ANTS PAY SPIDERS
For the Work They Do In Building
Nests.

Nests.
We all know that certain species of
ants employ as slaves smaller insects of
their own kind. Others keep insects to
milk as we do cows. But perhaps the
most astonishing discovery of all is the
latest one, that there is in Australia a
green ant which, though very clever in
the building of its nest. appears to con-
slider it an irksome duty, and SO employs
another insect 20 90 this work for 1t.
A small spider is, therefore, trained to
act as servant in all things. The
green ants pay the spiders for their la
bors in coin that they enjoy. 1t is by
giving them to eat portion of the in
Vulnerable little eggs that they (the ants)
lay. This is a most agreeable arrange
ment for all, man included, as otherwise
the green ants would rival the rabbits in
overrunnng Australia.

says: No baby that ever came to thu
city has attracted such widespread at
tention as the diminutive bit of human
ity that has just been born to Mr.. and
Mrs. George F. King, of No. 800 Clark
son street. Visitors are numerous and
the little one has been looked upon curl
ously by the young men, lovingly by the
young ladies' and admiringly by the older
folks.
Meanwhile the father and mother re-
celve the congratulations and gaze upon
the midget yOungster With proud pa
rental eyes. King is shoemaker. he
is employed in factory and has small
but comfortable home.
The little one was weighed with its
clothes on and proved to weigh little
less than two pounds. 1t is perfectly
formed and healthy, and the attending
physician says that barring unfores cen
troubleit will live and eventually grow
to the normal size.
The mother is large and strong
woman, and when the babe is lying in
bed besides her it seems more like a doll
than real live child.

INJUNCTION PRAYED FOR.

Objection Made to Distribution Of
Won Essen Funds.
In connection with the recent passage Of
an act of Congress, authorizing the Com
mssioners of the District of Columbia to
accept the bequest of the late Peter Won
Essen, originally for the use of the public
white schools of that portion of the Dis
trict formerly known as Georgetown, a
bill in equity for an injunction was filed
today. The act authorized the Commis-
s:cners to accept the pequest, amounting
to $12,057.24. and directed that the funds
be distributed amoEg the heirs OF the tes-
tator, share and share alike.
The bill was filed by John T. Mitchell,
who names as defendants Stephen E. Es-
sex, Francis B. Essex, Hattie G. Ruben
acker and George c. Rubenacker, and Jno.
w. Ross, John B. Wight and William NJ.
Black, the three latter in their capacity as
District Commissioners. After reciting the
facts connected with the death of Peter
Won Essen and the provisions of his will,
Mitchell states that May l, 1896, he was
given power of attorney by the de-
PENDANTS mentioned, not including the CON-
missioners, authorizing him to prosecute
their claim to the fund, and agreeing 20
Fay him 33 1-3 per cent of what might he
collected 1t Is added that later the COM
plainant was notified by the defendants
tfat they had revoked the power of attor-
ney.
Mr.. Mitchell goes on to say that he has
been engaged upon the case for seven
years, and was chiefly Instrumental in con-
vincing Congress of the justice of the re-
lief asked. He claims that he acquired
such an interest in the fund as rendered
the power of attorney irrevocable. There
fore, the court is asked to restrain the
Commissioners from paying over the fund;
that the complainant may be declared to
have lien upon the fund to the extent of
SO 1-3 per cent; that the defendants be de-
creed to pay the complainant $4,019.OS, and
that receiver be appointed to collect the
fund and hold it subject to the order of
the court.
Messrs. Walter D. Davidge John Ridout
and Jesse H. Wilson are the solicitors for
the complainant.
