THE FIERCEST CREATURES
ARE ANTS AND PARROTS.
So Says n Man Who Has Lived
Where They "RuIe the Roost."


Where They "RuIe the RoOst."
Lions and tigers are all very we'll in
their way, but as really fierce and in
vincible creatures, ants and parrots
bear off the palm.
Parrots, when in their native wilds.
live in flocks, and guard themselves by
a complete police system, which enables
them to marshal their collective force
quickly when any animal or bird at
tacks one of their number.
They seem to be disciplined and train
ed in fighting together, and all other
birds and animals are afraid to attack
a parrot unless the bird can be caught
alone. Even then shrill call sum-
mons the parrot army to the rescue.
1t is said that in the forests all par
rots die of old age and that none is
ever killed by birds of prey or other
wild animals.
The soldier ant is not only invinci-
BILE when attacked, but will make the
attack himself with great fierceness
and put to rout even a lion.
A missionary recently returned from
Central Africa says of these ants:
"One sees them busy in innumerable
battalionS, ranked and disciplined,
winding away along like a broad black
ribbon of watered silk. Nothing can
stop them nor change their route.
For an inanimate object, they turn
aside and pass on. If it is a living OBJ
ject which bars the way they assail it
venomouSly crowding on each others
backs to the attack, while the main
army passes on, business-like and si-
lent.
IF the object is trench or a stream,
they mass themselves on the edge OF
the water and remain quiet for while.
1t looks as if they were holding a coun-
Gil to consider what should be done
next. Then, suddenly, the word for
ward Is apparently given, the mass
stirs and the army launches itself upon
the waves"
A multitude of the soldiers thus is
sacrificed for the common good, and
these legions which know not what it is
to be beaten, pass on over the bodies
of their victims to their destination. A
lion, tiger, man, or even an elephant,
caught in the path of the ant army
finds safety only in fight. Otherwise
the fierce warrior ants swarm upon
him and tear him with hundreds OF
thousands Of sharp little jaws, which
will eat him to the bone If he does not
escape out of the line of march.

IsHE SMASHED HUBBY
He Had Been Saved From Drowning
but She Didn't Like His
| Companion.

Atlantic City, NJ, j.. Aug. GA hus-
band, his wife and pretty girl created
intense excitement in the bathing dis
trict yesterday afternoon.
The husband, who was disporting in
the surf, suddenly became exhausted un-
der the steeplechase pier and yelled for
help. After a struggle the life guards
succeeded in bringing him ashore. The
bather was bruised and bleeding from
being dashed against the iron piling.
An unknown young woman who wit
messed the thrilling rescue became ex-
cited with joy over his escape from death
and Rugged and kissed the man. 1t may
be that he was too dazed to resist. A
woman pressed herself thru the crowd
that gathered and appeared to be bent on
reaching the side of the embracing couple.
She got to them just as the young woman
wiped the blood from the mans hand.
Without saying a word the newcomer
planted terrific right-hand hook in the
mans face and she followed it by several
more. The man broke and fed. The
newcomer, who turned out to be the mans
wife, then made for the girl, who was
running towards the water. The latter
entered the breakers and the irate wife
refused to follow. The wife assembled the
steps leading to the boardwalk near North
Carolina avenue, and, seeing the several
thousand curious people, loudly ex-
claimed:
''Well, if you want to see me, here I
am. I've been married to that man for
seven years. He was in company with
another woman, and smashed him.
That's all there is to it,,
The throng applauded and dispersed.

Herbert Coventry who says he comes

on his way to Bristol, whittier he goes in
search Of the treasure-house Of the Algon-

ton, Is located In hidden caves in the side
of South Mountain. -.
He was in great spirits when he left,
and, like many another who has made the
search, was sure he, would unearth the
= long-lost wealth In short order. Old In
habitants who have seen other treasure
hunters regard the man as one more add
ed to the list of treasure seeking cranks.
Like most of the other hunters, Coven-
try has a map which he Is sure will guide
him to the piles of silver ingots supposed
to have been originally discovered by one
De Grau, a Spaniard, nearly 200 years ago.
And grewsome affair this map is, for
- the outlines and locations are all tattooed
on human skin. 1t was this map that
first called public attention to the hunter.

ago he met in the London slums Span

man saw to 1t that he was properly cared
for in public hospital. He spoke some

character that Coventry, who was an In
surance solicitor, frequently visited him.
The man said that his family had formerly
been wealthy, and once he declared that
II he could get well enough to go to Amer
lea he would soon recoup his fortunes.
One day Coventry was summoned to the
hospital and was told that his friend was
dying. The man asked the surgeon to

buried treasure.
There are enough silver inngots In a
hidden chamber in the side of an Ameri-
