THE PARASOL ANT. -w
The Greatest known Curiosity of
Insect Life.


Chicago News.
The greatest known curiosity of in
sect life, as far as habits are con-
cerned at least. is to be found in the
queer 'parasol," or umbrella" ant.
so common in all parts of tropical
America from Texas to Venezuela.
The common name by which the Gre
ature Is known has been bestowed be-
cause Of queer habit this species of
ant has of stripping certain kinds of
trees and shrubs Of their foliage and
carrying the leaves to their nests.
An army of these ants which have
been off on foraging expedition pre-
sent the queerest sight imaginable as
they march in long columns by twos,
fours and SKIES. each holding the stem
OF leaf in his jaws, the leaf itself
shading the little insects body as a
parasol does the face and shoulders
Of a lady.
The early naturalists imagined that
these ants carried leaves for the sole
purpose of protecting themselves
against the tropical sun, but recent
investigation by the director of ag-
riculture, Trinidad, shows that they
have another use for the bits Of green
they gather. The leaves, according to
our authority, are only wanted as soil
upon which to grow certain species
Of fungi, which the parasol ant is very
fond of. The agricultural investigator
mentioned above gives a detailed ac-
count of his observations at parasol
ants nest, where fungus growing ap-
pears to have been the chief industry.

CHARACTER IN Boards.
How the Whiskers Conceal a Mans
Nature and Breeding.

'I don't know a greater shock" said
a thoughtful man-"hardly that of see
ing what illness has done to the face
than coming upon a man whom we
have always known with a mustache or
beard and finding him with none Sides
Of his character we have never sus-
pected, weakness of will that have al
ways been hidden, are suddenly laid
bare.
81 sometimes think he added "that
a full beard to many man is like a
vine to crumbling wall-a provision Of
nature to cover that which otherwise
could not have been relied upon. With
out his beard, how many a patriarch
would appear in his true character Of a
despot? how many philanthropist as
a selfish schemer?
For, after all, it is the lower part Of
the face that reveals the man you meet
every day. You get his intellect, the
qualities he exercises consciously, his
power to think and plan, all in the up
per part Of his face. This may be fine,
almost Greek in line and proportion,
but the lower part Of the face is the
text to a mans nature; his refinement,
his origin even-all are written here"

QUEER CLOCKS.
One Made From Bread That Kent
Good Time.

One MADE from Bread That Kept
Good Time.
Bread, we think, is the most curious
material out of which a clock was ever
been constructed. There was, and
may still be, in Milan a clock made
of bread. The maker was a native Of
Milan, who devoted three years of his
time to the task. He was very poor,
and, being without means to purchase
the necessary metal for the making of
clock. he sat apart regularly a por-
ton OF his bread each day, eating the
crust and saving the soft part. To
soiidtfy this he made use of a certain
salt, and when the various pieces were
dry, they became perfectly hard and
1nsoluble In water. The clock was Of
fair size and kept good time
Another strange clock was exhibited
some years ago in Liverpool. It was
constructed Of pins, buttons, and all
sorts Of odds and ends, by a pauper
named Mercer. The maker of this ex-
traordinary timepiece thus describes
it himself: The back and front of the
clock were made from iron bed laths.
while the barrel was part of a large
brass ferule, the ends being brass but
tons hammered out. The barrel arbor
had originally been the blade of a shoe
makers awl; the main and several
other wheels were nothing more nor
less than suspender buttons from the
makers own trousers, while the cog
teeth were portions of bygone knitting
needles. The teeth of the center wheels
had been boot rivets. In the dial there
were 100 separate pieces.

WILL BECOME HIS OWN FATHER
How Judge Scott VIII Be Affected by
Gen. Harrfson1s Marriage.

Ex-President Harrison's r. brother-in-law
Judge J. N. Scott, of Port Townsend,
Wash, at a social gathering the other
evening" discovered very Unexpectedly that
he was about to become his own father.
The subject Of Gen. Harrison's approaching
wedding was being discussed with party of
friends when some one asked Judge Scott If
that would not somewhat complicate and tan
gle up the limbs on the family tree. For a
moment the question somewhat stunned the
gentleman, and then the party commenced to
try and solve the matrimonial problem and
the deeper they went into the subject the more
mystifed they became, and finally it was given
up as an unfathomable tangle. Several Of
the notes made and calculations formed were
preserved and given to the press.
OF the existing relationship Judge Scott is
fully informed. It was trying to locate the
limb OF his own family tree amer the weu-
ding shall have taken place that he became
confused. After-seyeral hours of deep mental
exercise he arrived at these conclusions; II
am now Gen. Harrison's brother-in-law, and
Mrs. Dimmick, his prospective BRIDE is my
niece. After they are married my brother-in-
law Will become my nephew and my niece,
consequently, will become my sister-in- law.
Then of course will become my own brother
in-law and also my niece's brother-in-law.
Now, slowly continued the philosophical reas-
oner delving into the future al little deeper,
IF this contemplated union should be pro-
duetive Of claimant for the ancestral hat he
Will be my nephew and also my grand nephew.
l will be his uncle and his granduncle.
Whew," calculated the judge, as he wiped
the perspiration from his brow "that will
complicate matters. Just see here Now in
order to be uncle and granduncle7 to one and the
same person it must necessarily follow that 1
am my own father, and-oh, d-n the whole
thing, anyhow. / am not going to rack my
brain over other peoples troubles" and up
jumped the judge, somewhat exasperated.
The logical result of the union7was quite as
tonishing. The judge and the guests sat down
to figure 1t out again, arriving at the same
conclusion. Then some one ascertained that
Gen. Harrison would become his own nephew
and cousin Of his own son, should one be
born, and who will also be a second cousin of
his own brother and his fathers nephew At
this point the mental exercise subsided Judge
Scott agreeing to furnish palatable beverage
But it leaked out, and has been given to the
