SOME CREDIT DUE INSECTS

Glory Of Discovery OF Hidden
Precious Metals.

To the immortas In the hall OF fame
Of mining, including the patient burro,
who discovered the silver In the Occur

spOnsitle for the location Of the Sill

Its outlet full Of gold sand, must be
added another representative of the
animal kingdom. In an interesting
book, by John Nave, an English min
eralogist, recounting travel observa-
tons in Brazil, made In 1910, Is record
ed the discovery Of gold In one of the
then important districts in the state Of
Minas Geraes, In which the busy little
ants played important parts. He says:
Some negroes employed In clearing
the lands broke up an ant hill of con-
siderable size, when. upon laying II
open TO the air for the purpose Of de-
stroylng or dispensing the insects, large
grains of gold were found" Future
historians of mining will please take

ClEvERNESS or POLAR BEAR
Almost impossible TO Catch the AMI.
NAL in Any Sort of Trap That
Can Be Devised.

According 10 the stories told by arc
tic explorers and whalers. polar bears
like many other animals Of the far
North that have hard time finding
food-show an unusual reasoning fac
atty, says Peoples Home Journal
A whaler tells OF planning to cap
lure a polar bear by means of slip
moose arranged about bait. The
moose caught one OF the bears claws.
but the animal worked itself loose and
carried away the bait. The sailor set
the moose again, but this time the bear
pushed the rope away before ventur-
ing near the bait. The third time the
sailor covered the moose with snow,
but the bear scraped about until ne
found the rope and again dragged 1t 10
one side The fourth time the sailor
put the bait Ia the bottom Of hole SO
the bear would have to crawl partly
into it. Then he put the moose entire
~ around the hole and covered IL With
snow. This did not deceive the bear,
however, as the animal carefully I'M
covered the rope. knocked 1t aside and
carried off the bait Then the sailor
gave up.
Another story tells of polar bears
cieyerness la catching seal. The
seal had climbed through hole In the
Ice, but was keeping near the edge ia
order to be able "a plunge In at the
approach of danger. The bear saw the
seal from a distance and knew that
there was no chance to steal across the
Ice and attack Its prey. Accordingly
the bear entered the water through an
other hole considerable distance
away, swan under the ice TO the hole
through which the seal had emerged
and seized the luckless animal, which
naturally was taken entirely by sur
prise.
