Wh,,s Ant. in Rhsd e.i..

An Interesting description OF the
ravages of white ants, or termttes> in
Rhodesia is furnished by Rev. A. lie
boeuf to the Zambesi Mission Record
for January. The special interest for
the contribution centers in the account
Of the damage done to property by
white ants in Rhodesia, which seems
to be even greater than in India. 1t is
no uncommon thing, says the writer,
for the colonist on returning from his
days labor to find the coat he LETT
hanging on a nail of his cottage wall
and the books on the table absolutely
destroyed by these tiny marauoers.
Nor is this all. On awakening next
morning" writes Mr.. Leboeuf. you
are astonished to see in the dim light
a cone-shaped object rising from the
brick floor a short distance from your
bed. with two holes on the top ike the
crater of miniature volcano. ON
closer examination you discover that
the holes have just the size and shape
of the inside of your boot, which you
incautiously left on the brick floor the
night before They have given form
and proportion TO an ant heap, and
nothing is left Of them except the
nails. eyelets and. may be. part of the
heels" And as the same dismal story
with variations-has to be toio
about every other article OF apparel
and all perisha BILE objects, 1t must De
admitted that there are drawbacks TO
the lot OF a settler in Rhodesia.-Na-

HEROISM AT A FIRE.
Patton Rescued Three Women. Then
Had IA Very Narrow Escape.

Had Very Narrow Escape.
Chicago, March IS. - Twenty four
families occupying the st. Catherine
flats, at Fortieth street and Grand bo,l-
levard, were driven from the building
by fire early in the day. A frigid wind
was blowing, and the firemen had to
work vigorously to confine the flames
to the st. Catherine.
The tenants had barely time to escape
and shivered in their nightclothes till
neighbors were aroused and gave
them shelter. Nearly all household
goods and personal effects were lost.
William Scanlon, policeman, fell
from a third story window and broke
one of his legs. George Patton, one
Of the tenants, proved himself a. hero,
Three women were penned in on the
third floor. Patton had reached them
before the fire blocked the stairway.
Hc made Il rope Of bed sheets and let
the women down the elevator shaft by
means of it. He then fastened it and
attempted to slide down after them.
The makeshift rope gave way, how.
ever, and he sustained broken ankle.
Firemen rescued him.
The total loss was 100000.

Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania has

CONCESSION TO HOUSE
Senate Committee Favors Amendment
of Pending Reciprocity Treaties.
RATIFICATION THE OBJECT.
Clause Recommended Providing
That Conventions Shall Take Eff
feet Only When They Have
Been Approved by Congress.

Washington, March 1S-The senate
committee on foreign relations has de-
cided to again take up the reciprocity
treaties which are before the senate,
with view to securing such amend
ments to them as will insure their rat
itication.
There has long been contention on
the part Of the members Of the house
of representatives that because these
treaties affect the tariff system they
should be passed upon by the house
as well as by the senate. The senate
committee ON foreign relations was not
disposed to cOncede this point but
because the Dingley bill authorizing
these commercial agreements contain
ed a provision requiring the consent Of
the entire congress the committee has
now taken Il position favorable to the
house contention.
This it has done in adopting the re-
port prepared by it's subcommittee. of
which Senator SpoOner is chairman.
This report recommends that each of
the reciprocity conventions be amend
ed so as to provide that it shall take
effect when approved by congress"
The committee has acted upon this
expression in general way. but so
far has made no effort to attach the
amendment to any of the pending
treaties. 1t is understood that the
next step will be in this direction. and
it is probable that the question will
be taken up at the next regular meet
ing to be held on Wednesday of this
week.
Invitation to Aldrich.
Senator Aldrich, who has commended
that the treaties should be considered
in the light of tariff legislation. will be
invited to appear before the commit
II the amendment is made to one of
the treaties 1t will be made to all of
them and to all agreements of the kind
which may in the future be entered in
to under the provisions Of the Dingley
act.
The members of the committee on
foreign relations are Outspoken in their
declaration that this concession does
not in any way affect the treaty max
ing power of the president and the
senate, which, they contend, is exclu
sive of the house, but majority mem
bers say that, as they voted for the
Dingley bill which contains the reci-
procity clause consistency on their
part requires that they should insert
this clause.
They also say that their insertion of
1t will be a notice to all foreign powers
that such provision will be required in

metric system in which a decimal
point is all that is necessary to change
from one measure into another. This

tenn very soon. In fact bill has
