2 That ants doctor their sick by hypno-
tism and magnetism is proved by OBJ
servation. An ardent student tells
how he witnessed what may be termed
n seance in medical science among ants.
He saw several Of these little creatures
emerge from the hills and noticed that
there were some among them which
were weak and emaciated--invalids, in
fact. They were accompanied by
healthy members of the community,
and all made their way toward a dis
tant mound. !,
On following their movements
through a glass the observer saw on
this mound a big and sturdy ant which
made some motions in the direction of
the advancing invalids. The latter
went up the mound one by one. and
submitted themselves to treatment.
This consisted in the physician ant
passing his feelers over the head and
body of the patient in a dis
tinctly suggestive Of the hypnotizine
of nerves and muscles practiced by
human doctors. Every one went
through the treatment, then the pa
tients went back, and the doctor
marched of in the opposite direction.

Statistics of Crime In hts Country
Furnish Evidence of n Terrible
Tide of Murder.

Comparative statistics OF murder
should teach us some lessons of ma
tional humility, because. blink il
as we may crime, and especially that
of homicide. is n pretty accurate
measure of the attainment of civili-
cation. There are about 10000 muir
ders a year in the United States.
Mr.. Robert Anderson, of London, has
lately astonished his readers by
stating that in the 100000 inhabi-
tants of London there are annually
on the average only about Is muir
ders. IN a ermon on crime a clergy
man Of one OF our smaller American
cities recently stated that in his city
(of about 100000 inhabitants) there
we're in the last five years an aver
age Of nearly 30 homicides a year,
says American Medicine. Surprising.
therefore, that these people would
not become far more criminal when
massed together by millions. it fol-
lows that IL the clergyman's city
were as large as London there would
be nearly geo murders n year in it,
instead of is. But, worse Is yet to
come: Out of the las murders in five
years there were only % convictions,
and the very worst is the fact that
not one of these convicted murder
ers suffered the death penalty
Upon che side. surely. the retort no
longer hollis that the doctors put
their bad work beneath the ground
ana the lawyers hang H. up above it.

THE STUDY OF CHINESE.
Advocated by United states Consular
Agent In the Interests OF
American Trade.

Mr.. Charles Neuer, United States
consular agent at Gera, in an official
communication to the state depart
ment advocates the study of the Chi
nese language as a means of extending
American trade in the Chinese empire,
says the Washington Star. while
China is considered the land of prom
Use for our farmers and manufacture
ers," says he, 1.-THE Importance of the
knowledge of the Chinese language is
greatly undervalued. submit the de-
tails of a recent interview with a lin
guist who has given special attention
To this subject. 1t is well understood
that in order to enter into perman-
ent commercial relations with a for
eign country il is indispensable to
know its language. When Russian in
dustries began to develop the Germans
recognized hat in order to engage in
profitable trade in that country it was
necessary to learn Russian, and there
is now no country where the Russian
language 10 SO much taught as in Ger
many.
"The Chinese language is telegraph
ic. 1t conveys the idea and not the
word for the thing, asthe figure - rep
resents the idea and not the word. The
Chinese have invented more than 40,-
600 marks for their writing, In the
opinion of my informant il will require
only about 1900 marks for mercantile
correspondence, and it will be easier
to learn them than the words of an
ordinary foreign language.
Russian is more difficult for Amer
leans than Chinese. II takes much
longer to learn the spoken language,
because Of the variety of dialects; but
any one who can learn enough of the
writings To answer ordinary purposes
in a few months and have his knowl-
edge perfected by a linguist within
about a year. An exact instruction in
one Of the Chinese languages can only
be given by a Chinaman.
This method has been adopted in
Germany, Besides the professor for
the theory Of language, there are four
Chinese hnguists in the Oriental SEM
mary Of Berlin teaching the business
style and the language Of Picking,
Shanghai and Canton. 1t Is not intend
ed to fit pupils for the diplomatic serv-
ice, but for commercial work"
