The evil of marihuana smoking appears
to increase rather than dimiHish among
the lower classes. but the mos; alarming
feature in connection with this course is
the growing use of the maddening weed
by the young. An Illustration of this was
given yesterday afternoon in the Gale de
las Damas, where Il young boy not much
over twelve years of age, who had been
crazed by smoking marihuara. was rum
ing wildly down the center of the thor

WARFARE AMONG ANTS.
(Continuer from Fourth Page. ]

warlike, which live in trees, and the big-headed fellows are employed as liv- ing shoppers to close up the small holes of entrance to the nest. One of the most remarkable engineering works of ants is a tunnel that has been made by a tribe oftheieaf- cutting species under the bed of the Parahyba river, near Rio, at a place where the stream men tioned is as broad asthe Thames at London Bridge. Not far from Para ants of this kind pierced the embank- ment of a large reservoir and the great body of water which it contained es- capped before the damage could be re- paired. These ants have been known to carry off the contents of a two bushel basket of mandioca meal in a single night, taking it grain by grain.
 While each nation of ants has it's standing army, the notion of an ant navy seems hardly credible. Yet a we1l-known naturalist says that on one occasion he saw a formidable body of military ants floating slowly down a stream, subsequently landing at a point of considerable distance below and proceeding on what appeared to be a. foray. It is a fact familiar enough that the worker ants, which make ID the main body of each community, are females undeveloped sexually. Like wise the big-headed soldiers seem to be abnormal females-a body of Amazons, in a word. The males among ants are pot of much account except for re- productive purposes, being matched out at certain seasons and dying in few days. The males have wings, and in some species the females possess wings also. The business of the queen ant is very much the same as that of queen bee: she lays all the eggs, and the workers look out for the feeding of the young when they have been matched. Worker ants in captivity have been known to live thirteen years.-Boston Transcript.

no doubt would have come in first but for the accident. Every race on the programme was fiercely contested, the scratch men in the handicaps not hav- ing chance for the prizes owing to the speedy field.
 Entries are coming rapidly for the second race meet of the New Haven Cycling club at Elm City Park next Friday, and the success of the past meet is more than assured for Friday. Most of the speedy riders who took part in the Waterbury meet are al- ready entered and the Waterbury crack riders will make the dust fly in the eyes of some of the cracks of this city. Records are surely to be broken and it behooves all those who wish to see fast riding not to miss these races. The Elm City championship cup, open to all city riders who have never won a prize, will have @ large entry list and as 1t is a handicap race, the boys will have as equal a chance as the handicapper can give them. Entries will close Wednesday night, so that all riders who have not yet en- tered will have a chance to do SD. Seats will be on sale in about twenty stores to-day and as the reserved seats are all numbered, those wishing to se- cure the best seats are advised to se cure them at once.

 bia Castle, K. G. E., In the Parade.
 Members of East Rock lodge, A. o.
 U. w., will hold their ne,-t regular
 son building, on Thursday evening.
 The hall is fully equipped for the com-
 doubt but that a large attendance will
 be present on the opening night, re-
 gardless of the hot weather. A sur
 prise awaits many who have no idea
 of the completeness of the new hall. Ali
 members of the order will be welcome
 in the opening night.
 On July 13 the hall will be dedicated
 and only members of East Rock lodge
 and their wives are invited and by
 ticket. The Degree of Honor lodge No. ? of Fair Haven will have charge of the refreshments. Members are requested
 to present their tickets at the door on the night of the dedication.

 Beach to remain a few days.

The companies turned out in large numbers, and the Lancraft Drum corps furnished music. The companies exhibited their new apparatus for the first time The Fair Haven companies
 were the only ffremen in line. Another local company parading was Columbia castle, No. 9, K. G. E., which turned out with good numbers, consid- ering the hot weather.

 Business gave way to patriotism yes- terday, the stores closing early, as well as the shops and other places of indus try. Fair Haven in the morning was represented in the center of the city by several thousand persons who went in to see the parade. There would have
 been another exodus in the evening to | witness the fireworks but for the 1 storm. There were several excursions | down the harbor in oyster steamers and sailing craft, and in the afternoon | a good1y number went out on the ex- cursion of the Richard Peck. The cele- l bration really began Sunday evening, when a large amount of powder was 1 burned, altogether too much to ensure i the usual amount of sleep. Altogether | Tndependence day was celebrated with more than the usual enthusiasm.
