ARGENTINA ANTS.
Common Way of Destroying Them is by a
Furnace.

A common way of destroying the ants
In Argentina is by means of a small
metal cylindrical furnace half filed with
aay dry, intlamm BILE rubbish, and in
the top pan suspended containing 6ow-
ers of sulphur, says Temple Bar. When
lighted lid is screwed down over this
SO that the smoke can only issue from a
bent metal tube. which conducts it to
the ant hole. A pair Ut bellows, worked
by handle, IL attached to the lower
part of the furnace, thus making the
fire burn and forcing the sulphurous
SIN oke along the ant passages. The
whols apparatus is suspended on wheels
and can thereby be conveniently moved
from part to part Of the quinta. With
this instrument such volumes of su1o-
eating smoke can soon ba produced that
it will often be issuing thickly from
holes 200 or 800 yards distant. So you
may imagine the ants have a somewhat
lively time Of it-or, perhaps rather q
deadly one.
In spite. however, of waging war
against them they multiply SO rapidly
that it is only where the gardeners fight
them very energetioally that thoy can be
kept down, and the amount Of damage
they do is often appalling. Wheu up
country on the border OF the g brand Cha
CO, where, of course, these insects work
their own sweet will. the writer once
discovered deserted wooden hut. In
cautiously leaning against the structure,
he WIS surprised to see the whole of II
collapse, But on examination he found
the ress son to be that every portion OF the
wood work had lieen perforated aud un.
dermined by the ants and only required
very slight touch to crum bic into ruins
The inroads Of the ants had probably
been tho cause Of abandoning the hut.

The Biddeford journal is strongly OPP
posed to state examination and certifi-

themselves as carefully as before as to
what teachers they employ; she had Il

about her, will become town board g
answer to indignant people in district

in everything save book learning. We
imagine there will be plenty of obtec-
turs besides the Journal to the state

to control their own schools and to
select the teachers Of them with
