The Curse Of FIannsIs.

At the age of 81 found myself-in-
felix!-remOved to a town possessing
a bleak climate and many wooden man
~ufactories. It was the custom of the
house mothers to buy flannel by the
piece, direct from the factory; red
flannel, hot, thick, felled like a Lap
lander, and the invention Of Lucifer.
Out of this flannel was cut a garment
a continuous, a~ll-embracing garment,
of neuter center in which every child
in that town might have been observz
ed flaming Mephistophelian-like after
the morning bath. A pattern was CIV

clal habits OF ants afford argumcs.ia
which seem conclusive" he Is.
Take first their relations with *
insects. Those between ants and aph.
ides, which have been called ant cows,
are indeed most remarkable. It is not
merely that the ants milk them, tend
them, defend them from attack, some
times protect them by earthen inclos-
ures from too great summer heat, but
over and above all this they collect
the eggs in autumn, keep them
through the winter and plant them
out on their proper plant in the spring
Some Of the root aphides may always
be found in ants nests, but / was
much puzzled years ago by finding in
ants" nests some black eggs, which
obviously were not those of ants.
Eventually I ascertained that they be-
longed to a species of aphis which
lives on the leaves and leaf stalks Of
plants.
These eggs are laid early In Oc-
tober on the food plant of the insect.
They aresof no direct use to the ants,
yet they are not left where they are
laid, exposed to the severity OF the
weather and to manageable dangers,
but are brought into their nests by the
ants and tended by them with the ut
most care through the long winter
months until the following March,
when the young ones arc brought out
and again placed on the young shoots
of the daisy. This GEMS TO me a
most remarkable s of prudence.
Our ants may not perhaps, lay up food
for the winter, but they do more, for
they keep during six months the esgs
which will enable them to produce
food during the following summer, a
case of prudence unexampled in the
animal kindom."
DR.. Forel gives these examples CT
the mental processes of ants: While
success visibly heightens both the au-
dacity and tenacity of the ant will. 1t
IS possible to observe after repeated
failure or in consequence of the sud
den and unexpected attacks of pow
erful enemies, a form Of detection
which may lead to a neglect of the
most important instincts, to cowardly
flight so the devouring OF casting

John Ross was a Scotch Minister
who hourished in the early part Of
the seventeenth century. Tales of
his wonderful deeds are told to this
day in. his former parish Of Blair. At
one time the reverend gentleman
walked to Mause a distance of about
three miles for the purpose of seeing
a certain farmer and if possible in
ducing him to come to church, where
he had never been. He found hinn
fishing In the river and asked to be
allowed to have a cast. Il never lend
my rod to anybody" said the farmer.
"But," replied the minister, Il have
come all the way expressly to e you,

who was a very strong man and had

"AlI right said the minister, and
he gave the farmer such a mauling
that he was glad to give up his rod.
fered to fight for it
But it was different kind OF fishing
that the minister had come for. He
asked the farmer to keep the rod and
conduct him to his house at Mause.
When they arrived the minister said,
"Now, you go on your knees and pray"
telling him hat he would leave till he
did So"
So the farmer fell on his knees and
cried: ooh, Lord, deliver me from
this man" "Stop!" said the minister.
ssThat is very good. hope o may
always be able to do as well. Now,

did. Not long afterward he became a

Shelby--Developmen in the Kelvin
Sunburst oil field the last year has
been of such magnitude that the
states total production showed a pro-

The Cat Greek and Kelvin fields last
December produced a total Of 212,715
barrels, as against 10000 barrels in
December, 1923.
Production in both Cat Creek and
Kevin-Sunburst fell off during De
-cember, owing to severe weather con-
ditions, but the month of December,
1923, also showed to disadvantage in

ago, according to the January esti-
mates just released by J. G. Diamond,
agricultural statistician for the Mon

farms this year is placed by the re-
port at S93,942,OOO, an increase Of
approximately five and a half mil
lien dollars, over the total a year

all from higher valuation of sheep,
which was placed at $26,374,000
