It is tl dread of all living aimimals, from tihe leopard to the smallest insects. It is their habit to march through tihe forests in a long, regular line, a line about two inches broad, 1141 often several miles inl longth ; all along this liinc are larger ants, who act as ollcors-stand out side the raniks and keep this singular army in order. If they come to a place where there are no trees to shl ter them from the still, whose heat they cannot bear, they immediately build an underground tunnel through which the whole IrIy p1ass inl ColumIns to tho forest beyond. When they grow hunigry, as by a suddon com mand, the long file spread itself through the forest., advancing for ward, atta'ing ud devoutrimg all liv ing things with i fury that is quite irresistible. Tie elopimant and the gorilla fly be fore thei ; the black 1men1 run awly every aiminal that lives in their line of march is chased.

'The first volume of "The I listor. of Eura pe" appeared in 1833, and the sucpr~ssivo years. 'T'lis work achieved an inmense success. It ran through a large number of editions in England, was reprinted in th is couity, and translated iiito renich, Grma, and even Arabic and 11inloostanuue. This well known work is one ofh Ilie most remarkabhle his torical composit ions in existence. The in formation contained in it, imust have t1aken a ha rge number of years in its compilatioi, anl a considmerable charm attaches to it from its entire reliability.

Since the time when the Ancient Mariner told the terrible tilo of tio curse laden ihlip, with her crew of ghastly corpscs,ino more tirill iig story of tho sea has been related than that of the whole ship Diana, that recently drifted into one of the Shietland Is land s.

Ten men, of whom. the captain was one, htv stiil'ened corpses on the deck ; thirty-ive lay helplessly sick, and some dlying ; two ratained suilicient strength to ercep aloft, and the other three crawled feebly about the deck. T'lhe ship was boarded by the island ers, and, as they cli mnbed over th lhul wrks the man at the wheel f'ainteal from excitement ; one of the sick ien died as he lay, Ihis deati being an-. iiouiieed by the i fllow oceipait of' his birtl feebly Imoa ning: "Take awav this dead inan."
