Life of an Ant.

Sir John Lubbock, the naturalist, has
been experimenting to find out how
long the common ant would live if kept
out of harms way. On August 8, 1888,
an ant which had been thus kept and
tenderly cared for died at the age of
Is years, which is the greatest age any
species of insect has yet been known
to attain. Another individual of the
same species of ant (formica fuca) lived
to the advanced age of 10 years, and the
queen of another kind Qasius niger)
laid fertile eggs after she had passed the
age of nine years.

GOOD PLACE TO FARM.
Advantages Offered in Queensland
for Those Willing to Work.
Has n Productive Soil and Is Rich I'm
Minerals of Various Kinds
Exports During the
/ Year 1896.

John d. Russell, commercial agent of
the Queensland government, is in San
Francisco on behalf of the colony of
Queensland and hopes to induce good
ly number of farmers and skilled ar
tisans to emigrate.
I'VE have several millions of acres of
the finest land that ever lay outdoors"
said Mr.. Russell, "and we can raise
everything from sardine cans to sugar
and mangoes. What we want is for
people of the middle classes, with eX-
perience and some capital, to emigrate
to Queensland and develop the natural
resources of the country. There is an
abundance of good government land
that may be rented or purchased for a
song. Out of COS, 4S7 square miles of
land in the colony the government has
only sold thus far 22,2O5 square miles.
Over 100000 square miles have been
leased, and there remain nearly 100000
square miles open to settlement.
''The mineral deposits in the country
per and precious metals in abundance
and the mines only await development.
During the year 1896 we exported 1900
tons of tin, valued at e64,OOO, and our
ether exports may be given as follows:
Wool, $4,000 tons, valued at 15,000,00O;
10000 tons of tallow, valued at $3,000,-
600; 10000 tons of sugar, only portion
of which was exported and brought
1922 200; skins, 81 ,OOO, 900; hides, 81, 20o,-
900; fruits, 100000. In any and all
of these districts people with expert
ence and small capital can make a bet
ter living, in my opinion, than in any
other country in the world"

GETS HIS HAIR CUT.
Bryan Supporter Breaks His Vow Be-
cause His Company Rebels.


cause His Company Rebels.
Madison Drake, of Elizabeth, N. j.,
commander of brakes zouaves and the
editor of the Leader, the other day had
his locks shorn for the first time since
last summer. He was one of the stanch-
est supporters of William Jennings
Bryan and during the campaign he said
he would not have his hair cut until
the silver orator should walk into the
white house. His hair grew down to
his shoulders, and, although he was
made the butt of many jokes by his
friends, he would not have his hair cut.
At meeting of his famous zouaves
the other night, called to make arrange
ments for participating in the cere-
monies attending the unveiling of the
confederate monument in New York,
the general was informed that, while
the members of his company were
anxious to participate in the event,
they refused absolutely to march be-
hind him unless he cut off the mop of
hair that had made freak out of their
esteemed commander. This was more
than Gen. Drake had bargained for, and
without announcing his purpose he
quietly visited a barber shop and had
his locks shorn.

ELECTRICITY FOR RAILROADS.
, Test Made mt Hartford, Conn, Gives
Satisfactory Results.

An event of national Importance oc-
CURED the other day in the successful
application of electricity to railroading
On a scale commensurate with the di-
mansions of steam railroading.
The feasibility of the third-rail sys.

securing locomotion was successfully
demonstrated in an official trial over the
New England road from New Britain
to Hartford.
The run of ten miles was made in 1871
minutes, and with less jar than is ex-
perienced in an ordinary railroad pass

solidated railway, expressed himself as

TESTS WITH SUGAR BEET SEED.
Ten Thousand Pounds Distributed by
Agricultural Department..


The beet sugar seed which the agricul-
tural department has been distributing
is practically exhausted, about 10000
pounds having been sent out to farmers
in about four-ffths of the states. The
seed has been distributed in packages
OF from an ounce to half a pound, purely
for experimental purposes. The beets
grown from the seed will be analysed
and the saccharine matter determined
to ascertain where beets can be profit
ably grown for the production of sugar.
These experiments, it is believed, will
be of immense value, as the beet un-
doubtedly can be produced with profit
in many of the states. Wherever it can
be so produced it win give the farmer
a new crop. All the surplus vegetable

TRANSATLANTIC a MOUNTAIN.
A Hundred Tons of Explosives Used
in the Task.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A great section of the mountain at San
Diego overhanging Moreno dam on one
side was torn off this afternoon by 100000
pounds of powder lifted several feet
straight up and then pushed bodily for
ward forty or fifty feet, trembling over the
mighty gorge below the DAM and then
falling with an awfdl roar 1875 feet, to re-
main hereafter for all time as the bull
wark of the great dam being built to inn
pound water Tor the city
The dam is forty-three miles east of the
city. For two months or more preparations
had been made for the monster blast, in
common with another blast that is nearly
ready. The plan was to cut tunnels into
the side of the mountain at various points
above the bed of the creek and to place
i'm these tunnels. first great stores of
black powder, which igniteS slower than
giant powder, and, therefore, has more
pushing power and less shattering effect.
on the surface and in places through the
mountain side were placed big deposits of
giant powder for the purpose of SKATER
ing the mass and lifting it up. According
to plans the black powder when 1t eX-
pioded would hurl the mass straight for
ward, making a bridge of granite across
the gorge and blocking the stream.
The plans were carried out with the
greatest care. Danger was constantly
feared from the great mines of powder,
but all went we'll and the blast was finally
ready. A lot of insulated electric wires,
connecting with each deposit of powder
and attached to 'exploders, were gather
ed into one circuit in a tunnel across the
gorge and above the blast, where the fore
man, John Duggan, stationed himself to
press the button. At 2:45 O'Clock the sig
nal was passed along that all was ready.
The workmen had posted themselves at
a safe distance and eagerly watched to
see the stupendous break in the hillside.
Foreman Duggan closed the switch, and
a wonderful scene instantly followed. The
side of the opposite hill, composed of great
boulders and masses of granite in bikes,
duivered, rose from it's bed of centuries
and shot out thousands OF little squirming
tongues of dust that gave the whole hill
a peculiar fuzzy appearance. This was for
a fraction of a second. A growl, like the
angry diapason of the ocean. sounded
deep down in the hill. and before the spec
tators recovered their equilibrium after
the artificial earthquake the mass was
falling.
An incessant rattle of rock filled the air,
like a regiment of musketry. Dust arose
in pillows and hung over the wrecked hill
for an hour. The falling of small rock con-
tinued for almost as long. When the dust
cleared away 1t was found that the blast
had dslodged mass of rock 400 feet up
and down stream and an average of sixty
feet i'm hight, completely bridging the
canyon. The engineers estimated that the
amount dislodged weighed 10000 tons. The
rock was thrown exactly as the engineers
had planned.
