Ants Are SIX Eared

In the matter of some of their sense
organs the ants are more than ordi
narily endowed. Strange as it may
seem, each ant has at least six ears.
Aside from this multiplicity of ears,
they are located in just about the queer.
est place imagjnable-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 is supposed to be to
their advantage in that such things as
approaching footsteps tell more of the
possibility Of danger than such sounds
as are transmitted through the air. So
sensitive are their feet that they detect
the impact of a small bird shot dropped
on the table from height of about six
inches and about fourteen feet distant
from an artificial nest placed at the
other end of the table.-St. Nicholas.

The American Idea in Missions.

One of the striking figures at recent
conference of foreign mission boards of
the United States and Canada, held re-
Gently in New York city, was DR.. Ju-
Illus Richter of Berlin. Beside his cru
dite books on missions in India, which
bear that stamp of accurate scholarship
so characteristic of Germans, he is edi-
tor and founder of two magazines and
co-editor with Prof. Warneck of third.
What he said on this occasion concern
ing American methods of propagating
the Christian faith in foreign lands was
very significant. The policy which
most widely ditferentiates our mission
airy societies from those in Europe is
our willingness to put responsibility
upon the natives, leaving them to de
velop institutions along their own lines,
with as little direct supervision as pos
sible. Democracy, whether in state or
church, is a principle not readily accept
ed by Europeans, but Prof. Richter
says that marked change of sentiment
is now observable among them, due, in
large degree, to the revolution in Tur-
key. In continental circles it is being
remarked that chose Americans have
got hold of the right end of the prob
lem. -
Our oldest missionary society, the
American Board, entered the Turkish
empire in 1920 and after period of
only 26 years had the courage to place
native pastors over some of the church
es. Many looked askance upon the ex-
pertinent, but the plan is now generally
adopted by American missionary So
cieties, though it is considered peculiar
to the United States. Schools We're
started on the same basis, the teachers
never intoxicating revolutionary doc
trines, but sowing the seeds of demo-
cratic thought in the minds of the young
men in Robert College and the various
schools and colleges under its care. An
inevitable sequence was a free Bull
garia and the new regime in Turkey
today. What the Berlin Conference
failed to accomplish, what the chan
celleries of Europe discussed in vain for
half century, came to pass through
1.-The American idea" working itself out
in the soil of native character, thus in
surfing political reform from within in
stead of being imposed from without.
Prof. Richter cited Japan as another
nation where the democratic principle,
introduced through Christian missions,
had developed native power of self
government in religious affairs to an
extraordinary degree. He believes
that leadership in teaching Christianity
and planting its institutions throughout
Asia is rapidly passing to the United
States. The opinion of such an eminent
student of world problems is particular
ly valuable just now, when foreign mis-
sions are emerging from the stage of
hostile criticism to place of recogni-
ton as a powerful factor in political
and social as well as in religious life.

Cold Storage m at.

The question of the high price of meat
and the cold storage business is sum-
med up by the Burlington clipper as fol-
lows:
Fourteen million cattle.
Six million calves.
Twenty-Five million sheep and lambs.
Fifty million hogs.
1900, 900, 900 eggs.
10000, 900 pounds of poultry.
This is the modest amount of food
stuff that is held in cold storage in this
country at this time. This explains
also why the trusts can keep up the
prices. Until some way is found to re-
lease this great amount of supplies for
public consumption little Roadway will
be made against high prices. The peo-
pie are on the right track however and
the cold storage trust will have to dis
gorge. Modern cold storage is great
blessing, but, like many another bless
ing, it may be easily made curse. In
the expressive language of the small
boy the people of this country are
about to say to the cold storage trust
Come off the perch" If the message
carries sufficient volume the perch will
be vacated.
Here is food for thought. Are we
paying the price of fresh beef and other
meat and receiving in exchange the
flesh of animals which have been killed
for twelve months or so, or are we
really getting what we pay ror? With
the price of meat what it is, and has
been for long time past, it would seem
that we are entitled to something fresh,
or nearly SO, but whether we will get
it is another question.
When the matter is all threshed out
and the boycott is thing of the past
we will, in all probability, take what the
butcher gives us and pay the price he
asks, the same as we have done in the
past. And the price will be regulated
by the so-called ''beef barons' not by
the local men.

