yards. The tallest measured forty feet
in height and it's base, which was ir-
regular had a circumference of more
than eighty feet, being twenty-five feet
long, and about fifteen feet thick The
others varied in height and depth, the
smallest having it's apex scarcely four
feet above the ground. The clay which
formed them was hard; the outer sur
face, even after it's exposure to the hot
sun and heavy rains, was firm and did
not crumble These big heaps of dirt
felt like solid stone when touched.
The traveller had with difficulty dug
into the side of one of them, and was
in the act of cracking off the side
of smaller spire with a cudgel. when
one of the bushmen, noticing him
called out: "Say, there, mister stop
that"
"Why?" the experimenter asked.
"If you open that stink-pot there'l1
be no use tryin to eat in this paddock.
It'll smell like mashed ants until it'll
make us sick at the stomach for days"
When his guides had explained the
effect of the pungent fumes of the
formic acid on the inquisitive new
chums" who tamper with ant-hills,
their charge quickly desisted: but a de-
lapidated mound further on enabled his
curious eye to inspect the interior Iaby-
rinth of these engineering little insects;
and the work showed an intelligence
as amazing as was the size of the outer
structure. There were chambers, nests
galleries, storage rooms. and cells
which 1t must have taken millions of
workers years to construct But the
fortress was deserted. 1t had evidently
been ten feet high and the big pieces
lay about like honey-combed terracot-
ta, much worse for wear.
These monster ant-hills extended for
more than fifty miles through that
struggling eucalyptus forest. They are
said by old "swagmen" to extend for
hundreds of miles without break in the
northern and western gulf country Of
Australia.
In digging for water in the vicinity
of the mounds. workmen have cut
through tiers of passages at depths Of
from six to twenty feet, and as much
as three hundred yards from the spires.
Often the digging had to be abandoned
for fear of communicating the water.
In one place in the Peak Downs coun-
try the earth had been so perforated
with these ant bores that the diggers
incontinently fled from the horrible eff
fiuvia which the earth emitted. It
seems that the ants had so perfectly
cemented their little subterranean pas
sages that they became round flues;
when cut they looked like quills of ter
racotta drawn through the earth.
The appearance of this cobweb of ant
tracks in the ground has led to the
statement that those areas are simply
a bed of ants; but this is the reverse
of the fact. The ant lives only in the
hills, and merely drills out the earth
for building material. The traveller
who investigated this subject conclud-
ed with the remark:
"Well, Australia beats the world. 1t
has O. white ant which eats up a whole
house, leaving only the outer shell.
and dark ant that eats up the earth,
leaying it also mere she'll"

ELLEN OSBORN'S FASHION LETTER.

New York, Feb. 25.-The little dress
maker and the engaged girl made a
tour of the shops yesterday. Both We're
happy; they were shopping for the
trousseau. The little dressmaker took
the engaged girl from counter to coun-
ter and showed her woven air" and
"woyen wind" delicate and transpar-
ent summer tissues, more filmy than
apy muslin. They looked at "microbe"
nets with fine, irregular meshes, and at
striped and plaided silks patterned like
"go-bang" boards and combining reds,
greens, blues, and yellows so vivacious-
ly that nothing short of breakfast
food advertisement could countenapce
their colors.
The little dressmaker caused the en-
gagged girl to notice how soft and pill
able are the spring wool goods for easy
draping, and how popular is the old
fashioned tarlatan. They pulled over
stuffs for day wear and evening wear
till the counters ran pink in twenty
shades and forty materials and dripped

cranberry jelly color. The little dress
maker tiptoed her way to certain rooms
where new French models were to be
peeped at, and let the engaged girl see
how long the shoulder seam Is now u
be cut, so that the modern athlete and
Amazon may give her muscles the lie
with an aesthetics sloping shoulders.
They inspected sleeves severely tight
and bare of ornament, and stood before
skirts planned to give slim, picket
fence result, by means Of trailing
draperies, closely fitted.
They looked at the revived Yak laces,
at the huge picture buttons that come
with the Louis styles and at hundreds
of other things it would take a page of
type to mention; then the little dress
maker cried out in her enthusiasm

and a white apron watching you meas

So they sat down at round table
in a restaurant to consider samples,
and the little dressmaker sketched and
added figures and rubbed out and made
more sketches on the corners Of the bill
of fare.
"I don't believe you can do better"
she said, with brows knit and pencil
poised, "than to have your travelling

bands like blue better than any other

BAD BOYS MADE
ELECTRICIANS.

