Ants Eat Throuqh Lead Cables.

White ants are causing much trou ble in South Australia in telephone cables and also in the underground electric light lines. On the lead shcathed telephone cables crosses be- tween the circuits began to occur. Upon withdrawing some of this cable from the ducts it was found that the ants had eaten through the lead in many places. On the Sidney system of electric lighting the ants ate through the bitumen compound and then through the lead and high ten sion insulation next to the wire. To stop the ravages which will incur an enormous expense if not checked, arsenious oxide mixed with bitumen, sort of pitch, is being applied to the cables. Carbon bisulphide is also be- ing tried with the idea that the odor will drive tue ants away.

Unable to Count Beyond Four.

A close observer has definitely es, tablished the fact that magpies and rocks cannot count further than four. A rock never returns to it's nest until it is quite satisfied that there is no danger near. When four hunters or less departed in succession from a nearby log cabin, the rock would re- turn to it's nest after the last had gone out of sight. But whenever there were more the bird lost count and re. turned to it's nest even while some were still in the hut {

great dress reform: their toilet tables
were childishly innocent of violet wa
ter or rice powder or-rats-and when
they emerged with their hair neatly
drawn to a dough-nut at the back of
their heads, they generally gave forth
the highly romantic odor of some good
laundry soap.
unknown to them, because they pre-
ferred simple, sensible things with a
quill stuck in at the side, and their
nervous systems-well, you know they
were pretty nearly all round perfect,
when they went through years and
years and years of strenuous chase for
the Elusive male without showing II
much.
Every time some over-eloquent man
would commence prancing around to
me on the dress reform topic, I always
had at least one of these sensible fe-
males to haul up triumphantly for his
inspection. and 1t always had the de-
sired effect somehow.
Being a woman you've probably
edged through some of these self-same
skirnishes yourself-and, well, you
know.
There aren't many women, honest
ly and truly, who wouldn't fairly jump
at the chance Of being whole lot
more sensible in their dress If 1t wasn't
for the exceptional woman" who
wouldn't-and, again, IL the men would
let them.
But when all had become regular
and sane and sensible and in line with
his homegrown philosophy and so on,
along would come the aforesaid Eek
ceptional woman with her much de-
srised stays, and lines and figure"
and away would go that same sensible
husband.-fer 1t has happened!
Anyhow, that's what a lot OF US
are kind of sneakingly suspicious
about this simple dressing business.
Just, OF course. among US girlsi
