taxing no active life in the colony.
Inc females which constitute the col
ony are OF two kinds: The fertile fe-
males or queens which lay the eggs.
and the sterile females or workers
which are sterile only through their
altru1stfc instincts. The latter devote
all OF their energy to nursing the
young ana caring for the few fertile
queens in the nest and have no en-
ergy or substance left to produce eggs
Of their own, although under certain
conditions they may lay eggs.
These sterile forms or workers
may be represented by several differ
ent casts, which have different func-
lions in the life of the colony, but al
ways for the good Of the whole COM
munity.
1T is hoped that ultimately the
museum will be able to present to the
public collections illustrating the hab-
its of the various species similar to
those which are now used to illustrate
the habits of the higher animals birds

POOL IS DISSOLVED.
Brokers Say That Traders Still Need
About $6,OOO,OOO.

New York, Oct. 2s.-The bankers
pool, which under the direction OF j.
P. Morgan, loaned over $50, 600, 600 on
the stock exchange last Thursday and
Friday, was dissolved today and the
loan aceounts1distribute to the banks
participating. The loans, it is learned,
have not been called.
Call money opened today at II per
cent.
The First National bank renewed its
loans made last week at 80 per cent and
subsequently other call loans were
made at the latter rate.
Prices of stocks sagged somewhat
when it became understood that the
banks would deal directly with stock
exchange borrowers instead of through
a pool Money loaned at per cent and
there was some calling of loans. The
reaction reduced the earlier gains ma
terially and some active stocks yielded
to below Saturdays level
At 2:30 p. m, call money was loaned
on the stock exchange at so per cent.
Experienced brokers declared that the
traders were in need of about $4,000 900
to meet their accounts for the day and
that the banks were allowing them to
borrow about only one-half or less Of
what they asked.

PURE FOOD MEETING.
Experts and Others to Talk to DR..
CTunlbine.

Rudolph T1irsch, a commercial food
chemist. representing some of the big
food manufacturing concerns of the
country; w S. Amos, a commercial
drug chemist, who is similarly connect
ed with drug concerns; Prof. J. T. Will
lard, Prof. r. z. Sayre and Prof. e. H.
S. Bailey of the Kansas state educa-
tional Institutions; Charles D. Welsh,
attorney for the state board of health,
will meet tomorrow afternoon with DR..
S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state
board of health, for the purpose Of fix
ing the standards of food products on
sale in Kansas.
These standards will be fixed under
the authority vested by the pure food
law passed by the last legislature and
in the main they will be the same as
the standards which have been adopted
and in force for some time by the fed
eral government under the terms of the
national pure food law. These national
standards have been in force in the
state Of Kansas as well as in other
parts of the country but they have not
been formally adopted by the state
board of health authorities. To adopt
them is the real purpose of the meeting
tomorrow.
There are several food products on
sale in Kansas which are not touched
by the national pure food law and at
the meeting to De held tomorrow stand
ards will be fixed for them OF course
these standards will only apply to the
sale of these goods in this state.
A state standard will be fixed for
canned oysters. This will be one of the
most important new ones to be estab-
lished. 1t will probably be demanded
by this standard that in the canning of
oysters which are offered for sale in
this state absolutely no water shall be
used; that they shall be canned in moth
ing but their natural juices.

1878 moving to Garden City which
was their home for number Of
years afterwards.
At the time OF her death Mrs. Jones
was 81 years CT age and in robust
health for woman of her age up to
the time she was stricken with par
alySis. Mr.. Jones was here at the bed

THE SOCIALIST ANT.

