HOROSCOPE.
THE stars incline, but do not compel ~
sunday, January 1915.

sunday, January y. 1915.
This is an unusually fortunate day, for
many planets are exercising. sway. the
seers declare. Saturn, Jupiter, Venus
Uranus and the sun are all in benefic
aspect
The day should be especially favorable
for the aged, whose counsel is most val
liable, while the coniiguration prevails.
A great benefaction from an old finan-
cier is foretold. 1t will be the last before
his death, which will remove one of the
most widely advertised men of the day.
Bankers and brokers should benefit by
the stimulating and encouraging infiu-
ences, which the planets are believed to
exercise under this government of the
stars. 1t is fortunate time for them
to seek advice from lawyers
1t is a lucky time for asking favors
and for making large plans for the fu-
ture.
The forecast continues to show increase
OF interest in all occult subjects. num-
ber of teachers will rise TO fame within
the next few years. -.
This is a happy day for love affairs
which will interest the old as well as the
young. A period of romanticism which
has both good and evil possibilities has
begun.
Scandals will be uncovered in many
places before the spring, II the stars
are to be believed. One of these will
be OF national interest, as 1t involves
large amounts of money as well as per-
sonal honor.

ANTS PROVIDED WITH LIGHT
Curious Phenomenon That Has Tor
Some Time Attracted Attention
Of Scientists.

There has been observed curious
phenomenon connected with the nests
otthe Brazilian white ants or termites.
These, when seen ON the headwaters
of the Rio Verde, seem to be covered
with tiny stars, which give the nest
the aspect Of a miniature tower bril-
liantly illuminated. When the nest 10
struck with q stick the lights go out,
only to reappear again little by little.
Castelnau, in the middle Of the last
century, reported similar spectacle
near the city Of Goyaz. According to
his account, the lights were produced
by an immense number Of small phos-
phorescent larvae, which withdrew In.
to the galleries Of the mound when
an attempt was made to capture them.
It has been pointed out by several
authorities that these exhibitions are
probably confined to some particular
species or to some special occasion
or conditions of termite life, since
many scientists have spent consider
able periods Of investigation in Brazil
without seeing them.

sTUBB0RNNEss HAS A VALUE
Quality Not Usually Considered
Praiseworthy 10 All Right In the
Army Mule.

The fact that q mule is stubborn
may lessen his value to the average
user-but the soldier is inclined to
value this trait. The mule is being
rated above the horse for actual use
under fire on battlefields, and is much
used by the artillery. An unframed
horse, being nervous and high strung,
is likely to dash about madly under
fire, but the mule stubbornly holds his
place regardless of the din. The Brit
ish are now planning to mount part
Of their cavalry on American mules
A favorite story Of the British artil'
lery is told of the artillerymen who
tried to retreat with their guns under
a warm attack. The gun team Of
mules stubbornly refused to bulge,
so in desperation the gunners returned
to the gun and succeeded in beating
back the attack. They were warmly
commended for their valor-but admit.
ted that the praise was properly due

Generals Cruz Dominguez and
Julio Acosta for several days
when they encountered them en-
camped in the huddled adobe
houses of Ojo-Azules. The Mexi-
cans were completely surprised
and sprang from their pallets half
clothed. After firing a few wild
shots they fled, each man shifting

able to seize their horses already
jaded from hard days ride pre-

way into the hills afOOt.
In Major Howze's report he
said the route had been absolute
