According to the London Chronicle the will
OF the late Grand Duchess Maria Antonio Of
Tuscany, who died the other day at Gmun-
den, contains touching proviso that proves
she still entertained hope Of the return
Of her missing son, the Archduke Johann. 1t
will be remembered that. as plain John Orth,
skipper Of a trading schooner he was sup
posed to have been lost with his ship off the
coast of South America. The mother still
included him among her heirs, but directed
in codicil that, in the event of his death
being clearly established. his share should
be divided between the other benefciaries.
But It is further provided that, should 1t be
proven that he made any valid testamentary
| disposition. no portion of his bequest should
pass to third person outside the circle Of
the imperial family. This clause, of course,
had special reference to the claims put for
ward by woman of humble birth who pro-
| fesses to have been the morganatic wife of
the vanished archduke, and has made sew
eral efforts to get her position recognized.
| An edict has been issued by the dowager
empress of China. 1t reads "Since news
papers only serve to stir UP the masses, and

| dangerous implements can result in no good.
| We hereby order. therefore, the complete
suppression and cessation Of all newspapers
that have hitherto appeared In the empire
|
punished with the utmost severity of the
law" Fifty-sx Chinese newspapers were by
this decree suppressed.
Disputes Their Intelligence.

thinks he has found a purely materialistic
reason for their recognizing each other. He
cleansed ants taken from one hill in q solu-
tom Of alcohol, dipped them in decocuon
made Of ants from another hill and placed
them in the strange hill. They were not at
| tackled as strangers, even when Of different
color and conformation. On the other hand
| ants treated In this manner. when put back
in their own hill, were not recognized by
| their tribe. but at once attacked and killed
| Prof. Bethe infers from this that ants mus
| give out some liquid whose odor guides then
and that each colony must have its OWE
peculiar smell. He goes further and as
sumes that the odor emitted Is different II

| test was to cut out a section in ant path
and to swing 1t half around a circle till the
ends Joined the path again directly opposite
their former position. When the ants came
to the break they were completely bewildered
but as soon as the section was swung bach
into its original position found their way
again without trouble.-New York Sun.
