Ants of HimafayaS.

TN the Himalayas, on the side facing
L India, the limit Of perpetual snow
Is about $500 feet higher than in the
Alps. One result of this is that vart-
GUS forms of life are found in the
great Asian mountains at an eleva-
ton that seems extraordinary. Among
these are many species OF ants. which
have been particularly studied by DR..
Forel. Up to nearly 10000 feet the
ants are very abundant. and even at
the elevation of $4,000 feet four
species have been found. and 1t Is
believed that more careful investi-
CATION would show that they exist
even at $4,000 feet or moro. A
unique fact. not found in any other
great mountain range. is that the
Himalayas possess an immense va
riety of local species Of ants. Out
of 116 forms recognized in the Hima
layas, fifty are peculiar to those
mountains.

Regulating Headlights.

~ upon the market device for
keeping the light projected from the
headlight within legal limits. 1t is
described as an all-metal, cellular at

half of the headlight behind the reg
ular glass door. 1t contains more
than nine thousand small metal re-
flectors, constituting approximately
nine square feet of highly polished
rejecting surfaces.
The object OF the "glassless lens"
is to defect those rays which normal
ly rise above the forty-two-inch level
and cauge glare and to project them
instead upon the roadway, where they
are wanted.
The principle Of construction is said
to cause the device to transmit 90 per

China Tea.

COME interesting statistics have
- been gathered with reference to
the great decline in China's tea trade.
From 1878. when tea was first intro
duced into England. until 1887 China
held exclu sively the tea trade Of the
world. Then india began TO enter
tho tea market. The Chinese tea
trade reached high tide in 1885. with
a total export of 30o,oo0.ooo pounds.
In 1884 China furnished about 70 per
cent of the worlds total, india and
Ceylon, Is per cent, and Japan and
Formosa. 10 per cent. But, at last
accounts, when the total consumption
had increased to 644,000.000 pounds,
China contributed only 80 per cent.
India and Ceylon, so per cent, and
Japan and Formcsa. 10 per cent
The decline In China tea Is ascribed
to careless methods of cultivation and
preparation OF the leaf.
