Whether ants hear is a question which
has engaged the attention of Mr.. Weld
of Iowa University for some time and he
mas recently published in Science an ac-
count of some of his experiments. He
states that for many years II has been
the accepted opinion among naturalisls
that these insects are not endowed with
an acoustic sense, at least within the
range of sounds perceptibe to the human
ear This opinion is based upon the fail
ure OF experiments which showed that
loud and shrill noises do not produce the
slightest effect upon ants. Mr.. Weld,
however, finds that this was not the case
with several American species of these
Insects. He confined an ant in a test
tube and brought II near a milled desk
rotating in the air. At each sound which
was produced the ant showed unmistak-
able signs of agitation, quickly moving its
head and antennae. Shrill noises were
produced close to co.ony protected UNI
der a glass and the ants Immediately
showed signs of alarm. These expert
ments led to the conclusion that at least
some species of ants are capable OF pee
ceiving vibrations conducted through tho
air or other media which are audible to
the human ear This does not necessarily
demonstrate that they hear in the strict
sense of the word, but merely that they
are capable of perceiving ordinary sounds.

of millionaire, but that his real estate is
worth between nineteen and twenty mill

of salt.
The paper goes on to say that che owns
100 freehold farms many of them on the
Main Reef, which he will not allow to be
worked but it is to be remembered that
there are not great number of farms on
the Main Reef altogether. Mr. Kruger is,

owner in Rushtenburg district, and the
largest shareholder in the Netherlands

Some time ago the Czarina who is a very
philanthropic and religious woman, ma de
up her mind that the lavish use of tobac-
co in Russia was doing harm. says the
Saturday Evening Post, She thereupon
prohibited the use of the weed, and espe-
ically of cigarettes, in the court.
A few days passed and her imperial
majesty needed some money. It did not
come, even after she had sent a confident
ial servant to the treasury. At last, in
place of money, came white-bearded old
man from that institution, with pleasant
md attractive address.
There must be mistake, your imperial
majesty. Two weeks ago you prohibited
the use of tobacco in the court, and so
great is your influence and so deep the
love for you among the people that the
sales of the weed dropped down to a frac-
ton of what formerly was the case, and
the internal revenue receipts became less
than the expenses. The government ap-
preciated your high munihcence, because
under the law of the land your income is
charged against the tobacco tax of this
district, and 1t was supposed that YOU had
concluded to give up your wealth in order
to carry out your views upon reform"
The following week, so the story goes.
the rule was relaxed, and the Czarina g
sudden poverty vanished as if by magic.

of the day. His little boy, hearing him
speak of me, was seized with desire TO
go to the theater, and coaxed so well that
his father promised to take him.
The play was "Odette." The doctor and
his pretty little son sat In the end seats
of the parquette circle, close to the stage
and almost facing the whole house. The
little fellow watched his first play closely.
AS the comedy bit went on, he smiled up
at his father. saying audibly: Like her

who had overheard smiled over the chio. s
Inconsistencies of observers. But when I
had changed my dress and crept into the

husband raised his hand to strike, I re-

the curtain and saw the doctor leading
out the little man, who was then crying
bitterly; the audience smiling and applaud

A bit later the doctor came to my dress

child had begged, Take me out, take me

In vain he tried to explain; the child
only grew more wildly excited, and finally

come home at once-only two blocks away
he would return and look for the lady in

to the boy, What lonely placei there is