A valuable collection of ants, about
$500 specimens, representing about
1,40O species, has just been presented
to the American Museum of Natural
History. The gift was announced re-
Gently by DR.. Hermon G. Bumpus, di-
rector. The collection was given to
the museum by a leading European
authority on ants, Prof. August Forel
of Switzerland, who is also a leading
authority on nervous diseases and one
of the principal advocates of total
abstinence in Europe. These ants con-
stitute valuable addition to the col
lection in the museum made by DIR.
William Morton Wheeler. curator of
the department of invertebrate ZOO
logy, in the last six or seven years.
which is the largest in America, and
one of the three largest in existence.
1t contains one-half of the described
species and about 10000 specimens.
Regarding the value of this gift to
the museum and the curious and al
most human characteristics of some
of these ants, DR.. Wheeler said: ANTS
are not attractive as a collection of
specimens, but they are exceedingly
interesting from two points of view:
First, because they have social or
ganization superior to that of any 9TH
advanced than that of man, and be-
cause through their social life they
have developed the most extraordinary
instincts and certain activities which
resem BILE intelligence.
Their social instincts are extraordi-
nary because the individuals in these
communities are eminently altruistic.
All their activities are for the good of
the 9th er members of the community.
Their organization is essentially social
istic in that all food is distributed to
other members and individuals retain
only enough to keep thems elves alive
and in the best working condition.
There is no private property, although
the whole colony will defend it's nest,
but simply because it is the home OF
the whole community.
These communities are remark
able because they are societies OF fe-
males, the males being present only

TEST THE DRAINAGE Law.
May Be Taken to United States Court
of Appeals.

Kansas City. Oct. 2s.-If the Kaw
valley drainage board abides by the
action taken at the caucus Friday and
votes to appeal from Judge Pollock s
decision when it meets tonight the en-
tire drainage law Is to be tested in
the court of appeals.
The board, at the caucus, decided
to appeal only on the question of the
width of the river and to accept his
decision declaring the drainage law
constitutional.
When it became known that the ap-
peal would be made the attorneys for
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway announced that they would
test the law.
The two main questions involved in
the suit were: rs the Kaw valley
drainage law constitutional" and
wide?" Judge Pollock decided the first
question in favor of the board and
made a compromise on the second by
ordering a 500 foot channel
When the board objected to the sec
ond ruling, o. L. Miller, attorney for
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific. filed
an exception to the first. Now that the
board appears determined to disregard
Judge Pollocks advice to get to work
and improve the river before spring the
railroads say they will ask the court of
appeals to also pass on the question OF
the constitutionality of the drainage
law. This will cause a review of the
entire case by the higher court and
perhaps another special master and the
taking of more testimony

HE TALKS ABOUT THE GREEKS.
No Race Has Kept Its Language So
Free From Idioms says Mr.. Horton.

Consul General George Horton of
Athens, Greece. representative of the
United States government at that
place, lectured at the high school
auditorium Saturday night under the
auspices OF the local branch Of the
American Archaeological society on
modern Greece.
Mr.. Horton, who is a well known
author, has written number OF
novels which have been classed among
erly literary editor on the Chicago
American as well as other Chicago
papers.
One of the features of his appear
ance here Saturday evening was the
presentation of a silver loving cup
empowered in flowers by three repre-
sentatives Of the local Greek colony,
Constantios Chumos. d. A Duntas
and A. A. Balafas. The cup was in
scribed: Presented to Consul Cen
eral George Horton by Hellenes-
Americans.
The activity of the present day
Greeks in spreading culture and the
maintenance of the purity of the
principal points brought out by the
speaker. According to Mr.. Horton, no
other race has kept its tongue so free
from foreign terms and jdioms as that
of the Greek language which today
closely resembles the ancient language
of that people. He also covered the
activity of the present survivors of
the race in their establishment of col
1eges and universities and other
mediums of culture. The local branch
of the American Archaeological So
ciety numbers at present twenty-four
members and is one of the strongest
organizations for culture in the city.
The officers are DR.. 7. c. McClintock
president; DR.. w. H. Thompson, treas
urer, and Prof. F. L. Clark, secretary.
Other speakers will be brought 60 the
city this winter under the same au-
spices. The lecture Saturday evening
was made additionally interesting to
some $50 of those who attended
through the stereopticon pictures
illustrating Greek life.
