Hear the Ants Talking.


Popular Science Monthly.
That ants are capable Of producing
sounds ineligible to their fellows
and even audible to our ears seems to
be proved by the experiments of Sir
John Lubbock, Landois, Robert
Wroughton, Of Bombay. &. Janet,
Forel, e. Warsmann, and others. 1t
also seems TO be determined that the
sounds are produced by the rubbing
together of superficial portions of the
body. A simple yet ingenious con-
trvancc is described for enabling an
observer to hear and study these
sounds. A glass funnel is set, small
end down, in the middle of square
Of window glass of five or six inches
wide, fitting closely enough to prevent
the insects era wiling out under 1t. a
bunch of ants about as large as Il
chestnut and free from any foreign
substance is dropped through the fun
mel, and that is lifted up at once.
While the ants are still confused, and
before any of them can reach the edge
of the glass, it is covered with another
square like it, Which has been sur
rounded, a short distance from its
edge, by IA pad of putty. This confines
the ants and prevents their being
crushed. The two plates of glass are
pressed together to within about the
thickness of an ants body, but closer
on one side than on the other, SO as
to hold some tight and leave Others
free to take such positions as please
them. On applying this box of ants tc
the ear as one would a watch, re.
gular buzzlng may be heard like that
Of water boiling In an open vessel, and
with it some very clear stridulations.
The ants may be kept alive several
hours and even days in this prison il
II is not air-tight; and whenever the
ants are excited the stridulations may
be heard very numerous and intense
The stridulations are supposed to be
produced by rubbing the rough scaly
surface OF the chitinous covering,
which Is described as looking, wher
seen in one direction under the micro
scope, like the teeth of a saw.

Why worry, therefore, unless you
worry becauseyou Have no confidence
in high heaven? III that case you are
but in no other. II You feel
that everything depends on yourself,
that there is no lp.anywhere, that
blind chance rules the universe and
that you must remain between the

are ground to powder, you may well
gnash your teeth in rage. There is
nothing else for you to do, and you
may be excusedfor hurting auathemas
at the accident which brought you

But suppose you are able to say to
yourself, THE Lord is sovereign; He
knows where am and what ] an cn-

Will help me to bear it d; His angels are

need not gnash your teeth, since there
is no cause for anger. You will no
more turn from Him than you would
turn from the dear one who holds
your hand while the surgeon cuts tC

If you can look up to heaven with a
feeling that it is on your side, you can
also look at life with conviction that
what comes to you is for your good.
There is a vast deal of needless wOr
rying IN the world, and it is equiva
lent to telling the Almighty that He
doesn't know what you ought to have
rs well as you do Yourself.
After you have done your best witt

matters IN His hands and to conclude
that you can find more comfort ant

| Why make life harder than it is by
worrying about things that may new
er happen?
No matter how sharply you mal
feel sorrow, if you know that it ha

Col. Revere, in his book, "Keel and

of the killing of Stonewall Jackson:
"The left Of my brigade line lay
near the plank road at Chancellors-
vile, and after night l rode forward
according to my invariable habit, to
inspect my picket line. l stopped to
rectify the post Of sentinel not far
from the plank road. While thus en-
gagged heard the sound of hoofs from
the direction of the enemy's line, and
paused to listen. Soon cavalcade
appeared approaching. The foremost
horscman detached himself from the
man body, which halted not far from
me, and riding cautiously nearer
seemed to try to pierce the gloom

vations, he rejoined the group in the
rear and all returned at a gallop. The
clatter of hoOfs soon ceased to be
audible, when the horizon was lighted
up by sudden clash IN the direction
of the enemy, succeeded by the we'll
known rattle of volley of lnusketry
from at least a battalion. A second

Sss6 ts Marry Beautiful and wealthy
~ Philadelphia ReIress.

A telegram from Boston dated
March 20tll. says: John Boehn,. a
printer OF that city, is soon to marry
Miss Theresa Gertrude Butler, only
daughter of Capt. Howard G. Butler,
the Philadelphia millionaire. The
engagement has been kept secret, it
is said; at the desire Of the young
woman's parents, who do not favor
the match.
She is beautiful, girl, the idol of
her mothers heart and the 'pride.of
her rich father, with three-Quartcrs
of million in her right.
Last August Miss Butler, with her
parents, went to Newport, where
they were guests of Mrs. Blgelow. At
about the same time Mr.. Boehn, with
party from Boston, went to New
port to attend dance given in New
port Bazaar. There he first met Miss
Butler. They met often, and the
Stbl RbcS uudu tuC XIII pulCtI'S w
dered Boehn to cease his attentions.
The order was not 0beyed. and
secret meetings followed. In this
way month was passed, and then
Mr. Boehn returning TO Boston they
began to communicate by letter, be-
coming engaged about the middle of
last January. Mr.. and Mrs. Butler
protested, but their daughter insisted
that she loved young Boehn and that
his poverty should not be a bar to
their union. Then the parents gave
their consent, and on Washington's
birthday the couple met in New York
and made arrangements for their
marriage. The wedding will take
place in the home Of the brides pa
rents on Chester Avenue, in Phila-
delphia, but there will be no display.
1t is planned that their honeymoon
will be spent in new England town
and the couple will so to Europe for a
year. Miss Butler is twenty-four
years old Mr.. BJehn is year her
senior. The latter has been a comi
poster on several of the Boston daily
ne wspapers. Capt. Butler is said II
be worth nearly $1,000, 900, and is well
known on Wall street.

Good Judges of wbiskey.

Joe c. s. Blackburn and John G.
Carlisle were some years ago visiting
common friend at his summer resi-
dence. The host had some old Ken
lucky whiskey of which he was very
proud and this was, in his estimation,
the richest treat he could offer the
Kentuckians. 1t lay in his cellars in
the original package and as the Ken
tuckians had about finished the pint
which had just been drawn off he took
occasion to say that the whiskey was
10 years old.
mo" said Mr.. Carlisle. that's very
good whiskey but it's only IL years

Mr.. Blackburn said: That's right,
John, and ii came from Bourbon coun-
ty, in my old district"
The host agreed that II was Bour-
bon county whiskey but maintained
that IT was 10 years old and asked his
visitors for a candid opinion of its
merits. Blackburn tried another
glass and said: 81 have only one
fault to find and that is a slight fla
vor of rusty metal" Carlisle filed
again and said that so far as he was
concerned he was unable to detect any
flavor of metal but it did taste a
little leathery.
This criticism rather wrought on
the feelings of their host, who de-
clared that IL was Impossible that
either leather or metal could have
come in contact with the goods as they
were still in the wood. and as for the
age he would take them into the cell
lar where they could satisfy them
selves on that score. Into the cellar
they went and the seals showed that
Mr.. Carlisle's estimate of their age was
correct This the host confessed af-
ter an examination but he refused to
admit that there was any off flavor
10 his pet brand. The Kentuckians
tasted again and were more firmly set
in their opinions than before. Finally
the host undertook to settle the dis
pute and when the last dregs were
reached an old fashioned carpet tack.

the bottom of the barrel. That, of
course, ended the discussion and the
host has never since disputed the word
of a Kentuckian when he was talking
about whiskey.-Cinclnnati Tribune.
