An Ants Sewing circle.

F. Doflein. German naturalist, has
recently seen in Ceylon a species OF
ant, the Oecophylla smaragdina, In the
act OF sewing two leaves together
for the purpose of forming a nest
This observation confirms the report
Of the English naturalist. Ridley, made
in 1890. Doflein saw row of the
insects pulling the edges Of the leaves
together; then others trimmed and
fitted the edges and finally seam was
made by fastening the edges with a
silky thread, yielded by larvae of the
same species which the workers car
ried in their mandibles. He made a
drawing illustrating the method of
working. According to Ridley, the
sewing ants pass the thread.giving
larvae like shuttles through holes in
the edges of the leaves.

Romans Artificial Leo

The oldest artificial leg in existence
is now in the museum of the Royal
College of Surgeons of England 1t
was found in tomb at Capua and is
described in the catalogue as follows.
Roman artificial leg; the artificial
limb accurately represents the form OF
the leg; 1t is made with pieces OF thin
bronze, fastened by bronze nails TO a
wooden core. Two iron bars, having
holes at their free ends, are attached
to the upper extremity of the bronze !;
quadrilateral piece of iron, found
near the position of the foot, is thought
to have given strength to it. There
is no trace Of the foot, and the wooden
core had nearly crumbled away. That
skeleton had its waist surrounded by
belt of sheet bronze edged with
small rivets, probably used to fasten
leather lining. Three painted vases
tred figures on a back ground) lay at
the feet of the skeleton. The vases
belong to an advanced period in the
decline of art (about 800 years B. CO"

KEEPS IN GOOD HEALTH AT ,os
New England Woman Has Lived In
Three Centuries.


Aunt Lorica Cox celebrated her
l0Gth birthday on Saturday at her
home with her daughter. Mrs. Louisa
Ann Shaw. in West Harrington, says
a dispatch from Bangor, Maine. II is
said that she is the only woman in
New England who has lived in three
centuries.
In spite of her years she eats three
meals a day with relish. and neither
pain nor restlessness ever disturb her
slumbers.
Mrs. Cox has vivid recollections of
all the wars the United States has
engaged in since its Independence as
nation was acknowledged by Eng
land, for she has lived through them
all. Her husband, James Cox, died
in the civil war. he having enlisted
in Company ID, Twenty.second Maine
Volunteers.
Mrs. Cox is a living witness against
the theory that tobacco prevents
longevity, for she is an inveterate
smoker, having acquired the habit in
childhood by lighting her mothers
pipe.
