The Crafty Ants Build a Road.

Something new and interesting
about ants was learned by a Mount
Airy florist. For week or so he had
been bothered by ants that got into
boxes of seeds which rested on a shelf
To get rid of the ants he put into exc
cution an old plan, which was to place
meaty bone close by, which the ants
soon covered, deserving the box Of
seeds. AS, soon as the bone became
thickly inhabited by the little creepers
the florist tossed it into tub of water
The ants having been washed of, the
bone was again put in use as trap.
The florist bethought himself that he
would save trouble by placing the
bone in center of sheet of fly paper,
believing that the ants would get
caught on the sticky fly paper while
trying to reach the food. But the flor
ist was surprised to find that the ants,
upon discovering the nature of the
paper trap, formed a working force
and built a path on the paper clear to
the bone. The material for the walk
was sand, secured = from a little pile
near by. For hours the ants worked.
and when the path was completed
they made their way over it's dry sur
face in couples, as in a march, to the
Observation-Disclosures Record.

A WOMAN'Sf INVENTION.
utility of the device shown In the pic
ture, and it is almost needless to say
that it is a woman's idea, the inventor
being Annie Bennett of Maine. = In
families where the bread is made at
home it is a common custom to set
the dough to rise in a warm place
at night, and it is difficult to find a
place where the temperature is
even on all :. sides, the sides
nearest the fire receiving the
greatest amount of heat and caus-
ing the loaf to rise unevenly. With
this device suspended above the stove
the heat rises and surrounds all sides
OF the tin with an equal temperature.
The arrangement is constructed Of a
number of gratings suspended in "a
horizontal position over the range,
with q adjustable shelves which are
adapted to be4extended on either side,
to increase the available space. The
device is also we'll adapted for drying
clothes, and has sufficient number of
rods to hold fair-sized washing. =

I IMPROVED EASY CHAIR.

i Among the many easy chairs on the
market few approach in solid comfort
the chair with the hinged back, which
can be adjusted at various angles, to
suit the lounger. In order to facilitate
the movement of the back and adjust
it readily in its several positions many
devices have been tried, and the
mechanism here shown is one of. the
newest inventions to accomplish this
purpose. The back may be either hing
ed to the seat or pivoted on rod to
tilt freely, with the. supporting brace
pivoted in line with the hinges or on
the rod. A coiled spring is attached to
the chair seat, and to the forward end
of the notched horizontal rod, serving
to draw the rod toward the rear. A
glance at the cut will show that this
would tilt the back of the chair for
ward as soon as the person sitting in
the chair leaned forward. The notch
led bar is held rigidly in place by a
spring bar set at right angles to it, one
end being hinged to the seat and the
other end provided with rod extend
:ng upward in position to be easily de-
pressed by the hand, which action

About Everything That Can Be Deodor-
lied Enters Into 1t.
Amid the argument pro and con as
to limitations on the sale of imitation
butter, the manufacture of the prod
uct goes on to degree that the gen.
eral public has little idea Of Con-
gresham Towney is told by a man
who has been employed for thirteen
years in the stock yards of Chicago
that about everything that can be
deodorized now enters into the manu-
facture of butterine. No tallow can
be had at the stock yards these days,
for it all goes into butterine or oleo-
margarine. And more than that, so
do all kinds of inferior fats. Soap
and candle manufacturers have to seek
elsewhere for their stock, and the by
products of the packing houses from
grease has decreased as the output of
butterine has increased. So great is
the demand that there is difficulty in
procuring loW-grade grease of all
kinds for manufacturing purposes
Withal, it is claimed that these prod
ucts are chemically pure and whole
some, and that to limit their manu-
facture would be to decrease the sup
ply of wholesome food -Indianapolis

Our .LOftiest Mountain.

The records of the Geological Survey
in Washington establish the fact that
the loftiest known mountain in North
America is Mount Mckinley in Alaska,
about 200 miles from the shore of Cook
Inlet. The aboriginal name of the
peak is Tralega. 1t is 2O,464 feet high.
This is not far from the elevation of
Mount Chimborazo, the highest peak
of the Andes, and is 2,44O feet greater
than that of Mount ST. Elias, which
was at one time believed to be our
Hottest mountain. -

"A Balloon for Polar Exploration.

A~AAoOAA
Among the equipments Of the Ger
man Antarctic expedition, the details
OF which are now being worked out,
will be a captive. balloon to be employ
ed for reconnaissance. It will have
sufficient lifting power to raise an OBJ
server about 1000 feet into the air.
1t is probable that the exploring ship,
the building of which has been begun
at kiel, will carry a supply of COM
pressed hydrogen for initiating the bal
loon, and it is intended that there
shall be enough of the gas to enable
the balloon to make ten ascensions.
The expedition will endeavor to estab-
fish station on the west side of Vic
toria Land, as it is thought that an ex-
tensive land surface exists there. A
British expedition is simultaneously to
attack Victoria Land from the east
side.

United States Vow tho Greatest Producer

&$.ss,, 81 5&s N Of This Fuel. Il
4 The scarcity OF coal id Europe and
many Inquiries about American coal
that this has caused, and the new ex-
port trade to some extent that mas
resulted, emphasizes the fact that this
country is now the greatest coal pro-.
ducer in the world. The production
for 1899 is estimated by the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal to have been
=244,581, 875 tons. The statisticTan OF
the Geological Survey estimates that
it was 258.539,65O short tons, which
is an amount far in excess of the pro-
5duction Of any Il previous, year, and.
probably greater than the production
of Great Britain. In 1889 the produc-
ton Of bituminous coal in this conn-
try was 95,6S5, 6S3 short tons: Ten
years later it had risen to. 198,219,255
short tons. In 1889 the anthracite
production was 40,714,721 long tons.
Ten years later it was 53,857 ,496 long
tons, an increase of about 80 per cent
The value of, the production of 1899
is estimated at $260,0oo,000, about $751;
100000 more. than that Of the pro-
duction of the preceding year. One OF
the encouraging features of this in
crease Of production and the increase.
of trade that it indicates both at: home,
and abroad, is that with the exception
of Pennsylvania anthracite, the coal
deposits of the country are practical
~ inexhaustible; that the known de-
posits have scarcely been scratched

the leading state not only as the pro-
Queer OF anthracite. of which, she has

Is electrified by friction. Acting upon
the suggestion thus furnished, a
French savant, Monsieur Henry, has
made experiments which show that
the electrification of the air enclosed

equalize the temperature A similar
effect is observable in wool, and hence
