Ants at Work.

An American botanist in the far
East reports that in Burma and its
vicinity the natives set the ants to
work.. Sandalwood, as everybody
knows, is worth it's weight in silver,
but it is only the hard heart of the
wood that is fragrant and valuable.
This precious portion is overlaid by a
soft and worthless layer, which forms
two-thirds of the trunk of the tree.
When tree is felled and cut into
suitable lengths the loggers just let it
lie. Then the ants, attracted by the
sweetness of the wood, attack the
chunks. Within few weeks the little
insects have finished their work, and
the valuable heart of the wood is
freed of its worthless sappy covering
and becomes q valuable article of COM

Sophia. Like it's greater hOmonym OF
Constantinople, the National Geo

domed basilica, and it was long con-
sidered to be a provincial copy Of that
great original. AS matter of fact,
the Saloniki church is the original,
having been built hundred years or
more the earlier, at the end Of the
fourth or the beginning Of the fifth
century The church has suffered dis
astrously by fire, earthquake and
restoration, but the original lines of
the structure remain, as well as the
pillars and beautiful capitals of wind
blown acanthus, and two fine frag-
ments of mosaic. The principal mosa-
ic, an Ascension. with decorative green
trees between the standing figures,

to date from 645, though the figure Of
