—Sound-produc’.-i—r:g_ants are referred
to by S. E. Peal, in Nature. One kind
of Indian ant gives a series of triple
' sounds, another kind a set of five" or
six, gradually decreasing. The sounds
were made by rasping the horny tip of
the last abdominal' segment .on any
resonant material. such -as thin dry q'
bark, dry’leaves,-etc. -" He also refers
to the tolerably loud percussive “tok-
tok” of Barbee macroceps. _ .
4Fishes absorb‘nourishment as well.
as plants, but in a different way. The
plant drinks in its food through its
roots from the soil and through its
leaves from the air. The fish takes its
food into its stomach, where it is di-
gested and then distributed by 8. won-
derful circulatory process to every part
of the body. The plant lives on gases
and moisture, the fish on solid food.
The fish is a cannibal and swallows his
victims alive. .

———Equal parts of aluminum and cop-
per were fused recently by M. Chate-
lier, and the ingot placed for twenty-
four hours in a. solution of common
salt and lead chloride to dissolve the
uncombined aluminum. No apparent
change could be observed in the ingot,
so it was taken out, washed and dried.
At the end of twelve hours the whole
mass was found reduced to powder
from the spontaneous oxidation of the
alloy. A similar ingot that had been
immersed was found unchanged at the
end of a month.
—-lta.ly’s harvest this year is satisfac-

barley are all good in quality, with a
yield above the average. The rice fields
are promising, as the disease called
risone has been stamped out;’ so are
olives and hemp. The vineyards were
attacked by perenospora, but the dry
July killed the pest, and while the
vintage will be below the average the
quality of the wine will be good.

——-A case of hypnotism in aSyrian
lizard is reported in Nature by W. T.
Van Dyck. When one is caught after
trying to escape if held firmly it falls
into a limp. motionless state, appear-
ing as if dead; but it is simply ina
trance-like state, which may last sever-
.al minutes. The readiest way of in-
ducing the trance is to take the lizard’s
head between one’s thumb and finger,
making gentle pressure upon the an-
gles of the jaw‘ and upon the ear,
though similar pressure on the Sides of
the trunk. just behind the forelegs,
is just about as effective. These facts,

QUEEN ISABELLA.
A Lady and an Autocrat—Gracious“, Gen-
‘ tie and Imperious. I .
Isabella was a lady, she was a. queen.
and, above all, she was an autocrat.
Gracious and gentle in her manner, she
brooked no opposition from prince or
peer, and she soon made it known and
felt throughout Spain that, although
she was the daughter of John ll. and
the sister of Henry IV., her will was
law in Castile. Beautiful, virtuous,
discreet, with that highest expression
of proud dignity that is seen in a pc-
culiar simplicity of manner. with a.
hard he rt and a fair countenance. an.
infiexib 'c will and a mild manner—
something of a' formalist, more of a
bigot—Isabella united muéh that was ,
characteristic of old Castile with not a
little that was characteristic of new
Spain. And if her boldness was inher-
ited from the Cid, her bigotry was be‘
queathed to P‘illip II. -
,No man cai re: 1 the history of the
times without being struck by the
enormous personal influence of Isa-
bella. An accomplished horsewoman,
a tireless traveler. indefatigable in her
attention to business of state, the
queen with her court moved about
from place to place. swift to punish
crime and to encourpgc virtue, boldlv
composing the difficulties and compel-
ling the submission of rival nobles,
frowning upon the laxity of the cler-
. gy, denouncing the heresy of the peo-
ple, and laying a. heavy hand npon
enemies of every degree and evil-
doers of every class. In Andalusia the
unaccustomed and unexpected pres-
ence of the sovereign was everywhere
productive of peace and order. Even
in, the remotest districts of Galicia tlie
royal power was felt. Over fifty fort-
resses, the strongholds of knightly
robbers, were razed to the ground, and
fifteen hundred noble highwaymen
were forced to fly. the kingdom.—

