REMEDY
AGAINST ANTS

To get rid Of lawn ants entomolo-
gists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture suggest drench-
ing the nests with boiling water or
pouring in a small quantity Of kero-
sene oil. Similar treatment may be
applied to nests between or beneath
paving stones. Spraying the lawn
With kerosene emulsion or with very
strong soap wash is also recommend
ed. For large ant nests disulphid OF
carbon injected into the nest by
means OF an oil can or a small syr-
inge is recommended to kill tho ants.
The fumes Of disulphid Of carbon
have very disagreeabIe odor and are
in flamable. but they are not injur-
ious to higher animals in the opsn

Oceans. Level. Changed.

II is the belief Of scientists that.
during the glacial period, when the
land was covered with huge coats Of
Ice, the level Of the oceeD was from
100 to 2OU fecr lower than Its lsslnal
level. according to Dr. T. w. Vaughan
Of the United States geological survey.
This belief Is based upon the theory
that what goes up must come down,
and scientists are able to account for
the presence of Ice on the land only
on the superstition that 1t came from
the sea-.
Proof OF this Is found In coral reef
In all parts Of the world. Their posi-
tion indicates that the building wa,
commenced In the shallow waters Of
the then coast line. only to have the.
waters rise. The little animals which
create the reefs kept on building
toward the new level. Many Of the
reefs. II has been observed, have been
built on submarine shelves. and these
are invariably found on coasts which
show signs Of having once heen sub
merged.
