the earth around. their dwelling, and had
driven and carried3=,thds» from their port
which were devouring them. In ' short, I
had become very much interested in and
quite attached to this colony, hntl was pow-
erless to aid them now. I couldonly look
on in wonder and astonishment. -
A; ynrd or more around the feet of the
tree the battle was raging, and no place
'for' the sole of my foot without crushing
the combatants. I found in every instance
a red ant pitted against a black; sometimes
two red ones against one black, in which
case the black was. soon dispatched. For
three-“hours I__ switched the ' conflict; all
aroundine the combatants locked in a close
embrace, rolling and tumbling about, never
separating until one was killed,.and often
the deed victim had fastened with sofirm
: a held. on his adversary that it was with the
utmost'difficulty‘ that he could free himself
from his death-grip.
.The sun went down, and the gathering
darkness compelled me.to leave my post of
observation,butas long as Icould, see, the
2 conflict was as fierce as when I first beheld
it. I now picked up several of the warriors,

about them in an excited manner, with his

his opportunity 'to‘fasten them on the black;

in two; but the dying black does nbt relax
his hold of the first antagonist, and they die
tdgether. -
'.I now leave the fierce combatants for the
night. In the morning I find that every
black is killed, and four red soldiers are
dead, and two other can not long survive.

surviving heroes; to find the water and

The struggle is over—not a black to be seen,
but a column of the red invaders are emerg-
ing rrom a large'cavity that leads to' the
numerous galleries and under-ground cham-
bers of these. industrious blacks, and each
invader is carrying a lava or pupa, I'fol-
low the column,“ which is from four to five
inches in width, to the nest of red ants
before mentioned. There is a wide opening
in the side of this nest, down which they
all gdisappear and leave their burdens, and

carefully, and drop it‘on being disturbed.
But? what does this menu ? Every little
while a red warrior comes out with a black
bundle, which he carries as carefully as he
:does' the pupa or larva. I stop him to in-
quire into the matter; he drops his bundle,
which immediately unrolls, and lo! it is a
lively black ant, apparently uullui't, and,
to my eye, no way different from the
wdrrior with whom he was so fiercely
fighting. - ,
Thebooks which I have read on the sub-
» jcct informs uic “tile red ants carry the
pupae and larvae of - the blacks to their nest,
where they rear them for slaves, but they
never capture the adult ant, for it Would
but stay in the new home if' they did.”
But lithe-re ants certainly carried a great
number of adults blacks to their nest, and
I umduitesurc they did not run away, but
staid and helped to nurse and feed the fame.
I capture several of the ’red marnuders with
their victims, and place them under the
glass. The reds now pay no attention to
the blacks, but simply try to make their
escape. I take lame and lay them. on a
leaf, and put them under the glass also, and
place moistoned sugar in their reach. Very
soon the blacks are feeding the helpless

