Killed by Ants.

An exchange tells of a man in AUS
ralia who was killed by ants. Such an
occurrence is said not to be so very un-
common IN that country. 1t is describ-
ed as more dreadful than the horrors
devised by the most ingenious of the
Grand Inqutsitors.
The man was a prospector. and while
digging in the side of q hill was injur-
ed by a fall.of earth. As he lay partly
covered and unable to move, he was ut
tackled by q nest of ants, and for more
than an hour millions of the v~oracious
insects simply fed upon him. He died
shortly after being rescued.
There is a case on record of a Balla-
rat wood carter who was found under
his overturned dray, suffering fearful
torrents. He had been attacked by
ants. and would certainly have sue
cumbed had it not been for his dog.
The animal, a cattle dog, only discov-
cred what was wrong after several
hours, ana then, by persistently
scratching at the stream of ants on the
ground and licking them from his mas
ter's face and arms, kept him compara-
lively free till help arrived.

vastatcd by the hurricane and later was
flooded by the Arecibo and Manati riv-
ers. Two hundred bodies have already
been recovered and it is thought that
hundreds more Of persons missing have
been swept out to sea by the flood. The
