If 1 was asked to point out the most
intelligent animal—judging from the
human standpoint—I think I should sc
loot the ant. It is true that these little
creatures lmve not been educated or sent
to school, and we do not know what
they would do under the influence of
education, but we do know that in their
natural state in their methods df life
they exhibit a remarkable resemblance to
man. Ants go to war in organized
bodies, and they have n sign language,
beyond any doubt. That their memory
is remarkable is shown by the fact that
they remember individuals of their own
kind for over a year. Thus, an ant was
taken from a nest and kept for a number
of month then taken back and with a
stranger colony. ant dropped iu among the old
The stranger was immediately
killed, while the old one that had been
away was caressed by the antenn® of its
friends.
Those who have made a study*bf ants
inust be satisfied that they have a sign
language, nml I believe it to consist in
tupping each other with their antennae,
Thus 1 placed a dead beetle near a nest;
soon a l (‘turning ant found it,examined it
well, and started to the nest. When
m ar it it met a friend, and the two
stood fora moment tapping each other
•with their antenna!, when the new-comer
turned and went directly for the beetle;
tile liist ant meeting another ant and re
penting the performance, the latter also
traveled for the beetle. After tasting
tho new-found game the two ants re
turned to the nest, and almost imraedi
atcly there was evidence of unusual
activity. I lie ants # had communicated
the news to their comrades, and the re
suit was a lino of ants to the beetle ma
very few moments.
In South America ants arc known to
travel long distances in search of food,
and a branch ol the Parana River was
tunneled by them—a fact shown by
forcing smoke through. These ants
were not deterred by anything, and like
a human army moved on in solid phalanx,
Short streams they crossed by bridging
with their own bodies. This was ac
cotuplishrd by lowering themselves from
branches, ants crawling down, and cling
ing to each other, until gradually the
line was several yards in length and the
wind blew it to the opposite limb, over
which the rest ot the army passed.
1 he ants show remarkable intelligence,
if wo take ourselves as a standard. A
bouth American species lines its tunnels
with a certain bark which it knows will
produce a certain fungoid growth ncces
sary as food ior the young. Others are
known to indulge in agriculture, and are
supposed by some to carry seeds to cer
tain places and plant them, in order to
iced upon them at the harvest. Thcagri
cultural ants of Texas have open or
cleared places for some little understood
purpos e, from which paths radiate. Other
ants keep certain insects as pets or slaves,
and others again for the odor they emit,
while still others are regularly in the
dairy business, keeping the aphidae as
prisoners and forcing them to give up
their milk or honey. The ants are so
solic Rous that they build corrals for them,
uml so insure a new crop every year.
In the care of their young. Ihe erection
of homes and all the methods of life they
exhibit wonderful intelligence. In cer
tain Mexican ants, and they are found
C olorado also, certain members of
family officiate as bottles. The rest
the ants go to them and deliver up
supply of honey or food, and the
bottles receive it, their abdomens grad
ually swelling until as large as peas,
Fhese strange recepticlcs are hung

they cling by the feet, and during
time the iood supply is short, or in
winter, they provide the food for the

The Polynesian ‘•Lomi-Lomi.*’ • .
“Did you ever seethe lomi-lomi I” said
an elderly Bohemian to a Chronicle re¬
porter.
“If you haven't and want to witness a
novelty in the massage business just
come along with me.”
