eERstr OF THEIR QUEEN.
A Colony Of Ants Perturbed For n Time.
The Guard Under Arrest

"y VI Nh's ferturbed For Time.
The Guard Under Arrest
An observer Of nature sitting on one OF
the scats In Central park one spring day
was wondering why across the rubbly as
phait path thorc was such migration Of
those big black headed ants which arc to
be found here and there about the park
little predatory fellows which seize the
moth or butterfly that, Just emerging
nom Its larval winter home, wants to
climb up some kindly twig, grow its wings
and then fly whittier IT llsteth.
The cause of all the parade was soon ap-
parent. There was to DO new colony
formed, ana great brown ant, a queen,
i've times as big as any Of her subjects
was being drawn across the path by
guard OF honor. A new home was to be
established to relieve the overpopulated
nest that had boon the ants domicilo all
through the winter.
The observer without In any way injur-
ing tho queen, captured her, and then
there was the most tremendous commotion
among the ants. The queen WAS carefully
housed In a small cone of paper, and then
all attention was given to the ants, the
workers. A nation which had lost Its rul.
or could not have appeared more distressed

spread with Incredible quiokness that tho
queen OF the new colony had been purloin-
ed-had vanished. Her guard Of a score OF
soldiers, SONG three of whom ut least bit
tho observers fingers sayagely, were nll
apparently placed undor arrest, and the
ground was soon black with ants Those
from the old homestead were aiding the
now colony to find their missing queen
and were scurrying around everywhere,
touching nntenn@, and when no definite
news could be given rushing off again in
search Of the missing ruler.
After short time the queen, so egg la
den Tint she could not move, was placed
on the path, and In second afterward
one OF the scouts discovered her The scout
appeared really to make an obeisanco to
her. Ho had an interview Of moment,
and then scuttled off TO find his comrades
TO tell the good nows and to get a oohort
of soldiers to take tho good lady home,
Soon there was perfect regiment Of ants
around her, and sho was carried to n small
hole under tho root OF privet, where no
doubt the new home had been dolyed out
in preparation for her arrival. A small
tribute to this little glimpse into natures
life was paid by getting some Jumps Of
sugar, softened with water. They were
placed near the new colony. They were
soon found, and tho little fellows were
busy until shutdown in taking down the
tiny crystals they Clipped of the rocks
they were rocks to them-to I'LL their store

Last Evening.
THEY DISCUSSED BILLS (!
A Request for Increased Commission by
Engineer wOmelSdOrf RefuSed-Addi-
tiOnal Fire Alarm Boxes.

The Borough Council held an adjourned
pertaining to the public water works and
to pay bills that were laid over from the
regular meeting held last week.
Mr.. Gallagher presented the final esti.
mate of Contractors Quinn & Kerns with
a statement from Engineer Womelsdorf
that the contract was closed.
President Mcguire stated that as Coun.
Gil had decided that the cost of making
repairs to the Brandonville reservoir
should be deducted from the bill of the
contractors, it would be laid over.
Engineer Womel sdorf sent in a bill for
his commission on the cost of the public
water works. He figured on $149S26, his
commission being three per cent, or
81, 494.78. OF this amount 81, 900 had been
paid and last night Council granted 81, 500
on account of the balance. A request
from Mr.. Womelsdorf that his commits.
sion be raised from three to five per cent.
was refused.
