A Useful Ant.EHter.

When q horde of yellow caterpillars
infested the linden trees ut the Zoologi
cal Gardens last week, Head Keeper
Manley, who is in charge during the
absence of Superintendent Brown. was
sadly puzzled for way to get rid of
the pests. Poisonous sprinkling mix
lures, tar and coal oil were applied to
the trees, but the results fell far short
of what had been hoped. The cater
pillars fourished in spite of all, and
seemed to increase in numbers. Then
the ingenious head keeper had a happy
idea. He took the South American
ante eater from it's cage, and, securing
it with collar and long cord, started
it up one of the trees. The way the
creature laid about with its long sticky
tongue, scooping in caterpillars by the
dozen, more than realized Manley's
greatest expectations. 1t took to
them with as much relish as though
they were its natural food, and in the
course of half an hour completely
cleaned the tree. Manley put the ant
eater up another tree and it ate until
it was gorged. Since then it has been
turned out three times day, and so
great have been its industry and appe-
tite that the caterpillars are nearly
extermiuated.- philadelphia Record.

John August, of Woodward Hill,
in the town of Coventry, Conn, WAS
badly gored by bull the other night
and would have been killed had it not
been for the heroism of his nine-year-
old son, Robert.
Mr.. August woo off his guard and
unarmed when he entered the en-
closure, and the bull charged him
without warning. He lodged sue
cessfully once or twice, but there was
neither time nor opportunity for
escape.
Twice he was tossed on the horns
of the animal. His clothes were torn
and his body was injured, and he was
already sinking from exhaustion. At
this juncture the son appeared, and,
quickly arming himself with pitch
fork, began combat with the bull.
At the first thrust the animal merely
lashed his tail with fresh fury, and
rushed again. The boy struck home.
The bull finally turned upon his young
assailant. The boy struck the animal
sharp blow across the nose. The
bull hesitated.
With renewed anger the bull low
cred his head for another lunge, and
once more the prongs of the pitchfork
pricked his neck. Again he paused
aud stared in apparent amazement at
the little fellow who was meanwhile
shouting words of encouragement to
his father. One more blow in the face
aud the bull stepped backward. Fol-
lowing up his advantage the boy soon
had him retreating sufficiently to al
low the father to crawl out of harms
way. Then, with his eye still OH the
bull, which was preparing to renew
the fight, he nimbly lodged the next
rush and escaped.

Picture ON u Grain Of Corn,

Probably the smallest piece of paint
ing in the world is that executed by a
Flemish artist. 1t is painted ON the
smooth side of grain of common
white corn, and pictures n mill and u
miller mounting stair with sack of
grain on his back. The mill is repre-.
sented as standing on terrace aul
near it is horse and cart, while a
group of several peasants is shown in
the road near by. The picture is
beautifully distinct, every object be-
ing flushed with microscopic fidelity,
yet by careful measurement il is
shown that the whole painting does
not cover surface of half M inch
