NEW DISCOVERY ABOUT ANTS
Scientist Asserts That the Insects
Have q Regular Form Of SaIuta-
tlon Among Themselves.

Ants have long been known for their
excessive industry, but from curious
communication which has Just ap-
peared they seem to have surpassed
all other insects by organizing an
elaborate system OF signaling.
Professor Bugnlon. who has recently
Investigated the habits OF the white
ant. reports that the soldiers" OF that
species give warnings or encouraging
signals by knocking with their Jaws
upon dry leaves, thereby emitting q
cracking sound. Placing some Of
these ants on big plate and covering
II with paper. he found that the sol.
diers" among the ants responded to
his taps with a rustling. cracking
sound.
Moreover. apart from this audible
signaling. there appears to be some
inaudible form Of signal. for the pro
fessor asserts that the Soldier" ants
salute the worker ants.
To do this. "the insect stands firmly
on It's legs with the head raised and
the body slightly oblique. and shakes
itself for an instant with q oonvulsivs
shudder. This seems to moan some
thing"

CHAPTER ii-contInued.

"Oh, like Washington" she said.
bringing herself back to the conver-
sation with difficulty.
Her father, noticing her abstrac-
ton, remarked indulgently: "She likes
Washington, Slade. She likes the
East, but she doesn't tell It to every
body on account OF fathers votes.
Now, Slade and l love our western
city, eh, Slade?"
"Well,"' with some reluctance, Its
, good starting point" Slade admitted.
"Ah!" Katherine exclaimed, now
thoroughly herself again. There's a
man for you! He's not going to let

burst of vehemence.
"Napoleon" repeated the senator
"Yes, Napoleon. He got what he
wanted, and nothing ever stood in his
path. l just love the way he rode
over poor old Josephine's heart, don't
you?"-and she turned to Slade.

earnestly, as II she we're making g

crumble, hold II back with 1.inch
boards braced against the forms. To
keep out floor water, the pit may be
extended 6 inches above the ground by
using the lower half Of 1.foot board
to hold back the dirt, by allowing the
remainder to project above the ground
level, and by adding Q inches to the
height Of the inside form. Remove
the forms after the concrete has set
four days by first drawing the nails
in the corner by as. The pit may
be used after 10 days.
Where the manure must be stored
for a considerable length OF time,
larger pits or basins are required.
Such pits are seldom made over 5 feet
deep and are wide enough so that the
manure may be loaded on a spreader
in the Dit and drawn up q roughened
concrete incline or run. The slope fol-
such a run must not be sleeper than
/ foot up to feet out.
In building q manure basin use
team with O plow and scraper to make
an earthen pit in which to build
concrete basin OF the clear dimensioni
shown. In laying out the earthen pit
bear in mind that the concrete wall
and floor are 8 inches thick and maxi
due allowance for the same. With
spade trim the sides and the deep en'

For maintaining or restoring the
fertility of the fields there is nothing
better than barnyard manure. BY the
ordinary methods OF piling manure on
the ground or storing 1t in wooden
pens or boxes, 80 to so per cent OF
Its fertility is lost according to the
u. 8. Department Of Agriculture.
This loss is brought about In two
ways: First, by teaching or washing
due to heavy rains; second, by fer
mentation or heating caused by lack
of sufficient moisture. Since concrete
pits are waterproof, manure may be
kept in them as moist as may be
necessary and such an enormous
waste in the fertility Of the manure
may thus be entirely prevented. One
load of manure from concrete pit
Is worth IL to loads of manure as
usually stored. Moreover, with con-
crete pits the supply Of manure Is
Increased by all the liquid manure,
the richest part, from the barn gut
ters and feeding floors.
Shallow manure pits do very well
where the manure can be frequently
hauled to the fields. The walls and
floor should be 5 inches thick. The
clear dimensions OF the pit are:
Depth, 3 feet; width. 6 feet: length,
IL feet. Dig the trench feet inches
deep by feet 10 inches by ~ feet
10 inches. By keeping the sides YER
teal only an inside form Will be
needed. Frame the sides and ends
separately. For the sides cut the
1-inch siding IL feet long and nall
II to the four by inch uprights :
feet long and equally spaced. The end
uprights for the sides are by inch
pieces nailed fat to the siding; the
others are also by 4 but are nailed
On edge. II is not necessary to cut
these uprights to exact lengths: they
may be allowed TO extend above the
siding. Make the siding for the enc
sections OF the form feet inches
long and at the ends nail II to thu
edge OF two by 4 inch uprights
Place a single 2 by upright betweeI
each end pair. Cut four cross braces
8 to 10 inches long, from by 4 incl
tinbers. Have enough sections o
woven-wire fencing. 7h feet long, t
cover the bottom OF the pit.
Set up the forms on the inishe,
floor SO as to allow a 5-inch wall Of

Quickly begin filling the forms wit

Cutter for slIage.
There are on the market several
makes OF silage cutters that will give

Of the machine is an important consid

Splendid Endorsement

The eIsction does nothing Of the

not have been surprising If the demo-

the election that has just been held.
In the first place, the democratic
house majority elected two years ago
was an abnormal majority. It was
out OF all proportion TO the normal

the country. It was only made pos

party as the result Of the bolt by
Theodore Roosevelt.
The house majority now. whether 1t
be 20 or 80 or a. lesser number, Is a
more accurate indication Of the actual
Division Of public sentiment than the
majority elected two years ago. And

The German Defense
Of Using Tau.

Regardless OF how ones syn1pathIes
may be in respect to the European
war. the world at large can have moth
ing but admiration for the heroic de-
Tense which the little garrison Of Ger
mans made at the siege of Using Tau
This fort was besieged oy japanese
and British warships and by a Japanese
land force for almost three months
and it was defended by a small garrt-
son OF Germans who finally surrend-
cred only in the face of an over
whel1ningly superior force whose at
tacks were directed from both land
and sea.
In this siege the German soldiers
demonstrated a tenacity, an ability.
and a heroism with but few parallels
Il, history and all Northumberland and
foe alike-must accord them this IN
disputed recognition.
