The Life of an Ant Queen.
From Harper's Magazine.

How long may an ant queen live?
In their natural habitat some queens
doubtless have short lives; but by
reason of the protection afforded
them; and the seclusion inforced BY the
workers, they probably live much
longer than other members of the COM
munity. Within artificial surroundings
they attain comparatively long life.
The Oldest emmett queen known to
science was one preserved under the
care OF Sir John Lubbock, late Lord
Avebury. A number of years ago.
during visit to this distinguished
naturalist at his country seat, High
Elms, Kent, the writer for the first
time saw this venerable sovereign. liv-
ing the ingenious artificial formicary
which had been prepared for her. She
was then in the prime of life, as it
afterward appeared. being seven years
old.
In the summer of 1887, Sir John was
again visited, this time at his town
house in London. After greeting. he
was asked about his royal pet.
have sad news to tell you." he
answered.
What? Is the queen dead?"
She died only yesterday 1 have
not had the heart to tell the news as
yet even to my wife"
lence, l asked to see the dead queen.
Sir John led the way to the room
where his artificial nests were kept.
The glass case which contained the
special formicary in which the old
ant had lived was opened up. Lying on
one of the larger open spaces or rooms
was the dead queen. She was sur
rounded by a crowd of workers, who
were tenderly licking her, touching
othed demonstrations as If soliciting
her attention, or desiring to wake her
out of sleep. Poor, dumb. loving faith
ful creatures! There was no response.
Ihelr queen mother lay motionless be-
meath their demonstrations.
They do not appear to have dis
covered that she is really dead" re-
marked Sir John. Afterward he wrote
me OF another queen which died at
the age of fourteen. The ants dragged
her body about with them when thew
moved until 1t fell to pieces.

THE 0GEECHEE CANAL.
A View That 1t ought to Be opene,


Savannah, Ca, May 3O.-Editor
Morning News: The interesting article
in your issue of the 18th instant, de-
scriptive of recent drainage operations
on the Springfield plantation, concludes
as follows:
ut is claimed now that the only
menace to the health Of the West Side
is the Ogeechee canal and the city is
making every effort to get the Central
Railway to fill in this canal. 1t is no
longer in use and is rank with vegeta-
ton, and in some places holds stagnant
water The filling up of the canal, it is
stated, would help the health of the
city to a great extent. The authorities
say that there is no problem to solve
so far as the Ogeechee canal is con-
cerned, and that the only difficulty of
drainage on the West Side has been
overcome"
Conceding that the Ogeechee canal,
in its present state, is a decided peril
to the public health. mot only of Sa-
vannah, but of large part of Chatham
county situate beyond the city limits),
l submit that the best interests of both
city and county would be more surely
and permanently advanced by re-estab-
fishing the canal than by abandoning
it.

PROBLEM IN CONsANGUINITY.

Augusta Tribune: The news of a
marriage in Burke county, near
Green's Cut, of a few days ago, which
gives the finishing touch to one of the
most mixed-up relationship affairs on
record, was received in Augusta to-
day. It seems that many years ago
there were two Miss Barneys, and one
married a Mr.. Nesbit and the other
married a Mr.. Griener. Mrs. Griener
raised a son by the name of Rob, and
Mrs. Nesbit raised daughter by the
name of Lolly, and when they grew
up they married. Mrs. Nesbit had a
son named Dan and Mrs. Griener had
a daughter named Alice. Strange to
say, they married when they grew up.
But that is not all. The last two cou-
pies now have grown children, and
MIR. and Mrs. Nesbits daughter, Helen,
a few days ago married Mr.. and Mrs.
Griener's son, Charles. What relation
was bride and groom and what rela-
ton will their children be one to the
other?
