TOLD BY EXPLORER
Woman Describes Huge Ant Arm.
les Before Members of Ma.
tional Geographic Society.

Ants in armies so large that COL
umn 4 inches wide took two days to
pass a given point; African tribes in
which member is convicted of mur-
der every time some one dies, and a
penguin island where man is not
feared because he Is mistaken for a
large bird of the same species.
These were among the incidents and
places described last night by Mrs.
Laura Boulton, woman explorer, to
members of the National Geographic
Society in Constitution Hall in her
lecture. Angola, the Gateway to
Africa"
The Portuguese colony of Angola in
Southwestern Africa has some of the
strangest forms of animal and insect
life on the globe, she said, showing
movies of the ant armies.
The penguin colony, she said, is on
Jutten Island, near the Cape of Good
Hope, where she saw two ,ale PEN
gums fight to the death for the love
of a fair lady. who watched the
struggle from her nearby nest. The
birds on the island come from Antarc-
tic waters, she explained. for 10-weck
mating period. Because of their Pc
culiar braying call, they are known
as jackass penguins.
In an interview earlier in the day
Mrs. Boulton told of her closest call. "
Il had a pet crane that the natives
had cauplt for me and used to tie
the rope around its leg to my tent bed
every night" she said. "One morning
the crane was gone. We found the
bones 10 feet outside the tent picked
absolutely clean and there were leop-
ard tracks not a foot from my bed"

CHICAGO GRAIN
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press. :
CHICAGO, March 6.-Influenced by
authoritative announcement that Ger
many's wheat import needs were about
double what they were in December,
wheat values here tended mainly up
ward today.
Giving further impetus to Chicago
that the Buenos Aires market. as well
as the Liverpool market, finished to-
day at quotations outdoing the sea-
sons previous top levels. The Buenos
Aires wheat close showed 112 to "a
cents overnight gain. This circum-
stance emphasized assertions current
here that the peak of heavy shipments
from Argentina has been definitely
passed, Notwithstanding that Argentina
was reported to have chartered vessel
room for 30,0O0.000 bushels of grain
to be exported this month.
Talk was current in some quarters
that the discounts of United States
new crop wheat futures relative to
Liverpool July are so large as to
indicate export business "just around
the corner" There was also trade
gossip that the political situation in
Europe is such that there seems lit
tie chance of a persistent decline in
the price of wheat, even though the
outlook for this country's Winter crop
improves with the advance of Spring.
Helped by these factors, the Chicago
market at some stages showed a rise
of about 11a cents, with May wheat
quoted $1.365s.
Corn, oats and rye climbed with
wheat.
Provisions responded to upturns of
grains.
Around midseason wheat was as-%
higher, compared with yesterdays
finish, May, 1856; July, l.1712, and
corn was NJ up, May, 1884; July,
