African Ants.

The following is an extract from DR..
Livingstone's Narrative of an Expe-
dition to the Zambezi::"
I'VE tried to sleep one rainy night in
native hut, but could not because Of
attacks by the fighting battalions of a
very small species Of formica not more
than one-sixteenth Of an inch in length.
1t soon became obvious that they were
under regular discipline and even at
tempting to carry out the skillful plans
and stratagem Of some eminent leader.
Our hands and necks were the first
objects Of attack. Large bodies Of these
little pests were massed in silence
round the point to be assaulted. We
could hear the sharp. shrill word Of
command two or three times repeated.
though until then we had not believed
In the vocal power Of an ant. The in.
slant after we felt the stormiug hosts
over head and neck"

AT the age Of nine he began to com.

he had composed three operas. the first

One Man Dead, Another
Terribly Burned
In Fire Which Destroys Boat
house at Medfort, Mass.
Three. South Boston Boys Are
Killed by q Falling Wall.

Medford, Mass. Jan. 2O.-Nicholas
Sandstone. q years old, a tanner, of
North Woburn was burned to death
and Otto Mietzne-. p, was terribly
burned about the upper part of the
body in 4 fire that destroyed the large
boathouse of the Mcdford Boat Club,
situated on the dam and between the
upper and lower Mystic lakes this
morning. The property loss will reach
5000, upon which there is a partial
insurance.
Mietzner was the caretaker at the
clubhouse and Sandstone was visiting
him when the fire occurred. No one
knows how the fire originated.
Mietzner was found unconscious in
the snow about a quarter OF a mile from:
the boat house. He recovered con-
seriousness sufficiently to tell the police
that Sandstone visited him the night
before: that they had retired and
that he knew nothing further until he
was awakened by the thick smoke and
flames; and he had barely time to es-
cape with his life. He knew nothing
of SandstCne's Whereabouts.
Owing to the difficulty OF access to
the fire nothing of the building or the
contents could be saved. The club
house was one of the most finely ap-
pointed structures of its kind in the
state.

A CURIOUS OLD WATCH.

Il was Once the Property Of Mary,
Queen Of Scots.
The descendants Of Mary Setoun. one
Of the four maids Of honor to Mary,
queen of Scots, have in their possession
a curious watch, which was given BY
that queen to her favorite. This watch,
which IL In the shape Of miniature
skull. Is about two inches and half in
diameter. It b supposed to have been
purchased by Mary herself when on
visit TO B1ois with her husband, the
dauphin OF France, as It has the name
AZ a celebrated Blois manufacturer en-
graved on II
The entire skull is curiously engraved.
On the forehead there IL a picture OF
Death. with the usual scythe and hour
glass and sandglass. He is depicted az
standing between a palace and howell.
to show that he is no respecter OF per-
sons ana underneath Is the familiar
quotation from Horace, "Pallida mors
aeauo pulsat pede paupcrum tabefnas
Regumuue turres." At the back Of the
skull is another representation, this one
being of Time devouring everything.
Time also carries scythe, and beside
him is the emblem Of eternity-the SER
pent with its tail in its mouth.
The upper section Of the skull is d.
vided into two pictures. On one side
IL the crucifxion, with the Marys
kueeling at the foot Of the cross, and
IN the other side are Adam and Eve
surrounded by animals in the Garden
of Eden.
Below these pictures, running right
around the skull, there is an openwork
band, to allow the sound Of the striking
of the watch to be heard. This open
work is a series Of designs cut to rep
resent the various emblems Of the cru
cifixion, such as scourges, the cross.
swords, spears. the lantern used in the
garden. etc. All Of the carvings have
appropriate Latin quotations.
BY reversing the skull and holding
the upper part in the palm of the hand
and lifting the under jaw on its hinge
the watch may be opened. and on the
plate inside is representation OF the
stable at Bethlehem. with the shep-
herds and their f1ocks in the distance.
The works Of the watch are in the
brains of the skull, the dial plate being
where the roof Of the mouth would be
in q real skull. This is OF silver and
gold. with elaborate scrolls. while the
hours are marked in large Roman let
tiers. The works are remarkably COM
plete, even to a large silver bell with
q musical sound, which holds the
works in the skull when the watch IS
closed.
This curious old watch is still in per-
feet order, and when wound every day
keeps accurate time. 1t is too large to
be worn. and was probably intended
for a desk or private altar.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.
