Curious Traits Of Ants.

In the proceedings of the Philadet
phia academy Miss A. M. Fields 70
cords three instances Of curious traits
displayed by ants kept under observa'
ton in the laboratory at Woods Holl,
Mass In the first case the actions re-
corded suggest something akin to hyp-
notism, while from the third there
seems a possibility that these insects
may be able to remember and recog.
nize individuals of their own kind af'
ter a separation of several years. The
reactions of ants to vibrations is the
subject of another article in which 1t
ts urged that it. is misleading ia
ascribe or deny hearing to these in
sects. They are very sensitive to the
vibrations Of solids, but not to those
Of air.

LANGUAGES Of India.

Among the 145 distinct languages
spoken in British India are some pos
sessing only few hundred words,
others rivaling English, as DR.. Grier-
son says, or Russian. as would say,
in their copiousness: some in which
every word is monosyllable. others
in which some are elongated by ag-
glutination till they run to ten syl.
lables. like da-pa-i-ocho- o-akan-ta
tin-a-e-a Soutail word meaning: He
who belongs to him who belongs to
me will continue letting himself be
made to fight" Some Of these divers
tongues lack verb and noun, others
are as complex and systematic as

Oe'ps and Signs Used In Bargaining

Grips and Signs Used in Bargaining
for Precious Stones.
The peculiar business methods Of
oriental merchants are illustrated by
the manner Of buying rubies in Bur-
ma, says the jewelers. Circular
Weekly. In the examination of rubies
artificial light is not used, the mer-
chants holding that full sunlight alone
can bring out the color and brilliancy
Of the gems. Sales must, therefore,
take place between 8 a. M, and 3 p. m.,
and the sky must be clear.
The purchaser, placed near a win.
dow, has before him q large copper
plate. The sellers come to him one
by one and each empties upon this
plate his little bag of rubies. The pur-
chaser proceeds to arrange them for
valuation in q number of small heaps.
The first division is into three grades,
according to size; each of these groups
Is again divided into three piles &C
cording to color, and each Of these
piles is again divided into three
piles according to color, and each Of
these piles is again divided into three
groups, according to shape. The
bright copper plate has a curious
use. The sunlight reflected from It
through the stone brings out with
true rubies q color effect different
from that with red spinels and tour
malines, which are thus easily sepa-
rated.
TIE buyer and seller then 80
through very peculiar method Of
bargaining by signs or rather grins, IN

the fairness of the classification. they
join their right hands. covered with

ment, and by grips aud pressures
mutually understood among all these
dealers they make, modify and accept
proposals of purchase and sale. The
hands are then uncovered and the
prices are recorded.
