him, called him his son and decided
that the little chap must be christ

case Of children.
or course there was no chaplain
aboard. so the captain himself under

knowledge Of his duties he glared
about him and asked whether any
one knew just cause why the boy
should not be christened.
IF there is," he roared. speak up

Then he suddenly cracked a bottle

Hearing Of Ants.


Naturalists generally appear to have
accepted the opinion that ants are not
able to perceive any sounds that are
audible to human earn, but there are
those who controvert this opinion
One investigator conducted careful ex-
periments with four species Of Ameri-
can ants, from which he deduced the
conclusion that these species, at least,
were able to perceive sounds, but
whether they did 1t by means Of or
gans Of hearing. or through the sense
of touch being excited by atmospheric
vibrations, he was unable to ascertain
This experimenter inclines to the opin-
ion that ants do really hear. as some
individuals showed a perception Of the
direction OF the sound. such as that Of
a shrill whistle, and others, which
were not disturbed and violently
shaken in their glass prisons seemed
greatly to be perturbed by shrill
sounds.-Harper's Weekly.

Men Favored to Teach Girls.

Arguments as to whether men or
women should be employed to educate
girls are being heard a great deal
nowadays. Many women think men
teachers exert a greater influence on
girls and make them do more study
ing. Others contend women teachers
have a more refining influence. II am
tired" said one man, "of the con-
stant demand for women as COVER
nesses for girls. am convinced gov
ernesses have q narrowing influence
on girls. whereas well-trained men
have a broadening mental influence.
1t is true the majority Of studies may
be taught more effectively by men
and that their minds are more log
ical. It is true women may have
greater tact. more sympathy than
men. but In the training Of children
the mans mind, being broader, has
more lasting influence. ."-Pittsburg
