under hurried orders from Berlin.
In the absence of any official advi-
ces on the subject the officials here
are in the dark as to the reasons for
the hurried departure OF German
warships for Venezuela, as reported
in the st. Thomas dispatch.
Germany has a big claim against
Teneznela-that of the Berlin Com
pang of Discount for the non-perfor-
nance of engagements whichEthe Ven
ezulean government has undertaken
in connection with the Great Venezu-
lean Railway built by the govern
ment. The claim a~proximates 5000.
600 bolivars. One inference, and 1t
is merely that, as there is nc official
information on whi3h to base the
statement, is that Germany has sent
her vessels to La GuaiTa to enforce
the uayment of the claim, as Venezu-
Ella has not attempted to meet the OBJ
LEGATION.
HOW FAR GERMANY WOULD GO.
The diplomatic correspondence of
the State Department shows that
Germany has considered the question
of coercion in connection with the
PAYMENT of the claim. A communl-
cation from the German Embassy of
December 90 last has this to say on
the subject:
lin case the German government
should he Obliged to use coercion
against Venezuela in connection with
the pending claims. it will have to be
considered what kind of measures
should be adopted. The most imnor-
tant measures shOrld be adonted. The
most important measure of coercion
'ha'ie the blockade Of Venezuela
Na q would have to be carried
through without a declaration of war
preceding it. A blockade therefore
would be a peace blockade. Such a
blockade would touch likewise the
ships of neutral powers. iuasmuch as
such ships, although a c~onisration of
them would o have TO be turned
away and prohibited until the block

largely increased. II was at Roanoke

1T now being past noon and Formi-

she hied herself to the outskirts of the
nest, where the family cows were pas
tured. These cows, or aphides. we're
feeding on the leaves of the daisy, into
which they plunge their proboscldes
and suck all day long filling their
bodies with pleasant juices. Our ant
came up behind an aphis and stroked
1t gently with her antennae. when the
little creature gave out a drop OF her
sweet liquid, which Formica sucked
into her own crop. There were thou
sands OF these aphides pasturing on
the leaves and thousands of ants milk
ing them. Most of the ants took more
of the juice into their crops than they
needed; and, on the way back to work.

they met going to the cows, thus saw

to resume their occupation more quick

OF the aphis juice during the summer

fall off later when the aphides laid
their eggs. (Note here the superior
mental equipoise Of the ant, which nei-
ther betrays surprise nor writes to the
newspapers when her cows begin 70

store over winter. tending them with
the utmost care until spring when the
/ young aphides are brought out and
placed on the shoots OF the daisy TO
mature and provide food again during
the hot weather. This far-sightedness
is unexampled In the animal kingdom.

breeds its own food supply. Having

was in a position on the leaf which
might expose 1t to observation of some

descended to the ground, when she
