THE ANTS TALKED.
How a Matarallu Proved They Cobtt4
with Each Other.
It Is becoming; the general belief
among naturalists that all living crea
tures have some communication with
each other, it least to the extent of
making their wants, fears, etc., known
to others of. their species. A writer on
ants recently investigated the matter
as far as those interesting little insects
are concerned. lie saw a drove of
i ants of a small Hack variety, which
were apparently moving to new quar
ters, those going in a certain direction
all carrying eggs or sick and hclplcs.
relatives, while those moving in the
opposite direction appeared to hav
just deposited their burdens and to be
returninjr for another load of "house
hold effects."
They were probably pretty we.l
along with their work, judging by
the leisurely way In which they
would frequently put their heads
together, as though chatting about
their new quarters, or some other
interesting subject It being n
question in the natural'st's mind
whether tbey were really talking or
not, he hit on the expedient of murder
ing one of their number to see if the
others would run and tell what had
happened. He says: "The rye-witnesses
of the murder hastened away and
laid their heads together with every ant
they met, whereupon all would turn
and scamper away. ... No mora
ants passed along that path during the
day."
GUNPOWDER IN EARLY DAYS.
Was Poalbly Cd In Warfare Uefore tha
Beginning of Ulatory.
People outside of military life whr
have no connection with the making oj
gunpowder know it only as a coarse
black powder like black sand, which
will flash off with a loud report if shut
up in a case of any kind, and set on fire.
It is a very queer mixture, made up of
three simple and well-known sub
stances, no one of which will explode,
although two will burn, says Lieut.
John M.Ellicott in St. Nicholas. Nobody
knows when or bow it was discovered,
for as far back into the dark ages as
records or tradition will carry us, we
find that gunpowder, though not used
for guns, was known. It was, no doubt,
looked upon with awe and fear by the
ancients on account of its flame, its
no:se, and its rending force; but tiheir
limited mechanical skill could suggest
very little use for it.
Possibly it was used in warfare long
before the beginning of history; butth
first man in historical times to form oji
idea of the terrible destruction which
this awful, bursting, fiery substance
miht produce was an English monk
named Iloger Bacon. Monks, in his
day, were the chemists, scholars and
writers of the world; and this Roger
llacon traveled and studied much, and
made continual experiments in his
laboratory to prove, for himself and to
develop what he learned from others.
He probably saw gunpowder among
the Moors in Spain, and tried for him
self its explosive effect. Then he wrote
of its coniosition in the year 12G7, and
n his writing suggested that it could
be used in engines of war to deal death
nnd destruction to armies of men.
Soon after Roger Bacon's time his
suggestions were taken up and guns
ere constructed first by binding iron
:nrs together with hoops to form a
tube, then by casting a tube out of
brass, with one end closed. Stones of
suitable size were selected as shot, nnd
the powder had to be carried around
in chests or barrels and shoveled into
the muzzles of the guns, the stones be-
ing rolled in after it. In spite of these
drawbacks very large guns werebu'lt,
for there was one used by Mahomet It,
against the (reeks at the siege of Con-
stantinople in 1433 which threw a stone
w eighing 000 pounds a distance of one
mile.
RELICS k,.,ArlTHED,

fitudcuta of antiquity at Harvard col
lege and many everyday philosophers

On the site of some of the old build

are uatiiy discolored from age and ex

KNOWN BIRD.
Prof. f. G.
Beley Telia of It In a Beeent
Pabllratlon.
The Solenhofen elate of Bavaria,"
writes Prof. H. G. Seely in his recent
little volume, "The Story of the Earth
in Past Ages," "makes known numer
ous insects and other forms of terres
trial life of thU period, including the ,
oldest known bird. j
"A bird is known by its feathers;
though there is no reason why the cov
ering to the skin should not be as vari- ;
able in this group of animals as among I
reptiles or mammals. It is, therefore, I
rcmarlrable that the oldest-known ;
bird, the archaeopteryx, has feathers as
well developed as in the existing repre
sentatives of the class and similarly ar
ranged. The animal is an elegant,
slender bird, which is chiefly remark
able for showing teeth in the jaws.
About 12, short and conical, occur on
each side of the upper jaw.
"The bird was larger than the robin
in its body and had a tail of which
there vfas a bony core some six inches in
length. The wings were quite as well
developed as the legs and there are
some evidences that the former could
be applied to the ground as are the fore
legs of quadrupeds, although the feath
ers show the wings to have been con
structed on the same plan as the birds
of tu-.ay.
"The Polenhofen stone, in which so
many of the remains of fishes, reptiles
and insects are found, is the same as
that used for lithographic purposes,
being of exceeding close texture and
of remarkable smoothness when pre
pared for its work."
SHE WAS SHY ONE TURK.
Protest of an Audience Against Bern
hardt' Loks of a Servant.
Sarah Bernhardt was once playing at
Marseilles in a spectacular play in
which she made her entree accom
panied by six Turkish slaves. A line
on the prosramme announced that
these six Turks would accompany
Mme. Bernhardt, but when the time
came for them to go on one of the
youngsters had disappeared. Sarah
mustered the five in order, says the
New York Evening Sun, and made her
entrance with a grand flourish. The
house was crowded, but not a handclap
greeted her as she appeared. Then a
still, small voice m the gallery mur
mured something in an indignant tone.
Fifty voices immediately took up the
strain, and in ten seconds more the
wnoie nouse was snouting the same
phrase. Bernhardt strained every
nerve to catch what they were com
plaining about. She knew the phrase
began with "Manque," but the rest of
it was lost in the general hubbub.
For a full minute the tumult continued.
Then Sarah, muttering things below
her breath, rushed like a fury down to
the footlights. In the front row the
actress had spotted one man who was
not taking part in the hullabaloo.
Pointing at him, the actress excla'med,
sternly ; " ou seem to be the only sens!
ble person in this house. Tell me what
on earth they are kicking up this row
for" lhe man rose, bowed to the
actress, and remarked, in very bad
American-French; "Madam, you are
shy one Turk."
DISINFECTION OF THE SKIN.
Soap and Water Does Not Remove All
the Imparities.
The New York Herald's European
edition tcports some interesting experi
ments of M. Lauenstein, a Hamburg
pbysisian, upon the disinfection of the
akin.
It is generally supposed that a little
soap and water will remove all impuri-
lies from the skin. Cut these experi
ments of M. Lauenstein prove that it is
ly no mr ans easy to disinfect it, even
"by minute washinga and the most se
vere antiseptic applications."
In 147 operations he that removed a
small piece of epidermic; 23 of these
rases had merely been washed with
water, whereas the remaining 124 had
had the operative field dis'nfccted with
ether, a'cohol and solutions of aub-
t'lnate ot chlorine. The little pieces of
fckin taken from the latter and tested by
the usual methods of culture were
found to be exempt from germs In 49
oases only.
The practical conclusion to be drawn
from thee experiments is that disinfec
tion of the skin la difficult to realize,
that a quantity of baths must be given
and that too many precautions ennnot
lie taken and no detail ia superfluous.
As regards hospital practice M. I.auen-
steln'a experiments show that it Is far
preferable not to operate on put tenia as
soon oa they are admitted, but only
when they have been subjected to re
peated nd thorough cleaning and dis
infection. For greater security it ia ad
vised to have a aeries ot washings with
soap and of frictiona with alcohol, ether,
eorbolic ncid and aublimde,thc portion
of the body to tie treated being protect-
td during each aeance by a fresh anti
septic dressing aa the only security
against fresh microbian contamination.
