An EnTiish Scientists Account Of Warning

Most of my readers, / doubt not,

Sir John Lubbock upon ants and their
ways, especially in the matter of COM
munication between the members OF
an ant colony. / have been reading .
most interesting account of what :
Mr.. James Weir saw in the course Of .
battle between two rival ant species,
the observations in question hailing
from the other side of the Atlantic.
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 anphides, or
plant-lice, from which the ants obtain
a sweet secretion, milking the anphides
pretty much after the fashion OF hui
man dairymen There was a whole
army of the rival ants Lasius niger)
approaching the dwelling-place of the
favus tribe.
Mr.. Weir tells us the myers were
marching in battle array, with a skirm-
ishing party in advance of the main
body. When the blacks were about ten
or twelve feet off the yellow encamp.
ment the scouts or pickets of the lat
ter discovered the approach of tho
enemy whom the pickets hurried to
give the alarm, and instantly the yell
low horde issued forth from its 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 tho
yellow skirmishers TO anticipate the
fray. and in few moments battle
royal was raging on all sides
The attacking force outnunbered the
defenders by about three to one. Mr..
Weir gives the number OF the blacks at
one thousand Eve hundred. and that Of
the defending yellow tribe five hun
ored. The latter were the larger and
stronger, but the blacks, or attacking
party, were much more active and az

The yellows went for their opponents

At exactly noon yesterday a Santa Fe
train struck an electric street car at the
Eighteenth street crossing on Topeka ave
nue. and smashed it into smithereens.
The wreck was so complete that the
Street Railway company set fire to the
heap of iron. timber and glass rather than
20 to the expense OF clearing up the debris.
The only TWO occupants Of the street car
at the time were Motoneer McFee,ers and
George Gildow, German farmer. residing
near Bainville Their lives were spared
through the fortunate fact that when tho
wreck occurred they were Oh the right end
Of the car. As it was, they were. badly
shaken up, but not seriously wounded.
The Car started from the north end OF
line at Twenty first street at exactly IL
O'Clock. Mr.. Gildow entered it as II was
starting up and walked to the front end to
deposit his nickle in the slot Of the faro
box. He held the niGkle between his
thumb and forefiuger ready 70 drop it in
when the Car was struck with terrible
force, pusl cd off the electric track about
twenty-five feet when it met with resis-
tance againss the rail and was turned
completely over by the freight train which
struck it. The car falling as it did, on its
frame work, with the heavy iron trucks
anu uOtOr Ou top, was Crusucu ike an egg
shell. The rear end Was turned complete
ly around and the weight Of the motor.
800 pounds, being on that end, that part
Of the car made the front end tip up and to
to this fortunate circumstance the motor
neer and Mr.. Giidow are indebted for their
life. IL they had stood at the other end Of
the car when it was struck by tue freight
trains their escape from being crushed TO
death would be impossible.
When tho train had passed and the occu-
pants of the car had crawled out from
under the wreck Mr.. Gildow found the
nickel he intended TO put in the box still
between his fore finger and thumb. He
might have lost his life but for that
nickel. He can't explain how he kept the
usually pimble little coin, but he kept it
all the same.
Both men were badly shocked and
thought to be injured. aud when the train
stopped they were placed on 1t and con-
veyed down town for medical attention.
DIR. NcClses, the physician for the street
railway company, examined them, sewed
up a few scalp wounds on the motorneer's
head aud sent them home. Tue injuries
were comparatively light for such wreck.
None OF the occupants of the car knew
how the wreck happened. Several persons
saw the Cav when it was thrown of
the track but nobody saw it at the identi-
Cal moment of the collision. The motor
neer said he looked up the Santa Fe road q
few seconds before the car arrived at the
crossing aud that there was no train In
sight. 1t seemed to him,like it might have
raised out of the ground and struck his
car. The train men said they saw the car
as they turned around a rather sharp
curve, but were too near to 1t TO avert the
accident.
When Superintendent Sweet looked over
the wreck he found il so bad that he Or
dered oil thrown on it aud burned.