[From 0. T. Campbell's Lecture nt_ Maysficld,ky,]
Some one; asks how the bar-rooms can be
closed. "Bar-rooms are not kept for amuse-
ment. There is not alman in the State who
would keep a bar if there was no hopes for
aprofit. Liat every man who has brains
enough to attend to his own business de-
termine not to drink at a, bar, and the bar-
room will soon be'closed. Men~ who are
ashamed of their habits of drinking, and
who must have a screen to hide them, will
not often have an opportunity to. drink
elsewhere, and one great step in the tem-
perance reform will have been taken.
Barkeepers in this city, pay, on an aver-
838; $2 per gallon for whiskey. One gallon
contains an average of fifty-five drinks, and
at ten cents a drink, the poor man pays
$6.50 per gallon for his whisky. In other
words he pays $2 for the whisky and $4.50
to a man for handing it over the bar. While
it would be better for all not to drink, some
men will have whisky, and my advice to
them is this: Make your wife your bar-
keeper. Lend her $2 to buy a gallon of
whisky for a beginning. and every time you
want a drink go to her and pay ten cents
for it. By the time you have drank a
gallon she will have $6.50, or enough money
to refund the $2 borrowed of ' you, to pay
for another gallon of liquor, and have a
balance of ‘ $250. She will be able to con-
duct future operations on her own capital,
and when you become an inebriate, unable
to support yourself, shunned and despised
by respectable people, your wife will have
enough money to keep you until you get
ready to fill a druukard's grave. But had
you paid all this money to a barkeeper, he
would not have given a cent to bury you,
oracrust of bread to keep your children
from starving. 3
Few people ever stop to calculate the
cost of drum drinking, At ten cents per
drink, one drink per day will cost $73,
.three drinks $109.50, and four drinks $146
per year. A man came to me the other day
to pay the interest on a note for $100 I hold
against him. Said he, “I only receive $600
’a year, and with a family to support I am
not able to pay my debts." I asked him to
taken pencil to make a slight calculation
for me, and then asked him how often he
drank at a bar. His average was three
drinks per day, which, by his own calcu-
lation, amounted to 109.50, or enough to
have both principal and interest of the note,
and have $1.50 left. He was astonished, nt
this discovery, and is nowdeterminel never
to drink at a bar again. '
About storms.
Benjamin Franklin first made the obser-
vation, a hundred years age, that all our
so-called “northeast storms" came from the
West. This observation of our greatest
philosopher has been since so absolutely
verified as to constitute a law. All great
storms in this country move from the West
in a generally easterly direction—usually a
little to the north or east. Nearly all of
them originate in that section of the country
marked on the maps as “the great Western
plains"-the high tableland between the
meridian of 95 degrees on the east, and the
the Rocky Mountaius'on the west com-
prising the area occupied by Montana,
Dakota, Nebraska, Western Kansas,.Indisn
Territory, New Mexico, Western Texas, and
Northern Mexico. The origin of‘a storm in
this region may be stated as follows: The
air overa large sandy area becoming rare-
fied by, the intense heat of the sun's rays,
and rapid radiation from the sandy surface
begins to ascend; the moisture laden air
from the Missouri and Mississippi valleys
and the Gulf of Mexico on the one hand
and thecold current from the Rocky Moun-
tains oil the 'other, rush in to:tha place of
that which is ascending. We have thus
produced an easterly wind ou‘ the front or
eastern side of the area of ascending air,
and a westerly wind behind, or on the
western side of it; to the south, north and
intermediate points the 'wind will blow
towards the centre from those points. The
wind blows from all points around this area,
toward the centre. Now, if the earth were
flat and at rest, and the air over this sandy
area equally heated, the wind would blow
in straight lines from the circumference
toward the centre. ascend and spread out
at the top; there would be no motion for-
ward or backward of the whole body of air
and this condition of things might exist
forever. But, owing to the configuration
and motion of the earth, and the laws of
heat, and its influence in evaporation and
condonsation,’ a cllaugeis soon impressed
on this inital upward and centric illusion of
the air, and the collection of phenomena
which we term a. storm rcdlliiS.—1!]Z.

