"0ne of the most interesting sights

army Of ants marching through q South
American Jungle. | had been out all
Gay hunting butterflies with a native
guide, and, almost overcome by the in
tense heat, had stretched myself out
beneath a great mass of vines which
hung from a large tree, when / noticed
a column of ants moving along at my
feet.
There was nothing remarkable in
this, as il vas an ant country, where
they literally oyerran everything; but
these ants, as though recognizing the
tropical heat, each bore a highly-col-
cred umbrella in such a position that
it was more or less a shield and pro-
lection. The umbrella was a bit of
a leaf that had been carefully bitten out
in a semi-oYal shape, and was an UNI
hrella in fancy only, hundreds being
carried 10 line a subterranean nes.,
deep in the heart of the Jungle
''One Of these nests" continued the
naturalist, Il found by following up
the train, ard saw the saubas, as these
ants are called, pouring into it, each
holding the umbrella. which was about
as large as a ten-cent piece, vertically.

wall, as a thatching, and covered them
with globules of earth. Some of the
nests built in this way are two feet

THE PROBLEM NOT NEW.
Horseless Carriages in England Six
ty-Five Years Ago.


It is interestin to remember that
nearly 60 years ago horseless car
riages showed every sign of being
the common method of travelling in
London and the surrounding neigh
borhood, for although at that time
restrictions had been put upon
steam carriages in the country,
these vehicles were quite familiar
sight in the metropolis. The inven-
tor was Mr.. Walter Hancock, a
Stratford man, who in 1871 brought
out an omnibus OF his own design,
which was both elegant and in ac-
cordance with the comfort of trav-
elers. Companies were very soon
formed to work the new idea, !" the
object of one being to rua from Pad
dington to Brighton, AID Hancock
contracted to supply tie necessary
rolling stock.
In few years coaches were regu-
larly running from the city to most
of the important suburbs, but owing
10 BAD management the concerns
did not last very long. In 1885 the
journey from London to MARI
borough Go miles) was performed at
the average speed Of seven and one
half miles an hour, aud the journey
to Birmingham was accomplished in
a much faster average time about
ten niles. This was rot the highest
speed that could be attained, how
ever, for the records state that a
vehicle carrying number of pas
sengers travelled mi along one of
London's principal thoroughfares at
the rate Of p miles an hour. 1t is
well, perhaps, that this speed was
only maintained for one mile, for
even in 1886 it was dangerous rate
of travelling. No fewer than IL, 700
passengers were carried over 4, 900
miles by steam IN the last few
months Of 1886 Westminster Ca
zette.

Professors, Salaries.

policy TO secure eight or ten of the
best men in the country by offering
them the unprecedented salary of

thus favored for special reason at
the beginning, other salaries have
been Fixed upon about the scale that
obtains at Yale, Harvard and half a
