TRAITS OF slAMEsE ANTS.
insects Have Characteristics Hitherto
Unknown to the Scientists.

Unknown to the Scientists.
A new trait possessed by ants has
been discovered by a French traveller
in some of the insects he found on
his journey through Siam. These
creatures were very small, of gray
color and lived in damp places. They
travelled often and in troops, which
seemed to be under the direction of
commander who rode on "horse-
back" M. Meissen, the Frenchman
who noticed this popularity, was at
tracted to these groups by discover
ing that each company contained a
large ant that Travelled more rapidly
than the others. Observing them
more closely, he noticed that each
large ant always carried small gray
ant upon his back, though the re-
mainder of the troops were on foot
This mounted ant would ride out from
the line, travel swiftly along the col
umn from head to rear and appar-
emily overlook their maneuvers. M
Nielsen concluded from what he saw
that this species of ant, while on its
travels, is under the direction of a
commander, though such ''ant horses
as the general rides must be rare and
valuable, for he scarcely ever found
more than one mounted ant in col

TO THE TRAVELLER IN MEXICO.
Advice from a Reliable Source Which
Americans Would Do Well
to Heed.

Bring along your good clothes
Draughts are dangerous a mile and
half in the air.
Meals are invariably served in
courses, one dish at time.
Coachmen, chambermen and walters
all expect small tip.
Don't buy rubber plantation of a
man on the street. Gold bricks come
cheaper.
Don't forget to shake hands with
your Mexican friend, both at meeting
and parting.
Don't find fault with the morals of
the natives if you go to the bull-fight
on Sunday.
Take it easy for day or two in this
altitude. There is not as much oxygen
here as at sea level.
You will need warm clothing every
day in the year in the City of Mexico
1t is always cool in the evening.
Don't pay big prices for the IAN
tiquities" sold on the curbstoIe. The
Indians make them fresh every day,
and they are used to working cheap.
Remember that Spanish is the Ian
guage of the country, and that if your
waiter or hack driver does not under
stand you, you are at fault, not he.
Don't be afraid to come to Mexico
for fear that Mexican chile dishes will
burn out your palate. French cook
ing prevails in all the better-class res
taurants.
You can't convince the Mexicans
that they don't know how to make
coffee They have been burning it in
the roasting for several centuries, and
the present generation prefers it black
and strong.
Politeness and procrastination are
equally contagious in Mexico. Don't
be surprised if your friend who has
| been here long enough to become ac-
climated, has adopted many of the
little mannerisms of the country, says
Modern Mexico.
Don't expect an appointment al
ways to be kept to the minute. II
| your Mexican friend should rush past
a dozen acquaintance on the street
without stopping to shake hands, they
would think he had lost his mind as
we'll as his manners.
