An Ant That Spins.

The spinning ant is found In India,
In Ceylon, In the islands Of Malacca
and in Australia. This ant weaves its
nest between two leaves of q tree,
preferably the mango. 1t begins to
build or to weave by drawing two
leaves together. To do this it runs a
line Of its working material-material
similar to the spiders thread-the
length Of the leaf and around it. While
at work 1t clings to the leaf with its
nails and at the same time draws on
the leaf nearest to it with its mandi-
bles. Sometimes the two leaves suit
able for nest building are too far apart;
then the builder calls in its fellow
ants, and they help to form a chain.
Each ant clings to the waist of its
neighbor by its mandibles. Thus en-
chained, they work to build the nest
Of their comrade.

The First Atlas.

The first modern atlas was the work
of Abraham Ortelius, a Dutch geogra-
pher, who died 51S years ago. His
monumental treatise, entitled "The-
atrum Orbis Terrarum," was first pub
lished at Antwerp in 1910 and was re-
vised and reissued five times during
the authors lifetime. 1t was a folio
volume containing nearly a husdred
maps, representing the different coun-
tries and continents as they were then
known. Although this atlas was a
momentous achievement, yet a bright
schoolboy today could draw maps from
memory with a better approximation
to correctness. Even England and
Scotland appear in this pioneer volume
with amazing distortions of coast line
and relative area, and many other
maps in the volume bear only a slight
resemblance to those Of today.-New
York World.

Audubon and His Hair.

Audubon, the great naturalist, early
In his career wore his hair very long.
He wrote i'm his diary one day: 81 wear
my hair as long as usual. l believe
it does as much for me as my paint
irgs." However, In 1927 his friends
succeeded in persuading him to get his
hair cut according to the prevailing
fashion. On March 10 of that year
he wrote In his diary: This day my
hair sacrificed and the will Of God
usurped by the wishes Of man. As the
barber clipped my locks rapidly it re-
minded me of the horrible times of the
French revolution when the same OPP
grafton was performed upon all the
victims murdered by the guillotine.
My heart sank low" Further to express
his grief, the margin of the page on
which this entry was made he painted
black about three-quarters OF an inch
deep all around.

Indians and Time.

Certain of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar Of their an
cestors. The Indian method was to
compute time by sleeps and moons.
A sleep is twenty-four hours, and a
moon is q month. There Is also
midmoon, where the sun Is at IL
o'clock meridian. This hour Is nd1-
Gated by pointing overhead.
When an Indian pointed quarter way
up the sky he meant 8 o'clock; when
he pointed quarter way down he meant
8 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there was a moon the time
was indicated in the same way as by
the sun. Were an Indian asked the
distance to a certain place or how far
he had come he would say so many
sleeps, or days travel A sleep, as
describing distance, was about thirty
five miles when walking deliberately
or from fifty to seventy-ive miles If
going In haste with a message.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

Strength of a Flower.

One of the most remarkable exhibit
ions Of plant force i ever saw, says
ohm Burroughs In THE Breath Of
life" was in a western city, where
observed a wild sunf1ower forcing its
way up through the asphalt pavement.
The folded and compressed leaves Of
the plant, like a mans fist, had pushed
against the hard but flexible concrete
until it bulged up and split and let the
irrepressible plant through. The force
exerted must have been many pounds
think it doubtful IL the strongest man
could have pushed his fist through such
a resisting medium.
Life activities are a kind Of explo-
sion, and the slow continued explo-
sions Of this growing plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
have done. 1t is doubtful II any cult
waited plant could have overcome such
odds. 1t required the force Of the un-
tanned hairy plant Of the plains to &C.
complish the feat.

THE VAGARIoUs LAW was sitting
in the smoking room compartment
next to two men who were discussing
the advisability of buying themselves

When we say we have been pestered

is an abbreviation for 'impester," and
a pastorium, In classic Latin, was SIM

around the pasture, and to prevent the
horses and cattle from straying too
far In quest Of lush grass their feet
were shackled. You would think you

low which is another evidence that the
term Infantile Paralysis is a MISSIONER
There are three forms of the disease
the paralylitie, the memingeal and the
abortive. 1t is evident that the abor.
tive type will often escape recognition
by the most careful observer. The
paralytie form is self evident and the
paralysis is sometimes permanent. It
is generally preceded by fever and in
disposition; the loss of the use of
limb may follow. Pain may be found
present in the back or shoulders. The
paralysis is abrupt in it's onset, it may
reach its height in twenty-four hours.
Abortive forms may show fever, head
aches, vomiting, twitchings of the limbs,
without local paralysis. There may be
coma, commissions, rigidity, without To-
cal paralysis.
The prevention of the malady must
be accomplished through general clean
illness, sanitary means. Recovery re-
quires the assistance of proper medical
and surgical care. This disease has
been epidemic before and was brought
under control. The great advance in
medical and surgical science will save
US again and again.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

There is in our midst at this time an
extension of the epidemic of Infantile
Paralysis. The disease is also called
Acute Anterior Polio-Myelitis because
of the evidences found post norton
which show that the spinal cord is often
affected anteriorly. As the name sug-
gests the disease often proceeds to a
condition where paralysis follows. 1t
is an acute infection due to 6lterable
germ that has been recently demon
strated. 1t occurs at times in epidemic
form as at present; at other times it is
found here and there sporadically. The
brain and spinal cord are affected.
The disease is capable of being spread
by seeretions from those who have the
disease or by those who have come in
contact with secretions from the nose
and throat of persons attacked. The
virus or germ enters the body by way
of the nose and the throat from which
routes it easily is transmitted to the
brain and spinal cord. 1t may be car
ried by contaminated healthy persons
who are careless about the matter of
personal hygiene. Those who come in
contact with the sick and who fail to
carefully clean their hands before other
contact are especially liable to scatter
this as well as other maladies. 1t is
known that nurses and others who at.
tend patients suffering of this disease
do not contract the disease readily and
the presumption is that they are prae-
tically immune because of their knowl.
