THE END OF AN OLD CASE.

Decided After BeinE la Court Eight
Years.
CHARLESTOWN. ". Va. March In
the Circuit Court Of Jefferson county Judge
Faulkner decided an interesting case
which has been pending for several years.
Mrs. Ellen Waters died In 1876. and in her

his death the principal was 10 be paid by
Hall 20 three iegatees named in the viii.
Hall received the money and used it in part
payment of a arm, which he purchased
from the exec,,5or Of Mrs. Walters. and
which lies about two miles southeast OF
this place.
After the purchase OF the farm Hall eX-
ecuted several leeds Of trust on the farm.
and In 1892 SUIT EGs instituted by his cred

suit the benefciaries under the viii OF
Mrs. Walters fled petition claiming that
as Hall had used the trust fund Of s..
bequeathed for their benefit in the pur-
chase OF the farm, the law gave them a
resulting trust in the farm for the amount
Of their money. which was used as a part
OF the purchase money. The court refused
to allow the petition to be fled. and the
case was taken to the Supreme Court Of
Appeals. and that court decided that the
petition should be filed and remanded the
case to this court fo- further proceedings.
Now Judge Faulkner holds that the ben
eiciaries Of this fund have a resulting
trust on the farm, and that the land is Ii
able for the payment Of their claim. al
though the land has been sold from Hall
and is now owned by another party The
purchaser not having paid the last pay

How Ants Know Their own Family.

How Ants Know Their Own Family.
1t is known that ants recognize each
other very easily. When an ant en-
tiers colony which is not its own.
it is almost Immediately put to death.
A German naturalist has discovered
and has established that it is by the
sense of smell that this subtle recog-
milton takes place. If an ant touches
water it is invariably attacked by its
sisters on its return to the colony, the
water having removed from the ant
the special property on which depend
ed the recognition. The following ex-
pertinent would prove it: Some ants
were crushed, and with the juice thus
obtained an ant was smeared and
placed in strange colony. If the ant
were perfumed with the juice of this
colony, it was we'll received; if not,
1t was at once attacked. An ant
washed with alcohol at 30 degrees was
returned to its nest and was attacked
as stranger. On the contrary, put
at one side twenty-four hours before
being returned to the colony, it was
we'll received; that length of time be-
Ing enough for the reparation of its
family odor. This odorous substance
which distinguishes one colony from
another is called matter or perfume
of the nest.
