 This trench was manned heavily with artillery, which interfered seriously with the Russian fire. The Japanese then opened fire with six guns on the hill known as the Eagles Nest in the mean time continuing to use sandbags for the further strengthening of their newly en- trenehed positions. The Russians con- centrated their fire on the sandbags, the Japanese replying from another position three-quarters of mile northeast. The Novikra declares. in conclusion, that at 10 o'clock in the morning of August 26 the Japanese were unable longer to en- dure the bombardment, and abandoned the newly made trench to the north of Fort No. 2 and Wudianfan, fleeing to the low ground near the railroad.

RED ANTS FAITHFUL SERVICE.
What They Did When the Big Black
Ones Were Imprisoned.

On the stone steps Of house on the
"Hilp' are two wooden pillars, foot and
half apart. among the supports of the
porch. Recently big black ants have
been so abundant and aggressive about
their home, that all it's cracks and crew
ices were puttied up and it was deluged
with an ant-killing huid.
-Four days ago tiny snake-like line
was noticed between the two pillars. It
crooked and curved and looked as if some
thing had crawled through a light coat
ing of dust. leaving its trail there. On
close examination it proved to be line
of life. 1t was made up of countless
minute red ants, rushing madly, some III
one direction and as many IN the other,
some turning to the right and others to
the left, but all of them all the time
holding close to the circuitous route from
one post to the other and making the
snake line or worm line on the stone step.
During all these four days those little
bugs have been uninterruptedly busy
whenever they were looked at, night or
day. Once the stream was swept off
with broom. but in few minutes the
gap was closed and everything looked
Just as it had before. Apparently these
creatures are Carrying out of the disin
fected pillar the dismembered remains of
the black ants and depositing them in
the pillar that has not been subjected to
treatment
These small ants are so minute that
they are scarcely perceptible except in
the mass, and they can readily slip in
under the base of the pillars where the
black ones could not go. None of the
red ones have been seen thereabouts un-
til this remarkable procession began its
unceasing to and fro march. Are they
slaves of the black ones? And, if so
who gave them their orders to clean
house? Nothing interrupts them; they
even refuse to be tempted with sugar or
scared by water. When a little pool was
put in the path they filled it up with
their bodies and the next marched On.-
