AT HOME WITH THE ANTS.
industrious Insects Shelter Many
Strange Lodgers.

One of the most remarkable things
in the economy Of the ants nest is
the number Of extraneous animals
which pick up living therein. Some
OF these, as the aphides, are useful to
the ants, supplying them with a sweet
Juice. while others, like certain blind
beetles, seem to be pets. Others seem
TO be useless, and only tolerated by
their hosts. who cannot get rid OF
them. OF the latter class appear to
be the ant.loving crickets (Myrme-
cophila) found in ants nests all over
the globe.
An account of the life history OF
these ant.crickets is given by f.,
Schimmer in a German geological pub
lication. They get their food by lick
ing the ants, robbing those returning
TO the nests with food, or the newly
fed larvae. Sometimes they are ac-
tually fed by the ants. There Is prob
ably some deception in this, for they
have learned to initiate the ants meth
cd OF demanding food. The ant does
It by raising the antennae, and the
cricket initiates this by raising its
forelegs. Probably the ant whose
duty It Is to feed the others when they
raise their antennae is deceived by
, the raised forelegs Of the cricket.
These crickets lay their eggs and the
young are reared in the ants nests.

Preserving splders' Webs.

Naturalists employ an interesting
method to preserve all kinds of spi-
ders' webs. The webs are first spray
ed with an atomizer with artists shell
lac, and then, should they be of the
ordinary geometric form, they are
pressed carefully against a glass plate,
the supporting strands being at the
same time severed.
After the shellac has dried, the
plates carrying the webs can be
stored away in a cabinet.
Even dome-shaped webs may be
preserved in their original form by
spraying them with shellac and then
allowing them to dry before removal
from their supports. Many spiders
webs are very beautiful and all are
characteristic of the species to which
they belong, so that from a scientific
standpoint, their permanent preserya-
ton is very desirable.

lron.concrete Roads.

The increasing weight of wagons
in recent years has aroused the in
genuity of road-builders. Among the
different suggestions for improving
the two principal requirements of the
modern road-enduring strength and
absence of dust.
Nothing but iron is fitted to resist
the wear of the electric and other
motor vans, and iron incorporated
with cement is now used on the high
ways of France. "Ferro-cement" is a
mixture of mortar (made of cement
and sand) and iron shavings, known
in the French market as iron straw
(paille de fer) The iron so used Is
in fine, regular, yarn-like threads
which, Immediately after they are
mixed in the liquid mass, contract a
molecular alliance with the cement.
When mixed the mass Is absolutely
homogeneous. The iron filings are
made by a special machine, because
ordinary -waste-being irregu'
lar in form, could not be used. The
straws, or filings, must be regular and
free from grease and dust.

How Flyina-fish Fly.

Flying-fish must have been watched
ever since the first mariners ventured
upon the sea- and yet the question of
the manner in which they perform
their flights is apparently unsettled.
DR.. Abel, an eminent Austrian au-
thority, maintains that the initial i'm
petus by means of which they launch
themselves is due to screw-like move
ments of the tail fin, and that the
wings are in no sense propelling or
gans, but act simply as parachutes.
1t is maintained by other observers
that the flight Of hying-iishes is due
to incessant and extremely rapid
movements of their wing-like fins. 1t
has been suggested that there may be
differences in the manner of flight of
different species of fish, and that con-
sequently there may be truth in both
views.

Treasury Profits.

The government profits slightly by
the destruction of stamps which have
been paid for, and the Treasury gets
the benefit of bills which are lost and
never found.
A larger source Of irregular profit
lies in the failure of bondholders to
present their bonds for redemption.
Unclaimed money in the Treasury due
to bondholders amounted to nearly a
million dollars in 1861, and the sum
is much greater now. OF loan which
fell due in 1900 a sum in excess of
$4,000 remains unclaimed, Over a
hundred thousand dollars are still un-
paid of the five-per-cent. bonds which
were due in 1904, In 1907 over a
hundred million thirty-year four-per-
cent. bonds came due on July 1st.
Special inducements were offered to
secure early redemption, yet at the
end of that month thirteen million
dollars still stood in the Treasury on
that account, although interest had
ceased.

plsuse of the Sword.

Mahon in his History of England
remarks that the use of the sword as
part of a gentleman's attire now out
of fashion, was a constant temptation
to draw the sword on a sudden quar-
rel. He cites the duel between Lord
Byron and Mr.. Chandler in 1865, re-
sulting in the death OF the latter, as
an example. The same is doubtless
true of groups of men or nations.
where the army and navy are ready
at hand, they may be used on a sud-
den impulse, and must be used now
and then to prove their right to ex-
ist. The argument for simultaneous
and proportional disarmament is not,
therefore, the plea of extreme peace
men. but a reasonable and common
sense view of the issue. Let each ma
tion keep order in its own territory,
and let the nations make trust to
keep international areas in good
working order. Thus an international
army and navy may supersede the
present competitive armies and navies
to the great advantage Of all.-The
