The Ant World
x Honeymoon =

The marriage flight from an ant
hill takes place in fine Summer
weather. and if you were a member
Of the community, and happened
to be a winged male ant. nothing
could restrain you from following
the young queens as their silken
wings flashed invitation from the
blue background Of the eloudless
sky while they set out on their
FIRST and last voyage, destined to
make each of them the potential
mother Of new State.
The flight OF the queens is an op-
portunity for the males which is Of
fered but once in a lifetime, and
which. moreover. promises ineVi-
table and almost immediate death TO
the successful pursuer-yet not one
shrinks from the adventure.

pursuers, but the whole together are
so numerous that they make a little
futtering. iridescent cloud. skim

ground. rising. turning and falling
with a balloon-like motion or cir
cling bout a tree-top. Here is a
description. resembling many others
that have been written, Of what
takes place in one of these wonder
full flights:
The young queen races away
pursued by the ardent woOers who
fan in their thousands to enter
prising swallows. missing their
way. and dropping to rest their
tired wings on any object within
reach But the voung queen flies
on. She IS strong Of wing. and her
husband must be the best OF the

By Associated Press.)


AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, August
$3.50 widespread and considerable
has been the rise in the prices OF
Dutch stocks on the Amsterdam
Bourse since its reopening after six
months idleness in February, 1915,
that a list of hundred of the prin.
cipal banks, Industrial concerns, oil.
development, rubber, tobacco and
shipping companies shows total
gain in value OF over $4,000. 900.
This figure is arrived at on the basis
OF the difference in quotations and
the respective amounts of issued
capital. II is true that there has
been considerable decline In the
case or certain other stocks, but the
present position is on the whole a
striking one in view Of the fear and
anxiety with which the reopening of
the Stock Exchange was viewed. One
shipping companys shares have risen
over 700 per cent, and number of
stocks OF various kinds have adj
vanced 100 and 200 per cent. With
a rise of 2l7 points in the eighteen
months, the Holland America lines

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be ouret

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachina Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum.
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when II is entirely closed Deafness is
the result Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
20 its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever Many cases Of deaf.

inflamed condition Of the mucous sur

the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
