ANTS THAT EAT ROCK.

Ants.

recently by the discovery that about
seven miles OF their cable. though Il

ground In a concrete trough. had been
severely damaged. For the greater
part OF the length oval holes had been
bored quite through the casing down
to the copper wire itself
II was agreed that insects must have
been the authors OF the mischief.
though what kind OF insects was not
obvious. II might be possible to find
one which enjoys perforating lead. But
these insects seemed 10 have drilled
the holes, not In order 10 make a pas
sage. but by way Of making a meal.
They had taken a dinner Of six
courses. consisting first OF tarred rope.
then OF lead then OF twisted rope. then
Of tape. then OF hemp fiber. and lastly
Of India rubber. The copper strand
bad been too much for them
Portions OF the damaged cable were
sent TO the natural history museum
with the hope that some opinion nigh.
be given. and the oracle replied that
there could be little doubt that the
damage was caused by whito ants.
Specimens OF their peculiar forms OF
appetite and industry are kept In the
museum. which show not only that
they will eat lead, but will also bore
through hard sandstone rock.

And I sit in the glow OF II:
AS each moment fades and dies,

As / watch the flames aspire,
My thought, too, scars above
To the Heart OF infinite love;
May my soul burn and glow,
AS more Of Thyself I knowl

May my door be open wide
To Thy wandering ones outsidei

The depth and the breadth Of Love;
So kindle more love divine

Tho the night be dark and damp.
And the merciless. pelting rain
Beats on my window pane.
Within doth Cheer prevail
May my soul-cheer never fani
Love Is the center of Home:
Whene'er its inmates come,
Love greets them and leads them In
To her innermost shrine within:
So, Lord, in my heart and face

ing Of delight. Then, often, while the
echo rang. | would open my eyes and
watch the light grow in the dusly
cavern of the woods. He would sit
DOING awhile after the first outbreak.
and presently as the flood of light grew
clearer, lift himself little, take an
other peep at the sky, and crow again,
turning his head TO hear those weird,
hooking ROSTERS of the timber-land.
Then, shortly, I would hear my father
poking the fire OF saying. as he patted
the rooster: Sass 'em back, We noisy
little bratl Thet's right; boiler. Tell
D'ri it's time t bring some wood fer
the fire."
In few minutes the pot and kettle
would be boiling and the camp all
astir. We had trout and partridge and
venison a-plenty for our meals, that
were served in dishes of tin. Break
fast over, we packed our things. The
cart went on ahead, my father bring
ing the oxen, while started the sheep
with D'ri.
Those sheep were as many thorns In
our flesh that day we made of in the
deep woods from Lake Champlain.
Travel was new to them. and what
with tearing through thickets and run
ming wild in every slash, they kept us
jumping. When they were leg-weary
and used to travel, they began to go
quietly. But slow work II was at best,
10 or IL miles day being all we could
do, for the weather was hot and our
road like the way of the transgressor.
Our second night in the woods we
could hear the wolves bowling as we
camped at dusk. We built our FIRE
near the shore of a big pond, its still
water framed in the vivid green of
young tamaracks. A great hill rose
on the farther side of 1t, with galleries
of timber sloping TO the summit, and
peopled with many birds. We huddled
the sheep together in a place where
the trees we're thick, while father
brought from the cart a coil of small
rope. We wound II about the trees,
so the sheep were shut in a little yard.
After supper we all sat by the fire,
while D'ri told how he had been chased
by wolves in the beaver country north
Of us.
D'ri was an odd character. He had

WISE DADDY.

When daddy was my age he knew
At least Ave times more than do;
That was because he read and read
Until he had just filled his head
With all the things you learn At scfoo
From fractions to the golden rule.
MY dad he had no time at all
TO spin a top or throw ball;
But soon ms school was out, he had
To run and hurry home like mad
To DO the errands for HIS dad
He'd do them all and not get mad,
And then he'd sit right down and pore
His history and grammar DER.
And that's why dad is so smart now,
That when I go and ask him how
To 90 n sum, he looks at me
And then most weeps in misery
And drops his paper and says: "HSri
when was half your age, and
Got such an easy 'zample Ned,
! used 10 do II In my head"
! make him feel so bad that he
simply CAN'T do the sum for me.