In a few minutes the elderl? gentle
pleteiy man was lying on a hard couch, com
disrobed, but covered with a
linen cloth from his chin to the tips of
bis toes. There entered with Oriental
stealthiness of tread a young Japanese,
who at once removed his coat, and,
kneeling beside tbe couch, seized the old
gentleman’s arm and commenced to
knead the muscles in an anatomical sort
of way. Then he. flexed the shoulder
joint, the elbow joint, tbe wrist joint,
and finally drew out each finger joint till
it. clicked back into the socket with a
snap,
Every limb was thus treated, and then
the Japanese went over all the large
muscles of the back, the loius, the ribs,
the neck in the same way. When he
came to the palms of the hands he dug
his elbows into them and “kneaded”
them as if they’had been bread. There
was something marvelously dexterous
about the way in which he traced the
course of each muscle and soothingly
flexed the weary ligaments,
When the operation was finished the
old gentlcmau arose aud said, “Let me
tell you, the Japanese have gotten on to
this ‘lomi-lomi’ business surprisingly. It
is really the first experiment of the kind
here, but efrery traveler in the Pacific
Islands knows what it means. Massage
is nothing to it. Shall I tell you how it
hns affected me? When I lay down
there, twenty minutes ago, I was fa
tigued to the verge of exhaustion. Now
I feel ready to jump over that couch as
readily as a twenty-year-old athlete.
It’s no delusion—it’s a sober fact.”—•

A Remarkable Checker Flayer.
James P. Reed, now in this city, is
one of the most brilliant checker players
in the world, having vanquished, among
others, Charles Barker and the famous
“Ajeeb,” one of the attractions at the
exposition held here in 1889. Of course
it is always interesting to read • of such
men as Professor Anderson, Paul Murphy,
James Wylie* Dr. Richard Yates, Steinitz,
Gunsberg and others noted in the “chess
and checker literature” of Europe and
America, and besides these two games of
chess and checkers are purely games ol
mental skill. However, it was not our
purpose to write a dissertation on the
mental discipline of this highly intelleo
tual recreation, but more particularly to
call attention to the peculiar character
of mind displayed .by Mr. Reed in play
ing ten games at once without ever see
ing the boards. He sits with his face to
the wall and he knows the boards as “one,
two, three, and so on.” If he is to play
first lie calls his play on board number
“one, two, three,” and so forth, in their
regular numerical order. After a play
is called lie simply holds that play and
position in his mind, and the same is true
of all other plays. At any stage in the
game he can stop aud tell just" how the
men are placed on aiiy one board or he
can go back and trace all the games
through from the beginning, or if any
one of his opponents has made a different
play he will give the proper reply.
These things are referred to because of
the belief that in some way they are con
uected with the mysterious arithmetical
power displayed by Zcrah Colburn
George Bidder, tiie prodigies in their day.

THE TORPEDO BOAT.
*
A MODERN ENGINE OF NAVAL
Torpedoes are Divided Inflf Three
Classes—The Boats That Carry
Torpedoes and Their Equip¬
ments—The Speedy Cushing.
There _, is no part of . the , naval equip- .
ment of nations that is more interesting
to the people than the torpedo boat, and
its if. nooiionr peculiar duty. < 1 nf r Yet, \ of with srifli the excep- t
tion of some slight u«e on the Danube,
thirteen years ago, the torpedo in its
present form has never been in action.
On that one ...---—, occasion, moreover, tbe fc uc
effect was chiefly upon the minds of the
combatants. Each was in such terror of
the torpedo boats of its adversary, that
the result was achieved through fear
rather than fighting. Yet we may safelv
assume that the torpedo boat mav be re
He,, upon „ a practicable Wapon o,
W '
The boat at present in use, whose main
duty is coast and harbor defence, requires
an auto-mobile or self-propelling tor¬
pedo, which shall run for half a mile
under water, and be exploded by ftn
tact with the enemy's ship..
Torpedoes themselves may ba divided
into three classes. In the first are the
fixed torpedoes, which are planted at the
bottom of the water near harbor en¬
trances, and exploded by electricity.
The second includes movable topedoes,
which are dependent upon connection
with a fixed base. A coil of fine wire
concealed upon the torpedo unwinds as
it advances, and by means of electric in¬
fluence the operator can make it stop,
start, turn to right or left, and finally ex¬
plode at will. The third class embraces
the strictly .auto-mobile torpedoes, of
which there arc two kinds, the White
head and the Howell.
