Ants recognize one another easily.
When an ant enters a colony which is
not it's own, it is put to death almost i'm
nediately. A German naturalist has
discovered that it is by the sense of smell
hat this subtle recognition takes place.
If an ant touches water, it invariably

the colony, the water having removed
from the ant the special property on
which depended the recognition.
Experiment proved the statement.
Some ants were crushed, and with the
mess an ant was smeared and placed in q
colony. If the ant had the odor of this
colony, it was well received; if not, it
was attacked at once.
An ant washed with alcohol at 80 de-
grees was returned to it's nest and was
attacked as a stranger.
On the contrary, put at one side "a
hours before being returned to the colony,
it was welcomed, that length of time be-
ing enough for the restoration of its fam

The census OF the United States as a
whole for 1900 shows a gain Of nearly n
per cent. over the census of 1890. There
fore three of the New England states
namely. Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and Connecticut, exhibit a growth larg-
er than the average for the country.
Arranged as to size of population. the
order of the six states now IS: Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Maine. Rhode ISL
and, New Hampshire, Vermont. The lat
est count has made but one change in
this respect
New Hampf lire. which was fourth in
the -list IN sesFs-age,- drops to fffth place;
and Rhode ISLAND. which was fifth in
1880. rises 10 the fourth notch I'm 1900.
The gain i'm Rhode Island has been en-
tirely in the cities and factory towns.
Providence, Pawtucket and Woonsocket
together have 242, 900 inhabitants, or near
ly three-fifths OF the whole population
OF the state.
The other cties-Newport and Central
FalIs-and such large towns as War
wick. Cranston. East Providence, Cum
berland, Lincoln. Westerly, Bristol,
South Kingstown and Burrillville, will
probably show a fair increase
When Rhode Islands bulletin Is issued
from the census office it will probably
be found that three-fifths of the states
population is within an eight-mile ra-
dius of the centre of Providence.
Rhode Island now has 1874 persons, on
an average, for each square mile of its
area Massachusetts, with 3f 10 the