_ The Spread of" Absurd Beliefs 1n.
This Country. -_
Queer Scots, and Doctrines. 'Sprlngln
‘ Up in Almost Every State—-
.Someof the Leading ~
Spirits.
A wave of religious fanaticism seems
the country.
Nearly every day brings to light the
existence of some new, odd ,band of
worshipers with a form of devotion
as strange as it is senseless. While the
rural communities seem to offer the
most fertile fields for absurd religious
sects, the large cities of the country
have not escaped. Already it is rumored
that a branch organization of the.
devil worshipers of Paris has been
formed in New York.“ If this be true
the police of the metropolis will doubt-
less be called upon to squelch ’the
growthjof this shocking form of fanati-
cism before it reaches the proportions
it has now attained in Paris. '
Texas is in possession of aqueer sect,
which. if its beliefs were adopted gen-
erally. would soon bring the end of the
worll in sight. This sect is made up of
thirty-odd women who call themselves
“Sanctificationists.” The little town of
Bolton, in the "Lone Star state, can
claim the glory of sheltering this
worthy band.
Mrs. MoWhirter explained the doc‘
trines of. the sect in this way: “It is
based upon Christian principles. We
believe in Christ and' that He promul-
gated celibacy, and taught that a com-
mon property” terest was right. On
this cooperative system a band of wom-
en fifteeu years ago pooled their assets
and startedafund with which to in-
augurate an independent and self-
supp'orting movement among women.
We have thirty-two members now, and
all of us live in the hotel. which has
been' recently completed. We share
alike our labors and profits. We do
not gain recruits rapidly, for people
do not understand our views. Women
who join us pledge themselves to lead
a life of celibacy, to put their-earnings
intoacommon fund. 'to work and to
obey the rules of the order.”
The sect is conducted on sound busi-
ness principles It now owns one hun-
dred thousand dollars’ worth of prop-
erty and is largely interested in the
commercial affairs of Bolton. Some of
the women who joined Were penniless,
but they were cared for by the others.
Many left husbands and families when
they became members. ~ In a few in-
stances the deserted husbands contrib-
uted to' the support of their wives.
The latter are permitted to be on
friendly terms with their husbands. but
nothing more. If there have been any
backsliders the facts have been kept
All the members are. ardent
suifragists and believe that women
will eventually govern the country.
An Alsatian named Francois Schlader
is rapidly building up a great follow-
ing in New Mexico. This man is en-
tirely different from all of his kind.
He makes no claims, seeks neither
money nor fame. and apparently has
but one desire—that of healing afiiict-
ed humanity. lie is certainly in pos-
session of some rare power. Some
have attributed it to animal magnet-
ism, the more enthusiastic to a. direct
gift from Heaven.
When he first appeared in and about
the town of Albuquerque the educated
people declared him to be a sharper
and impostor. or a lunatic. and he was
threatened with bodily harm. Cures
of the miraculous kind are credited to
him. He is but thirty-nine years old.-
stands about six feet in height and
weighs in the neighborhood of one
hundred and seventy pounds. He
wears neither hat‘nor shoes, no matter
how hot the sun or inclement the
weather. His hair falls upon his
shoulders and he wears a. full golden
brown beard. His strange resemblance
to the picture of Christ, his quiet man-
ner of living and his power as a healer
have had a strong effect upon all who
have met him. . ‘
He is called “The Healer.” It is as-
serted by people who say they wit-
nessed the miracle that he held the
hands of a blind man for five minutes
and sight was restored; that he gently
rubbed the hands of . an old woman
who had been paralyzed for years and
she left a few minutes later as strong
as she was in her youth. Hundreds of
cases .of the kind are cited. The
healer takes no money or gifts for his
work.
Cincinnati has a curious sect in a
band calling themselves “Perfection-
ists.” Mrs. Hannah E. . Martin, the
leader of the Pericctionists, died last
spring. and since May 25 her grave in
the Cincinnati cemetery has, been
watched by dis/ciples, who expect to
witness her resurrection and flight to
Heaven in a chariot of fire.
Stub Ends of Thought.
Success excuses means.
A pretty woman never forgets her-
self.
Dreams of wealth don’t come true as
often as work for it does.
Good intentions never die—which.
may be one reason why they are so
seldom carried out. ' . '
No woman cares to know why she
loves a man. ' .
A wife loves a. new bonnet quite as
well as a husband loves a good dinner.-
A man may pray without ceasing.
but if he doesn’t pay without ceasing,
it won’t amount to much. .

having the best wife' on earth. it is a
good time to watch how he treats her.

NOT SO GREEN AS IT LOOKS.
An Intelligent Parr-ct Takes Revenge and
Breaks Up a Marriage Engagement.
Parrots are all right and very amus-
ing unlessmthey happen to be too in-
telligent. They are charming crea-
tures so long as they will repeat only
what you teach them. .but when they
begin to think for themselves, and to
voice their thoughts, , the 'matter
changes complexion and may end. as
seriously as did an affair at, Stamford,
this state. the other day.
One of the brightest and most at-
tractive young women in that town is
the owner of an unusually precocious
parrot; incidentally. she thought a
great deal of a. young farmer of the
neighborhood, so much, in fact, that
they were betrothed. But this young
farmer has always hated parrots, and
that has been the one sore point be-
:tween him and his promised wife. He
has especially hated the parrot in ques-
tion. and has repeatedly warned the
young lady that the thing was not so
green as it looked, and that it ’would
surely cause trouble between them.
We can easily believe that the bird,
being beloved by his mistress, was al-
ways at hand during these little talks,
and it is as easy to believe that no
well-ordered, intelligent parrot would
‘put up long with such .slighting re-
marks as the young farmer was in the
habit of making. 1f memory serves
aright, the bird did once rebuke. his
mistress’ sweetheart, but very mildly.
simply calling him a “sassy thing.”
On that occasion 'Polly was promptly
punished by his mistress, who snapped
his head with a piece of wlialebone
and covered his cage with paper for an
entire day. This was added insult, but
nothing was to be done except wait
for an opportunity to get even. The
opportunity soon came. ‘
A few nights ago the young farmer
entered the house of his life’s light,
and asked for the flame. She was,
prinking, but would be down in a
short time, and would—Frank try to
make friends with ‘Polly? So Frank
turned, into the room where Polly sat
on his perch munching a racker and
crooning a. jungle ditty. xtracting a
"chocolate caramel from his pocket.
Frank moved toward the cage. There
are tides in the affairs of men : ad like-
wise parrots, and this bright, if green.
pet realized that theflood of his tide
had come. ' ~
"Hello, young hayseedl” he shouted.
There was a moment of intense
silence. Then the cage was struck
to the floor and the room was filled
A mOment
later Polly’s mistress entered the room.
“What is the trouble, Frank?" . ‘
-f:.p“S‘ome one has taught 'this parrot to;
call me a. young hayseed,” answered;
1%—
her lover. flushed and angry, “and .I'
'will not stand it.” j , ' , ‘
”Did you hurt poor Polly?” picking
up the maimed creature.”
“I tried to kill the thing.”
The young "woman‘a vigorously ‘up-.
braided her lover, and hurriedly-slip-
ping her- engagement ring from her
finger and handing it back. said:
“A man who loses his temper on such '
slight provocation cannot be my com-
panion for life. The engagement is
broken and you need not call'again."-—

Birmingham is overrun by rats that
are fed from the sewers. . The aiithori-‘
