Professor BOnatelli, in q note to the
Venetian Institute. relates an incident

by the latter. He cut the end twig,
making a gap of about half an inch be-
tween the tree and the wall, so that the
ants could no longer pass. At the end
Of half an hour they found out that
another twig Of the tree. when moved
by the breeze, came In contact with the
wall every now and then. They imnle-
iiately took advantage Of this flying
bridge and reformed their procession,
waiting each time for the moment of
contact In order to Dass-

A Chapter on Croxns.

From the earliest times the crown
has been an emblem Of high honor and
authority. Originally, 1t was simply
a fillet of leaves, and was used by the
ancients in the observance Of religious
rites and festivities.
The ancient royal diadem" was a
head d-band or fllet, worn by kings as a
mark of regality. 1t was made of silk.
of thread, or Of wool, and was wound
around the temples and the forehead
and tied behind, the ends falling on the
neck.
In ancient Rome the crown was usu.
ally made Of laurel leaves. and was Civ
en- as a reward for courageous deeds
Among the Greeks, 1t was a symbol Of
Office and a token Of victory. 1t was
bestowed upon victors in the Grecian
games and also upon citizens that had
rendered the country important service
The corona obsidionalis" was the
crown most highly priced; 1t was be-
slowed by a besieged army, or town.
upon the general that came to their
rescue.
The civic crown, made Of oak leaves
and acorns, was given to any soldier
that saved the life Of a citizen. It en-
titled the soldier to a seat next to the
Senators on all public occasions. AMI
he. his father. and his grandfath.,,
were exempted from all public bur
6ens.
The corona muralis" was q circlet
of gold surrounded by turrets, and was
given as a reward to the first one enter
ing a beleaguered city. The corona
triumphalis'' was the reward given to
q triumphant general.
At first the Papal crown was a plain,
pointed cap. Pope Hormisdas added
the first crown, Boniface VIII. the Sec
ond, and John XXI. the third, thus
making it triple crown.
A cOronet Is a small crown worn by
members of the nobility. The coronet
of duke Is adorned with eight straw

four strawberry leaves alternating with
four pearls; that Of an earl with eight

Roae.Tinced Snow

The rosy light which tinges 80 bean
hfully the sumimts Of lofty snow clad
mountains, In Alpine regions. before
sunrise and after sunset, is due to the
circumstance that the yellow and red
rays Of light have more penetrating
,ower than the blue. They make their
way through stretches of the atmos-
phere, which entirely arrest and turn
back the blue. and they do this the
more especially II the air Is laden at
the time with extraneous particles that
angment their opacity. When the sun
Is below the horizon. the red and yel-
low rays struggle ON through the air
as far as the snowy heights, dropping
their associates by the way, and thus
paint their fieecy surfaces with red and
yellow tinted light. This roseate after
glow is very beautifully seen exhibited
by the Jungfrau. The broad-based cone
is suddenly covered In the deepening
twilight with the crimson hue of the
rose, and this then gradually fades un-
til the whole has almost vanished into
darkness.
