THE BUSY LITTLE ANTS
What An Observer Saw the intelligent
 Insects Do.

A writer in the London News de- scribes a little town of ants which he l observed under a magnifying glass at a recent exhibition. He says:
 T watched them for a long time, and saw that they are very wise for they believe in cooperation; that is, in helping one another. Some grain had been scattered in this little country of theirs, and they were gathering it to- gether in one place Sometimes when one ant found that he alone could not move large grain, he fetched helpers, and, so working together they shifted it. and placed each grain by the side of another, like a builder would lay his bricks when making a wall.
 'They had formed quite a little city, and had even made roads and streets along which they were continually run ming at their work. Yes, Ant-town, for we must give their city a name, was full of busy little people. All had some duty to do. Those who were not workers were soldiers These trotted up and down the roads along the edge of the town, cs f ready to keep off any enemy, or give the others warning that danger was coming.
 "The intelligence of these wonderful little insects is marvellous. A traveller in the West Indies tells how thousands of ants were once journeying when they came to a railway. Time after time, while crossing 1t, a train would come along and kill hundreds of them, so what do you think these wise ants did? They actually made tunnels underneath the railway lines, and so passed through safely.
 Now English ants do not lay in a store of food for the winter, as many think, but they collect leaves for they can feed on the fungus which grows on damp leaves However, they do store their eggs during the winter, so that the young workers can be matched in the summer. It is then that the ants again show how intelligent and wise they are, for the eggs are matched by the warmth of the sun, and in the ant hills there are numerous little rooms, called cells some near the sur face of the earth and others farther underneath, and ants shift the eggs every day, either upstairs or down. stairs, in order that they shall not get too hot or too cold, for that would kill the little ants inside.
 "I sometimes think that ants must be jolly people, for they are so busy, and seem so full of life and health It is no doubt because they are always trying to do something, for lazy people are not really happy"

JOE SOLOS WILL
 ADMITTED TO PROBATE
The Distribution OfHis Estate Among
 Relatives in Italy.

The will of Giuseppe Tognacioli was admitted to probate yesterday. Fog nacioli was a well known cattleman of this part of the country, though he was better known by the name of Joe Solo, to which his foreign name had been shortened by the early settlers, who had so much other work to do that they could not afford to spend much time with long -winded names.
 Tognacioli died at San Diego about three weeks ago and his body was brought back here for burial. His es- tate~ consists mostly of cattle running on the range on Humbug creek, not far from it's junction with the Agua Fria. The value of it is unknown. but it is supposed to be worth about S12,- 900. Frank J. Alkire is named in the will as the executor of the estate.
 The only relative in this part of the country is Joe Padrona, nephew, who is to receive under the will twenty-five head of cattle and if it is found advis- able to sell the range, he is also to be allowed that. But if the range shall be sold the proceeds of the sale are to be turned into the estate and to be divided under the provisions of the will.
 There is bequeathed to the mother of TognacioH, Maria Tognacioli nee Pad roma of Villa di Chiavenna, Italy, the sum of 5000. A like sum will go to the aunt of the testator, Domeniea Padrona of the same place.
 In case either or both of these ben eficiaries should die before the distri- button of the estate the sums be- queathed to them shall revert to the es- tate and it shall then be divided equal ly between the brother and sister of the testator.

SCORES OF DISTANT FRIENDS
To Be Delighted by Gins From the
 Big CuriO Store.

There is another busy rush at Balke's Big Curio store. So many Phoenix people are getting ready to go away to visit friends in different parts of the country and they want to take with them gifts which they think will be ap- preciated. They are aware that there is no other place like the Big Curio store to find such a variety of gifts and especially at such prices as are now prevailing there. They are sure of talk ing to their friends something that they cannot buy at home and which will therefore be all the more valued. There is a great variety of Navajo sil- yer jewelry, Mexican carved leather work, burnt leather pillows, genuine Mexican drawn work and Mexican ze- rapes.
 Among those who have bought large ly of the gifts for friends abroad is Mrs. Julia Lount, who will leave in a day or two for Leipsig, Germany. on a visit to her daughter and grand daugh- ter. Two especially handsome gifts purchased by her were the most expen- sive of the Navajo silver bracelets, the demand for which is increasing so steadily and so rapidly that it is amounting to a furore. The assured genuineness of the articles adds much to their value.
 Those attractive prices on every thing will prevail throughout the sum mer or until the opening of the com ing season. MT. Bake is, by the way rapidly arranging his affairs so that he can set out on his annual purchas- ing tour, which will be one of the most extensive he has ever taken. and he will arrange in the course of it for the most extensive collection of curios and useful articles ever collected together in the southwest

THF ELECTRIC RAILWAY
 TOO SWIFT FOR TUCSON
The Trouble the Natives Have In
 Getting Used to It.

