light comedian was then predicted
FOR him, but no one expected the
deep, serious and lofty temper the
young comedian of that day has since
put forth. Sothern's second effort
was as the foppish. eccentric Lord
Chumley, the character that brought
to mind slightly his fathers great
success in Lord pundreary." Next
came SOthern's m-pers0natiOn of the

All these three represented comedy
in its purest sense, but 1t remained
for SOthern's performance of "Sher-

his more serious ambition, and his
portrayal of the disslpated Duke OF
Guise in The Dancing Girl" and the
fascinating Captain L~etteTblair to
convince his clientele and his serious
efforts were being established upon

advised him against representing this

lose the money he would invest. So
SOtheTn asked his wife. should we

He had shown his followers through
his already varied repertoire his
high rank as a comedian, emotional
and romantic actor, but it remained
for two more TO prove his right TO
Shakespeare. The first of these was
when he gave his wonderfully aTtis-
tic performance OF Heinrich in The
Sunkeu Bell" a role that called upon
the NOSE delicate touches of sphychO-
logical insight TO portray. This
clinched Sothern's position as a Sc
ri0Us actor, and led TO his portrayal
Of Hamlet. Tt was just four years
ago that Sotheru made his first ap-
p~earance as the melancholy Dane,
and the uccess he met with is too
well known TO require further COM

One of The most interesting observa-
tons made in ant life. says Andrew
Wilson. the scientist, was that which
showed that n certain red ant has
evolved the habit of web spinning. The
ways of this species We're noted In the
botan gardens at Peradeniya. Ceylon,
by Il. q. Green. The extraordinary
part of the story is that these ants
used larvae as their spinning machines,
the larvae employing their silk threads,
used to make the c%ocoons, as their sew
ing machines. Mr.. Green took some
lea YES which had been sewed together
by the ants and unfastened the stitch
o.. The separated edges We're drawn
together by the ants. IL then, an hour
afterward, the larvae or grubs, held
in the mouths of the ants, were seen
to be passed back ward and forward
across the gaps made in the leaves.
The movements of the grubs were du-
ly directed by the ants, n the silk
threads spun by the mouths of the lar
vac soon repaired the defects in the
leaves.
