud bark, started off on a dead run
~ circle, barking like mad. He kept
lt4up for about ten minutes, and seemed
anxious q to show every one he was
all right.
He is just as good a dog now as he
ever was, climbs stairs without trouble,
and gets about with just as much ease
as any Of his playfellows The doctor
Is quite proud of his job, and the owner

ACID FOR SUGAR MAKING.
Cases md Water Combined to Form
%Saccharfne.

Cases and Water Combined to Form.
sSaccharine.
A very novel method Of making sugar
has been patented in Trance by NJ.
/ Pellegrini. Sugar is, chemically, a com
pound Of carbon, oxygen and by gen..
in such proportions that if carbonic.
acid, water and certain kinds of illu-
minating gas could be persuaded to-,
unite, in the proper quantities, the
composition Of sugar would be exactly
initiated. Hitherto, no one has been
able to make a sugar by mixing water
with two kinds Of gas, but M. Pelle- :
GRIM claims to have succeeded. The
apparatus he uses consists Of large
block of pumice stone, cleaned by soak
ing, first i'll sulphuric acid and then in,
water, which is set in an iron box.
plated with nickel inside. The length
of the box is three times that of the.
pumice stone block, which is tightly
fitted into the middle, and pipes are
arranged to convey the ingredients to .
the empty ends of the box, as required
Two Of them enter from the sides, and
serve to bring carbonic acid and hydro
carbon gas, while another pipe from
above, branched so as to reach both
empty portions of the box, conveys
steam. All the pipes are fitted with
valves and pressure guages. Another
pipe, at the bottom Of the box, serves ;
as an outlet. At first this pipe is closed,
as is also the steam pipe from above,
and carbonic acid is forced into one end
of the box, while ethylene gas is forced
into the other, under equal pressure
and in equal volumes, A few minutes
later the steam valve above is opened
and steam forced in under the same
pressure. AS the gases unite the press
ure falls, so that the supply Of each
must be kept constant. At the end Of
half an hour the supply Of gas is shut
off, the outlet pipe is opened and one
Of the chambers is found to be filled
with SYRUP, containing 25 per cent Of
sugar. The syrup is drawn off for re-
fning, and as soon as the app lratus is
ccol it is ready for a fresh charge.
The ethylene gas can be obtained by
roasting rosin or grease, but M. Pelli-
grini's patent covers other hydrogen.
bons, such as petroleum products. The
explanation is that the three gases are
condensed in the pores of the Drlmice
stone and there unite; but M. Maumene,
who has made some experiments, de-
c1ares this to be doubtful, and in Cos
mos expresses doubt as to the success
Of the process. Architect.

It was while was tie aching one
Alstyne. He was a red-faced, pomp-
ous-looking man, the uncle of one of
my pupils, who presented him to me
with eager haste, and later informed
me that 'Uncle Van had begged her
for the introduction" After that I
was never free very long from Van
Van Alstyne's society, and ] grew to
hate it as would any evil thing. He
was a widower and childless and said
to be enormously rich. Some poor
music-teachers would have been fat
tered by his attentions, but to me
they were obnoxious in the extreme.
But the first time limited to him that
it did not please me to have him en-

unexpected places for the purpose of
walking home with me, he gave me a
strange look, and limited something
about the loss of my pupil, his niece.
So I was warned in time, and. at last
submitted to his society. KNEW that
had pretty face, Mr.. Van Alstyne
took every opportunity to remind me
of it, and to show sort of infatuation
for me, which at last began to alarm
me greatly.
One day, while walking along at my
side as 1 fastened Monochrome to my
wretched shelter and the little sis ter
who had been quite i'll for several
days-Mr. Van Alstyne brought mat
tiers to crisis. He was holding his
umbrella over my head to protect me
from the falling rain, and in a hasty
way, scarcely looking me in the eyes,
he asked me to become his wife.
The thought startled me. It came
upon me like blow. 1t was horrible
to even think of such a thing! I trem-

Landed at Iceland's Capital.
In 1881. when G. Ell: Hill, now OIL
the Brazilian navy, was on the Jean.
cite relief expedition, to, the. Arctic
regions, sent out by the government.
his ship for a time was laid up at
Reykjavik, che capitol of Iceland.
While there, says the Nor hwestern
Lumberman, he saw a: derelict float
in and strike the wharf. It was at
once made fast, and proved to- be
loaded with yellow pine lumber. The
vessel was literally covered with
moss. and barnacles, and investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that the name
of the old craft that for years, by tide
and wind had been driven hither and
thither was the Jamestown. The
Inhabitants Of the capital thou ght
that a great prize had fallen into
their hands. Everybody turned out
and took a hand in unloading The
lumber came out in good condition,
and the Reykjavikans estimated that
there, was enough of it to last them
forty-five years. But. alas! what a
world this is as hope-crusher!
After the people had unloaded and
piled the. Lumber, the Denmark gov
eminent stepped in and confscated
it and started lumiber-yard OF its
own. On the return of the Jeanette

LANGUAGE OF ANTS.
You May Not Understand Tt But the
TnaectS no


Insects Do.
Youths Companion thinks it is no
longer necessary to prove the ex-
1stence OF language among insects.
What is now OF interest is to find
out, If we can, the extent and limits
OF their language and the ideas and
ln1erences to which it gives rise.
1T is still a question, however, in
what way communication is opened
and kept up. Is it by rubbing the
antenne together? The movements
of the insects make this seem reason
able, yet a professor of natural his
tory, in Prussia recently stated that
ants are provided With sounding
apparatus resem bling that OF the
wasp, by means of which faint sounds
suited to the ears of the ants are
produced. This remains to be
proved.
How is it that these small Great
ures can venture far from the nest,
distances that are relatively enor-
nous. and never hesitate about the
road to take when they wish to re-
trace their steps? Learned men who
have studied the matter attribute
the power to the formic acid given
out by the insect as it travels, so
that it finds it's way in exactly the
same way that fox or dog does.

Glass That Withstands Heat.
Hundreds of mirrors have been
ruined by lamps being placed close
to them to assist in toilet purposes.
and the average glass seems to be
exceptionally mean in respect Of
temperature. OF late years lamp
! glasses have been made by secret
process which makes them so tough
that. even if touched with red hot
iron, they will seldom crack. Now
an inventor has gone step farther
and has produced a glass which will
stand a greater heat without bend

can be put. on the market on a com