In Gallignuui's Messenger. is printed an ill-
tcresting account of some experiments lllude
by M. Lucerdn all RioJauoro concerning the
action of the venom of the rattlesnake.
Hitherto, the general belief has been that
the poisonous llzuttcr secreted by certain
species of reptiles was nothing more than a'
poisonous saliva, acting in the mariner of
soluble fornicate. the investigations, how-
ever, show that the niutlcr in question con-
tains what is called figured ferment, the
analogy,“ which with baclcridcs is very
remarkable. From a young and vigorous
crotalus, subjected to the action of chloro-
form, heobtained a drop of the venom on a
chemically clean piece of glass, and at once
placed it under a microscope. Almost im-
mediately he observed the formation of a
filamentous pulp in an aborescent disposition.
Gradually the thickened filament, after hav-
ing pushed out spores, dissolved and disap-
peared, and liberated spores swelled and
enlarged visibly, each of them sending cut
a minute tube, which lengthened rapidly.
After a very short period the latter separat-'
ed from the first spore aud conltltuted
another nucleus for engenderlng the deadly
contamina'tion. In the examination of the
blood. of animals killed by the bite of one
of those snakes, M. Lacerda noticed that
the red globules of the blood commenced
by presenting some small brilliant points on
the surface which‘ spread with great rs»
pidity, and ultimately the globules melted
one into the other, forming a sort of amor-
phous paste,-which could no longer circulate
in the veins. Other animsls, in whichthat
blood was iniected immediately after the
death of the first, expired in a few hours
presenting all the symptoms of having them-
selves been bitten, and their blood always
showed the same, alteration. M. Lacerda
concludes by stating that numerous experi-
iments have shown that the true antidote
for serpent poisoning is theinjection under
the skin of alcohol, or its administration by
the‘ mouth.
Assisi. Tansonsrnv.-—Professor Loomis,
of Washington, appears to be still enthusias-
tically carrying on his experiments in aerial
telegraphy in West Virginia. Aerial tele
graphy is based on the theory that at certain
elevations there is a natural electric current,
by taking advantage of which wires may be
wholly dispensed with. It is said that he
has telegraphed as far as eleven .miles by
means of kites flown with copper wire.
When the kites reached the same altitude or
got into the same current, communicatibn by
means of an instrument similar to the Morse
instrument was easy and perfect, but ceased
as soon as one of the kites was lowered. He
has built towers on two bills about twenty
miles apart, and from the tops of them run
steel rods into the region of the electric cur-
rent. The Professor announces that he has
recently discovered that the telephone can be
used for this method of communication as-
well as telegraphic instruments, and that of
late he has done all his talking with his as-
sistant, twenty miles away, by telephone, the
connection being aerial only. He claims that
he can telegraph across the'sea without other
wires than those necessary to reach the'ele-
vation of the current. There seems no im-~
mediate probability, however, of our getting
on without poles and wire and ocean cables.

PRETTY, AND POSISBLY Tuna—A pretty
story is told in St. Petersburg. A govern-
ment-functionary living in the Outskirts of
the capital died a few days ago in utter
destitution, leaving behind him, motheriess
and without friends or relations, two little
children,‘one a boy of 7 and the other a girl
of 3. Left in the house alone, without money
or food, the boy did not know what to do to
get bread for his sister. At last, urgcd'by the
little one’s tears, he wrote on apiece of paper,
“Please, God, send me three copecks (a
penny) to buy my little sister a roll," and
went to the nearest church to slip it into an
aims-box, believing, in his simplicity, that
the prayer would reach Heaven through this
medium. A priest passing by observed the ‘
child on tip toe trying to thrust the paper in,
and, taking the paper from him, read the
message. Returning home with the child,
he took the little ones to his house and gave
them food and clothing that they so 'much
needed. The following Sunday he preached
a sermon on charity, in which he referred to
the incident, and afterward went round the
church with a plate. When the oerriugs
were counted it was found that the congrega-
tion had given 1,500 rubles, or nearly $1,-
000. I
A Mother’s Influence.
The late Thomas H. Benton, who was so
long in public life and surrounded by tempta-
liOD: paid the following tribute to his
mother. She asked me never to use tobacco,
and I never touched it from that time to
the present day; she asked me not to game
andIhave not; and I cannot tell who is
winning to who is losing. She admonished
me, too, against hard drinking, and what-
ever usefulness I may attain in life, I attrib-
ute it to having complied with her pious and
correct wishes. When I was seven years of
age she asked me not to drink. and then I
madea resolution of total abstinence, at a
time when I was sole constitute memberof
my whole body and that I adhered to it
through all time I owe it to my mother. 3

