Ant Families.

One Of the most peculiar examples
of nature protection found in the
world is that afforded by the sugar
ant Of Australia The sugar ant is
one Of the smaller of the field ants of
that country The meat ant, on the
other hand, is very pugnacious crea-
ture. so that there are few enemies
of its size which dare approach its
nest. The sugar ant realizes this, so
it seeks protection for its own home
by building it at the base of the mound
of the meat ant. Then it covers the
nest entrance with leaves, so that they
are hidden from sight. The meat ant
works only during the day; as soon as
the sun sets, it goes into its nest and
is not easily disturbed, while darkness
prevails On the other hand, the sugar
ant comes out at night and feeds upon
the honey of flowers or the sap of
small plants. In this way the two
species of ant do not come in contact
with each other, and the meat ant pro-
vides plenty of protection for the sugar
ant. while the latter is having its day
time sleep. All of which reminds one
of the popular old farce of BOX and
Cox."-Christian Science Monitor.

NO CHANGE IN GULF STREAM
Government Experts Correct an I'M
preston Which Has Become More
or Less General.

1t is hard to be steady, consistent
and answering in spite of contrary
forces, and still to gain the reputation
of an erratic wanderer Yet this is
inst what has happened to the gulf
stream. Indeed, its character was
getting so maligned that the United
States government itself found it nee
essary to vindicate this current of
the ocean. Much has been said of
late years in regard to the changing
route of the stream. The government
experts declare there is no change in
the course, nor has there been for
many years. No other physical feature
of the ocean is subject to more per-
sistent misinterpretation than is the
Gulf stream. 1t is a pet theory of
many that the temperature of Europe
is greatly affected by it, but this effect
is not as extensive as is commonly
thought. Practically starting at the
Florida straits. where its volume is
made up by the union Of currents, it
ceases to be a true current by the
time not long after it reaches the
Grand banks, where it becomes sur
face drift, governed by the Winds

"HUMAN SPIDER" PERFORMS
BEFORE BIG AUDIENCE

The exhibition of "Bin' Strothers.
the human spider" came to an
abrupt end Monday evening when the
fire bell in the tower of the city hall
commenced changing an alarm of fire.
The climber had just reached sec
ond story window and with unusual
presence of mind dispersed the big
crowd that was obstructing the door
way to the fire engine house, permit
ting the fire truck to leave its quar-
ters without delay. The crowd fol-
lowed the fire truck, however, and
the exhibition came to a sudden end.
Previous to scaling the outside of the
city hall, Strothers had climbed up
the corner of the State bank build
ing and balanced on his head on the
cOrnice. A mammoth crowd assem-
bled to witness the performance.

Exnerlence. the Great Teacher.

Observation more than books, eX-
perlence rather than persons, are the
prime educators. Books aid as one
has wit to use them to advantage,
persons most when seeming not to
serve Us. Experience converts us TO
ourselves when books fail us, and this
oftenest against our knowledge and
consent. And it remains question
able how far our attachments further
or hinder natures intentions, the art
of education being still so com
plicated and incalculable matter
that not few of the most striking
characters have been formed, untram-
melcd by our schools under the more
direct and potent influence of life
and things, operating under the
pressure of necessity and seeming ac-
cident.-A. Bronson Alcott.

Copper and Calcium in the Air.

1t is reported that Prof. Hartley of
Dublin has photographed, in ordinary
air, spectroscopic lines due, among
other things to copper and calcium. 1t
is believed that they arise from fine
dust consisting of these substances,
projected into the atmosphere by
road vehicles, and by smoke and the
sparks of trolley wires. 1t is from
the latter that copper is supposed to
come. The quantity Of copper thus
found is excessively slight. Indeed 1t
is only the delicacy of the tests that
renders it appreciable. Lines due to
lead. carbon, iron, manganese, nickel
and magnesium have also been de-
tected, but the quantity of these sub
stances is even less than that of the
calcium and copper, the lines of which
are always prominent in the Spectra'

mireless Storm Warnings.

American marinors are 70 receive
storm warnings by wireless from all
parts of the world under arrangements
perfected by the shipping board with
most of the high-p0wer radio stations
in different countries. Managing agents
and masters of shipping board vessels
were notified that the warnings would
be sent broadcast on schedules fur-
nished by the ships radio operators.
Because of the number of vessels still
on the seas without radio equipment
the warnings are to be passed on from
ships receiving them by other means
when such vessels are sighted.-Scien-
tific American.

WYCLlFFE'S WORK ON BIBLE
Historians Uncertain as TO What
Fart He Actually Took in Trans
lation Into English.

John Wycliffe O335-l3S4), who has
been called the Morning Star of the
reformation translated--Or caused
To be tranSlated--the Bible from the
Nulgate tSt. Jeromes Latin verSion)
INTO English, with the assistance of
Nicholas of Hereford and John Pur-
Vey. Wycliffe and his disciples la
bored at the translation for some ten
or fifteen years. Scholars are not
agreed as to exactly what part Wy
cliife himself took in the literary
work.
1T is known fact" says the En-
cyclopaedia Britannica, that Wyclitfe
proclaimed the Bible as mans SUI
preme spiritual authority, and that he
sought in consequence by every means
in his power to spread the knowledge
OF it among the people, 1t is, there.
fore, in all likelihood due to the zeal of
Wycliffe and his followers that we
owe the two noble Fourteenth century
ranslations of the Bible which tradi-
ton has always associated with his
name, and which are the earliest com
plete renderings that we possess of
the Holy Scriptures into English. The
first of these, the sO-called early YER
sion, was probably completed about
1880, at all events before 1894, the
year of Wycliffe's death. The second,
or later version, being a thorough re-
vision of the first is ascribed to the
year 1888 by Sir Frederic Madden
and Rev. Joshua Forshall in their
edition of these two versions.-Detroit

Bible VS.. Newspaper.

The following statements as to the
relative value of the Bible and the
Sunday paper, were made by a Kan
sas city clergyman: The great ap-
peal in all good newspapers is in
their style of makeup. Their stories
are brief and well told. But no liter.
allure can be compared with the Bible.
There are no stories so we'll or brief
~ told as those in the Bible. The
Bible tells the true facts. Ii Is i'm

example of true literature as long as
we have civilization, while some
newspapers are inclined to color
their news and try to mold public
sentiment into their way OF think
