A recent epidemic of ants in differ- ^ ent parts of the country is really due to the fact that thrt ants were cele- ^ bratlng their wedding day. remarks the I>ondon Times. They were out on their marriage flight and honeymoon. Oenerallv xpeaking. there are three kinds of ants in this country?the ' workers, the winged males, whose life c Is a short and merry one; and the 1 young queens, who live in charge of E the queen mother. In the summer. I! when the weather is favorable, the a winged males and the young queens a leave the nest for the marriage r flight. The latter race away pursued c by the ardent wooers, who fall in their thousands to enterprising swal- v lows, missing their way and dropping a to rest their tired wings on any ob- '> Ject within reach. But the young 11 queen files on. She is strong of wing. fot her husband must be the best of c the crowd. The crowd of pursuers dwindle from myriads to thousands, 11 fronj thousands to hundreds, to dozens. 11 until at last only one is left. P That was the meaning of the plague of ants. It was the marriage festival. w and the winged ants we saw in our a: gardens were the unlucky crowd of n mourners left behind, trying to find al their way home. On her return to 11 her nfew-chosen nest, the queen spends ^ me anernoon cnewing oit ner wings. 11 Those are now useless, seeing that ai she mui>t no more leave the ant-hill. Henceforward she spends her days furiously laying eggs. S1 t? M-.-.rure cf Laughter. A meter for laughter is the latest invention of commercialized drama. The device registers automatically and in , degree the amount of laughter induced x by moving picture films. It is some ((' invention and its uses should not bo monopolized by the movies. Its one j great function in life is evidently to j chock up the applause and laughter re- ^ ports now found so copiously scattered a, through the columns of the Congres- ' ' sional Record, much to the chagrin of tl blushing veracity. The machine wo ^ really need, however, is ono which reg- l)( isters the spirit of humor and not the i ri] effect. It would save humanity many I weary moments if the Inveterate story { teller could first try "his stuff out on a pi machine instead of his long suffering friends. It would not do, however, to p have this machine around when the H| politicians are making their promises Jfi to their constituency of congenital suckers. / Traffic on the Duna. It is estimated that more than 2,000,000 tons of freight are transported ^ over the Duna each year. Among its tributaries, the Mezha, L'svyat, Kaa- p plya, Ulla, Dlsna and Bolder-aa are also navigable. The Ferestna canal D connects the Duna with tbe Dnieper, thus giving a freight route by water ]( from the Baltic sea, across Europe, t to the Black sea. As Is the general a case with Russian rivers, the Duna abounds In fish, a very delicate t species of salmon being caught in its j riveffl i 8 I t Reptiles Had Chins Like Humint. ? Oddly enough, and for some reason quite unexplained, the nearest resemblance to the human chin Is found In some of-the most ancient reptiles yet discovered?strange and primitive creatures whose remains have been unearthed on the shores of the northern Dwlna. It is not to be Imagined that they could talk, for they had no brains to speak of. Their chlnt which are strikingly humanlike, mun have been meant by nature for some entirely different purpose. FRUGALITY HAS ITS ROMANCE It Is to Be Found In the Practice of Saving Some Part of One's Earnings. There is an injurious idea prevalent among young Americans that pru- ! donee, economy, caution and frugality are among the mean qualities, and this accounts largely for the meretricious pride of spending time and money, just as it partly explains the popularity of so many amiable wastrels. A > "good fellow" may bo not a self condemned fool, but he cannot discredit the truism that a fool and his money arc soon parted, says the Minneapolis Journal. Many of what we have como to call "wants" are desires of the imaglna- ( tlon. or of vanity or of self induleonce. We have drifted into a confusion of the ineahlng and value of happiness as contrasted with pleasure, and are prone to accept ostentation in lieu of the fact and substanco of thrift. The ways of thrift are different from the , ways of parsimony. There is an admirable quality of dig* | nity and simplicity about the frugal t>ut adequate way of living, that emphasizes the vulgarity of extravagance xnd the childish folly of pretended jpulence. There is a savor of gentility ibout the practlco of saving part of >ne's earnings that leads to its own lulet romance, and life itself takes on i calmer, cleaner, swoeter value if we :onserve and cherish at least a porion of its daily offerings. Sensibly regarded, there is nothing 1 lord id about the habit of frugality; 1 >ut there is a squalor and a slovenllios8 about the wastage of time and I he squandering of money that is as < inromantic as any phase of the ' houghtlessly selfish living. And there 1 s, too, a gently humanizing influence ibout the habit of suving that makes 1 or modesty, industry and sympathy? ' hose quiet, homely agencies that go i urthest to stabilize and sweeten life. 1 . VDO TO BEAUTY OF EARTH ; Writer's Tribute to the Tree Is Worthy of Remembrance Throuflhout i the Ages. ] Oh!

A woman of wealth, but who is Der? ertheleso identified with civic work and 1b a practicing lawyer, lately gave a talk before a Pittsburgh mothers' club.

WHY STEEL SHELLS ARE USED Cast Iron Could Not Be Depended On to Do Accurate Work That aj ' Demande 1. ^ ^ ^ . le * The great cost of the shells used in 16 warfare has astounded most persons ' )? who are unfamiliar with such mat- ; ters, and In answer to a correspond- 1 a ent asking why cheaper shells made ' l? of cast iron were not made use of in ' preference to the more expensive steel, the Engineer of London has the fola" lowing: In tho first place, where shrapnel is concerned, the number of ls bullets is reduced because the walls 10 of the projectile must be made thick10 er. There 1b not an objection in highv* explosive shells, which call for walls thicker than 1b necessary for strength, but there is danger of cast iron shells e' doveloping cracks during manufacture, a and them would be a risk of such shells bursting in the gun. Another d objection is- that a casViron shell f? 18 liable to be- inaccurato in its flight. ^ The projectile must be ii? perfect balance with tho walls, not only of the* same thickness all around, but homogeneous. At t&e high speed of revo,y lution, the slight difference in weight 0. on one side would cause Irregular _ y shooting. The steel shell is machined e inside and out, tt> Insure uniformity; ( a bnt if a shell were cast on a cere and < I the core were not; absolutely <toncen- J b trio, the center of gravity would not < j.
