The San Francisco call., 1897-07-18

As we'll as possessing many things of
great size, California can lay claim to
having within its borders the strongest
creature that lives-that is, when its size
is considered.
The creature referred to is the Califor-
MIA black ant. If ever you have been out
camping You will know all about MIN.
This, of course, does not mean that you
know how strong he is for that discovery
was made only few days ago. The ant s
great strength, however, has long been
an accepted fact of natural history.
1t has often been stated that an ant
could carry load equal to its own weight.
Some species were known that could carry
q load equal to twice their own weight.
But the California ant throws them all
into the shade, as the saying is, for this
fellow is capable of carrying with ease
load of six times his own weight And it
may be that he can carry more ii he would
try real hard.
The ant that possesses such great
str myth is known in different localities by
different names. The commonest of all is
black ant but besides this it is called
giant ant" "sting ant" and few other
names unnecessary to mention. In this
article the creature will be called the
black ant, for that is what scientists call
it when they are 100 tired to mention its
other name, which CO mes from the Latin.
OF course men who have been bitten by it
have called it names that were neither
Latin nor Greek. Just what they were is
a matter of no consequence; not now at
least.
At all seasons of the year the black ant
Is most pTomlscuous in all parts of Cali
tornia. In the winter he can be seen
climbing among the crevices OF rocks on
rainy days and over the trunks of trees
when 1t is warm enough 10 be out. In the
summer he frequents different localities,
out shows fondness for eli bing over
lunch baskets and into sugar bowls when
you are out camping or even off on
days picnic. In fact, picnics are said to
De this fellows delight. He usually starts
IN on the lunch that the picnickers bring,
ana then he starts in on the pcnickers
them selves, as can be told by certain
screams that issue from secluded portions
OF the forest at the most unex pected times
In size the black ant will measure about
three-tenths of an inch in length on the

highest salary ever paid travelling man,
and secured the country with Robert
Bridges, now a drummer himself, as his
secretary and thirty sample cases. One
night he gave dinner at restaur ant in
this City. He had invited fifteen guests,
but two failed to respond. Mr. Toile was
the thirteenth man, and as he entered the
room Mr.. Randolph, with gesture OF

resolving in his mind whether to sound
the retreat or advance, and then as his eye
sought the warm glow of the open fire, he
concluded, eff you have no objections,
I'll take an easy chair and wait by the
fire tonight. Let me have the first vacant
room, though"
And that from man who had graduated
from West Point!
In the morning some other guest not
so troubled was found and given room 49,
and Colonel Morrison satisfactorily
quartered. He died few years ago, and
probably solved some things that he had
his doubts about while here.
One night negro registered at an OBJ

The bands were blaring THE Bonny Blue

And the banners borne were a motley
drag
And wafchirg the gray column wind and
Vas slip of a girl-we'n call her
Jenny.
A slip of a girl-what need her name?-
With her cheeks aflame and her lips
acquiver.
AS she leaned and looked with loyal
shame
At the steady flow of the steely river;
Till storm grew black in the hazel
Time had not tanned. nor lover sighed
for:
Ard she ran and she girded her. apron
With the flag she loved and her brothers
died for.
Out OF the doorway they saw her start
The hot little foolish hero-heart
Armored with stars and the sacred
blue.
Clutching the folds of red and white
Stood she and bearded those ranks of
theirs,
Shouting shrilly with all her might.
Come and take it, the man that
Pickett's Virginians were passing
through;
Supple as steel and brown as leather,
Rusty and dusty of hat and shoe.

As the firm lines iickered with friendly
And Greencastle streets gave back the
That Gettysburg slopes gave back soon

So they cheered for the flag they fought
With the generous glow of the stubborn
Loving the brave as the brave man ought.
And never a finger was raised TO
So they marched, though they knew it
Through the fresh green June TO the

And the charee that has Won them a

And she felt al last as she hid her face.
There had lain at The root of her childish

And a secret faith in the foes forbear-

SHORT SUITS IN WHIST.
A Daring Innovation Has Cropped
Up Lately.

up Lately.
From whist Fads." by "Cavendish. -
in the July Scribner's: The most dar-
ing innovation on accepted whist prin-
c,ples. which has cropped up lately. is
the practice OF leading originally from
a short suit in preference TO a long one.
1t is claimed for short-suitism thai il
gives an opportunity of making small
tTumps by rUffling, and NAV tend TO
the establishment of a cross-ruff. and
that it may result in having strong
suits, and especially tenace suits, led
to ~ the adversary. Now this per-
fectly true; but the plan renders it al
most impossible for short suffers to
bring in long suits, and may mean
While have assisted the adversaries to
bring in theirs. 1t is not denied that
guerilla tactics sometimes gain tricks:
but ii remains to be shown that they
gain more on the balance than the rec
oenized informatory long-suit game.
The problem is of such extreme COM
pleXity that no proof can be offered.
The investigator is, therefore, driven TO
seek the opinions of experienced writ
ers and players. This, il is admitted,
is not so satisfactory as a demonStra-
ton would be: but when demonstra-
ton cannot be had, the only course left
open is to consult authorities. From

wellnigh the unanimous opinion of eX
perts that the original lead should be
from the strongest suit; and it has
been stated (but on what authority
seems doubtful that about 80 per cent
of American whist players continue to
adhere to the long suit game. 1t is con-
trary to all human experience that so
large a percentage should be wrong.
1t is conceded that there may be eX
ceptional hands: a system based on
exceptions is not one to be regarded
favorably. as a rule, when submitted
TO the test of common sense.
