irne Ants Intelligence.

German physiology is attacking the
intelligence of the ant. Professor Bethe
of Strassburg thinks he has found a
purely materialistic reason for fheir
recognizing each other. He cleansed
ants taken from one hill in a solution
of alcohol, dipped them in decoction
made of ants from another hill and
placed them in the strange hill They
were not attacked as strangers, even
when of different color and conforma-
tion. On the other hand, ants treated
in this manner when put back in their
own hills were not recognized by their
tribe, but at once attacked and killed.
Professor Bethe infers from this that
ants must give out some liquid whose
odor guides them and that each colony
must have its own peculiar smell. He
goes further and assumes that the odor
emitted is different in going from and
returning to the nest His test was to
cut out &. section in an ant path and to
swing it half round circle till the ends
joined the path again directly opposite
their former position. When the ants
came to the break, they were complete
ly bewildercd but as soon as the sec
tion was swung back into its original
position found their way again without
trouble

Beer Money and Churches.

a hundred years ago there were no
temperance societies or bands Of hope,
nor Rechabites and blue ribbon army.
To be as ''drunk as lord" was the
height of human felicity 1t was the
age OF '.three bottle men, Of convivial
toasts. of drinking songs. Even the
church indirectly encouraged intemper-
ance. There We're certain districts where
at Whitsuntide the churchwardens
We're accustomed to levy contributions
of malt from the parishioners. This was
brewed into strong ale and sold in the
church The Whitsuntide topers had,
however. pious method in their mad
ness.
The money spent on the beer was ex-
pended by the churchwardens in church
maintenance, and the 1nuddled roister-
ers no doubt believed themselves to be
pillars of the church even when, under
the Influence of its alcohol, they rolled
upon its pavement. They thought
themselves supporters of the church
when they wanted supporting them
selves, and deemed themselves most
sanity when they were most soddened.
Until as recently as 1927 (when the Ii
cense was withdrawn) church and
public house were covered by one roof
at Deepdale, midway between Derby
and Nottingham. A door that could be
opened at will served to separate the
consecrated interior Of the church from
the common taproom of the tavern!-

London's Year of Princes.

The allusion by Archbishop Temple
to 1916 as a year when "sovereigns
were coming one after another to Eng
land as quiet sort of place where they
would Bot be assassinated, - and when
one London hotel proprietor said "he
was quite full up with kings and royal
dukes, but that he had one small back
bedroom, and as the pope was bache-
lor he might come and occupy it, F." re-
calls an occasion eight years earlier,
when for wholly different reason a
similar influx of distinguished foreign
ers took place. The attraction IN 1885
was, of course, the queens coronation.
Writing to his sister on the eve of this
event, Disraei said;

princes in the last named crib on third

Avn Emnlre of snxnges.

There now remain only one people
and one little valley south of the equator
whose sovereignty has not been claimed
by some European power. 1t is the val
ley of Barotse, 80 or GO miles wide,
north of Lialui. in South Africa.
And the only reason why the Marotse,
who inhabit it, have preserved their in
dependence is that England and Portu-
gal both claim it, and therefore the
work of civilization is at "a standstill.
1t may not be so easy to conquer the
Marotse when the time comes, for they
are tall, well set up race, albeit ver7
black in skin. In manners they are
courteous and in bearing dignitied.
Every full blooded Marotse is by birth
q chief and takes his place in the aris-
tocracy Of the empire.
The bare fact that he is Il Marotse in
sures the respect OF the subservient
tribes; and us he grows to manhood a
sense of superiority usually implants in
the native the dignity OF self respect. =

attention to her boys teeth, which
were entirely without enamel, and said,

me to discover, during the time my boy
was producing his teeth, both first and

The first member os The reformed par
lament reprovel by tine chair for IN
seemly language was Daniel O Connell,
the great Irish agitator The incident,
which occurred in the first week of the
meeting of the house of commons, is also
remarkable for having evoked from the
speaker definite ruling on an interest
ing constitutional point. The speech
from the throne called attention,
among other things, to the insecurity of
life and property in Ireland, and asked
for coercive measures for the repression
of crime. In the course Of the debate
O'Connell characterized the speech from
the throne as ''brutal and bloody"
Lord John Russell at once moved that
the words be taken down. ''Oh!" ex-
claimed O. O'Connell, "when we speak Of

Lord John Russell objected to the
word "bloody" being applied to a
speech which had, only a few days pre-

William IV-in person in the house OF
lords. O'Connell insisted that it was
not the speech Of the king, but the
speech of the ministers. The speaker
agreed with the honorable and learned

To- he the right man in the right place.
He and the General have been much
together ever since the opening OF the
Philippine campaign.
He said on Sunday. in reference to
General Otis and the conduct OF affairs
in the Philippines:
General Otis has displayed marked
ability in every move he has made;
the very difficult conditions prevail
ing. The Filipinos are treacherous lit
tie fellows and will not come out in
the open and fight. If a bunch Of
them are hemmed in they simply dis

Not a move either In civil or mill
tary affairs is made in the Philippines
other than under the direct and inn
mediate control of General Otis. The
General has been greatly handicapped
during the last few months by having
TO change his entire army. No man in
those circumstances could conduct a
vigorous campaign.
The State volunteers deserve un-
limited praise for their many heroic
deeds in the Philippines. | believe the
Kansas men did the most work. but
they all made a fine record for them
selves.
Il met General Wheeler soon after
he came down. We all thought him
too old to endure a campaign in the
Philippines. The climate is terribly
hard on young men OF vigorous
health, and must certainly be exhaust
