y. Y. Tribune-A few months ago
a visitor to the Panama Canal stood
on the edge of the Culebra cut acs
companied by one of the engineers of
the central division, and looked down
upon small army of laborers drilling
blast holes and shifting track for the
steam shOvels.
Surprising activity for men in this
climate he remarked.
"Get more work out of these hon.
bres in one day than they got out of
the Italians that dug the New York
subway in two," replied the engineer
eyes, and we have two active
armies at work here" he continued.
"'The army of construction and the
army of destruction. The destroyers
are little fellows, but they are here by
the millions. Never sleep. Toll all
day long. Never do any good; only
undo things and Destroy
"You mean the idle, plotting revolu-
tionists, 1 suppose" said the visitor
"No revolutionists here" laughed
the engineer. "Ants. There s a thou
sand of them at your feet now.''
The visitor looked down and saw a
thin, brown, irregular. line that began
in the Jungle and continued down the
side of the cut till the eye could no
longer see it.
'That line goes clean across the
cut said the engineer, "and wends
its way for miles into the jungle on
the other side. Lord knows what they
are building over there, but they GER
tainly keep at it. "
The observations of the engineer
prompted the visitor to look into the
ant problem, and it was found that all
sorts of schemes fairly successful had
been undertaken to keep the ant out
of the houses and truck gardens of the
Isthmian Canal Commission.
The abundance of rain (about 112
inches annually that falls on the 18TH
mus and the rich, red soil that is every
where afford an excellent opportunity
for the cultivation of vegetables and
landscape plants, but the invasion of
the ANTS mas Deen ndnQlcdp TO the
truck gardeners in the canal zone.
In 1905 the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion made three experimental truck
and landscape gardens at Ancon, Coro-
zal and Empire. Six acres are now
under cultivation at Empire, and a
fourth garden is contemplated for
Pedro Miguel. The gardens are irri-
gated during the dry season by gal
vanized iron pipes and various faucets
about one hundred feet apart, with
hose attachments. The stables of the
zone contribute all the additional fer
tiliZer needed to enrich the soil.
Fungi and ants were the two great
problems the gardeners had to contend
with. The fungous diseases were
treated with bordeaux mixture. and the
ants and other leaf-eating insects were
eombated with arsenate of lead and
paris green.

Chemicals of No Avail.

The ants were destroyed by the thou
sands, but they always came back with
stronger reinforcements, and a new
method of attack was planned by their
human enemies. The gardeners hit
upon a scheme of putting carbon BIZ
sulphide in the insects formicaries,
setting it on fire and causing a sub
terraneOus explosion. The fumes de-
strOyed the ants, and they kept away
for a while, but as the truck gardens
took on a semblance of prosperity the
ants returned twentyfold. The army
of destroyers seemed to have passed
the word along to their neighbors in
remote parts, for great files moved to
the truck gardens from all points of
the compass.
The gardens, however, were not the
only citadels the ant army attempted
to take. They invaded the sacred pre-
cincts of the home and caused the
blush of humiliation to come to the
cheek of a matrOn of Empire who had
made great preparations to entertain
at dinner a party of guests from the
estates. -
There were only four in the woman s
family-her husband, herself and two
sons Four visitors had come for din
ner, and she remembered that two
extra leaves must be put into the table
that all might have room to dine. The
maid did not know how the leaves were
inserted, and the woman of Empire I'M
dertOOk the task. a servant brought
out a thin iron crate that held the
unused leaves, and, much to the chagrin
of the hostess. the two heavy mission
oak table leaves fell into a crumbled
mass when she tried to remove them
from the crate. The leaves were of
the hardest oak, and had been on the
isthmus only two years, but the ants
had cut them up, probably during the
first year
1t remained for Edward Schildhauer.
an electrical and mechanical engineer
of Colonel Goethals 5 designing staff,
TO stem the tide of ant invasion by
electricity. He had given much time
to the study of ant destruction by the
use of chemical mixtures, but he aban-
doned it as a hopeless task and turned
his attention to electrical destruction.
Ground Deals Death.
cit seems to me- he remarked one
day to one of the designing engineers,
''that if electricity will open and close
the proposed gates of the great Gatun
locks and kill a man whom the law has
ordered to be put to death it ought to
wipe out or at least keep off that miser-
able insect called the amt
Mr.. Schildhauer went into his garden
at Culebra one morning armed with a
dozen batteries, a few yards of insulat-
ed wire and two files. He had observed
that the ant army entered his garden
from only one point, and he found the
path. He laid across it two parallel
steel files and connected up each on
the circuit. As the ants stepped from
one file to the other they were electro
euted, but they soon found out some,
thing was wrong and they diverted
their path, marching around Schild-
hauer 5 electrical dam.
Schildhauer gave up the electrical
destruction as impracticable, but his
idea was made effective by H. F. Tuck
er, his associate. whose garden has not
known an ant since he put up his cleo
trical barriers

Eye Strain

Is the cause or contributing
cause of large proportion of all
chronic human ills. Good vision
does not mean perfect eyes, in

defective eyes and the nervous
strain caused by the effort to over

of mental and physiological dis
turbances, such as headaches, in
digestion, constipation and many
other diseases.
