An Ant Story.

Something new and interesting about
ants was recently learned by a florist.
For a week or so he had been
bothered by ants that got into boxes
OF seeds which rested on a shelf.
To get rid of the ants he put into
execution an old plan, which was to
place meaty bone close by, which the
ants soon covered, deserving the boxes
Of seeds.
AS soon as the bone became thlckly
inhabited by the little creepers the
florist tossed it into a tub of water
The ants having been washed of, the
bone was again put in use as trap.
The florist bethought himself that he
would save trouble by placing the bone
In the center of sheet of fly paper,
believing that the ants would get
caught on the stick fiy paper while
trying to reach the food. But the for
list was surprised to find that the ants,
upon discovering the nature Of the pa.
per trap. formed a working force and
built a path on the paper clear to the
bone.
The material for the work was sand,
secured from little pile near by. For
hours the ants worked, and when the
path was completed they made their
way over its dry surface in couples, an
IN march. to the bone.-Nature

EXCURSION DAYS
 10 REGION OF PINES
Reduced Rates on Santa Fe for Base ball Tournament and Labor Day.

The last popular excursion on the Santa Fe for the season to Prescott and Humboldt will be run to the form CT point on August 31. September 1 and to the latter September l and 2. the rates to Prescott s3.50. and Hum boldt s4.50 from Phoenix. It is thought that there will be several hundred vis- itors in those cities on the days men tiOned. when there will be ball games and many other interesting events. Prescott has arranged a baseball tour nament as follows: August 3l, Pres colt and Tucson at Prescott: Sept. 1. Tucson and Winslow at Prescott; Sept ?. Winslow and Prescott at Hum boldt; Sept. 3, the two winning teams at Prescott.
 For the tournament Prescott is of fering prizes of $500 and s250. Labor Day will be celebrated in famous style at Humboldt. Besides ball games there will be horse races. miners drilling contests and something doing every minute.
 This excursion will be the last Op- pOrtunity of the season to cool off at reduced rates. A large crowd of Phoe- nicians is planning to visit the two cities on the excursion days. The ball games will be particularly well worth witnessing and there is likely to be some fast playing with the big cash prizes in sight.

THE PENELOPE AFFAIR.

H certain dispatch sent out from perhaps need that the battleship squadron lose as little time as possible in getting into the waters of the Pa cific The dispatch, though. lacks confirmation and at any rate seems to be susceptible of modification. It states that the Japanese government had completed an investigation of the killing of Japanese seal poachers at the Prybiloff islands by American guards. had found that the poachers were unarmed. that the killing was wanton and that the Japanese govern ment communicated the result of the investigation to Washington with a rather brusque demand for a reply.
 All this sounds more warlike than anything we had previously heard and puts our government into more en- barrassing position than the Japanese representations regarding the treat ment of Japanese in California In that case our government could ex press its regret and promise to do what it could, which, however turned out to be nothing.
 But in this case. our government finds itself face to face with findings in the Prybiloff affair quite different from those which it reached itself on the reports ot its revenue officers. Against the word of these men who were engaged in preventing the viola tion of the law the Japanese govern ment could have the testimony only of men who went to the islands as law breakers.
 If it transpires that the Japanese government has really sent such a truculent message to Washington. it is a sign that our slant-eyed friends on the other side are consistently looking for trouble and intend to keep on look ing in one place or another until they find it.
