search. Williams and his associates
were mute. Unmindful of the spec.
tators, they continued trying to re-
move the board. Darkness came, but
still the work continued. The big
billboard behind which the excavating
work was taking place, shut off the
light from the arc lamp in front. 1t
was too dark to work in the dusk,
and soon lanterns and electric flash
lights in large numbers came forth.
For hours these furnished the light,
while the diggers worked away. The
hole was enlarged so as to permit the
diggers to enter it.
Crowds Wouldn't Leave.
Every effort was made by Williams
and his associates to induce the
crowds to leave. This made the spec
tators all the more curious They de-
termined to stick until the last.
At 1870 o'clock, Williams said he
was through and that he was going
home. CPL return in the morning and
continue the work." he said, as he dis
appeared. But no one followed.
Il went over to the court house, got
a sack and placed in it a tin can and a
brick" Williams explained today.
This I placed under my coat, and re-
turned to the lot. When the first op-
portunity presented itself, and when
the lights were off for an instant
dropped the sack and its contents into
the hole. Smith saw it and caught
the idea.
"He continued digging for some
time. We saw that there was nothing
to be found. Finally, Smith crawled
to the top, and placing the sack under
his coat, went rushing away. He did
that just to fool the spectators
Smith headed for the court house,
with 500 curiosity seekers on his heel.
He entered the front door, rushed up
the steps, and hid himself in one of
the dark rooms, locking the door after
him. The crowd tried to enter, but
failed. Soon it dispersed.
In the meantime, a negro was put to
work filling up the hole, and in half an
hour, all traces of the digging had
disappeared.
There are scores of persons in the
city, however, that insist that Smith
found something at the bottom of the
excavation. Whether it was of any
value or not, is not known, but many
of the spectators insist that he found
some object in the well.
i The lot in question formerly was the
site of the old Patotte residence,
which was torn down some years ago.
The hole in which the men were
working is supposed to have been
filled-in we'll.

An oil can with long spout is con-
yenient instrument as it can be in
serted into the nests and the liquid
injected without its being brought
close to the operators nose, for the
fumes of bisulphide of carbon although
not poisonous, are nauseating. To IA
cilitate the entrance into the nest of
the chemical, the ant hole can be en-
larged with a sharp stick or iron rod
After the bisulphide of carbon has
been injected, the opening should be
closed by pressure of the foot in order
to retain the bisulphide. This will
penetrate slowly throughout the un-
foreground channels of the nest and
kill all the inmates. 1t is important
to remember that while bisulphide is
perfectly harmless if kept away from
all fire, it is very inflammable and
may, under certain circumstances, ex-
plode when ignited.
Except for the yunsightly appearance
of their nests, however, the lawn ants
do no appreciate harm. They are
frequently noted on roses and on 9TH
er ornamental and garden plants, and
it is naturally supposed that they are
doing harm to these. AS matter Of
fact, it is not the plants that attract
the ants. but plant lice. These tiny
creatures excrete a sweet liquid of
which ants are very fond and which
they collect without injuring the plant
lice. For this reason plant lice are
frequently termed "ant cows The
analogy is emphasized by the fact
that ants have been known to take
plant lice into their nests, shelter
them through the winter, and return
them to suitable plants in the spring
very much as men are accustomed to
feed and shelter COWS throughout the
winter, putting them on pasture with

the coming of the spring. This is the
only way in which ants can be said
to injure plants. They enter houses
very rarely and, on the wnole, may be
said to do no harm of any kind except
in so far as they lessen the attractive
appearance of the lawn. On the 9TH
er hand, it is quite possible that by
bringing up from the lower depths
sand and earth they may distinctly
Increase fertility by forming a top
dressing or soil mulch, and at the
same tine permit better aeration of
the earth.

GARDEN ANTS Do
BUT LITTLE HARM
DO NOT iNJURE PLANTS AND IT'S
EASY TO KEEP THEM OFF
OF LAWN.

Washington, D. c., June 24-An I'M
usual number of complaints have been
received this year by the Department
of Agriculture from persons who say
that ants are injuring their lawns and
gardens. AS a matter of fact, these
ants do little harm and the injury that
is attributed to them is usually caused
bv something else. In large numbers,
however, the small conical nests which
they build on lawns are somewhat
unsightly and on this account it may
be desirable in some cases to destroy
them.
Where there Is only a small area to
be covered the simplest method is to
drench the nests with boiling water.
Another simple remedy is to spray
the lawn with kerosene emulsion or
with a very strong soap wash pre-
pared by dissolving any common laun-
dry soap in water at the rate of 1
pound or u pound to gallon of wa
ter. Such methods are particularly
well adapted to small lawns and for
the ordinary little lawn ant.
For larger ant colonies of other
species, bisulphide of carbon, a chem
ical which can be purchased at any
drug store, will be found effective.
