A SPECIAL SENSE.


IL Is "A curious thing and, so far as

The dandelon belongs to the largest.
o,C"tt and most widely diGused order
OF plants. While other orders Of plants
/ have died out and become mere fossil
remains In the rocks, this order has
survived the geological changes OF
many different periods on account OF
its power of adapting Itself to those
changes. And these changes in their
turn have only made II better suited
for all the varied soils and climates Of
the earth at the present day.
We find members Of this order In
every part OF the globe, in places as
far apart from each other as they
can be. IL is the prevailing a1d dom
inant order OF vegetable !ifo, the most
highly finished and the most success

lion is one Of the most perfect forms
belonging to 1t.

highest type Of animal life, Is found
and where he dwells and cultiyatcs the
soil. 1t Is never found apart from

Ants are really very long lived, con
sldernE their minutcncss. Janet had
tN'o queens under observation for ten
years, and one of Sir John Lubbock s
ant pets lived into her fifteenth year.
Ants are very tenacious Of life after
severe injury. Following loss Of the
entire abdomen, they sometimes live
two weeks, and in one case a headlcss
ant, carefully decapitatcd by aScptic
surgery, lived for forty-one days. A
carpenter ant after being submerged
eight days in distilled water came to
life upon being dried, so that ants are
practically proof against drowning.
They can live for long periods without
food. In one case the fast lasted near
ly nine months before the ant starved

Someone as it has been explained
several times, said that the holiday
trade was poor in Olneyville. and since
that time things have been lively.

their places for sale, gave out inter

52O per cent. increase over last year
and the year before. Everyone who
can be whipped into line is out refut.
ing the statement first made, which
was probably heard and forgotten by
most people. The country editor has
been out with denials. In fact things
have been SO amusing that the few
who have watched the struggle now

great that it is all over, which would

The finds are very variable. The lar.
