males. however, lose their wings after
swarning and while still young. Those
that do not perish return to the nest
to become the future queens, or found
new colonies. The full-grown queen
is most sedentary and august person
age, for she never leaves the royal cham
Der after reaching maturity. She is, in
fact, prisoner, for the openings to her
chamber are so small that she cannot
pass out. She is many times larger than
her subjects.
The males apparently have little to
dc, while the poor workers perform all
the labor for the colony. This ant is an
indomitable laborer and does every
thing in the line of work, from building
the nest TO preparing food for and feed
ing the young and the queen. Some of
them are engaged continually in carry
ing away the innumerable eggs de-
posted by the queen. The worker ap-
pears to have distinct sense of it's
own, which compensates for the lack Of
sight.
The soldier is valiant denizen of the
community. If, while patrolling the
passages that lead to the nest, the in
sect discovers a part that is broken it
straightway rushes to the nest and rail-
lies all the available workers and sum
mons number of fellow soldiers, who
stand guard to protect the workers
from attack while repairing the break,
when they are the last to enter the pas
sage.
They display ingenuity in forming a
defense and display great heroism.
They have pear-shaped heads, which
terminate at the nose in a sharp point.
A tube runs to the rear of the head from
this pointand connects with magazine
surrounded with strong muscles.
These. contracting. discharge an often
sive, glutinous shot that renders hors
de combat an antagonist twice the size
of the soldier.
The termite is a highly destructive
creature. It's diet consists of wood, and,
being voracious eater, residences, fur
niIure and all other things made of
wood other than Spanish cedar are dam
aged beyond repair if once attacked.
On this account the interiors of most
houses where the termite exists are con
structed of Spanish cedar, the odor of
which is said to- repel the insects. The
destructive feasts of the little white ant
have caused the less of millions of dol
lars to the Panama Canal company and
the Panama Railroad company,

The chronological department Of the
American Museum of Natural History
at New York has been enriched by the
addition Of structures built by the white
ant or termite Of the tropical region Of
this hemisphere, collected by Mr.. Fran
els c. Nicholas, a mining engineer Of
No. III Broadway, New York. and pre-
scented to the museum by Mr.. Henry G.
Pratt Specimens of the little insects
were included in the gift. and these,
too. will be placed on exhibition in a
short time in connection with the struc-
lures, which are displayed on the gal
lery floor of the east wing.
OF these white ants from tropical
America little is known, ard their elias
sification is far from complete. The
structures exhibited are the nests of the
termite, and Mr.. William Deutenmuel-
Ter, the curator Of the department of
entomology. who has bestowed much
study on the subject, says they are the
only specimens of the kind in this coun-
try.
The largest of the nests, which in
reality is an ant hill, comes from the
United States of Colombia. 1t is con-
ical i'm shape. ard is composed of mud
and wood pulp. 1t is about six feet
high, and originally rested on the
ground. A cross section shows that
the interior contains innumerable
chambers and passageways. The other
specimens, of which there are two, are
displayed in their original positions
attached to parts of trees. One is pear
shaped and comes from Hayti, and the
other is irregular in form and was found
near Kingston, Jamaica.
The inhabitants of all three struc
ture possess similar characteristics, be
ing divided into four classes, known as
the males and females, the workers and
the soldiers. The males and females
have eyes and wings, which workers
and soldiers do not possess. The fe

GOLD IN GRAVES.
Some Accidental Discoveries of Treas
ure in the West

Many of the gold finds in the Klon-
dixie region have been purely acct
dental and some Of them were
decidedly interesting, though per-
haps not more so than many acct
dental finds in our own west in the
'40s and sos. Ii was before 1850
that three men, while looking for
gold in California, discovered the
dead body of man who evidently
had been prospecting" Poor fell
low!' said one of the trio. He has
passed in his checks!" LETS give
him a decent burial" said another
"Some wife or mother will be glad
if ever she knows it," They began to
dig a grave. Three feet below the
surface they discovered the signs of
gold. The stranger was buried in
another place, and where they located
grave they opened gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted
into Leadville awoke one morning
without food or money. He went out
and shot a deer, which, in its dying
agonies, kicked up the dirt and dis
closed signs Of gold. The poor man
staled out "claim" and opened one
of the most profitable mines ever
worked in Leadville,
Dead Man Claim" the name
given to another rich mine in Lead
vile, was discovered by a broken
down miner while digging grave. a
miner died when there we're several
feet Of snow on the ground. His
comrades laid his body in a snow
bank and hired man for 500 to dig
a grave. The grave digger, after
three days absence, was found dig
ging mine instead of a grave. While
excavating he had struck gold. For
getting the corpse and his bargain, he
thought only of the fact that he had
"struck it rich" - Philadelphia

WEALTH in COAL.
The United States Is Immensely Rich
in Its Buried Fuel.

