BANK SHARE VALUES

Reports of the book value OF shares OF

They included the capital stock, surplus

NEW ORLEANS'S ANT PEST.
Jesuit Scientists Plan of War on the
Insect Nuisance.

1t is a ~well-known fact, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, that within
the last few years the ant nuisance in
New Orleans has increased to such an
extent that h~ouseholders as we'll as
manufacturers and merchants have
been YER seriously Inconvenience by
them.
The question has proved an absorb
ing IN for scientists, and from time to
time research has been made for the
purpose of finding some relief from
their invasion. Two years ago the
superintendent of Audubon Park, then
Mr.. Baker, sought some relief from
ants, but without avail. They were
destroying the plants and flowers, and
were even attacking the trees.
They seem to have made their way
from the upper section to the lower sec
ton of the city. Westwego, where many
ships land from all parts of the world,
was first infested with them. Then they
made their way further down town.
1t has been noted that these pests
attack woodwork of the finest mahog-
any mantels, armoirs, cedar chests,
floors and, in fact, everything that is
eatable. They also attack fruit trees
and dollhouse plants.
Father Albert Biever, S.. j., president
Of Loyola College. has been making in
vestigations on the subject and has
just received an interesting commune
cation from Germany. Father Biever
had an experience with an attempt to
send some of the ants to Europe. Pack
ages were done up in such a manner
as to get through the mails, but Uncle
Sam refused to handle them.
One package sent by express was lost
in New York; then another was sent
which reached its destination.
The New Orleans ants sen to Ger
many some time ago for special scient-
ific investigation reached their destina-
ton at last. The Rev. Eric Wasmann
S. j., to whom they were consigned and
who is probably the greatestsliving au-
thority IN ants, says that the New
Orleans ant is the Iridomyrnex humili;
(Mayr), a native of Brazil and Argen-
tina, and that it was imported into
Louisiana by merchant ships. DR.
Wheeler, who is known to be the besf
authority in America IN this group Of
Hymenoptera, classed them some time
ago under the same species.
Father Biever is now corresponding
with Jesuit scientists in Brazil anc
Argentina to obtain full information
as to the results these strange anti
have achieved in their native land anc
as to their methods employed to checl
their wonderful spread and fearful
depredations. Father Biever believes
that this ant will prove n of tn
great enemies Of the contemplated ex-
position because Of their numbers ant
the. persistent attacks they will maxi
upon everything that may be exhibited

A %TANTALIZING METAL.

A rare metal which has attracted uni

while before it was scarcely known outside

berg, on account of the tantalizing DIM

from its ores. Only two years ago was It
found out by German scientists that what

MAKING FALSE TEETH.
The Biggest Factory in the World Is

WIND
Some Matters That Affect Our Aerial
Progress.

Mr.. Stanton and Mr.. Ralrstow have
made some experiments at the National
Physical Laboratory which bring out d
new and practically very valuable fact
namely, says the London Telegraph, that
pressure is not the same on large surfaces
as on small experimental models. If. for
example, a given wind velocity Is brought
to bear on a square foot OF surface 1t will
be IS per cent. less per square foot than
If It were directed on 100 square feet of
surface. 1t was demonstrated, too. tina
this relation is constant for fiat forms,
however complicated. A builder or en-
gineer who knows that a structure may be
exposed to a wind of eighty miles per
hour and that the pressure per square foot
as determined by model is. says. x pounds,
should allow for his larger construction 20
\ Per cent. extra. The reason for this seems
to be the more thoroughly reduced pressure
on the lee side OF "A larger area. And
this reminds us:
Many years ago the Royal Archaeological

cUBA'S SUGAR CROP is
LARGER. DESPITE SETBACK

HAVANA, July 16.-The grinding of
sugar cane has been completed, and it
is now definitely assured that The yield
for this season will be more thai 1,400,-
coo tons, considerably larger than that
of last year, which itself was a good
season, the yield being LIS, 79 tens.
It is estimated by sugar men that the
crop is worth about $40, 900, 900. Had 1t
not been for the hurricane of last Octo-
Der and the revolution the yield would
certainly nave been much greater and
would doubtless have reached the mill
lion and a half mark. The drouth also
did tremendous damage. 1t materially
lessened the yield and because of it the
prospects for mex season are not over
bright.

July being practically neglected, but
