That once favorite type of Ameri- can sailing vessel, the brig, is pass ing from the sea. But fifteen have been added to the merchant marine sailing under the stars and stripes during the last thirty years, and re- gently one of the small fleet remain ing has been changed to a schooner. It is said that there are only five under the American flag. The schooner is more easily handled in a storm than brig and mainly for that reason has gradually displaced the more picturesque vessel in Amer ican shipping. In it's day the brig carried our flag into every sea, rounding the horn and the Cape of Good Hope when the passage of these waters was accounted a feat of sea- manship by all the sailors of the world.

ANTS ARE GOOD FIGHTERS.
There Is Perpetual Feud Between
 Different Species.

"On the morning of August H." says a writer in Suburban Life, q gathered a few black ants and a number of their small, brown, egg shaped cocoons from an ant hill in my yard and placed them in a shall low glass box, an artificial nest, where I watched their behavior.
 Not long after this I discovered a winged black queen promenading un- der the apple tree-very likely a blood sister of the others, for when I placed her with them she was not attacked, as was large ant with d red thoraX that later l introduced among them.
 Strange how ants recognize both friends and enemies through the sense of smell rather than by the sense of sight No sooner do two ants meet than they cross noses, so to speak, in order to ascertain who is who. If. the insects find that they belong to different communities war is at once declared.
 This was the case when the anL with the red thorax was confined with the black ants. How vicious both species were, how they snapped at and bit each other. One black ant succeeded in grabbing an an- tenna tor feeler) of her antagonist, to which she held as the big red ant dragged her from place to place.
 Another black smelled her oppor- tunity and caught the hind leg of the enemy, who was thus greatly handi- capped in her movements. Still she succeeded in killing both black ants, although she could not free herself from their death grip until l came to her assistance.
 The queen had remained inactive during the conflict and had taken no part in cleaning up the nest; when all was again in order worker ant approached her and after a short antenna conversation began to tug at her wings. Apparently this was 10 give the royal sister to understand that she must now discard them and assume the responsibilities of egg laying. the work for which she had been most carefully reared.
 The young queen was not in- clined to give up her gauzy append ages, however, so presently the work CT resumed her efforts to loosen them. but with no show of animosi- ty. Failing to accomplish her pur- pose, she next caught the queen by her antenna and led her gently about the nest and then held her in a corner for at least twenty minutes
 During this time the other ants came and touched her caressingIy with their antenna, and one went so far as to offer her food from it's mouth It was a clear case of coax ing. They wanted this queen moth- CT to deposit eggs and found new colony. I do not know what argu- ments finally overcame the queens to give up her freedom. The next day 1 saw that she had yielded to the entreaties of her sis- ters. She was wingless and deposit ing very minute eggs.
 The black ants have what appear to be good natured wrestling match es among themselves. They are con- stantly on the move doing some thing, carrying the unwieldy cocoons from one place to another, regurgi- tating food for companion or mak- ing elaborate toilets
