san Sulzer, who apparently dropped
dead ten days ago, as she was entering
her home in Cannellton, and whose body
was placed in the cemetery vault two
days later, is believed by many persons
to be alive.
Her relatives are convinced that life
is not extinct, and specialist from Ciu
cinnati has been summoned, and an in
vestigation will be made. During the
time the body has been in the vault, it
has been watched closely, and several
times apparent signs Of life have been
detected.
Since her supposed death, the wound
on her head caused by the fall has con-
tinued to bleed at intervals, and hor
face remains flushed. A few days ago
a local physician punctured one Of her
fingers and brought blood.

Chicago, March 22.-Walter Wellman.
n Washington special to the Record
Herald, says:
How to deal with Castro, the iack-in-
the.box dictator Of Venezuela, who has
bobbed up again, is serious problem
with the American government and also
with the governments of France and
Italy. 1t is much more serious conun-
drum at Washington than it is at Paris
and at Rome, because the foreign gov
ernments have free hand to do as they

France and Italy, who are eager to

Venezuela, ruthlessly assaulted by this
freebooter dictator, have intimated that
they would like the United States gov
eminent to represent them in admins
tering some sort Of discipline to the
jack-in.the-box.
Roosevelt Is Puzzled.
But President Roosevelt is not likely
to accept this responsibility, because he
IS much puzzled to know what to do
to protect the interests Of our own citi-
zens, let alone taking up the cudgel for
other governments.
The president is greatly hampered by.
the restrictions seemingly placed upon
him by congress during the recent ses-
| sion as well as by the constitution Of
the United States. For example, hs
cannot seize Venezuelan customhouse,
even as trustee or by arrangement with
| the Venezuelan government if such an
arrangement were possible, without the
assent of the senate: To seize a custom
house by force would be tantamount to
making war without the authorization
| OF congress.
Castro Holds Whip Hand.
If Castro is smart enough to refuse
arbitration and to refuse to do Justice
to the. American interests involved, it
IS difficult to see what action the adj
ministration can take to bring him to
terms. The president can send warships
to Venezuelan waters, but what are
they to do after they get theres To
establish blockade by force is to make

Antipathies Of Animals.

The circus actor sat in the winter
training quarters. Under his supervi
sion a thin boy was learning to ride
erect on a quiet horse with a broad,
fiat back.
In some towns they won't let us
show" said the man, unless we have
no camels with us. Camels are a
serious drawback to shows. Horses
are so much afraid of them that lots
of towns won't let a camel enter their
gates.
"A horse won't go near a piece OF
very smell of camel in the air will
make horse tremble and sweat.
And this fear isn't only found occa-
sionally in horse here and there.
It is found in every horse all over the
world. Queer. isn't it? I often won
der why it is. Cattle hate dogs in
the same way, and cats hate dog so,
too. Here, though, we can account
for the hatred. Dogs in primitive
times fed on cattle, no doubt, and
even today, here and there, they kill
and feed on kittens.
Horses love dogs. I'm sure I don't
know why. Dogs fear no animals
but pumas and leupards. You can
take dog up to a lions or 4 tigers
cage, and he will show no fear; but
take him up to the cage OF the puma
Or a leopard and he will tremble and
moan and stink away out Of sight.

OUR AGRICULTURAL ANTS.
A Texas Species Operates a Com.
n1unaI Farm and Harvest crons

A Texas Species Operates a Com
munal Farm and Harvest Crops.
Entomolcgists recently have been
making a study of certain ants, found
In Texas and northern Mexico, which
seem to be the most remarkable in.
sects OF their kind in existence. They
have communal farm which they
plant with grain every spring, reap.
ing the harvest in the autumn and
storing it away in their suDterraneaD
graneries. Apparently, they depend
for subsistence almost wholly upon
this crop.
In parts of Sonora the farms OF
| these ants cover tracts that extend
over many square miles, and practi-
| cally the only vegetation is the seed
| bearing grass planted by the insects.
Each settlement is plainly indicated
to the view by circular patch Of
bar ground from ten to thirty fee. in
diameter, around which is a broad
strip of growing grain in summer.
In the center Of the bare patch is
hole leading down 10 an elaborate
system of rooms and galleries be-
meath the surface.
In the bare patch no sprout of any
growing thing is permitted to show it.
self-the reason, as surmised, being
that plants in the immediate neigh
bovhood Of the nest would interfere
with the activities of the inhabitants
and afford shelter to possible ene-
mics, while the roots would be liable
to penetrate the underground CALLER
les.
The gateway is opened every morn
ing and closed every eveni.lg. Ii a
storm threatens it is shut.
The communal dwelling below
ground is most complicated and very
extensive, being divided W into work
ing rooms, living rooms, grararies,
and nurseries fer rearing the larvae. |
All OF the rooms are connected by
galleries, and usually they have doms
shaped ceilings, the walls and floors
being carefully smoothei and ccvered
with sort OF plaster. AS rule
there is one large storage room, about
two inches high by three or four inch |
es in length, and there are many |
smaller grain bins, some OF which ars |
sealed when full.
In the autumn, when the grain il
ripe. the worker ants go ou. into
their titled fields and pick up the |
seeds which have fallen. These they
carry to the ''formicary,'' holding
them in their jaws, and, while the
harvest is in progress, each of sew
eral straight roads which radiate
form the nest is occupied by a dou.
