WARRIOR ANTS
Build Great Fortresses Which Have to
BE Destroyed by
Cannon.

New York Herald.
Artillery charged with grapeshot has
been employed to destroy great fortresses
which atte termites, or warrior ants, have
made in many tropical countries
: In South Africa the termintes work
enormous havoc. They live in a republic
Of their own, and some Of them have
wings The workmen, the soldiers and the
queens, however, have none.
The workmen construct their buildings,
the soldiers defend the colony and
keep order, and the females, or queens,
are cared for by all the others. These
become, in point of fact. mere egg-laying
machines which have to remain tied to
one spot.
Their nesting homes are often twenty
feet high and pyramidal in shape. Cattle
climb upon them without crushing them
A dozen men can find shelter in some Of
their chambers, and native hunters often
lie in wait inside them when out after
Wild animals
The ants construct galleries which are
as wide as the bore Of large cannon and
which run three or four feet underground.
The nests are said to be 500 times as
high as the ants body, and 1t has been
estimated that If we built our houses on
the same scale, they would be four times
as high as the pyramids of Egypt.

THE TREATMENT OF cRAmp.

!. n. BOSTON JOURNAL.
Many persons of both sexes are troubled with
cramp in one or both Of the legs. 1t usually
comes on suddenly, and while it lasts the pain
is acute. Most people jump out of bed-the
bed or while undressing-and either rub their
legs themselves or get some one else to do it
for them. There Is nothing easier than to over
come the spasms, and the method suggested is as
follows PROVIDE a good strong cord-a long
garter will do If nothing else is handy. When
the cramp comes on take the cord. wind It
is felt, and take one end in each hand and give
1t a sharp pull-one that will hurt a little. The
cramp will cease instantly, and the sufferer can
go to bed assured that it will not come again
