Aunt Judy had been brought uI
from the plantation on the coast for a
visit to the "big family" house in Sa.
vannah. There she learned to her in
dignant and outspoken disapproval
that one of her granddaughters, whom
she had never seen, had been allowed
to go north to study for the operate

ballet and chorus and the time OF
Judy's outraged exit from the theater
To the old woman the expedition OF
the mistress granddaughter was much
as II the girl had elected to go off in
the company of Satan, Caligula and

Also, there was marble Venus de

Ants Walk on Water.

It may not be new to observers OF
animal life, but l have been much in
terested in watching the common
house ant here in Rio de Janiero, says
writer in Nature.
We have an American fly trap; the
sugar was one day covered with ants
so placed the trap on finger bowl
standing in plate of water. The ants
when they came to the edge of the wa.
ter, ran around the bowl until con.
vinced there was no way across, and
then calmly took to the water, and ran
across it by aid of surface tension
without getting their feet wet.
Having presumably been home to
the nest, they returned for more sugar,
crossing in the same way, and this
went on regularly, a steady process,
sion crossing the water.

INSECTS HAVE NO NOSTRILS
Nature Seemingly Concluded Small
Creatures Could Get Along With
out That Convenience.

All insects need air, even those that
live in water, but no insect has nos
trils, or any opening in the head
through which it breaths Instead
there is a row of small openings
called spiracles, down each side of its
body, one on each segment, begin.
ming with the second or third of the
thorax or chest, and extending back
to the tip of the abdomen. The spira
cles open into two air-tubes that ex
tend the length of the insect, one on
each side, just within the wall of the
body. These tubes are connected in
the thOraX by two crOss-tubes, and
from them smaller tubes diverge
These, in turn, divide and redivide.
growing constantly smaller, until the
finest tubes permeate every part OF
the insect, even the tops of the arten
nae and the joints Of the feet The
tubes are known as tracheae, and
serve the same purpose that the lungs
serve in the vertebrates; to carry
oxygen to the blood and tissues. The
outer openings or spiracles, are pro
tected in various ways-as for exam
pie, by circlet of hairs-in order
to prevent the admission Of anything
except air. If they become clogged
by any such substances as oil OF
grease the insect suffocates. The
humming of gnats, the buzzing OF
flies, and similar sounds, are produced
by the vibration of the air in the
spiracles and treachae.-Youth's Com
