Senior Polo's Departure from Washington.
The ultimatum OF the United States to
Spain was delivered to Minister Polo
soon after IL O'Clock Wednesday. The
minister was prepared for action, and to
the same state department messenger
who brought the ultimatum Senior Polo
delivered note to the secretary OF state,
saying that bis position in Washington
had become untenable and asking for his
passports. He further said that Spanish
interests in Washington would be cared
for by the French ambassador and the
Austrian minister.
A so p. m. colored messenger from
the state department called at the Span
ish legation and gave the passports to
Senior Polo. They were accompanied by
note from Secretary Sherman which
closed with an expression OF deep regret
that the minister had felt called upon to
take this step.
Senior Polo and six members OF his staff
left Washington at 7.30 Wednesday
night, going bv way of the Pennsylvania
railroad to Buffalo and thence to Toronto.
From there they will 60 to Halifax to
take an ocean liner.
These were the ambassadors parting
words on leaving Washington: II re
gard war as certainty, because Spain
has come to the last degree of humilia-
ton and will never accept any conditions
contrary to her sovereignty over Cuba ;
never while Spaniard lives. The war
will last until Spain has shown America
her superiority. America should have

EieIdinC'S "TOm Jones'"

Fielding, having finished the manu-
script Of Tom Jones' and being hard
pressed for money, took it to a second
rate publisher with view Of selling it
fer what he could get at that moment.
He LETT it and called the next day for
the decision. The bookseller heSitated
and requested another day for consider
alton, and at parting Fielding offered
his manuscript for 923.
On his way home Fielding met
Thomson. the poet, whom he told CT
the negotiation for the sale Of his book.
Thomson, knowing the high merit OF
the work, conjurcd him to give up the
bargain and offered to find 4 better pub
Usher The next day Fielding hastened
to his appointment with much appre-
benSiCn lest the bookseller should insist
upon making 4 bargain. To his great
joy, the ignorant tratlicker in literature
declined and returned the manuscript.
Fielding set eff with light heart to
his friend Thomson, who gave the book
to Millar, the great publisher Of the
day. Millar handed it to his wife, and
she advised him by no means to lvt it
slip through his fingers. The publisher
then invited the two friends to meet
him at a coffee house in the Strand,
where, after dining, he offered Fielding
goo for his book. The author was
amazed at the masnidcence of the offer,
and, recovering from the surprise of his
unexpected stroke of fcrtane, said:

fact is ncv generally known IL business
circles that us, 81 teas came to the
United States from Sicily i'll 1887 and
that the year Before tie importation
was even larger.

from Sicily, and to a great extent from

large importers in it.: crude form only,
and these dispose Of it to the manufac-
turers, by whom it is subjected to proc
csses which eliminate the Gross and
bring to the surface its valuable proper
ties. 1t is used by the manufacturers OF
fertilizer materials and sulphuric acid,
and large quantities are consumed by
the manufacturers Of wood pulp and pa

The birthstone goes III great Qrantl-
ties, also, to the Sulphur reiiners, and
after it becomes sulphur it plays an I'M
portant part iG the manufacture OF vul-
canixed rubber. The addition CT sui
phur to plastic rubber, vulcanizing the
mass between two tin sheets as al eX-
pertinent, gave to the world the valu-
able commodity known as hard rubber,
and no substitute has yet been found for
the yellow dust i'll the process.
The brimstonG statistics show that
the United States receives more CT the
material than any other country. For
the same time that rs, 131 tons reached
the ports OF New York, Baltimore, Phil

were made from Sicily to other parts Of
the world: France, 81, S9j tons; Italy,

The wine growing districts of Europe
use large quantities of the material TO
destroy the insects which attack the

are employed the most careful growers

Ants and Their Mix Cows.

The fact that ants used aphlds for
milk COWS was discovered nearly cen
fury ago. but the special care given TO
their live stock has been a subject OF
more recent study. Almost any che may
have observed ants running up and
down the trunks of trees and shrubs. IL
is no joy of climbing nor desire for
wide outlook that leads the ants to as
cend trees, but because the leaves Ct the
trees afford pasturage for their small
cattle, the aphidS. These little creatures
exude voluntarily drops Of sweet liquid
known as honeydew. The process Of
milking is this: The ant comes up to
the aphid and pats it Gu the back with
her antennse, ae which the hat'erCd and
pleased aphid gives forth the hohey-
dew, which the ant eats with every sign
of enjoyment.
1t might seem at first glance that the
benefits of this relationship accrue only
to the ants However, this is not the
case. The ants are fierce defenders OF
their flocks and make it very uncom-
Portable for the many insect enemies CT
the aphids. Some species of ants build
sheds over the aphids upon the trees,
and other species remove them to the
safety of their own nests, but the special
claim of the ants as aphid protectors
lies in the care Of the aphid eggs, which
are shown as much attention as their

The Paper Makers.

One morning in early summer, while
standing beside al old rail fence watch
in. some COWS that were cropping the
grass, NV attention was attracted by the
pecuIiar movements Of a wasp that set
tied on the rail beside me- The rail was
covered with Il light gray fuzz CT woody
fiber, beaten up from the d'cayinS wood
BY the excessive soakings ,t had T%celv-
ed from the long spring rains, ana When
the wasp had gathered as much of THIS
as he could carry he slowly flew away.
In q short time there were 4 dozen or
more Of those industrious pulp gather
ers at work on the old rail, and as fast
as each Of them obtaiEcda a load away he
flew III tho direction Of clump OF
bushes that grew beside small stream.
My curiosity was aroused, ana L de-
termincd to find out if possible what
they were doing with such quantity
of fiber, and approaching the thickct
cautiously soon discovered them at
work Oh good sized nest which hung
from the limb Of Il white beech sapllng.
I was able TO get quite near it, for wasps
are not apt to be quarrelsomc If left
alone, and these were too busy to take
heed Of anything except their work.
AS fast rs their loads were deposited
they few down to the brock, and hay
ing "wct their whistles returned to
the nest and set about beating tho fiber
into thin sheet, which was so deity
joined to the main body OF the nest that
the jointure was imperceptitle. There
vas constant throug CT workers con-
ing and going, the objective points be-
ing the nest, the old fence and the
brook, aud while each addition to the
structure was only the tiniest mite, set
it grew perceptibly under the united
efforts Of these little builders. Cur Ami

At the time when Raphael possessed
at Rome the reputation Of being the

Francois EraLcia held first place among
his Eolognese countrymen as an artist
and was undoubtedly man Of talent.
The two artists had never met, nor had
they seen each others woGk, but hav-
ing heard Of each other they opened a
friendly correspondence, which ccntin-
Ecd between them. The desire Of Fran
