ANTS ARE VERY
LONG LIVED
TENACIOUS OF LIFE AFTER As
JURY AND WITHOUT FOOD.

Ants are really long-lived, says the
Kansas City Journal, considering their
minuteness. A naturalist had two
queens under observation for ten
years and one of Sir John Lubbock's
ant pets lived into her fiftieth year.
Ants are very tenacious of life after
severe injury. Following the loss of
the entire abdomen they sometimes
live two weeks, and in one case a
headless ant, carefully decapitated by
aseptic 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 they are practically proof
against drowning. They can live
periods without food; in one case the
fast last nearly nine months.

WOULD ABOLISH
COURT OATHS
GERMAN JUDGE MAKES AN ARGU-
MENT AGAINST "SWEARING."

Judge Paul Albers, of Breslau, Ger
many, has published an article on the
subject of "The Oath" in which he
takes a strong stand against the pre-
vailing custom of administering the
oath to persons who are called upon
to testify in the courts Of justice. The
writer tells Of changes which have
been made in the manner of taking
the oath and how, in order to make
the ceremony impressive various
methods had to be employed for Cath
olics, Protestants and Jews. All this,
he contends, has no effect, because the
good man tells what he likes, oath or
no oath THE spirit of the age and
the undeniable fact that there are in
every community good men who are
agnostics and to whom an oath
smacks of hypocracy are reasons why
the ancient injunction, Swear not at
ALL. should be needed" To replace
the oath the writer proposes a "decla-
ration on honor and conscience to tell
the truth" Incorporated in this dec
laration should be a clause to the
effect that the witness knows that he
will be punished If he is detected in
making false statement. The Judge
closes his articles with these words:
'The oath has no place in courts of
Justice. out with It,"
