Ants Protect Their Own.

Lord Avebury declares that ants
that maintain their sobriety make a
great distinction in their treatment
of the intoxicated stranger and the
fellow-citizen who has succumbed to
his Establishments. He inebriated so
ants, Is from one nest and IS from
another, and put them all into the
nest from which one lot had been
taken. The inhabitants at once took
the helpless strangers and threw
them into the water: while those
who were citizens of the nest were
carried tenderly away into remote
corners to recover from their festivi-
ty at leisure.

THE SIZE OF HEAVEN.
he Room Enough for Some
Time to Come.

Taking verse from Revelation as
the basis of computation, some indus
trious and probably uneasy fellow has
again been figuring on the dimensions
of Heaven. The text is in Is: 81, and
reads as follows: "And he measured
the city with the reed, $4,000 furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the
height of it are equal" He concludes
that this represents space of 400, 1884,
OSs 200, OOO, 100000 cubic feet. The en-
terprising statistician sets aside one
half of this space for the Throne and
Court of Heaven, and one-haf of the
balance for streets, which would leave
remainder of 124, l9S, 272, OOO, OOO, OOO,.
600 cubic feet. He then proceeds to die
vide this by 4,096, the number of cubical
feet in room 16 feet square, and this
process gives him 80, 1921 ,843, 75O, 200, 900
rooms of the size indicated. He then
proceeds upon the hypothesis that the
world now contains, always has con-
tanned, and will always contain 900, 0OO,-
600 inhabitants, and that generation
lasts for 33 1-3 years. which gives "
tai number of inhabitants every cen-
fury of 1927, 100000. He assumes that
the world will stand 1000 centuries,
or 100000 years, which would give
total of 97O,OOO,OQO,OOO inhabitants
for this period of time. He then
reaches the reassuring conclusion
that if 100 worlds of the same size and
duration, and containing the same
number of inhabitants, should redeem

there. If a lack or room were possible.
in the Divine order of things, it would
probably be at the other place, judge
ing from the announcements that are
made from time to time. Room has
never been a matter of serious consid-
Grafton with men who have paused
long enough in the whirl to mediate
on the blessings which are to follow
life of righteousness. The main
question, and the one in which all men
are most concerned, is the simple ques-
ton of the shortest, best and safest
way. Put in different language, they
want to know how to get there, and il
the studious statistician will figure
out some plan that will meet with gem
eral satisfaction along this line, he will
probably smooth out the burrows
which now mark the faces of uneasy
sinners.-N. O. Times-Democrat.

Railroad Extenslon.

The plans of the Milwaukee and
Northern Pacific roads for extensions
in southern North Dakota include a
junction of the two lines at Linton,
one Of the new Milwaukee stations in
Emmons county. 1t is asserted that
the Milwaukee will run it's trains into
Bismarck over the Northern Pacific
from Linton.
The Northern, Pacific will probably
build its new extension from McKen-
zie, station east of Bismarck, south
and southwest to the junction with
the Milwaukee at Linton. n. D. The
Milwaukee line will be extended to
point near the southern boundary
of the state in Emmons county, and
from there east and northeast to con-
meet with the Northern Pacific's pre-
ent line at Edgeley. This is also the
terminus of the Milwaukee's line
north from Aberdeen.
BY the arrangement at Linton it is
said that the completion of the Mil
waukee to Bismarck or any other
point in that part Of North Dakota
will be delayed several years. The
Milwaukee seeks simply to secure its
share of the traffic from the Missouri
slope and the arrangement with the
Northern Pacific, in the judgment of
it's officials, will suffice for several
years to come.

