the time has now come for the build
ing of railroad through northern
British Columbia to the Yukon and

authorities at Washington and
Ottowa have both gone so far as to

operation in the building of this

cordingly the weight of its body, would
increase eiGhtfold. Although the mus
cles grow to twice their original di-
mansions. the increase in length does
not increase the strength. which is
proportional to their cross section. and
the ant would only be four times as
strong as before. As it now carries
but five times its weight, however, it
is relatively only half as strong. 1t
is calculated that the same ant devel-
oped to the size of man would only
be able to carry one one-hundredth of
its own weight instead of ten times its
