Recent observations tending to show
that ants possess a sense of hearing
have recently been described. Pro
fessor Metcalf OF the Woman's Col
lege, Baltimore, adds some interest
ing testimony on the subject in let
ter to Science. One of his students
discovered that colony of black ants
was thrown into a state of great ex.
citement by sounds of one particula,
pitch. Other sounds did not affect
them, but when the peculiar note was
struck, either on violin or with Q
whistle, the ants would become ex.
cited, and if the sounds were continued
would grow frantic, some of them fall
ing into a water moat surrounding
their nest. Ants of other species paid
no attention to the sounds.

Before a meeting of the Biological
Society Of Washington Mr.. w. A..
Orton described the result of expert
ments made to determine the cause OF
the flow of maple sap in the early
spring. His conclusion was that the
flow has a mechanical cause, being
due to the increasing heat which ex-
pands the gases in the wood cells,
aud thus forcibly expels the sap.
This contradicts the view that the
flow of sap is due only to physiolog-
ical action in the plant.

The peculiar condition of the a.
mosphere over southern England and
western France on January 18th gave
rise to extraordinary exhibitions of
solar halos, or sun dogs, described in
the scientific journals of both coun.
tries. The phenomena we're very
beautiful, the sun being surrounded
wi9h concentric circles and inverted
arches, showing rainbow colors, while
mock suns appeared among the halos.
They were caused by clouds of minute
ice crystals floating at great eleva

Irish Trust and DiStrust-

Inc most truStful people in the world
IN money matters are the Irish. A
stranger can go into any shop and get
a check caShed without the least diff
Guilty, though the proprietor never saw
him before and never heard Of the
drawer. Bank notes are very largely
used, as almost every bank in the coun-
try issues notes worth fl, f., 63, Is
and upward, and they are all looked
upon as being quite as good as gold
But Bank of England notes, even in
the large towns, are looked upon with
suspicion, while in remote places peo-
pie won't take them at all. 1t is said
that this suspicion of English notes is
hereditary.
From the time of James II up to 70
years ago the law was such with re-
gard to currency that if an Irishman
wanted to pay 600 in England he had
to remit Els Us. Sd, while if he were
being paid a debt by an Englishman
he received only fS5. Naturally he
thought rather badly of English money,
and in the 100 years during which this
state Of things continued the Irish peO-
pie became SO deeply convinced that
John Bull was cheating them that they
still regard the Bank of England as a
corporation of robbers.

George Brandes thus describes the
position of the Jews in Frankfurt, Ger
many, at the beginning of the nine
teenth century: "All Jews were forced
to live in the narrow, miserable, over
crowded Judengasse Jew street,, their
sole abode since the year 1862. At the
beginning Of night all the inhabitants
of the ghetto were locked in. They
were not allowed to use the sidewalk
while walking in the street in the day
time, but had to take the middle of the
street They had to remove their hats
before every passerby, who would call
out, Jew, make your bow?
ITO prevent too large an increase not
more than IA couples were permitted to
marry in any one year. On every fes-
tive occasion they were driven into the
ghetto. On Sunday the gates were
locked regularly at o'clock, and no
one was allowed to pass by the guard
at the gate except when on an errand
with a prescription to the drug store or
for the purpose Of mailing a letter.
One general rule was No Jew allowed
on a green spot" Napoleon abolished
this state of affairs in 1910, but it was
restored after his downfall.
