EnqIand's Patron Saint.

The story Of EnGlaud's patron saint
is surrounded by mixture of truth
and fable which defies definite sitting.
BE is generally believed to have; been
born at Lydia, but brought up in Cap
padocia. and suffered martyrdom in
the reign Of Diocletian. A. D. 303. The
legend Of his conflict with the dragon
may have arisen from a symbolIcaI or
alleSorical representation Of his con-
test with the pagan prosecutors. When
our crusaders went to the east in 1896
they found st. George elevated to the
rank Of warrior saint. with the title
Of the victorious" and as they be-
lieved that they were Indebted to him
for aid in the siege OF Antioch they
adopted him as the patron Of soldiers.
Edward III. was thus led to make him
patron OF the Order OF the Garter, and
so gradually St. George became the tu-
telary saint Of England.-London Mail.

ANTS PROTECT PLANT.
How They Defend II Asainss Leaf ps.
stroyinq Insects.


a standing army Of ants for de-
fe1siye purposes is kept and pro
yided with food BY a sensitive plant
OF Nicaragua. In this acacia there
are two large thorns at the base Of
each leaf inhabited by colonies of
ants, which bore INTO the thorns
and make a home for themselves
by eating out the soft inner tissue.
On the leaf stalks there are honey
glands, and at the up of each leaf
let there is sausage shaped body
about as large as pins head, con-
sisting of albuminous food. The
ants sip the nectar and eat the food
bodies and, being contented with
their lot. remain on the plant with
out doing it any injury.
When the plant is threatened BY
an invasion of leaf cutting ants
which would damage it the ants
composing the plants army or po-
lice force rush out and repel the IN
truders. Many similar arrangements
exist in tropical plants.
In one of the most remarkable OF
these ant plants the female ami
bites hole in the stem and brings
up her brood inside It. The stalk
of each leaf is swollen at its base
and bears food bodies, which are
eaten by the ants when they emerge
to find for themselves. As the old
food bodies are eaten new ones are
formed. thus keeping the ants.
which are of fierce disposition, in
the plants employment. Plants OF
the same species which do not hap
pen to be inhabited by ants fall an
easy prey to leaf cutting kinds OF
ants, which are only too plentiful in
the tropics. In other cases the de-
fensive ants are provided only with
shelter in cavities of the stem, and
various naturalists have observed
that these ants pour out in troops
whenever leaf cutting enemies at
tempt to attack the foliage.
The ants which thus defend these
plants are small, but sting with ex-
IRENE virulenee, their small size
making them the more formidable.
The leaf cutting ants cut off the
leaves and pile them up in heaps,
forming sort of kitchen garden of
leaf mold, upon which they culti-
yate fungus belonging to the
mushroom family. They SOW the
spores of the mushroom and make
a pure culture of the fungus, nib
bling at it to prevent the develop
ment Of mushroom heads and thus
promoting the growth of spawn
