Mr.. Carnegie's own hobby In his
highland home is fishing. Coaching,
OF course. comes first with him as an
amusement He always has a notable
party with him.
MrECarnegie never cares TO coach In
this country not considering the seen

amusement to which he is apt TO re-

reading.
At a more or less tender age, when
the name Andrew Carnegie meant
nothing in particular. Mr.. Carnegie,
who was then a clerk i'm the once OF

Pittsburg, fell violently in love with
Miss Leila Addison of that town. III

Remarkable. Strength
Of the Black Ant Of
California >>>It Can
Carry With Ease a
Load Six Times Its
Own Weight

California can lay claim TO having
within it's borders the strongest crea-
ture that lves-that is, when its size
IL considered. The creature referred TO
IS the California black ant.
It has often been stated that an ant
could carry a load equal 10 it's own
weight. Some species were known that
could carry a load equal 10 twice their
own weight But the California ant
throws them all into the shade. as the
saving is. for this fellow is capable of
carrying with ease a load OF six times
his own weight. And il may be that
he could carry more If he would try.
The ant that possesses such great
strength IS known in different localities
by different names. The commonest OF
all is "black anti" but besides this. it is
called giant ant" sting ant" and a
few other names unnecessary 20 men,
tion. In this article the creature will be
called the black ant. for that is what
scientists call II when they are too tired
To mention it's other name which comes
from the Latin. OF course. men who
have been bitten by IL have called il
names that were neither Latin nor
Greek. Just what they were is a mat
ter of no consequence, not now at any
rate.
At all seasons Of the year the black
ant Is most promiscuous in all parts OF
California In the winter he can be
seen climbing among the crevices OF
rocks on rainy days and over the trunks
of trees when il Is warm enough TO be
out.
In size the black ant will measure
about three-tenths Of an inch in length
on the average. Hc is smooth and pol
ished like a bit of jet and has legs as
strong as steel. These legs are not
tough. as might he imagined, but are
brittle. like a sewing needle. and can he

this perhaps that gives II the great
power Of locomotion.
The Jaws OF this creature are some
thing almost impossible To conceive Of.
They have been known 10 bite through
pieces of fine brass wire at one move
ment and cut Il as clean as though
they were OF hardened steel. Every
thing about this ant is Of the strongest
kind and i'm reality IL looks as II II were
built TO resist the most terrible forces
of nature. II really can resist a great
deal and force Itself through n great
many things. II has been known 10

Recently a party of scientific men
were watching a number Of these ants

the wind and exposed 10 the sun-in
fact an ideal place for black ants. AS
the professors had brought no lunch

the hillside Some were engaged in
carrying seeds, while few others were
removing the choice parts OF a dead
beetle.
Each seemed TO be making efforts To
outdo the others in carrying capacity
Just as country boys have been known
to do during harvest season. some or
the ants carried two seeds, ana might
have carried three II they could nave
taken hold of them.
While all this was going on there
came racing over the rough gfouhu
from a spot a few feet 10 the west OF
where the big crowd was at work an
ant who seemed particularly proud Oh
what he had accomplished. In his jaws
was n piece of some kind Of root about
IL inches long Mr.. Ant had hold OF

he managed TO get the root pointed up

started off.
At this stage OF the game one or the
professors thought he was GOOD thlhs

GOOD WORK RESUMED.

The resumption of Colonel Good
years work on the Brunswick bar to-
morrow should be matter of congrat-
ulation to every Brunswickian, The
narrow margin which Colonel Good
year lacked on the report of the en-
gineers on the Bache and his declara-
tions at that time encouraged the be-
lief that he would very shortly take up
his task again.
1t is believed that he can, under the
methods adopted, remove the 10000
cubic yards required IN something like
60 working days. AS soon as this
amount is removed, with some co
spare, another survey will be ordered.
THE TIMES hopes, in behalf of
Brunswick, that the next survey Will
show no shortage.

NO TIME FOR THRILLING.

The conviction of Flanagan, that
archetype of things murderous and re-
pulslve, was all right. No charge of
the Saws delay" can be brought in
his case-as yet. But the citizen who
reads the account of the prompt con-
vlction of this uncomfortable mon
ster, and Judge Gamblers sentence
that he be hanged, is surprised to read
just below, that motion will be made
for a new trial; that, failing this, the
case will go to the supreme court; and
that, this unsuccessful, the attor-
neys will take the case to the United
States supreme court-in short, any
thing to gain time; anything to defeat
the sentence of the law.
And right there the said citizen
makes up his mind, and makes it up
quickly. He cannot see, in his impair
tial view of the case, any plausible
excuse for such proloDgatlon Of
subterfuge and teChnlcality. He be-
gins to reason with himself, thence
forth ,on the subject of lynchings gen.
orally, and he cannot but wonder that
the people do not take the law into
their own hands more frequently.
OF course, lawyer is expected to
look out for the interests of his ellie Mt
but there is such thing as over
doing it. What can be hoped from a
further delay in the case of Flanagan?
He has had able legal representation
he has enjoyed one of the tairest and
most impartial trials ever known in
Georgia.; every circumstance In his
favor has been emphasizedsand if the
honorable court pleases, even magni-
fed the jurors saw before them a
tiend in human form, with a perver-
sion of character that was not insan-
ity, but utter blood-thirstIness and
they felt that they could not face the
public after sending him free from
the court room, or consigning him to
the comparative freedom of a lunatlc
asylum.
They convicted him; they did their
duty!
To prolong the struggle for this life,
so fully and completely forfeited to
the state would be to invite repeti-
tion of the Ryder example, and its
bitter results, its disparsging COM
ments.
