ANTS OVERRUN LOVELY ISLE

Pests From Argentina Have Complete-: ly Wiped Out Bird Life in Madeira ~—Spread Plant Disease.

L. R. Lefroy, lecturing at the British Royal institute the other day, mentioned that the Argentine ant has spread over half the world since 1897. . He gave an example of the mischief wrought by the ant in the fact’that it has completely wiped, out the birds of Madeira by eating their nestlings.

Only those who have lived “in a country overrun by ants know. the full horror of it. mae e :

‘The housekeeper must reckon, as a necessity of annual expenditure, carbolic acid, petroleum and other protectives .against the all-pervading insects, i : Every table, every bed, must stand with its legs in little tins of petroleum, or the ants will swarm up. : Mothers anxiously visit the cradles of their babies to see that no bedclothes are touching the floor, or a black string of ants will be seen hurrying up the “bridge” at once. You can never leave any article of food unprotected anywhere in Madeira, or it would be swarming with’ ants in a few minutes. : g

~ The ants have not only introduced into Madeira the greenfly, which all the world knows. they “milk?” like cows, but they have also brought with them the horrible plant diseases of scale and black rust.

These have killed off many orange and coffee trees, and the pomegranate has completely disappeared from the island, e L

But even this devastating insect has one good quality. The ant is an excellent scavenger. £y

NOT THE PHILOSOPHER’S IDEA

Small Girl Gave Peculiar Twist |to Proverb That Some of Us J May Remember. v

‘A Philadelphia school teacher was quoting to her pupils the sayings of various wise men touching the value of silence on certain occasjons, when she gave them the proverb to the effect that we have one mouth and two ears, in order that we may listen twice as much as we speak, : ‘ A day or so after the instruction,

the teacher, to see how well the les-

gon had been learnled, asked a girl pupil the question, as above, , “Little Lulu had forgotten the philosopherz}nmaxim; but the question did not s a difficult one to answer:.

“Because,” Fhe said, “we should not have room in our face for two mouths, and we ,sh"‘oul’h look too crooked if we had only one ear.” e : “No, Lulu,” said the teacher, “that is not the reason. Perhaps Marie can tell us” : ; . '

“Yessum,” said Marie, “it’s that way so we can let what we hear go in at one ear and out at the other!”"—Philadelphia Ledger. S

Great Britain Bars Feathers.

No more feathers can enter Great Britain now that the plumage prohibition bill is in force. Women who have feathers in their hats are the envy of their friends and osprey feathers, bird of paradise plumes, and all kinds of fans will shortly be worth their weight in five-pound notes. African ostriches and eider ducks are the only exceptions to the law, as the plumage of both species can be obtained without eruelty while they are moulting. The new law does not apply to. passengers coming into the country with feathers &s part of their personal apparel. Birds of paradise recently have been killed at the rate of 30,000 a year in full breeding plumage, and as many as 300,000 albatrosses were killed in one rald in the Pacific. Florida has been swept clean of egrets, whole colonles of these birds having been butchered at the breeding season to obtain the feathers sometimes known as “ospreys.”

Are the-Pleiadegeßimmer? The question presents itself whether three stars of the constellation of the Pleiades have less brilliancy than formerly, or whether prehistoric man had a better sight.than ours, or if he was wont to climb up the mountains to examine the nearest stars,.or if the atmosphere of past ages was purer than ours? : ; D

This problem arises from the *fact that we see from below only seven of the stars of the Pleiades and that the last-three stars can only be seen by ascending tq the highest summits, while there have just been discoveréd stones dating from prehistoric times upon which the ten stars are engraved. This interesting question in astronomy and archeology has been broached to the French Academy of Sclences by N-Bigoprdan.. B B

BUILDERS GUIDED BY MODEL

Ingenious Method Employed in the Construction of. Hydro-eiectric Plant in Switzerland. i

In planning the mixing and chuting plant for the construction of the barrage de barberine, a hydro-electric development in Switzerland, it was found that many -oof the engineering difficulties would be solved through.building an exact model of the site and then erecting the plant to scale. A contour map ‘had fortunately- been furnished the American firm, and with this as a guide the contour of the ground was reproduced in clay. - Then the towers, guy lines, cables and chutes were all built to scale and placed in the exaet positions that they were destined to oecupy. - ' :

Wien this ' model was finished it helped wonderfully in solving the problems that had puzzled the draftsmen. The clearance required by a cableway, the location of the guy lines, the use of single or double guy linés, the bracing of the towers—fhese and ‘many other ipolng were made _clear through the use Of the accurate model. There wys also the satisfaction of knowing that when the plant was finally installed the layout would be correct and the plant would function properly.—George F. Paul, in Scientific American.

Formality.

John Smith, the furnace man, was extremely proud of his garden. The lady of the house had long listened to beautiful descriptions of it from John, always followed by cordial invitattons to come and see for herself. Although not -especially fond of searching feor beets In ‘their native habitat, John seemed to feel hurt when she. never came to see his’pride and joy. So the lady of the house ventured forth one day and went to see John’s prize vegetables. :

- When the tour was over the lady of the house went into.the ‘parlor to:be entertalned by John’s wife and sample her cake. John had offered some grapes fresh from the garden, and when he came in with his basket overflowing with purple grapes, the lady of the house said: “Oh, what wonderful grapes! Thank you so much, John!”

“John?’ repeated Mrs. Smith, Indignantly - drawing herself up to full height, “I glways call my husband Mr. Smith !”—Chicago Journal, :
