A Jury' nn a Htrtko.
The most remarkable case In Texan
legal history was tried recently at
Oakland lefore Justice Engliah Mrs.
KUa llalloway vs. J. II. Van Alatyne,
says a lloiiNton correspondent of the
St. Iyouis (ilohe-DemiK-rat. The case
eousumed the day and was given to
the Jury at night. He fore retiring the
Jury demanded that each man be paid
his fifty-cent fee. I he Justice do
murred and ordered them to bring a
verdict or they would get no fee. The
jury retired and in fifteen minutes en
tered court. They had a sealed verdict.
liefore turning it over to the Justice the
jury struck for their hard-earned fees.
Under protest the Justice gave each
juror fifty cents, lie opened the verdict.
which read: "The Jury cannot agree."
rhis enraged the court. He demanded
the flftv cent each juror had been
paid. The jury refused and the court
ordered them locked up until a verdict
was given pro or con. After being out
another hour the Jury reported that
they were still unable to airree. Judge
Kngllah then demanded the return of
the fees. The jurors refused to sur
render and a fine of two dollars and
fifty rente each was aaneaned and their
Incarceration ordered. A compromise
waa finally reached by four of the jury
returning the fees and the other two
paying the fine of two dollars and fifty
rente. The higher courts will be ia
flic ted with the cane.

AN I S IN FLORIDA.
More of Them There Than In Any Other
Fart of the World.
There are more ants to the square
mile in Florida than in any other coun
try in the world, says a writer in the
Savannah News. There are ants which
will measure more than half an inch
in length, and then there are ants so
small that they can scarcely be seen to
move with the unaided eye. There are
red ants and black ants, and trouble
some ants. But as bad as they are, I
have never heard of them eatinsr out
the seat of a man's trousers, as a mis
sionary, Rev. Mr. Wilson, once told the
writer he saw the army ants do in India
while the man was sitting on the earth
for a few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants will take out
the lettuce and other minute seeds
from the soil in which they are planted
and actually destroy the bed. Thev
will suck the life out of acres of young
cucumbers and melon plants, uproot
strawberry plants or cover the buds
with earth to such an extent as to kill
them. They will get into pie, pickle,
sauoA, sirup, sugar, on meat, in hash,
will riddle a cake or fill a loaf of
baker's bread till it is worthless. All
remedies failing, I took to baiting
them near their nests with slices of
meat, bones, apple and pear parings,
and when I had from fifty to one
hundred thousand out turned a kettle
of boiling water on them. I have
killed in one week over one million
1 iL 4 . l . a
iu nie space oi a quarter acre lot, ana
U have aim0st wiped them out. i had to
and many unobservant farmers com
plain of seedsmen when they should at
tribute their troubles to insects.
It is very curious and instructive to
see how promptly the ants which es
cape the scalding will go to work
taking out the dead, and, after piling
them outside first, then go to excavat
ing again and rebuilding their cells
and runways. 'This being done very
quickly the next work on hand is the
laying in of a supply of food, by haul
ing the dead bodies of the hot-water
victims into their storehouses. You
may Bee a small black ant hauling and
tugging at the carcass of a red ant
twenty times its own weight, and ho
always succeeds, in the end, in land
ing it in the warehouse of the colony.
Next you may see a sort of umlmlauce
corps searching for the disabled. Those
are taken carefully to the underground
house, where the surgeons and nurses
are in waiting. Then, too, you may
see the timekeepers and bosses direct
ing this one, or turning another back
on some errand or to some other duty.
There is not a moment's delay, no halt
ing feet, no idle hands, but all move as
if it was their last duy on earth, and
this was the only hour left in which to
redeem a mlKapent life. For lessons in,
industry and perfect government go to
the ants.

