ANTS NOSES.

There Are Five Of Them. and Eack,
Has Its Own Duty.
In their antennae, CT feelerS, ants
have five noses. each OF which has its
own duties to perform.
One nose tells the ant whether it is
in it's own nest or that Of an enemy;
another nose discriminates between
odors Of ants of the same species. but
Of different colonies: 4 third nasal or
gan serves the purpose Of discerning
the scent laid down by the ants own
feet. so that it may be able to retrace
the way quite easily: a fourth nose
smells the larvae and purae. and the
fifth nose detects the presence OF an
enemy.
If an ant be deprived Of I; certain
nose. it will live peaceably with enc
mics. but if it retains it's fifth nose it
will fight the alien to the death. There
is difference in the functions of nose
one and nose five. although they APP
pear TO lpc somewhat alike.
This sense OF smell does not come
till the ants are three days old. II.
therefore. ants only twelve hours OLD
are placed among others belonging to
different colonies. they Will grow up
quite amcably and not understand
that they are Il mixed lot. because
they will have grown up with ideas or
scent in accordance with their sur
rouudinys. The sense Of smell to them
Is as important as the sense Of sight
to human beings.

QUAINT SWISS FESTIVAL.
How the End Of Winter and Advent
of Spring Are Celebrated.

Switzerland has l3l.c; been known as
the land of festivals rich in local color,
such as tie Feast OF Tie Vines, in Can
IN Canton N;lais. One OF the quaintest
OF the old Helvetian popular feasts is
the Zurich annual LIBERATION, known
as the Sech:elauteE. This curious fete
has as its raison detre the burning Of
a toy snow man in commemoration of
the death of Winter and the birth Of
Spring.
The festival begins at s o'clock on
the morning Of Sechselauten, when a
procession of gayly attired boys and
girls is formed to escort the snow man
to the great public square, called Stad-
thausplatZ. Boys dressed as pierrots
drag the car on which the portly snow
man stands along the narrow streets Of
old Zurich. These pierrots are followed
by companies Of knights in armor,
members of the various guilds in their
respective picturesque costumes, COW
herders, fishermen and clowns, with a
car bearing the emblematic figure of
Spring in the rear.
This figure of Spring is greeted with
the cheers Of the crowd Of onlookers,
who have turned out to make merry
on what to them is the greatest fete
day of the year. Finally the procession
ends its long march at the Stadthaus-
platz, and the snow man, familiarly
known as Bogg, is placed on an i'm
mense pile of wood. AT this stage the
festivities are interrupted by luncheon.
and the crowd disperses until after
noon, when another and much more i'm
portant function takes place. a pro-
cession of guilds is formed. with each
member dressed in the costume of his
craft. as in medieval times, followed
by long line of artistically decorated
men.
Toward the end Of the afternoon the
procession reaches the Stadthausplatz.
where the Dogg is awaiting its doom.
The scene now becomes most pictur-
esque. The crowd Of onlookers, several
thousand strong, gathers round the
Bogg, while the neighboring lake is
dotted with boats filled with people.
Underneath the Bogg stand num-
Der of men, torch in hand. al ready to
put the pile on fire when the signal is
given. This signal is boom of bells
from the belfry near by. AS soon as
given the Bogg is in flames, and the
cheering of the people fills the air.
When finally the flames reach the
snow man a loud explosion takes place,
shattering the Bogg to pieces. This
is to proclaim to the populace that
winter has really passed away and
that spring is at hand. The cheers Of
the crowd increase, while all the
church bells are rung. Thus the festival
comes 10 an end, and the people Of
Zurich return to their homes to in
du!ge in banqueting and dancing.
which bring the day to close. Cafes
and restaurants are kept open all night
on this occasion, and the farmers as
selnbled from the villages of the can
ton continue their rejoicings until the
small hours of the morning.
The origin of the Sechselauten is un-
known, but dates back to the days OF
William Tell and of other classical
Swiss traditions.-New York Tribune.
