Snake KiIlino Ants.

It is difficult to believe that ants will
kill snakes, but such is the case, and
scientists have discovered that in GER
tain regions this class Of reptile has no
more persistent enemy. The large red
brown forest ants are the most i'm
placable, and a curious thing about the
attack Of these tiny creatures on the
reptiles is that they kill it for food and
not on account of natural antipathy.
When some Of these ants catch sight
of a snake they arouse the whole COM
munity at once. In platoons and bat
talions the little fellows set upon it,
striking their "nippers" into its body
and eyes at thousands Of points at
once. So rapidly is this done that the
snake has no chance Of escaping He
soon becomes exhausted and dies igno-
miniously. The ants then tear off the
flesh, gradually stripping off the skin
and working inside it. Not until they
have carried away everything except
the bones and the skin do they abandon
their prey.

A Great oueen'a Letters.

eve may wonder II the world will
ever be allowed to see the private cor
respondence amassed by the late Queen
Victoria" says writer. 1T is stored
away In a strong room built into the
walls of Buckingham palace, and the
queen shared her confidence with no
one. So long as she was physically
able to do so she opened and closed
the safe herself and arranged it's con-
tents. When she was too feeble to do
this she employed an old and trusted
secretary, but even he had to work
under the royal eye. He was never al
lowed to keep the keys nor to read the
letters that he handled.
queen Victoria was always volu-
minous letter writer, and she was in
constant communication with most Of
the royalties in Europe. Every do
mestic secret and privacy of royalty
during half century is said to be rep
resented by the contents OF this won
derful safe, and it is easy to believe
that the modern historian would find
his hands full if he were permitted to
browse among these letters.
But probably he will have to walt
few hundred years. and then his
popular audience win be languid one.
1t is one of the ironiss Of life that we
can never have things when we want
them "-Chieago News.

Flxinu Fish.

Flying fish swim in shoals varying
in number from dozen to a hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once. darting through the air in the
same direction for eco yards or more,
and then descend to the water quickly,
rising again and then renewing their
flight Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out of the water and gaining
upon his prey. which take shorter and
shorter flights. vainly trying to escape,
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fins at all as wings
is not fully decided. The power Of
flight is limited to the time the fins re-
main moist.

When "LIoyd's" Was Coffee House.

When "Lloyd's" Was Coffee House.
The man who gave his name to the
great maritime institution, Lloyd's,
was not, as might be supposed. a tinan-
cier or a shipowner, but only humble
coffee house keeper. OF his history
nothing is known save that he kept
coffee house in Lombard street at the
beginning of the eighteenth century,
which, from its proximity to the Royal
Exchange, came to be favorite assem-
bling place of the underwriters. The
first mention Of his house occurs in a
poem, "The Wealthy Shopkeeper." pub
lished in 1900:
Then to Lloyd's coffee house to go ne

To read the letters and attend the sales.
In ITO Steele dated some numbers
Of the Taller from Lloyd's. and Addi-
son also makes mention Of the coffee
house in the SPECTATOR London Chron-

Prime steers reached $1,000, and

and regular feeders sold up to

have held off this week, and

ferings of decent steers, such as
come from the Usage country.
These steers are quotable at S.