The Whitehead torpedo has been
adopted by all the naval powers of Eu¬
rope. Its body, which is cigar-shapcd,
is of polished steel plate, about eighteen
feet long and fifteen inches in diameter
midway. Near the stern is a diaphragm
and a small screw propeller. The body
of the Whitehead torpedo is divided
into thfeG sections. The front portion
is devoted to the storage of fifty pounds
or raore of dynamite, which is dis
charged by contact with the hull of the
vessel destined for destruction. In the
central section is a very compact engine,
which has nearly 100 horse-power, and
is visually made of phosphor bronze. In
the last section lies the stored power,
which is air compressed to a pressure of
’ l500 pounds to the square inch. Ex
periments made in Portsmouth,England,
have established for the Whitehead tor¬
P e do a speed of about thirty-five milesan
hour when it is set fora 500-yard flight,
The torpedoes used by the English Gov
ernment are made at the Arsenal at
Woolwich on the-Thames, and. cost
about £500 each.
The Howell torpedo is an American
machine. It resembles the Whitehead,
but differs from it in its means of pro
pulsion. Its motive power is furnished
by a fly-wheel, to which rapid motion is
given just before it is to be used. The
amouut of power stored in the whedl is
astonishing, and, by its force, the tor
P edo can be made t0 perform a flight of
nearly two miles. Great nicety of fluish
is necessary in order perfectly to balance
machine, which would otherwise be
torn to pieces by the vibration of the
wheel, enclosed as it is in the torpedo,
and running at the rate of 1200 turns a
minute. The Howell torpedo leaves no
visible trace of its flight through the
water, and is, in this respect, superior
the Vv hitchead, whose course isplain
ty discernible by the bubbles of exhaust
which rise to the surface. But, on
other hand, the spinning of the fly
wheel in the Howell torpedo is accom
panied by a tremendous noise, caused
J y cxnaust steam which is used to
jive it the requisite speed,
The mode of using the two machines
tne same. In the side or bow of the
vessel is fixed a tube containing the tor
pedo, which, when it i3 on a line with
object to be destroyed, is projected
'>y a charge of slowly buriug powder, or
dic release of a quantity of compressed
J rr.
The boats.usefi for carrying torpedoes
u’e more complex in construction than
the iustruments*themselves, and have re
ce i ve( * much attention from naval de
dgners. They 'are divided into two
-hisses. A boat which can be carried by
» ship belongs to the. smaller class,
is limited in length and displacement
ca P a h'dity ol the ship which is to
lff UQ ch it. Such torpedo boats are from
seventy feet to fifty-five feet in length,
from,seven to eight feet wide, and dis
P lace ten to fourteen tons. They are ex
j <l pected to work only a tew hours, and
carr J a crew of not more than six men.
i The engines and other equipments of
the second-class boat are more simple
tliaa those of the larger, and up to the
present time, they have always been fur
Dished with single screws which give a
* s P ee d °f seventeen or eighteen knots an
! hour. larger ships, They and are in used as adjuncts to
! an engagement are
expected to harass the enemy by attack
fl ’ oni several points at once. The
battleships Maine and Texas are to be
furnished with two of these second-class
tor P e do boats.
Soon after the second-class boat came
iato use ’ nbout twenty-five years ago. it
was seen that a larger boat for harbor de
! fence was desirable, and to meet the de
mand the British Admiralty built the
; L’-gbtning, the first of her c'ass.
j was eighty-five feet long. Since then
i tbese sea -g° ia g torpedo boats.
tbe v ar e often cailed. have been increased
-
in length to one hundred and
! ! feet, and in displacement to one
and toas - while their range has
been increased from harbor to coast de
| fence. They are also fitted with twin
screws.
