of much gossip in the little group
which at that time made up San Fran
cisco's fashionable world. They
laughed at her and went to her enter
tainments. They told stories Of her
small social mistakes. and fawned on
her husband for positions for their
sons. He understood them, treated
them with an open, cynical contem pit
and used them. He was big enough to
realize his wife's superiority, and II
amused him to punish them for their

husband had been all hers. These
were her beaux jours.
She died some twelve years after
the installation in San Francisco. Bill
Cannon had loved her after his fash
Ion and always respected her, and the
withdrawal OF her quiet, sympathetic
presence left a void behind it that
astonished, almost awed him. The
two children, Eugene and Rose, were
eighteen and thirteen at the time. She

II was at the end of the Bonanza

ais and downfalls. when miners had
suddenly become millionaires. and
rich men found themselves paupers,
that Bill Cannon built his mansion In
San Francisco. He had made his for

meteoriC years. as the public, who
loves picturesque histories, was wont
to recount relishingly, but in series
of broken periods of plenty with lean
years in between. The Crown Point
and Belcher rise made him a man of
means, and its collapse was said to
have ruined him. Afterward, wise
acres shook their heads and there
were rumors that it was not Bill Can
non who was ruined In the dead
period which followed this disastrous
cataclysm of fortune and confidence

Ants Have an Unfaiiing Method o
Finding Their Way Back to
Their Nests.

Not only naturalists, but every one
who has watched ants has wondered
how they find their way to and from
their nests. A French naturalist, M.
Coruetz. has been observing ants in
Algeria and in a recent issue of La Ma
ture he tells the results Of his OBJ
servations.
The ant, he says. In it's outward jour
ney, proceeds throughout in the di-
rection initially chosen: on It's return
Tie insect places its body at the same
angle and walks in the opposite di-
rection. The body of the ant would
therefore act as kind OF compass
needle.
If an ant is caught at the nest and
transported to point some yards dis
tant, the insect is quite incapable OF
finding its way back. 1t runs around
on the ground until it accidentally
comes across the entrance TO the bur
row. The case is quite different II
an ant IS allowed to find its way 10 a
distance unmolested. On leaving the
nest it places itself In a certain diree-
ton and holds the same. no matter
what obstacles it may meet with en-
route and no matter what side tracks
II NAV occasionally strike in order to
seize some article Of food OF Of struc-
tural value for its nest
The return is effected directly, rap
ialy and without hesitation, even II
the ground covered has been swept In
order to change its relief. The return
is obviously determined completely oy
the outward trip. and an ant which
has left its nest on voyage OF ex
plo-ation finds its way back just be
cause it has made the oGtwart jour
