When the Dynamo Failed.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
There is such a thing as being too thor
oughly up to date. This fact was demon
strated last Thursday, when several hun
dred people were thrown into panic by
the failure of the electric lights in down.
town sky scraper.
The architect who designed the building
evidently considered gas lighting to be OBJ
solete, and the building was dependent en-
tirely upon electricity for illumination. A
dynamo broke down and, save for a few
matches that were in the pockets of people,
there was no means of making light. The
trouble lasted half an hour, during which
jewellers were in a state Of alarm and safe
deposit people bolted their customers into
vaults, while visitors to the building CROPPED
their way to the street in terror of tumbles
and of pickpockets.
The incident seems to demonstrate that,
until electrical machinery shall have been
brought considerably nearer perfection, it
will be wisdom upon the part of builders to
make provision for at least an occa sional
gas jet as a safeguard against conditions
like those which have been recited.
Either that or occupants of sky scraperS
should lay in a supply Of old, reliable talow
candles for emergencies.

Couldn't Fool the Ant Twice.
rom the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
An interesting demonstration of the In
telligence of the ant was made by student
In the biological department Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania last week. The young
man constructed a roadway, two feet in
length, of metal, and divided this into two
parallel paths, separated by high parti-
ton. One Of the paths he painted red and
the other blue; and at their end, In plain
view, he put a morseI Of rich cake. Then
he set an ant at the beginning of the road
way. The ant at once made for the cake
over the red path, whereupon the student
turned on lamp under his mechanism and
heated the path to an uncomfortable de-
gree. The ant kept on, and finally secured
the cake, but on its return it must have told
itself that 1t had had a mighty uncomfort-
able journey. Several hours later the stu
dent brought 1t out again, another morsel
of cake being set at the end of the roadway.
The ant thought moment, and then started
for the cake over the blue path. 1t remem-
bered that the red one had been hot. To
prove still more conclusiyely that 1t re-
membered. the student next blocked up the
blue path, whereupon the ant did without
the cake rather than venture after 1t by
the red one.