AC60LUJTEEY PURE
CUNNING OF CROCODILES.
They Escape the Met Spread for Them kg
Burrowing In the Mud. I
The following is a fair sample of how '
cunningly crocodiles, in common with
all other wild animals, can conceal
themselves in moments of danger, says
the Westminster Gazette. After a
happy week spent in the jungle with
a friend of mine we halted for break
fast, before making the- last stage for
headquarters and home, at a place
called Poonarhyn Anglice, garden of
flowers and while at breakfast were
amused by watching a number of croc
odiles, about eight or ten, sunning
themselves on the surface of a small
lake, or tank, as it is there called, of
about an acre in extent. A sudden
thought struck me.
"I say, Murray, what fun it would be
to try and catch some of these beggars
in a net" "Uravol" said he. "Let's
try it presently. Appu, send the horse
keeper to the village and tell him to
bring up all the men he can find and
some long Aching nets. We will give
a good santo8um" (present).
The villagers scented some fun, and
with the further stimulus of a santo
Bum veiy soon turned up to the num
ber of thirty. It was now eleven o'clock
and scorching hot, the air quivering
over the bare, sandy plain in which
the poud was situated. It was breast
deep, as we knew, including about one
foot cr eighteen inches of heavy mud.
We tied two nets together so as to
make one long enough to reach across
the tank, about thirty yards, and this
was heavily weighted along the bot
tom and arranged to be drawn with
long ropes from each shore.
immediately behind the net came a
line, and men about a yard apart, with
long, pointed poles with which to prod
the, mud along the bottom of the net,
and so drive the malingering gentle
men into proper position In front of
the net. Mv friend and his servant
(for all entered Into the sport) fol
lowed close up to the second line.
At it wc all now went, splashing,
shouting, stamping and hauling, but
a big but not a sign did we find of a
single one of the brutes that we had
seen before tin when we came to the
edge of the water. We dragged thnt
water backward and forward more
than onee, but our only reward was
deadly thirst thut lusted us till late
that night.
They hail burrowed deeper into the
mud than wc could reach them, for
nothing I doubt if even a rat could
have osoiip.-'l unseen out of the water.

ISSUING NEW BONDS.
The Work Is a Complicated One and la
volvee a Great Deal of Labor. i
The business of issuing a new set of
bonds is a matter of some moment to
the oflicials of the treasury depart
ment, because it involves a great deal
of labor in the bureau of engraving
and printing, in the registrar's office
and in the treasurer's office. It takes
some time for the bureau of engraving :
and printing to get out an issue of
bonds. The engraving is a slow proc
ess, Bays the Washington Star. ' Then
the paper muBt be prepared. The is
sue of renewal bonds in 1891 was
printed on paper ten years old, which
was lying in the vaults of the bureau.
It had to be taken out and wet down,
and it was not ready for use for ten .
days. Bonds go through the presses
three times. First the tint is printed
on the face of them. Then the form
on the front is printed in black, and
then the form on the back is printed,
also in black. These bonds were
printed from plates which were made
in 1876. The bond issue of 1891 was a
reissue of the bonds of 1870; so the
bonds were printed alike. It is aston
ishing how little wear there is on the
tempered steel plates from which
bonds are printed. Hut this is not .
more remarkable than tho process of
freshening the plate which has been
worn a little. If a bond plate looks
at all dull under the microscope It is
put in the transfer press and the cylin
ders with which the design was cut in
to it are rolled over it again.
Anyone who has seen the fine hair
lines in tho engraving of a bunk note
or a greenback will appreciate the
marvelous accuracy of a machine which
can he adjusted so thut the original
cylinder, passing over the engraved
plate seven or eight years ufter the
original engraviug, will cut again into
the same lines and simply deepen the
impression. Tho variation of a thou
sandth part of an Inch iu the adjust
ment of tho cylinder would blur the
plate and ruin it. The cost of trans
ferring from the cylinders alone is
about fifty dollars a plute, and that
feature of the preparation of tho bond
Icsne would cost the government fully
three thousand dollars. The cost of
engraving and printing would bring
the expense of issuing a new series of
bonds up to about fifteen thousund dol
lars. The registered bond Is about
fourteen inches long by six Indie
wide. The old coupon bond wait
eighteen by twenty-four laches. Thla
was the size of the four per cent, bond
which was to run thirty year with in
terest payable every three months, ami
which Ixire one hundred and twenty
coupons. In the issue of coupon ls.ii'ls
the Mgiuitiirc of the register of tho
treasury Is engraved on tho coupon'.
It would be liupossil le for the regish r
to sign one hundred and t u cnty cou
pons on each bond. In some of the
heavy Issues of bonds the signature Iu
the ImhIv of the bond ha been en
graved. ISut all of the registered bond
are signed by the register or bin depu