Speaking of postal savings banks,
about which so much is being said just
now, there is a good deal of truth in the
following from state paper: 1T is
said that deposits in postal savings
banks, provided such banks are estab-
lished, will draw interest at the rate OF
2 cent per cent per annum. With saw
ings banks all around ready to pay from
3 l-2 to four per cent, what scramble
there will be to get in on the ground
floor" Considering the enormous def
cit in the postoffice department during
the past year some are prone to ask why
we should be burdened with this additi-
onal expense.

The officials of the Rutland railroad,

ing abreast of the times and giving the
public the best service possible. They
are making plans for additions to the
present repair shops at Rutland which
will cost, with their equipment, $50, 900.
The plans call for new boiler shop l4O

An exchange notes that the president
of the national association of boot anc
shoe makers volunteers the suggestion
that people who are abstainlng, from
mand and force down the present high
prices, are thereby causing a decrease
in the number of cattle killed and a cor.
responding increase in the price of hides,
so that they are paying as much extra
for their footwear as they save in Their
table expenses. In other words, it is
merely a question which way you wish
to suffer, empty stomach or cold feet.

G. P. Aud is getting quite as much

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian points
out that several of the constitutional
amendments proposed by the revision
commission would result in large saving
to the state. 1t costs $1,000 day to rur
the legislature while in session, and if
the time spent in considering the sen.
fences of murderers, on useless yea and
nay votes and on special corporation
measures were saved, adjournment
might be expected to take place much
earlier. To this might be added the
large saving effected by abolishing the
September election, combining it, as
proposed, with the November election.

With reference to the proposals for
amendment to.the constitution of Yer
mont to be recommended at our next
legislature, would it be feasible, even
though set forth by the committee. to
cause the removal of the clause that
prevents any proposals for amendments
Oftener than every ten years. We all
know what these two year amendments
are doing to the laws of Vermont
mixing them up so that it is even hard
for the best legal talent to figure them
out. If amendments are. granted to
the constitution at every session of the
legislature and they will arise through
various causes troubles similar to the
law perpleXities are liable to take place.
At least one will have TO go through a
series of amendments to get at the real
essence of the facts. Amended consti-
tutions do not read well. They should
be so strong and durable that the less
they are tempered with the better. Five
good men should be capable of building
up constitution that would stand proof
for ten years without being haggled at
the end of two. Like the Declaration
of Independence, they should remain
so unchanged as to be familiar to every
school boy even of tender wears. The
more they are mutilated the more they
will be overlooked. 1t is too much like
the installment plan-these two year
amendments, which, in the constitution,
at least, appear out of place. So we
look at it. Newport Standard.

DR.. H. w. Wiley, the government
chemist, gives this as a sure test of the
age or quality of eggs: "a fresh egg is
fresh egg when it will sink in salt
water. If it doesn't sink in salt water,
clear to the bottom, then it is a stale
egg, probably cold storage egg, and
the man who sold it as fresh is a liar.
Make the testn this simple way: Take
a glass about three-quarters filed with
10 per cent solution of common table
salt. Into this drop the eggs. All the
absolutely fresh eggs Immediately will
sink to the bottom of the beaker, while
the eggs that are not quite so fresh will
float submerged, and the eggs that are
quite passe will float quarter or third
out of water" This is worth trying. -

that are bound to produce results. Its
plan to introduce winter sports such as

one and will bear good fruit. Land

for toboggan slides, and a skating rink
maintained nearby on the river. Snow
shoeing, skiing and coasting can be
INDUCED on hills within easy reach of

they may enjoy these sports in Mont

leave many dollars with the merchants

be done in Burlington. 1t would be a
good thing if several cities in the state
should provide similar attractions. The
same people attracted to one place
would undoubtedly visit others. Even
