WONDERFUL INSECTS.

Hew Ants sridsed Saucer of Water
With = Straw.
Reaumur in his "L'Histoire des
Insectes" says that Cardinal FIeury
told him that he saw ants on one oc-
casion build bridge of earth across
some bird lime which had been
spread on G tree. On another occa-
sion the cardinal saw these intelli-
gent little architects build a floating
bridge across a vessel of water sur
rounding the bottom of an orange
tree tub. They used wood in the
construction of this bridge, thus
showing that they were aware of
the nature of the material necessary
to make their bridge success and
that they possessed no small en-
gineering skill.
Still more wonderful is the ac-
count by DR.. Ellendorf, who writes
that he saw ants bridge a saucer of
water with straw. He had PLACED
the legs of cupboard in saucers of
water, thus for few days prevent
ing the ravages of the ants. Final
ly, however, they again got access
to the cupboard and were as bad as
ever. On examination he found
straw in one of the saucers which
lay obiquely across the edge Of the
vessel and touched the leg of the
cupboard. The ants were using the
straw as u bridge.

an inch away from the cupboard

mediately terrible confusion arose.
In g moment the leg Immediately
over the water was covered with
hundreds of ants, feeling for the
bridge in every direction with the
antennae, running back again and
coming in ever larger swarms, as
though they had communicated to
their comrades within the cupboard
the fearful misfortune that had tax
en- place.
Meanwhile the newcomers con-
tinued to run along the straw, and,
not finding the leg of the cupboard,
the greatest perplexity arose. They
hurried around the edge of the sau-
Ger and soon found out where the
fault lay. With united forces they
quickly pulled and pushed at the
straw until it again came into con-
tact with the leg of the cupboard,
and the communication was then re-

4 PRONUNCIATION PUZZLE.

Little Story.

Test Yourself by Reading Aloud This
Little Story.
The following episode" will
prove a very clever puzzle as a test
of the ability of people to pro-
nounce readily and correctly many
common words:
An interesting inquiry took place
in the court of oyer and terminer
some time ago. Indisputable evil
dence was given toward proving
that a heinous incident had taken
place during a public pageant. 1t
seems that pretty girl, rather
juvenile in appearance, having an
extraordinary head of hair, like an
Albino, represented Thaha and sat
ON a pedestal erected on one of the
floats. The procession was direct
ing its course down the mall when
the attention of the onlookers was
drawn to the excited conduct of one
of the spectators who had fixed her
eyes upon the tiara, set with jewels
in the form of carat, which Thaha
wore upon her head as she sat in
what seemed to be her wonted atti-
tude of nOnchalance and leisure.
This person was afterward shown
to be a maniacal laundress whose
squalor and detestation and hideous
grimaces were all unnoticed by the
mock goddess. What vagary bade
this reptile turn her servile eyes,
full of rapine, on the beautiful
maiden it is hard to say, but sud
denly, under pretense of seeing
something on the ground, she pro-
duced a hiatus in the crowd and
thus obtained precedence of all.
Simultaneously with her appear
ance the van drove past. She then
filled the air with gross raillery and
began to promulgate anarchism, So
ciety's lack of probity and the gen
eral prediction of politicians for
patronage.
Then she besought her audience
to hear her dilate on the glaciers of
the Alps, the ruins of Pompeii, the
female franchise, the Pleiades and
her patron saint. She was evidently
demented, and the flow of her voca-
bles appeared endless. Suddenly
she raised a pestle which had been
hidden under her shawl and threw
it directly at the visor on the girls
head. Thereupon faccid lithog-
rapher who was cutting a swath as
a tribune on the following van
grasped a seine and threw it over
the gaunt old hag, so that her eff
forts to escape were futile, and she
became as docile as a lamb. The
pathos of the affair lay in the way
the girl bore the ordeal. In court
the virago gave an alias instead of
her own name. Her defense was
that vaccine, whose presence was
shown by scabious arm, together
with desuetude in the matter of
personal freedom, had produced an
! obsession which decreed the irrevo-
cable death of the girl. An in
ventory of her belongings was made,
and she was then sent to an asylum
as a victim of acute homicidal
mania.
