One evening, soon after dinner.
Hiram Bnckworth decided that he

Ginger was not to be distracted by

ensconced or the foot of her bed with

Then she went to (be studio with a
sigh o f relief. There she settled down
to a complete balancing o f her ac

doll’s trunk. She made careful entries
In her bnge ledger.
Her waste basket she found full to
overflowing of discarded letters, little
white angels, which had accompanied
the contributions to >be home. Ginger
was systematic and orderly.
These
angels were to be burned. So with

the other, she made her way carefully
over the narrow beams, and down the
wabbly ladder.
She noted, comfortably, that the
two doors remained closed as she had
left them, and a pleasantly toothing
stillness pervaded the house. Softly
happily, with waste basket and Ian
tern, she slipped around the curve
o f tbs circular staircase and stopped.
She stopped aghast, electrified, spell
bound. For beneath her, before her
very eyes, there lay revealed a scene
whose unutterable disgustingness was
beyond her power o f description.

Scientists Listen to “Conversation” of Ants
T w o scientists o f the University of

ants
A block o f wood was placed upon
the diaphragm o f an ordinary tele
phone transmitter, which In turn
was con n ect»! through batteries and
amplifiers to a pair o f earphones
When the termites crawled over the
block o f wood the transmitter was
agitated, resulting In sound vibrations
which were clearly heard by the 11*
tenors at the headset.
When the ants became excited over
something or other their soldiers were
found to hammer their beads vigor