The coal mined in the United
States each year is worth more than
asEhree times as much as the gold mined
here The product of the anthracite
fields alone exceeds in value the out
put of the gold mines of this country,
Canada and Alaska, which last year
amounted to over S55, 100000.
East of the Rocky mountains there
are 192, 900 square miles of coal lands
and the annual output is nearly 900,-
100000 tons. Biologists estimate
the great coal fields of the world as
follows: China, 100000; United
States, east of the Rockies, 10000;
Canada, $4,000; India, $4,000; New
South Wales, $4,000; Russia, 10000,
AID the United Kingdom, 1880
square miles. There are many de-
posts in, other countries, but their
extent is uncomfortable England's
coal area, as is shown above, is small,
still she for years produced more
than any other country.
Now the United States is ahead.
England coal veins are thin; one only
Ia inches wide has been worked ] 200
feet down. On the other hand, there
are veins in the Pennsylvania anthra-
cite region 60 feet thick, and in the
bituminous regions 1S feet thick,
Our Appalachian coal fields are the
largestlnown, and alone could supply
the whole world for centuries to come.
AT the present rate of production it
is estimated that our coal fields will
he exhausted in GIG years, while
those Of England viii last but 212
years. The first coal found in Amer
ica was near Ottawa, ILL.,, by Father
Hennepin, a French explorer, in
1879. 1t was first mined on the
Schuylkill during Washington's ad-
mipistration. Y. World

NEW MONKEY FAMILY.
A CURIOSITY Discovered in Africa
Known as the Gueroza.

Known as the Guercza.
r.. j w Gregory, Of The Natural
History Museum, Of London, reports
the discovery Of family Of African
monkeys that adds another curiosity
to tho wonders Of the ZOOS. provided
they are fortunate enough to obtain
specimens These monkeys are found
in certain districts of East Africa. and
pass most Of their time in the dense
forests clothing Mount Kilima Marc
and other districts Of that section,
SAYS the New York Herald
The black-stemned trees in which
they make their homes are thickly
draped with gray beard moss or Itch
en-, which reaches for several feet be-
low the boughs As the monkeys
hang from the branches, DIR. Gregory
says they so closely resemble the
lchen that he found it impossible to
recognize them even when only a
short distance away
These monkeys arc known to the
natives of certain districts of East
Africa by the name Of guereza. They
belong to the group of thumbless
apes which are restricted to the AZ
rican continent, where they take the
place Of the langurs, or sacred apes,
of India and other oriental countries.
From the other thumbless apes the
guerezas, or the species to which the
name properly applies, are distin-
guished by their long, silky black
and white coats, which are much
sought after by the natives of Africa
as articles of their scanty costume
and for purposes Of decoration.
In the typical Abyssinian guereza
the greater part of the fur of the body
and limbs is of Il deep, shining black,
but from the shoulders there depends
a mantle of long, white, silky hair,
extending down each side and meet
ing on the lower part of the back, so
rs to hang down over the sides of the
body as well as over the hips and
thighs. The terminal third of the
tail is also clothed with long white
hairs. Strikingly handsome as is this
species. it is excelled in this respect
by the East African guereza--the one
met with by Dr. Gregory-in which
the base ofthe tail alone is black, the
whole of the remainder of that APP
pendage being developed into mag
nilicent white brush, which may be
compared to an Indian chowri or fly
whisk
Black and white is a type of deco
ration so conspicuous and at the same
time so rare among the larger mann
mails, that whenever it occurs we NAV
be sure it is developed for some spe-
cial purpose, although, unless we have
an opportunity of seeing the animals
in their native haunts, it is almost
impossible to divine what that pur-
pose may be.

sUPBRsTlTIoUs TURKS.
They HAYS Some Beliefs of an Ex-
traordinary Kind.

Some Of the Turkish superstiiions
are of the most extraordinary nature.
For instance, if by any chance a
sparrow or swallow flies in at the
window and circles three times
around the room it is a sign that a
blood relation of some one present
is about to die. There aremany signs
and happenings that are supposed to
predict marriage.
When in summer bee flies in at
the window it is regarded as the
harbnger of good news, as is also
thistledown or Il beetle a moth
at night flying about light means
thoughts and good wishes from i'm
mortals; the unexpected brayng of a
donkey visit from an unpleasant ac-
quaintance. If man leaves his
home for business and walks along
the street and bird alights exactly
in front Of him three times, he turns
on his heel and goes home, and no
power short of an imperial frman
will make him pass that place again
that day, for he is sure that if he at
tempts TO do so something unpleas-
ant will happen to him. A dog run
ming three times across his path will
also turn him back.
When Turk is starting out upon
an important venture he will say to
himself "The issue will be as ! de-
sire it if the first three persons meet
have blue eyes" Blue eyes being far
less common than black, he takes the
chances, and sometimes sees the three
blue-eyed ones first. Augury is also
made from the forms of the clouds
and by entrails of fish, animals and
fowls, from orange pits and the odd
or even number of divisions in the
pulp. If a red orange be peeled by
accident the person feels great pleas
ure, rs that betokens prosperity and
gold.-Philadelphia Press.