Since tbe success of the torpedo ser
j ' ice depends on “dash,” it is clear that
I the highest possible speed is desirable.
j This has been ueveloped with such sue
ces3 that, iu a recent triai of first class
i torpedo boats built upon the Baltic for
j the Italian Government, a speed of nearly
twenty-seven knots an hour was ob
j tained.
sea-goiug ^ torpedo boat No. 1,
j named the Cushing, recently built
Bristo , R. I., for the United States
| Government, affords the best example of
vessels oi uer class. Although she is
first ever built in America, all the
] erience of foreign builders has
utilized; aud it is thought that some
provemaats over ail others have been
irodueed.
Cushing is 13S feet long, and
ie;u feet wide, is furnished with
screws driven by quadruple expansion
engines of 1SOO horse power combined.

The Czar’s Interview With a Nihilist.
Stepniak, the famous Russian Nihilist
and novelist, now in the United States,
is one of the most Interesting personal
ities in London, where he resides, aud
has done much by his writings to show
us the seamy side of life in Russia. In
his career as a Nihilist he has had many
hair-breadth escapes, aud when you
look at his pale, impassive, Slavonic
face, you can see that the risk of death
has had no terrors for him. On a recent
occasion he was asked his opinion of the
present Czar, and replied: “I believe
Alexander III. to be an honest and good
man, but-’’ and he paused signifi¬
cantly. A few years ago, a? many will
remember, the banquet hall of one of the
Imperial palaces was blown up by dyna¬
mite. The ornamental work in the ceil¬
ing required’some slight repairs. The
workman who came to do these brought
with him a small infernal machine which
was timed to explode shortly after the
commencement of a large family dinner¬
party to be held there that evening.
This he intended to place in a small
niche w’hich he made for the purpose in
the ceiling. He was standing upon the
ladder with the bomb in his hand, when
in walked the Czan- himself. lie began
to talk, and asked tne mechanic about
I his life, whether he was married, if he
had children, and conversed with him
kindly for some time. It was a terrible
situation for the Nihilist, who was quite
charmed by the manner of the terrible
White Czar, whom he had come to as¬
sassinate. His impulse was to confess
all, but his oath of allegiance to his cause
deterred him, and when the Czar de¬
parted, having given him some money,
he adjusted the bomb and left the palace.
That night was one of great anxiety to
all the Nihilists in the plot, and when
the explosion was heard at the right
time it was thought that all the guests
had perished. But it happened that the
Duke of Edinburgh arrived at the palace
half an hour late for dinner, and the
bomb exploding before dinner had com¬
menced, a chance unpunctuality pre¬
vented a fearful tragedy.— Oncs-a-WceJc.
A Revolution In Dyeing.
A revolution in the dyeing industry
dates from the discovery of the first arti¬
ficial coal-tar dyestuffs. In this country
there are several places where the manu
facture of these products are carried on,
hut, as a rule, the number of dyestuffs
made in any one place is somewhat re
stricted, and in some cases the entire
product is confined to a very small nutn
her, as magenta, cotton blue, etc. Iu
England, France, Germany and other
countries, but especially in Germany,
this industry has attained its greatest
growth, and in some cases the works are
so large as to resemble a small town or
village,
The earlier artificial dyestuffs produce !
; shades so much more beautiful than those
I produced with the natural dyestuffs that
’ : kt first the accompanying lack of per
manenev was not so much considered,
As time went on, however, there was a
reaction, aud a demand for last and
bright colors arose and has of late years
j been manifested. One dyestuffs great advantage
in the use of artificial is that
j each group of those dyed in the same
way are those which will produce the
| combination three primary all colors, shades so that be by produced proper
can
in one dyeing operation.
As the natural dyestuffs do not possess
this advantage, and many of the shades
produced by them require two or more
dyeing operations, the result has been
j that they have been largely displaced by
j the artificial products, and only those
i tions meet with any extensive use. Prin
; cipal among these are logwood, fustic,
indigo and cutch, all of which are used
iu enormous quantities; but even now
the first and last have strong competitors
in the artificial dyestuffs, and it is not
impossible that in time all the natural
coloring matters may be entirely super
i seded .—Pittsbury Dispatch.