The State OF New York has opened
the path of learning that leads to
science to the boys for whom it is
forced to care. AS result of this, the
electric department of the State Indus
trial School at Rochester is a constant
object lesson to those who believe that
boys who have once started upon life
that pointed toward am evil ending can
not be made good citizens.
1t was good deal of venture at
first, but every day is now showing the
wisdom of the movement The, cleo
trical machinery that furnishes the
electric light for this institution is prac-
tically operated entirely by boy cleo
tricians, there being, of course, several
instructors to give the boys counsel
and be present in case of an emergency
When the plant was first put in it
furnished 1900 lights for the buildings,
but this number was increased to over
1000, and the source of light from 10
horsepower motor to four 5-horse-
power one 15-horse-pow one 1O-horse-
power and two 2-horse-power motors
The additional motors. with the excep-
tion of the 10-horse-power, were all de-
signed and built at the school by the
vice.
These boys, most of them declared in
corrigible when they were sent to the
school, set up and aligned 50-horse-
power engine. They also changed the
electric wires from overhead to under
ground, and conducted the operation
with such care that no shut down of
the plant was necessary,-a feat which
J,o1 tnd e1r;
electricians.
The experience of the boys is made aus
varied as possible. The repairing done
is as different as the many electrical
appliances call for. Every bit of this,
except the repairing of the testing in
struments. is done by the boys. This
includes repairs of motors, the wiring
of chandeliers, the rewriting of new de-
partments, caring for bell circuits, re-.
pairs on arc lamps and the trimming of
the same. Not only do the boys per-
form all the work in the electrical field
proper, but all that is directly connect
ed with it as well. This includes en-
gine work, caring for fans that are run
by motors, and the wiping and clean
ing of machinery in the power house.
The cardinal principle of the instruc-
tors is to trust the boys. Much of the
work is placed entirely In their hands.
With experience gained and under
proper instruction, they have handled
many tasks entirely alone and greatly
to the satisfaction of the management
of the school.
The result of all this is that every
boy whom it is found has bent in the
direction of electrical work is given
an opportunity to develop along this
line. The results have been astonish-
ing and even now, a number of the
boys who went to the school hopeless
and without ambition bid fair to be-
come electricians of a high order.

grey cloth or the white or the putty
color. The white? Very well. You are
tall enough to stand some trimming on
your skirt. I don't recommend trimmed
skirts to all my customers, even If
everybody is wearing them. Suppose
you have two fluffed-out ruchings of
silk; set them in a deep point in front
and behind, half way down. Black
would be the most effective For the
waist would have narrow ruchings of
black, or of green if you prefer, to out
line square yoke of the white cloth.
The rest of the bodice I would make of
this apple green glace covered with
string colored lace ruffies. You want
close white sleeves and folded waist
band of green silk fastening at the back
under a paste buckle and hanging to
the ground in chiffon trimmed sash
ends. 1t is great mistake to have
your sash too short or too wide. Long
and rather narrow ones are the most
becoming. AS to quantities, with your
skirt length"
"How can you remember any meas
ures?"
How do you remember where you
left off in book? know all the meas
ures of every customer 1 ever fitted
But for that other calling or reception
dress you wanted what do you say to
this soft, powder blue chiffon? It's not
durable for daylight wear, but trous-
seaux aren't expected to be indestruct-
ible. The prettiest spring dresses in
chiffon have cream white lace ap-
pliques in flower patterns half way
from tho 70 ha ictl
the waist you would want puffed yoke
and sleeves and a huge pink tulle neck
bow. You don't like powder blue?
Pinkish mauve then or mignonette with
bow of cerise tulle.
eff you need one of the spring silks
for theatre wear or for daylight, take
one of those fleur de velour novelties SC
sheeny that they look almost laminated
with silver. The coral and white is
wonderfully pretty. You could have a
| fanciful collar with coral ornaments
and coral buttons. Groups of puffs OF
shirrings, set at wide intervals, would
trim the skirt handsomely.
"Of course. tea gown. The prettiest
thing you can have is blouse and
plain skirt in pink crepe de chine with
darker belt of velvet; over this a lace
| yoke, shaped like a short bolero, from
which hangs an outside princess dress
of a gauzy, transparent tissue. Then
for evening dresses"
| But here the engaged girl said she
mustn't get too tired, because her
evenings belonged to "Dick'' more thar
to dresses. So the little dressmake1
swept the samples into her shopping
bag and took the girl home with he1
to try on things bought on a previous
expedition. The dressmakers Boy, age6
three. looked up at the slim young fig
ure in the beautiful half finished brida
gown and said gravely.

ing up, the traveller peered through the
struggling low forest and exclaimed:
why, here are the ruins of an old
town.
His companions simply laughed.
Cant you see the high, broken walls
there?" he demanded somewhat piqued
at their levity.
His anger stirred their mirth still fur
ther.
Them amt no ruins, mate; them's

"Heh!" the traveller grunted, staring
at the bushmen.
They were familiar enough to the
first settler who had bumped his
swag" and hooked it on those hot
plains for years. The great mounds
stretched up far above the lower
branches of the trees From where the
traveller sat they looked like broken
columns; others resembled bifurcated
spires, and unfinished bastions and
parapets. Little mounds squatted here
and there like the drums of a Maori
graveyard, broken at the top by the
weather and long exposure.
In the village nearest the camp fire,
there were sixty spires of these colos-
sal hills within a radius of two hundred

and attended one of it's meetings The
boys had evidently learned from the
older men how to conduct a meeting,
for everything was done in due order.
1t was decided to ask the Weavers
Union for recognition,-which was af-
terward granted. This means that
while the strike lasts the backboys
as well as other workers will be able
to draw on the full treasures of the
older associations. In case there Is a
strike in some other district after they
go back to work, they may be asked to
contribute twenty-five cents per week
from their wages to help support those
strikers; but so firm is their faith in
the benefits of their Union that they
will willingly give up one-tenth of their
scanty earnings for it's sake.