Tucson. like every other struggling
 municipality is to be congratulated on l her new street cars Electric care are a
 necessity in these days and every city
 has to have them before it amounts to much. Still a town ought not to exert | itself beyond its strength. Every child
 has to learn to walk before he can run
 and there seems to be grave doubt whether Tucson after $40 years of childhood has yet got beyond the walk ing age
 Tucson has had street cars now for three or four weeks and is proud of it. And Arizona is proud of Tucson, but she must remember that modern utili- ties must be handled with care. Gas. electricity and whiskey are three valu- able servants of man when he can keep them in control. but each and all of them are cruel and relentless masters. The installation of the street car ser vice was hailed with loud acclaim. The big man of the town turned on the juice and away went the rolling stock amid the plaudits of the multitude.
 Since that time, just few brief days ago, one man has been killed by being thrown from a ear and a similar ac- cident to another citizen occurred last Saturday night though it did not end fatally. There have been numerous minor troubles reported, large part of the news in the Tucson papers being made up of street car incidents. On one occasion a handsome young lady with toe slippers got off the car bare footed or at least with nothing on but her stockings, which in these open work days amounts to about the same thing. half dozen young gallants ran after the car to save the shoe and protect the foot so they might with assurance

LARGE INTER BEDS.
Indications That California May Be-
 come Competitor of Chile.

Chile, which has for many years pro- vided the world with it's supply of hitter, is likely to have a formidable competi- tor in the state of California. Niter is the material which forms the basis of gunpowder manufacture. State Miner alogist Aubury of California thinks he knows where he can go in that state to put his hand on big hitter beds and the United States geological survey has been sufficiently interested in his state ments to undertake a special inquiry, which it will do next fall.
 The hitter beds of California are in the northern part of San Bernardino county, and in the southern part of Injo county. The nitrates are found in round knobs, buttes and ridges ranging in height from 50 to 30 feet The re- sembIances between the California and Chilean hitter beds are marked and nu- merous.
 The hitter of both countries was form ed under the same geological conditions and on the same huge scale. It is es- timated by the California mining bu- reau that the hitter districts of the state cover about 35.000 acres containing more than 22.OOO.OOO tons.

suPERsTITIoNs OF SAILORS.
Some Uneanny Phenomena That AssaiI
 the Seafarinc Man.

All sailors are superstitious, and the legends of the sea are legion, ranging from phantom ships to spectral lights suddenly gleaming from yardarms and mastheads. That many of these leg ends are very ancient may be proved by the fact that sea harpies are described by Homer and Hesiod, while according to Virgil they plundered Aeneas during his voyage to Italy. The beautiful sirens. too. are of classic origin.
 Weird, indeed are the tales of haunt ing spectres. fit to send ones nerves a shivering after a hearty supper, well suited for Christmas time ghost stories.

THE SAVING SENSE OF HuMoR.

The Rev. W. A. Quayle suggested. in an address at the First Methodist church of Englewood Sunday afternoon, that many civic problems would be- come much easier of solution if the re- sponsible public officials could somehow have injected into them a proper and saving sense Of humor.
 There is great merit in this sug- gestion. as clearly appears from the case of local interest by which Dr. Quayle illustrated the point. He re- called how his hearers pass daily along streets where the pavements are full of holes so wide and deep that loaded teams could hardly get along at all were it not for the paving between the ear tracks, put in and kept in order not by the government of the people" but by "soulless corporation"
 Then as you amble along" he con- tinued, you hear some talk about the city running the street cars. That's a joke, isn't it? Imagine them running the street cars when they cannot keep the holes out of the streets"
 According to the most modern phi losoDhers laughter. the product of the sense of humor, Is not an expression of the emotions of joy and peace but of destruction and warfare. In proof they point out that laughter is invariably excited by the ignorance, the folly, or the misfortunes of others.
 Whether this be exactly true or not might be endlessly debated. It is cer- tainly true that a sense of humor and the laughter which expresses it are great and beneficial correctors of folly, and especially of ones own folly. The man who looks on life neither friv- olously nor too seriously. but with saving sense of humor, may be wicked, but he will never be that creature with out whom wiekedness could not thrive, a fool who thinks himself wise
 For 1t is unquestiOnably true that men harm themselves and each other, Individually and collectively, by their folly more than by their willful wicked ness. If there is a blessing for which each of us ought to pray daily and hourly, 1t is for the saving sense of humor to keep us from foIly.-From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
