where white Ants Are Useful.

A white ants nest is about the last
thing in the world one would expect TO
be Of practical service to mankind, yet
in Western Australia white ants and
their nests are put 10 a variety of eco
noniic uses.
In the FIRST, place the aborlgines
sometimes eat the ants. and there are
even a few white residents who have
tasted them for the sake of experience
and say they are not bad. But 1t is
not habit with the aborlgines to eat
the Insects They prefer 10 deyour the
mold out OF which the ants build their
nest.
Capital ovens are frequently impro-
vised by the Australian prospector out
of these white ant mounds. They make
a solid floor. almost like cement, for
the settlers huts. and in the township
of Derby, in Western Australia. they
have been turned TO profitable use by
being rolled N rs a top layer on the
public roads.

ANOTHER YEAR TO WAIT
Children Attending nulchay School
Must Continue to Suffer.

The aldermen will meet tonight and
before they adjourn it is thought that
the blowing of the 8 O'Clock whistle
from now on will be assured Another
matter the board should attend to is
the approaches to the Mulcahy school
building. The department of public
works has recommended that the
street running south from Luke street
to the school remain in its present
shape for another year. which means
that children will have to paddle
through couple of feet Of slush to
reach the building or remain at home
the greater part of the time. 1t is
small job and there is no reason in the
world why it should have been put on
the waiting list The fact that a. lot
of favoritism was shown in the layout
of the street has nothing to do with
the case at this stage of the game.
That was cut and dried long before the
board voted to build school in that
part of the town There is nothing TO
be gained by staving off action on the
working of the street, such action Is
simply adding insult to injury. The
aggrieved parties are fully cogn1zant OF
what has been done there and the WY
and wherefore of it, too, but as the
wrong cannot now be righted they feel
that the school children should not be
made victims of the abuse of power.
The aldermen should take hold Of that
project and pass it along TO the bureau
of assessment and request, If they have
no right to instruct. the board of pub
lie works to make provision to put the
street in passable condition before the
bad weather sets in.

AMERICANS noNoR cERvERA.
Demonstrations of Gratitude
Spanish Admiral at Medina

Demonstrations of Gratitude to
Spanish Admiral at Medina
MEDINA-SIDONIA, Spain, July II.
AS a demonstration Of gratitude re-
garding his conduct at Santiago and his
care of American sailors, Admiral Ger
vera was presented here with an en-
crossed message bearing the signatures
of a number of well known Americans,
besides letters from the subscribers,
bound in volume The presentation
was made by Mr.. Bird of Vienna in
behalf of his fellow Americans.
The admiral in returning thanks for
this manifestation of American good
will said that his conduct toward Lieu
tenant Hobson and the American sail
ors after the sinking Of the Merrtmac
had been inspired by superior orders.
Admiral Cervera had repeatedly re
fused to permit his American admirers
to SO honor him, but Notwithstanding
these refusals the plan to make the
presentation was carried out.
