Some Ants That Farm.

H. c. McCook in Harpers Magazine.
 Briefly, the interior formicary was found to be a series of large chambers arranged in irregular stories like the Roman catacombs, and connected at many points by tubular galleries leading to the central gate. Some of these caves were used as nurseries for eggs, larvae, and antlings; some were occupied by the winged queenlings and males, and by the fertile queens. But many were granaries. Nearest the top were unhusked seeds, such as the ants had been seen gathering Farther down we're storerooms of naked seeds, and these were identified as ant rice, needle-grass, buffalo-grass and vari- ously oily seeds nuts, such as had been taken from the workers in the field, and whose shells had been found in the Mathematician. The demonstration was completel as far as field observation could go. Pogonomyrmex barbatus is true harvester veritable Agricultural antp
 The excavation was necessarily slow since the purpose was to study the in- terior architecture and collect material. This required to be done piecemel and most carefully, constantly guarding against the falling in of the soil. Only a few feet in depth was therefore ac- complished. but ahis sufficed. In one nest, however, fournately exposed by a deep cutting, the galleries and chambers were traced to a depth of fifteen feet. One may imagine the enormous work in- volved in carrying the formicary to such A depth, or even much less, beneath the space covered by circle ten or twelve feet in diameter.
 The strain of such use upon the ants working tols--the mandibles-must be great How does 1t affect them? An in- teresting fact developed from examina- tions of the mandibles of many speci- ments The normal jaw has well-defined teeth, sharp and hard.

The Case of Senator Mitchell.

From the Washington Post
 The jury system, despite Secretary Taft's pessimistic forebodings, is again vindicated Out in Oregon jury Of twelve average American citizens has unanimously convicted a man in high official position of violating the law. This conviction is all the more praise worthy because the crime involved IS viewed by many people with extreme toleration. Senator Mitchell was nei- ther A murderer, a burglar, nor forger. He simply accepted money for dong legal work which, as Senator of the United States, he should have done for nothing. He was guilty, in fact of A petty form of graft. It was
 wrong of course, for him to use offi- cial position for private advantage; and vet he probably reasoned that hundreds of others had pursued the same course without punishment, and that he was not even an ofender.
 If Is to the everlasting credit of Ore pon that her people, although they had
 bonored Senator Mitchell by electing him five times to the United States Senate could, when the choice was im-
 pcratiye, decide between sentimental reoard and a stern sense of duty. They cast behind them every personal con sideration. They eliminated at one
 stroke the record of Mir. MitchelPs
 services in their state. They forgot
 his gray hairs. They judged him ac-
 cording to the law and the evidence and found him guilty We can well imagine that it must have been sad
 task for these jurymen to perform.
 M ,r fact that they did their duty so
 well may, we think, be traced to
 causes which are b.. no means con
 Anad to Oregon. There has been; first
 of m all a great wave of reform sweep
