SURVEY CONTINUES
- ON n. P. Line SOUTH

More definite information regarding
the work of the N. P. surveyors east
of Miles City is at hand. through round
about sources, than has hi therto been
procurable, and rumor has it that the
most satisfactory short line from Man.
dan to Miles City which has yet been
discovered would make the line shorter.
This route would involve the contin-
uation of the line now building to
Mott, N. D., up Hidden Water and
down Lame Jones creek to Fallon creek
then up Ash creek to the head of Sheep
creek and down Sheep creep to Powder
river. Then up North Stevell creek to
head of Squaw creek and Mill creek and
thence to Miles City.
This is practically the route that was
first considered and nearly adopted by
the Milwaukee and there are no engineer
ing difiulties particularly formidable
in the road. There will be required 800
foot tunnel. which Of course it would be
desirable to avoid and which was the
main reason for the Milwaukee adopting
the Yellowstone river route, which is
somewhat LONGER, but it is thought the
abbreviation of the route thus gained
by the N. p, especially when the pres
ent livestock content of the area is
considered together with it's future
possibilities as an agricultural country.
will prove factor of sufficient promise
of recompense to warrant the construc.

DICKINSON WINS
BALL, SCORE . TO z

In the game between Dickinson and
Glen Ullin ball teams. at Glen Ullin
last Sunday, the teams were so evenly
matched that five perfectly good innings
were not used at all.
In the sixth inning, however, Gilyer
got started on the creased plank and
Dickinson slid around the diamond
nine times while Glen Ullin was sliding
twice. The slides were then closed and
the game continued without incident
through the remaining three innings,
leaving the score standing thus:

EARS ON THEIR LEGS.


That Is Where an Ants Grow ana
He Has SIX OF Them.
Strange as it may seem an ant has
at least six ears. Aside from their
multiplicity they are located in just
about the queerest place imaginable
on the legs. They seem deaf to all
sounds made by the vibration Of the
air, but detect the slightest possible
vibrations Of solid material.
This Ia supposed to be to their adj
vantage, in that such things as ap,
preaching footsteps tell more Of the
possibility of danger than such sounds
as are transmitted through the air.
So sensitive are their feet, says st.
Nicholas, that they detect the impact
of a small birdshot dropped on a
table from a height Of about six inches
and about fourteen feet distant from
an artificial nest placed at the other
end OF the table.
AS curious as are their ears, their
noses are even more extraordinary.
As tho ants spend mos: OF their time
in the dark they must depend large
ly on scent for their guidance, and
in consequence have quite an elob.
crate array Of noses, each for a special
purpose.
Miss Adele Fielde believes that
their antennae are composed OF a
number of noses strung along in a
line. Still more strange is the fact
that each Of these noses can smell
only a special thing.
The nose on the tip or first Joint
of the a%ntennae, 1t is said, is for rec
ognizing the odor Of the home; the
one on the second joint Is the path
finder, and without 1t the poor ant
cannot follow a trail and soon gets
hopelessly lost. The noses on the
fourth and fifth joints are for recog-
nizing the eggs and immature ants
in the nest.
No creature is more tidy than an
ant, who cannot tolerate the presence
Of dirt on her body. These little
| creatures actually use a number of
real toilet articles In keeping them
! selves clean. No less an authority
| than DR.. McCook says their toilet
| articles consist Of coarse and fine
toothed combs, hairbrushes, sponges
and even washes and soap. Their
| saliva Is their liquid soap, and their
| soft tongues are their sponges.
Their combs. like their ears, are
| fastened to their legs. They stop for
a hasty cleanup when they get dirty.
But a more leisurely toilet is made
when they feel in a loafng mood, and
they then lend a helping hand to one
another in the process.

odd Little Farm. in Japan.

Land Is SO scarce in Japan and thu
people are SO numerous that q farm
rarely consists of more than an acre
or two. These little farms are divided
up into tiny fields. During the sea-
son Of the year in which we made our
journey n Of these fields is filed
with sprouting barley, light green in
color; another f1eld-perhaps the next
with vetch, a lavender-colored, Glow
er-like fodder; a neighboring field
with a dark green grass, from the
seed of which a lamp oil is manufac-
tured; another with the pale yellow
flowers of the mustard, and scattered
here and there fields filled with what
looked like a variety of lily-some
white, some red, some yellow, but all
equally brilliant.
Then, to get the complete picture.
you must imagine patches of flower
Ing azaleas dotting the roadside; tow
ering, round-topped camellia trees
breaking the skyline with frequent
splashes OF bright green; usually in
the shade OF these trees houses with
white plastered walls and red tiled
roofs; about the more pretentious Of
these houses were white plastered
walls, above which appeared a profu-
sion OF palms. roses and strange ma
tive flowers; and In the doorways Of
the garden walls kimono-clad Japanese
girls, the kimonos as many and a.

framed them.-Outing.

DANGERS OF THE NORTH.
Graphic Description of n Thrilling
Escape from Ice Shove.

Graphic Description of a Thrilling
Escape from Ice shove.
With a swiftly turned paddle the In
dian and I pulled the canoe about for
the shore, writes a traveller in graph
ically describing a thrilling expert
ence when escaping from an Ice shove
on a river of the far north. Behind
US the calm water was already a tur-
moil of splashing cakes and cracking,
topping ice. Into an opening we
dashed and like a crowd of wild
horses the ice shove careened past,
groaning-ringing like bells where the
thin cakes tangled together, mounting
into shimmering hillocks where 1t
lodged, turnover huge tamaracks that
lay on the river bank-all within two
canoe lengths of where we lay in safe
ty.
The wind was a mighty force now,
and from behind the big tree trunks
we were watching the conflict be-
tween the wind and the sun and the
current against the ice. The wind had
the whole immense fleld-hundreds Of
thousands of tons-in motion. On-on
Up it came. an irresistible mass.
First 1t slid over the shadows, just
lifting Itself in ar angle; then it
struck the boulder-built blind on the
shore (our duck shooting house Of last
fall); this went, like a house of
cards; then it seized the big rocks ~
ing fiat on the shore line and tossed
these ahead as If they were foam in
stead of granite. Along came a slant
ing tilted cake Of ice. giving a ride to
a square Of limestone Weighing sever
al hundred pounds; then the mighty
grinding mass, filed with strange tin
king, ringing noises, seized a shore
grown ash tree and pulled 1t out, tap.
root and all.
On came the creamy-edged rolling
mass of stones, crushed ice and big
cakes. It swept up over the slopins
shore, forcing up and carrying ahead
every obstruction; the WIND had it
moving a mile an hour now, and de.
~vastation was in its rushing crest.
Right beneath me was a big limestone
boulder, beside which We had often
cooked the early morning breakfast
long before the birds were moving.
The shove lifted this from its deep-set
frozen bed, mounted 1t UP the steep
bank until it met a deeply lodged
granite rock and cracked it as easily
as we would a walnut in the crackers
This destruction Of a half-ton of lime
stone deeply impressed me as ]
watched the huge cakes ride up the
bank; stand erect, glistening and
dripping in the sunlight; then topple
over on themselves and slide back
over the creeping hill with a ringing
noise.
