Ants IN Siam.

M. Charles Meissen, French ex-
plorer, in travelling through Siam OBJ
served a species Of small gray ants
which were new to him. These ants
were much engaged in travelling. They
lived in damp places and went in
troops. To his surprise he noticed
among them from time to time an &C.
casional ant which was much larger
than the others and moved at much
swifter pace, and each of these larger
ants NJ Meissen saw always carried
one Of the gray ants on it's back. While
the main body Of gray ants were al
ways ON foot, they were accompanied
by at least one of their own sort
mounted on one of these larger ants.
1t mounted and detached itself now
and then from the line, rode rapidly
to the head, came swiftly back to the
rear and seemed to be the commander
of the expedition. The explorer was
satisfied that this species of ant en-
ploys a larger ant, possibly drone OF
the same species, just as we employ
horses to ride upon, though scarcely
more than one ant in each colony
seems to be provided with mount.

Grecian damsels-those at the head

a musical box which extends the whole
length of the cot and is capable of
playing twelve charming airs. The
music begins the moment the least pres
sure has been brought to bear from the
top, which is created by one sleeping
or sitting, and ceases the moment the
individual rises. While the music Is In

two Grecian damsels at the bottom fan

PLANT IRREGULARITIES.
The Reason Fruit Bushes and Vines
Are Protected by ThOrns.

The Reason Fruit Bushes and Vines
Are Protected by Thorns.
Most persons think that the stem Of
a plant grows from the roots. On the
contrary, the roots grow from the
stem. In the case Of plant that dies
down to the ground in autumn Ii is
not the roots that send up new stem
in the spring, for a part of the true
stem remains underground on the root
crown, and from it grow up the bud
bearing stems in the spring. When
a seed terminates, it sends the light
loving stem upward and the dark low
ing root downward.
Saw off part of tree trunk and you
will find series of rings from the GEN.
ter to the bark, each ring marking a
year of growth. But these rings indi-
cate also which of the seasons through
which the tree has lived were dry and
which had plenty of rain. The rings
are always of unequal width. The
narrow ones represent dry seasons and
the wide ones seasons when the cOndi-
tons of growth were better by reason
of plentiful rain.
Every rose has it's thorn, and the
same may be said of such fruits as
blackberries, raspberries, etc., only
they are not real thorns, but prickles,
which strip off with the outer bark,
while thorns will not strip off, being
hardened, undeveloped branches.
But why do bushes and vines have
prickles? Many people wonder at it,
for they see no good reason for such a
growth. But there is a reason, as
there is in everything in nature. The
prickles are given to them as pro-
lection against plant eating animals.
The stems have a pleasant, aromatic
taste, and cows and sheep would be
sure to eat them in winter, when they
crave something fresh, If 1t were not
for the prickleS.
