The Ants Talked About 1t.

1t is becoming the general belief
among naturalists that all living crea-
lures have some communication with
making their wants, fears, ETC., known
to others of their species. A writer Oh
ants recently investigated the matter as
far as those interesting little insects
were concerned. He saw drove of ants
of small, black variety, which were
apparently moving to new quarters,
those going in a certain direction all
carrying eggs or sick and helpless rela-
tives, while those moving in the oppo-
site direction appeared to have just de
posted their burdens and to be return.

along with their work, Judging by the
leisurely way i'll which they logged
along, and upon meeting they would
frequently put their heads together as
though chatting about their new quar-.
ters or some other interesting subject.
1t being a question in the naturalist s
mind whether they were really talking
or not, he hit on the expedient of mur-
dering one of their number to see if the
others would run and tell what had
happened. He says: ''The eyewitnesses
of the murder hastened away and laid
their heads together with every ant they
met, whereupon all would turn and
scamper away. No more ants passed
along that path during the day st.

Formed the "Snake Bite Habit -

The results of the long series of ex-
perimental observations upon snake bite
which Professor Fraser. the great Indian
authority, has been conducting go to
show that we are within measurable
distance of time when the thanato-
phidian will not merely cease to Justify
its name, but when its bite will be-
come one of the luxuries of life
Probably no man has used up more
watch glasses and brown paper in these
experiments than Professor Fraser, SO
that there is not likely to be any mis-
take about it. Any number of death
dealers have had the papered watch
glass presented to their fangs. Every one
of these receptacles has had its fill of
"cloudy, watery fluid, somewhat Wis.,

has produced its modicum of brittle,
yellowish deposit" " Moistened with a
little water or glycerin, when required
for use, this deposit, 'unalterable in

the system of the lower animals, from
the frog to the horse, and now the horse
has been made as immune to snake poi

The immunity of the human animal
from the effects of snake poison thus
seems assured. But this is not ALL A

The Story of the Salmon.

In the autumn time, and onward to
the beginning of the next year, the
mother salmon ascends the rivers to de-
posit her eggs, and thus to secure the
continuance of her race. In connection
with this periodical visit or visits to the
river must be mentioned very curious
fact. The idea is entertained very
strongly by some authorities that a
salmon invariably returns to its native
river or that in which it was bred. 1t
has even been asserted by fishermen
that, when several rivers enter the sea
in one stream, as at Bonar Bridge, for
example, the salmon bred in each river
will pass back into their own water and
will avoid the strange streams. The late
Frank Buckland, strong believer in
this instinct of the fish, regarded the
sense of smell as that which led it to its
native river. Perhaps the truth is that
for the most part salmon do return to
their own rivers, but the practice and
habit are not necessarily invariable
We know the fishes certainly swim great
distances along coast lines, where they
are captured in stake and bag nets, and
it may well be the case that now and
then fish will turn into river that is
near in preference to seeking its own
and distant water.
Arrived in her river, the mother
salmon begins to scoop out kind of
trench in the gravel of the stream. This
she effects by plowing into the gravel
with her body. This trench is to be the
nursery of her young. The eggs are laid
in the furrow and are duly fertilized by
the male salmon. Then the trench is
filled in by the efforts of both parents,
the eggs are covered with gravel, and
the mound thus formed is called, in
fishers language, "redd." How many
eggs a mother salmon will deposit is, of
course, difficult question to determine,
but stock calculation maintains that
she produces about 900 eggs for every
pound she weighs. Each egg in its di-
ameter measures about quarter of an
inch, and it is estimated that 25, 600
eggs go to a gallon. Jour
