The CELEBRATED aLeaf Amt"

One of the oldest little creatures in
all animal nature is the leaf ant OF
Central America Although different
species of this oddity are known TO in
habit the American continent from
Brazil TO Mexico, the real home Of the
true leaf ant is in Nicaragua. TO all
outward appearances this little insect
is a common ant. but one of gigantic
size, 1t must be admitted. when COM
pared with the ants of our temperate
regions, being on an average over an
inch in length. The habit for which
these ants are 50 celebrated, and one
which we could hardly believe were il
not for the testimony OF reputable nat
uralists. is that Of carrying Il leaf for
a sunshade. just as our women and
men carry parasols and umbrellas for
the same purpose.
When at work the leaf carrying ants
look like Il little army IN which each
individual member is protected from
the suns rays by Il little banner OF
green. Another remarkabl BILE fact i'll con-
nection with the leaf carrier is that
only those at work carry the little leafy
protection. When long file of burden
bearers have deposited their budgets.
they discard their parasOls and return
for II load without the leaf which
made them such conspicuous objects

MiIIet and .The AnEeIus.-

1t was only after long years of strug-
gle and dire poverty. through which
AIillet was conSoled and supported by
his wife. THAT the peasant painter was
able To take the three ToOmed cottage
at Barbizon and try TO do something
really good" 1t was then that he be-
gan TO paint that most beautiful poem
of poverty" the "Angelus." which is
today one of the most valuable pic
lures in the world. Again and again he
threw aside the picture in despair of
ever finishing il To his satisfaction. and
as often his wife replaced il on the
easel and induced him TO continue.
ON one occasion he was SO incensed
at not being able TO produce a certain
effect that he seized n knife and would
have destroyed the canvas and ended
the matter once for all had not his wife
fortunately seized his hand and in
duced him TO give the picture another
trial. Thus it was that at last the
"Angelus" found n place on the walls
OF the Louvre. The success il won en-
couraGed Millet to paint many more
pictures and thus place himself among
the immortalS in art

oddest Parasite In Creation.

Do readers know that the royal Ben
gal tiger is infested with one of the
strangest creatures that ever lived? 1t
is said TO be a fact easily demonstrated
or proved by one who has access TO a
geological collection that the web of
the foot of tigers of the above named
species is inhabited by n blood sucking
insect about the size of common flea
which is a perfect counterpart of a
tiger in every particular. shape, claws,
