Some Habits Of Ants.

When a freight train suddenly tuln-
blcd through q treStle some time ago,
to the establishment of the crew and to
the great disaster of the rolling stock
and commodities carried, an investiga-
ton was made to see what could have
cuased the accident, says the New
York Tribune The trcstle was in n
dangerous place. the most modern en-
cheering skill had been employed in
its construction, and the iron bolts and
timbers had seemed 10 be good for
many years The investigation brought
out the fact that the wooden piers and
supports of the trcstle work had been
literally honeycombed by ants. They
had cut passage after passage in the
wood. building houses Of many cham
bcrs one above the other. leaving only
threadlike bits Of the timber between.
with the result that there was little
strength left in the structure.
Scientists then set about finding out
more aluu. thcsc little citizens who
cnuld ID % mucn damage in such a
quiet way. Eager for the work, some
packed their grips and went to Texas
to study the agricultural ant in her
own lclIe. ana some went to the Mid
die West to sec what the carpenter ant
was doing besides eating up railroad
trestles The Department of Agri-
culture sent men to Guatemala to get
acuuaintnd with the Kelep. and sec if
il were really true that she could des-
troy boll wecVil. while q New York wO-
man captured several colonies Of ants,
put them in artificial nests in her home,
and devoted her time to study Of their
habits
All this study contributed many
noev land startling facts to the pres
ent day knowledge of ants. 1t was
found that they are strong for the new
woman idea, the workers Of the ant

FREAK INVENTIONS,
An Interesting Collection at Patent
Office in Washington.

some of the CraZicst offsprings OF
the human brain may be found in the
freak inventions submitted to the
United States patent office, yet the ex-
amincrs in the several divisions are re-
quired to give the same careful con-
sideration to the ''patcntable" merits of
each and every application. The law
requires this, and there is no lodging
the labor.
President Lincoln was among TIE
first to offer an impracticable device
an unsuitable Steamcr-the model OF
which is still among the assets Of the
pate ut office in the freak model room.
Mr. Lincoln sought and obtained IL
patent on his steamer in 1S49, but the
patent was all h@ Eot, the "unsinkabla
steamer" proving Il failure. Soon after
this patent was issued another man
came along with q ''vclocipede boat"

"unsinkable steamer" An eccentric

Still another had scheme for signal
ing and talking to the people of Mars,
his plan being to have q grand
illumination by mcans Of fireworks
simultaneously all over the globe. A
man from California who believed it
not impossible to visit Mars, submitted
n model Of 4 wooden man with wings,
in shape and movement like those OF a
bird. The wings were strapped to the
shoulders by band that goes over his
chest and comes out under his arms.
There is a tail also like a birds, and
the wings and tail are controlled by the
inward movement of the arms, which
are harnessed to them by straps.
There are large number of models of
flying machines and some Of them are
about as frcakish as the mans from
California.
There Is an umbrella which can be
changed into pipe and an inrocent-look-
