Afghanistan has no outlet to the sea
and hence no navy. But the para.
mount factor in it's life is it's state OF
military preparedness. Out of politi.

istan has been created by the supreme
genius of Abdur Rahman, the late fa.
ther of the present Amir. He fought
his way to the throne of Afghanistan,
and Immediately after his recognition
set himself to reorganizing the scat.
tered forces Of the army. He hired
Turkish officers to train his officers and
to drill his men. He built forts all
over his kingdom, especially along its
frontiers. He established arsenals
two Of which, those at Kabul and He
rat, were under German military ex.
perts for some time. Abdur Rahman
used his subsidy money in buying guns
rifles and munitions of war from the
British. He built stOrehouses through
out his kingdom for storing foodstuffs
to be used only in cases Of emergency
He built strategic roads-though there

ANT NURSES OF butterflies
Peculiar Relationship Which Natural
lists Have Observed Between crea.

+ Ants and butterflies are not ordinar.
lily on friendly terms, for ants have .
ruthless custom of selling and devour>
ing their winged acquaintances. There
is, however, one species of butterfly
the larvae of which are protected by
the large black ants found in Indian
gardens.
The secret of this care lies in the
fact that the larvae give out sweet
liquid Of which the ants are very fond,
and which they obtain by gently strok-
ing the little creatures with their an
tennae. At the foot of a bush on
which the larvae feed, the ants con.
struct q temporary nest and are then
ready to act as attentive nurses.
About the middle of June the ants
are busy running about on this bush
In search of the larvae, and driving
them downward toward their own
nest. When the prisoners reach their
places, they at once fall into pupae.
During this period, II the loose earth
ut the foot of the bush be scraped
away, hundreds Of larvae and pupae
may De seen arranged IN u DrOaO even
band about its trunk.
In about a week the butterfly Is
ready to come forth and is tenderly
assisted to leave its shell. If It is
strong and healthy, 1t is allowed to
spread it's wings and fly away, but
should 1t grove delicate the ants exer-
else the utmost care in assisting It to
the tree, and holding it there in safe
ty. It is a curious sight to watch these
fragile creatures going about in per-
feet confidence among the fierce ants.
which hive, however, by no means
adopted the profession of nursing for
the love of it, for when the larvae OF
another species are thrown among
them they Immediately set upon them
aud tear them in pieces.
