ANTS BUILD ROADS
HIGHWAYS OF THOROUGH SCI
ENTIFIc CONSTRUCTION.
Infinite Pains Taken by Industrious
Little Creatures in the Formation
OF Their Homes-Work Under Or.
ders, With Good Discipline.


The greatest road builders in the
world are species Of red ants found
in South America. In building a road
they carry minute particles of clay,
with which they line all the roads
as we'll as the galleries and passages
of their nests till they look as smooth
as il cemented by master mason.
Some idea of their number can be
formed when it is remembered that
the whole of this road to their tree,
perhaps nearly half a mile long, is
densely thronged with multitude 60
ing out empty and coming back with
their umbrellalike burdens, while
thousands upon thousands swarm in
| the doomed tree.
That this vast army is under the best
discipline can be proved by watching
them for only a few moments. The
drivers are constantly running up and
down giving their orders to the work
ers, which they do by touching heads
for a moment. The individual so
touched, will stop, turn back, hurry
forward, or show in some such way
that he is following some command.
but better proof of the discipline is
| found in the fact that when the army
meets with an obstacle, such as log
or large stone, there is a jam of
| ants on both sides and they run about
| in. dismay and disorder. Instantly the
drivers hurry up, showing the great
est excitement and run over, around
and under the impeachment to find the
best way out of the difficulty. When
| they have decided they lead off the
line of march in the proper direction
But until they take this step the work.
e:s make no attempt to pass the OBJ

When selection of level piece OF
| ground has been made a perpendicu
lar shaft some eight inches in diane
| ter and six or seven feet deep is
formed. This is for drainage and
ventilation, never for ingress OF
egress. If the ground slopes the
| shaft is horizontal, the mouth, OF
course, being at the bottom of the
| hill. From the perpendicular shaft
commencing at the bottom, radiate
galleries, like the spokes of wheel
set at a slight angle. At the end OF
each series of galleries spokes a cir
cular gallery is made, forming, as il
were, set of wheels, one above the
other. In, or rather above, these cir
cular galleries the nests or dwelling
places are constructed. These are
oval in shape and about foot long
The narrow end of the oval is down

Use Of the Mulch.

Last week in taking trip of some
scores OF miles from home, I noticed
a good many patches of strawberries
from which the cover had been taken
on and thrown between the rows for
mulching purposes. The uncovered
vines were looking unusually green
and fine and the straw between the
rows being still bright helped to set
them OF in delightful contrast. 1t re-
minded me of the fact that the use of
the mulch is increasing. 1t is appa-
rent that the time of burning old
straw stacks is past. We can use
them for mulch to good advantage at
any time, and when the straw gets
too old for that purpose it can be plow.

was up in Wisconsin last fall and
saw one farm in which potatoes were
being grown under the straw The
potatoes had been laid in thoroughly

them. In time they had sprouted and
sent their tops above the straw while
their roots had gone into the ground

believe we are just at the begin

As a straw. showing the direc-

election last week was unmis-
taxable. Edward F. Dunno,
democrat, was elected mayor by
a majority OF 25000 over Harlan,
republican, the issue being mu-
nicipal ownership of public util.
tiles, warmly advocated by the
democrat and as warmly oppos'

no doubt but that the tendency
of the times is toward municipal
ownership of such utilities as
waterworks, lighting and other
such plants.

seemed not to know. In order to tell
what she had learned she began to
write articles for educational maya
zines and to give talks to teachers. The
studies continued; the educational pa
pers increased in Importance; the talks
widened out till they became lectures,
which teachers throughout the country
wanted to hear.
At present Mrs. Warner gives all her
time to writing and lecturing It is
one of her ideas that the whole all
around education of child should be-
gin at the very beginning of under
standing and all its faculties be devel-
oped at once For instance, she would
have an infants ethical training COM
mence when it learns its letters. She
found no school readers that met this
plan of gradual mental and moral de
velopment. so she herself prepared a
set for use either in school or at home.
Each book was to take some one moral
theme and ring changes on it in its
many ramiications till the child fac
ulty answering TO that theme should
be awakened and developed.

a Woman Soldier.

In one of the rough riding Cossack
regiments of the Russian army in Man
churia is soldier enrolled as Michael
Nicholaievitch The soldier was born
and bred on the Manchurian border, so
knows that language as well as Rus
sian. Special scouting service this sol
der is detailed for and is noted as one
of the most daring Of all in the Cos
sack regiment This soldier is in reali-
ty woman, whose true name is Helen
Smoke. She wears the regular Cos
sack uniform and is an unerring shot.
She could shoot and ride when she was
only eight years old Nothing daunts
Helen Smolko even in the cold and
rough Manchurian land Frequently
in her scouting expeditions she rides
fifty to sixty miles at a stretch.
A few officers know the secret of
Helen Smokes sex, but they do not re
veal it to the regiment or army.
Michael Nicholaievitch' services as a
scout are too important to be dispensed
with
