Ants That Live on Honey.

A colony of 12,OOO,OOO dairymen ants
is said to have been discovered in the
western border of Chester county, Pa.
These insects subsist on honey secured
from the tiny aphides, which live on
grape vines and rose bushes. These
yield single drop of honey when dis
turbed. The dairyman ant pats the
aphide, the honey appears, and the
ant devours it greedily. The frightened
aphide is disturbed until its supply of
honey is exhausted, when the ant
seeks another storehouse. The head
and chest of the ants are bright red,
the abdomen black. Their homes are
mounds ten feet high. Each mound is
said to contain several castles. The
aristocracy have wings, and are about
six-sixteenths of an inch long. Their
exclusive task is to raise the young.
Next are the workers. They are short
er and without wings.

A SEA OF FLAME.

On the evening of November, 18th, 1875
fire broke out in the British ship Melanie,
loaded with 500 barrels of petroleum. An
awful mass of flames shot up from the main
hatch and the vessel quivered from stem to
stern with explosion of the barrels. Her
seams opened and the blazing petroleum
poured out into the river spreading belt

jumped overheard. Captain Sharp, whose

NEW IMPLEMENT OF WARFARE.
Invention by a Pole which Renders

Invention by a Pole Which Henders
Destructive Weapons Useless.
The greatest benefactor OF modern
times may be found in poor Polish
chemist named Simon Pavlowsh, OF
Warsaw. This obscure chemist has in
vented a new gas, which, if used in the
battles of the future, will put an end
to the horrible limitations and terrible
deaths on the battle field, says the New
York World.
The battles of the future will be the
harmless bursting of Pavlowsh shells,
filed with gas which, as soon as fired
from its gelatine cage, will permeate the
atmosphere breathed by the enemy and
lull them into a 15-hours' sleep, from
which they will not awaken until their
standards have been seized by the OPP
posing army and their sleeping bodies
removed to place of safety.
The gas invented by Pavlowski is an
anasthetic which is forced into a she'll
made of geletine. When the latter
bursts in the ranks of the enemy this
gas escapes, rendering every soldier in
the immediate vicinity soothingly I'M
conscious for a long time, but with no
other injury than to incapacitate him
for the time from working against the
opposing army.

independence of what is now the
United States of America was assured.
That girl-child whose life began al
most with that of the United States is
Mrs. Anne Armstrong, now of county
Clare, Ireland. She grew up in Fer
managh and married there. Her hus-

stabulary. When she was &c years old
she and her husband moved to Mil
town Malbay, in county Clare. That
was 90 years ago. In a little matched
cottage at Spanish Point, just outside
Midtown Malbay, Mrs. Armstrong lives,
all alone, waiting for the time when she
shall be called to join those who were
dear to her, who died years and years
ago.
The days that she has lived through
have been fraught with the most won

Mrs. Armstrong; memory was that of
the great Irish rebellion of 1898, when
she was a lass of II. She tells still of
how Irishmen were hanged or shot or
imprisoned without trials and of the
reign of terror which held for years,
Mrs. Armstrong is still able to walk
and to care for herself and her little
cottage by the aid which her kindly
neighbors give her. She is thin and
slightly deaf, but her sight is good and
her memory clear Her dress is simple,
but cap and apron of snowy white

are also simple. At four or five o'clock
each afternoon her day is finished, and
she locks her cottage door and retires

turtles. Bishop Hartell, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, after a close observa-
tion of the situation, indorses the opin-
ion. There are already signs of the COM
ing trouble. Germany is watching Brit
ish progress in Africa with jealous eye
and only wants preteNt to in
terfere in order to stop that prog
ress. The French are continually
encroaching on the sphere of British in
fluences, and though the French govern
ment disowns the acts of oyerzealous
French officers, still the government
holds whatever they acquire. Africa is
a rich prize, and English, Germans and
French, to say nothing of Italians, will
all seek to gain as large slice of the
continent as possible. 1t requires no
prophetic powers to predict that Eng
land will outstrip all her rivals in the
race. She has a firm foothold now both
in Egypt and south Africa, and every
year is acquiring additional territory.
England is the great coloniZer of the
age, and her great naval power will
give her an immense advantage in the
coming struggle.

GREAT QUANTITIES OF FOOD.
The Productive Power of the United
States Is Now i'm Evidence.

The Productive Power of the United
States Is Now in Evidence.
Michael G. Mulhall, +. S. S., in North
American Review, writes: 1t appears
that as regards quantity three Ameri-
cans now export as much as five did
20 years ago, which suffices to show how
groundless are the predictions of some
writer's who tell us that as population
increases so the surplus products for
expectation must diminish. In the
last 20 years population has risen from
$4,000, 900 to II 100000 souls, an increase
of IS per cent, and at the same time
the weight of exports has risen IT'S
per cent; that is, three times as fast
as population.
The quantities of food yearly ex-
ported are sufficient to feed 30,000,000
persons in Europe, from which it APP
pears that American farms raise food
for 1OO0OO,0OO people yearly. The west
ern prairies are capable of carrying
double the present number of live stock,
and producing ten times as much grain
as they do, so that, for at least a century
to come, there is every probability that
the expectation of food will increase
with population. The same is true as
regards cotton, the crop having risen
125 per cent. in 20 years.
The world is only beginning to have
evidence of the enormous productive
power of the United States.

STICKS TO HIS OATH.
Why n KentuclSian Has Not Voted for
Fifty-Three Years.

Ono man in Kentucky who did not
vote in the election held recently is Har-
low Spencer, of Fort Spring, six miles
from Versailles, Ky. Mr.. Spencer is 76
years of age, and has been a miller at
Fort Spring for half century.
He is legally qualified to vote, and it
was neither physical infirmity nor the
bad weather that kept him from the
polls, but obedience to a strange vow
that he made to himself a few days
after an election held SO years ago.
Spencer cast his first vote in presi-
dental election and his last vote in any
election in 1874. He was then an old
line wing and hero worshiper. In his
teens he had pinned faith to Henry
Clay, whom he regarded as the greatest
man in this country. When Clay was
nominated by the whig party for the
presidency in 1914 Spencer was over
joyed, and he threw his whole soul into
