This particular one, the possessor
of kid body and bisque head, had

Elsie made the discovery that there
was something inside of it and final

WONDERFUL MOVING VINE.
One OF the Most Interesting ~ An
Phenomsna on Rseerd.

Phenomena on Record
Near the bank of the Guadalupe
river ] saw something green upon
the ground and, hurrying forward,
found a lovely vine with leaves
smaller than those of the smilax.
of pale. tender green. The vine
had It's root about five feet from the
trunk of towering cottonwood
tree and spread out on the ground
four or five inches wide, becoming
little narrower as il approached
the tree. could see no stems or
tendrlls, SO thick was the growth.
and US drew close to the tree ! saw
that the vine branched just above
the ground and vent climbing up
the great trunk and the branches.
II grew more and more slender un :.
til far NJ could distinguish only =
thrcadIlkc hre of green.
As stood intcntly watching the
delicate. graceful vine. became
aware that II was pcrvaded by a
curious. tremalous motion Then
| saw that the individual leaves
were rot stationary Picking up a
twig from the ground, ! touched
one Of the leaves and found to my
amazcmcnt that there was brown
ant under it about as long as my
little finger nail Each leaf was
held in the mandibles Of an ant in
such a way as TO conceal the body OF
the insect, and the ants we're coming
down the tree. The discovery came
upon me with n shock. had STUN

Books had told me that such ants
were found in the tropics, where
they carried bits OF leaves over their
heads as if to protect themselves
from the sun But mere, on the
banks Of Texas river. | had found
a colony Of them, shading them
selves where there was no sun and
completely hidden by their covering
of green.
( Charmed at the sight, turned
back to call my companions, who
we're fishing in the river. Within .
few yards met my husband coming
to look for me. lie was even more
excited over the phenomenon than ]
was and Shouted for the Others tn

found that the spot where the vine
seemed TO have its root was really
the opening Of the ant nest The
tinv creatures had by some instinct
learned that the topmost branches
Of the cottonwood had put out their
first small leaves. They had climb
ed the immense distance and had
cut of and brought down their
lcavcs-to feed their young ones,
We supposed. The ants which is
sued empty jawed from the nest
made a long circuit to the farther
side Of the tree and climbed up
where they would not interfere will

Kinglake, the author of "Eo-
then" was afflicted with gout, and
he had a fancy TO try a lady doctor
and wrote to one to ask if gout was
beyond her scope. She replied,
"Dear sir, gout is not beyond my
scope, but men are"
1t was Kinglake who uttered one
of the neatest of mots on the pecul-
lar character of the Times. He had
little fondness for that journal, in
spite of personal friendships which
might have been expected to soften
his views of the question. The pa
per was still to him a sort of jug
rernaut. irresistible and fateful. On
seeing the announcement Of the
new editors marriage he exclaimed !:

About four hundred people came
In on the K & w. to witness the cir
Gus. There were five coaches in the
train and all the available space both
inside and out was entirely used.
The steamer w. w. brought

"A big crowd came down this noon

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.
interesting Facts About Chin and the
Mighty Rampant He Built To
lnclose Empire.

TO .;uperstitious notio.s Chin added
the lust of luxury his life being
blaze of oriental magnificence. He
built wonderful palace, which has
been described In the Imperial History
as having certain gorgeous annexes
attached at intervals, the whole ex-
tending over a distance of 100 miles.
In consequence of his life of luxury,
perhaps, he became more and more
a prey to superstition, and 1t may be
that because of this he completed the
Great Wall. At any rate, history re-
cords that he was informed by pro-
phecy that in time he would be over
whelmed and destroyed by outside
enemies So he modified an army of
100000 men to work on the Great
Wall, and if necessary to fight in his
behalf. Chin's design evidently was
rampant which should have the shape
of horseshoe with the heel calks at
the ocean shore He did not plan to
parallel the coast with wall, doubt
less considering that seaside an ample
protection to a country vast and dense
ly populated.
The wall is not for modern use; it
is an ancient fossil, the largest fossil
on the earth But fossils are useful
and truthful. 1t is dividing line be-
tween two civilizations and between
two eras. In space it cut off the herds
men of the north from the tillers of
the south.-William Edgar Cell, in
