The preservation Of ancient land

the Revolution, and it IS owing to the
efforts of the New York state branch
of the society that the building where
General George Washington delivered
his farewell address TO his staff Of gen

used for hotel purposes for about 80
years and has long been known as

Yhc NNnnhcrrHI pnrnsoI Ant.

The greatest known curiosity Of in
sect life. as far as habits are concern
I'd at least, is to be found in the queer
"parasOl' or umbrella" ant, so com
mon in all parts of tropical America
from Texas to Venezuela. The com
mon name by which the creature is
known has been bestowed because of
q queer habit this species of ant has of
stripping certain kinds of trees and
shrubs Of their foliage and carrying
the leaves to their nests. An army Of
these ants which have been off on Il
foraging expedition present the queer
est sight imaginable as they march in
long columns by twos, fours and skies,
each holding the stem of a leaf in his
jaws, the leaf itself shading the little
insects body like a parasol does the
face and shoulders of a lady. The ear
~ naturalistS imagined that these ants
carried leaves for the sole purpose of
protecting themselves against the rays
of the tropical sun, but investigation
shows that they have another use for
the bits of green they gather. The
leaves are only wanted as soil upon
which 10 grow a certain species of
fungi OF which the parasOl ant is very
fond.

CONTRIBUTIONS NOT CRIMINAL
New York Attorney Renders an
Important Opinion on Life
Insurance Matter.

NEW YORK. March @.-The giving of
political contributions from the fund Of
life insurance company by the officers of
such company does not constitute larceny
or any other crime in the opinoin Of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome.
This opinion was submitted to Justice
o'sullivau in the court OF general sessions
today.
The opinion was given in connection with
the presentment on the insurance investi-
CATION, which was handed to the court BY
the grand jury several days ago. In it's
presentment the jury asked Justice o'suni-
van to advise them whether he considered
the giving of such political contributions
as constituting grand larceny. The dis
trict attorney in his opinion to the court
says that after a careful examination of
authorities he is led to the conclusion that
the actions embodied in the four state
mehts as found I'm the presentment do not
show the commission of the crime of lar
ceny or OF any other crime.
Judge OSulllvan tomorrow will charge
the grand jury as to his own conclusions
in the matter.