USEFUL. TOOL FOR ARTISTS.

tical.y over drawing are five small
rings ON which the fingers rest. 1t can
readily be seen that, thanks TO these
rings, one cen with one hand hold the
rule in the desired position, no matter
what kind of curve it may be, and with
the other hand guide the pencil or pen
along the rule for the purpose Of trace
ing the curve.
The second form Of the instrument
is somewhat analogous, but little
more complicated. A strip of flexible
steel is here substituted for the cellu-
loid and attached to it by lateral rings
are small fat strips, which form .
chain when Joined together.
When these small strips are thus
connected the flexible steel strip as
sumes the form of curve. Moreover,
the small strips are connected togeth-
er in such manner that the steel strip
will keep as long as desired the form
of any curve which it has been made to
assume.
In the third form of the instrument
wood is generally usedinstead of cel!u-
loid or steel, because this type of i'm
strument is larger and there is not SO
much need of lexibility. Connected
with this wooden strip are square me-
tallic pins, which rest loosely in metal-
lie sockets and which can be moved in
the direction of any curve which it is
desired that the wooden strip shall as
sumo. Absolutely perfect work, it is
claimed, can be done with these simple
yet ingenious instruments.-N. Y. Her

ARE VERY WHIMSICAL.
Take Dives to the Bottem When
Nobody II Looking.

An officer of the company which is
making submarine boats said, in speak
ing of the involuntary dive to the bot
tom Of Peconic bay, taken by. the Bus-
ton at New Suffolk, L. l., on a recent
afternoon
II am not superstitiousa about many
things, but l am getting to be very
superstitious about the way in which
each one of these boats of ours goes to
commissioned.
"Fise years ago the Plunger, while
at the pier of the Columbian iron
works in Baltimore, sank without q bit
of wvrning, and we were several days
getting her up. When we investigated
the matter we found that valve had
been Mt open by workman. Care
Iessness was, of course, responsible
for this accident.
"Three years ago the Holland, While
Mt Nixon's yard at E.izabethport, sank
at her dock, and again, when we got
her up. we found that a careless work.
man had left valve open. Now the
-
thing, and once more it was careless
workmen who were responsible for it.
when we are testing submarine
boat, and every one who sees US make a
plunge holds his breath for fear that
we will never; come up again, We never
have an accident. We have never had
an accident yet, and I.don't believe we
ever will. But the minute we leave a
boat alone, down she goes. -
"In every.c case it has happened when
it was least expected. Fortunately for
| us there is no kind of craft SO easy to
get up again, once she has gone down.
All we have to do is to get the water out
of her dynamo and engine rooms and
out of her cabins.
"To do this diver seals her up while
she is on the bottom and then we pump
her out. To get the rest of the water
out of the ballast tanks all we have to
do is to release the compressed air
which is always carried on submarine
boat. 1t pushes it out in hurry. Oi
course the moment the water is out the
boat comes up to the surface again.
II don't want to predict any further
calamities of this kind for the COM
pany, but | am beginning to believe
that there is kind of fate in this thing.
Ill know better when see how the
next boat comes out. wouldn't bet a
cent that she doesn't go to the bottom
invoiuntarily, at least once, before she
leaves our hands,

Mass, was called up hastily to see a
quarryman who had ''been killed, but

described the case.
DIR. Bigelow found that the patient, a
young quarryman about 90 years of
age, had been tamping the powder in

used for hauling stones from the quar-

But try as they would, the managers of
many Disbursements having so or 100

for abuses until the speed and stop

several patterns, came into the market

pels his horses to make up the lost time

"speed and stop check" modelled after
the fashion Of the cyclometer of BIZ
cycle fame. The indicator is about the
shape of an ordinary a.arm clock, with
. face about five inches across and d.
vided by minute and hour lines. A
clock hand moves continuously, but
another dial is SO arranged that it
records only while the wagon moves,
stamping each quarter mile as it is
wheeled of. The indicator is attached
to rear wheel, and if driver stops
the time hand goes on, but the distance
marker does not. With the number of
miles travelled, the time consumed and
the stops all indicated, it is easy for
the employer to tell at glance if his
horses have been overdriven and if the
driver has been attending to duty
promptly.
