Excavations Worth Millions.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
Twenty-Five million dollars is a conser-
vative estimate to place on the value of
one piece of property that consists of a
| huge gaping scar blasted in the face of
| the bed rock on which New York city is
built. What would your grizzled Forty
| miner say if such a statement could be
made to him? Probably that ''diggings"
in Manhattan Borough, New York city,
were worth more than the greatest gold
mines of California. And the real estate
dealers Of the city would agree with him.
Never before in it's history nave excava-
tons represented such fabulous sums as
they do at the present time. From the
CONSPICUOUS eXample-the hole in which the
Pennsylvania Railroads terminal station
will soon be built-to the latest eXcava-
tons for office buildings, hotels and apart
ment houses, untold millions exist In the
mere foundation holes prepared for New
Works. skyscraperS.
No better Illustration is to be had Of the
enormous fortunes spent in the acquisi-
ton of these sunken estates than that
afforded by the operation of the railroad
named, in the preparation of its new home
in New York. This terminal station, to be
the largest institution of its kind in the
world, is to occupy four blocks in the
heart of the city, the site selected extend
ing from Ninth avenue to Seventh avenue
and from Thirty-first street to Thirty
third street. These four blocks at one
time comprised a densely populated resi-
dence and business section, conducting its
varied businesses along almost every line
of commercial activity. But when it was
decided that the railroad station was to
occupy this territory the little city was
doomed to be wiped off of the map. OF the
property comprised within it's limits the
railroad company bought in the open mar
ket as much as it could purchase, enor-
nous prices being paid, the respective
owners of the houses, apartments, stores,
hotels and other business structures natur-
ally desiring not to give up the possession
of the places in which they were comfort
ably settled without being unusually well
compensated. But while some sold readily
to the agents of the company Others
fought with logged resistance not to be
ousted from their homes of a life time,
and the courts had to be resorted to. Then
the city appraisers stepped in, fixed fair
prices on the condemned property, and the
occupants were legally ousted. AS soon as
the various premises passed into the hands
of the railroad company they We're turned
over to professional wreckers, who at once
demolished the buildings, no matter how
ruthless sway of the new order; in one
ly built and extensively outftted, finding
it's way to the graveyard of the dealer in
second HAND material.
Sixteen million dollars is a conservative
estimate to place on the value of the
buildings alone that were thus DESTROYED
to make way for the digging of the big
hole. Sixteen million dollars worth of
structures were resolved in a few months
into a mass of debris

The Intelligence of carpenter.Ants.

IRON Harper'S Magazine.
1 once studied "a large colony OF car
penter ants that for several years had
lived and wrought within the heavy
corner beam of a iour mill at Bellwood,
Pa. One gang dropped the pellets from
a crack In the 12-inch beam which
opened into the next. These fell upon
a cross beam. eighteen inches beneath,
where another group of workers gath
cred them up and dropped them upor.
the stairway that led from the lower
story, the next being situated above the
second floor.
The miller. who had been about the
premises for several years, said that
when he first came the ants a third
gang detailed upon the stairway, sew
eral feet below. who cleared off the
dumpage and dropped it to the floor.
But as he swept the stairs daily, the
emmets discovered that their detail for
duty in that quarter was not needed,
and withdrew it. Thereafter work went
on as 1 saw 1.-THE clippings cast from
the cross-beam to the stairs were left
to the manipulations of the miller's
broom.
i nave frequentlyfound carpenter ants
lodged in the shade trees along city
streets and squares, and there they
have the same habit of sec~retiveness-
or is 1t cleanliness? -practiced by their
country congeners. Near my house stood
a maple much the worse for wear and
tear, although not old. On one side, n
few inches from the roots. was a small
tubular opening hidden behind q. bulg-
ing scale of bark. Out Of this ants We're
dropping cuttings, which formed a lit
tie heap upon the ground. Workers
wrought upon this pile, carrying pei
let's piece by piece to the pavement
curb and casting them into the gutter.
1t was interesting and amusing to
watch the little creatures in this act.
Having reached the curbstone, the wee
porter would rear upon her hind legs,
poise herself a moment thus, then
bending forward, release or cast the
chip from her jaws. The forfeit We're
used for this, being raised to the side Of
the face and placed against the pellet,
which by a sharp forward motion was
hurled away. Then would follow sew

lifted up the elected cutting and ar
ried it down the gutter. which for sew
eral feet was strewn with pellets. In
some way these emmett porters seemed
to have grasped the fact that the breeze
aided the disposal of the c%hippage.
which therefore need cause no further
concern.

agree to anything;

fed -'Iil agree to anythlng;;a
only save her!"
In an instant Wilmot had dropped
his rod and. tlinging off his coat as
he ran, sped along the top of the weir
till he reached the spot, toward which,
foam flecked water, the boat was now
swiftly speeding.
Kathleen, pale but possessed, stood
up in the boat to grasp Wilmot's out
stretched arms as the boat sped un-
der the water soaked, moss grown
| wood of the foot bridge.
He mad gained the exact spot where
she would pass to a picety. Their
hands %gflpped, held for a moment.
then, with a woman's Shrek of agony
ringing loudly in his ears, Wilmot was
jerked from his hold by the sudden
ness of the impact, to plunge head
foremost into the swirling, seething
flood of the backwater.
A second later he came to the sur
face, still holding his precious burden,
and, with long, steady strokes, slowly
but surely fought his way through the
swift current to the bank.
Neither Of them, beyond h duck
ing, was much the worse for the adj
venture.
"kathleen," remarked Wilmot gayly,
as he daringly kissed her b%edraggled
hair under the very eyes of Mrs.
O'Toole as she arrived on the scene,
we have only now to select the day
for u triumphant wedding, your
mother'-he glanced in amused satire
at his late enemy as he spoke-'having
kindly given her consent to our be-
coming engaged"
Mrs. O'Toole smiled maliciously.
My dear" she remarked. 1T was
the condition which this bright speci-
men of manhood made to repay him
for the trouble of putting down his rod
in order to rescue you"
Mother, dearie," laughed Kathleen,
b%ewitching wen in her disorder, u
think YOU are misjudging George, for,
you see, we had arranged this little
comedy to bring o round to our way
of thinking quite two days ago"
'kathleen!"
I'm afraid that it is quite true" she
replied, contritely. You are not an
CRY. are You, Mums?"
ESPECIALLY since the little comedy,
which we mad arranged for your ben
eft, was not billed to come off today
laughed Wilmot, merrily. II assure you
that, ii The plot was p~rearranged it's

Mrs. O'Toole laughed.
II think that under the circum-
stances l had better surrender grace
fully" she added.
And subsequent events proved thai
she kept her word.