Some interesting facts were given not long
ago in a letter to the London Times in rela-
tion to the power of American competition
in certain directions. It was discovered that
all the locks on a building erected for the
British war office were of American manu-
facture. The contractor on being questioned,
said that he could buy locks cheaper in
‘ this country than abhome'; that the freight
upon them was less from America than
from the place of manufacture 'in England;
and that the locks he bought were better
constructed and made according to the
contractor's design, whereas the British
makers would not conform to his plans.
This contractor proceeded to give other
examples of the success Americans were
achieving by their use of machinery. and
their willingness to obey the wishes of
customers. The most surprising of' all is
also in relation to looks. The contractor
has supplied a hospital at Walsall with
looks from the United States, 3,500 miles
away, the hospital being within a stone's
throw of where locks are made.
Ammonia—Perhaps the most com-
plete metamorphosis of the character and
associations connected with any substance
in nature is found in thulelicate' toilet per-
fume, ambergris, which naturalists tell us is
nothing else than the result of a fit of indi-
gestion on the part of the sperm whale,being,
in fact, a kind of intestinal calculus or por-
tion of the whale imperfectly digested.
Foxes have a great partiality for ambergris,
and congregate on sea-coast in search of it.
They out if, and return it in exactly the same
state as it was swallowed, in respect to per-
fume, though changed in color. This is the
white ilmbcrgris so highly valued. Thus,
after passing through the digestive organs of
two animals, it retains its delicate and subtle
perfume, which rivals that at the fairest
flowers, and also retains its value for tile
toilet.—J. C. Board, in Harper’s Magazine
for February. '
POLIGAMY AND Ponulncn.— -When we
made an excursion in Southern Utah not long
ago, we were hospitably entertained by the
Mormon bishop at Richfield. He was a
Scotch-nan, and had been brought up a rigid
Presbyterian. “Ah, well," said he, “they
think ill of me at home for changing my re-
ligion; but there was my brother Aleck who
took it most to heart. He was on his way
last year to California, and turned off the
road a bit to see me, and to try to bring‘me
back into the fold. When he got here he
spent the whole evening in lecturing me, and
then went to bed. In the morning I gave
him the best breakfast the country would
afford—coffee and rolls, trout, beef, and ven-
ison steak, and such‘ like. Poor ,Aleck! he
looked all over the table, and then turned
upon me his sorrowful face, blurting out,
‘Oh, Jamie, man! Jamie, monl did I ever
think it would come to this? I could hne for
gien ye a’ yer poleegamy, but hae ye gum up
yer parrz'tch l" ”—Enrron‘s DRAWER in Har-
per's Magazine for February.

hair twisted on the back of her head like a

"Meat me to-uight beef-fore quarter to

"Oh, dough-nut ask if,” said she.
“I make no bones about it,” said he.
“You’re not well bread,” said she.
“Only sweet bread," said he.
“Don’t egg me on,” she said.
“I never sausage is girlr Don’t keep me on

“Pork-quoi?” asked he.
“Oh. knead I say?" asked she.
“.That don’t suet me," said he. .
“ You're crusty. I only wanted to cracker

“You gave me n cut—the cold shoulder,"

“All, you don’t 1an me!" sighed she.
“Veal see. I’ll cleave to you and no mis-

How VANDERBIL'I‘ BOUGHT ma HERALD.—
He was a young man—a blonde. He enter-
ed the ofilce of an uptown merchant the other
day, and said a timid “good morning." The
merchant responded gruflly.
“DO you know," said the young man soft-
ly, “that Vanderbilt has . bought the Ear-
ald .9 ” '
“The devil! Is that so ? ”
“’Tis leact," answered the young man.
“W. H. Vanderbilt bought the Herald? "
muttered the merchant, laying down his pen.
“Fact 1 I assure you,” murmured the young '
man as he moved toward the door.
“Stop 1 ” cried the merchant. “How much
did he pay for it P ” .
"Three cents! ” replied the young man, as
he softly closed the door after him.—N.. Y.
