Rival Hoiti of Ant* Fore* T«ach«r and Scholars to Incontinently Flee* A missionary who Is in charge of tha Catholic school at Myala.on Lake Tan ganyika, Africa, tells of an extraordi nary battle between ants in his school room,which the pupils and their teach er were compelled to abandon in haste when the Invading foe appeared on the scene. The deserted room became the theater of a hotly contested battle between the ants that had their homes in the cracks of the stone walls and another species which advanced to the fight from the fields. The thousands of ants living in the wails are known to the natives as Masumbolo. They are very large and black, and as it is al most impossible to get rid of them, and they have the excellent quality of letting human beings alone, little at tention is paid to them. The invading ants were not more than a third as large as the other species. They are called Slafou and are nomads and thieves by nature. When they discov ered the home of the peaceful black in sects they felt certain that a rich booty of larvae awaited them and lost no time in advancing to the attack. Their squadrons moved forward in close flies. They clambered up the doorsteps and into the room,moving very rapidly and began the fiercest sort of an at tack upon the enemy, whom they sur prised at home, engaged in their peaceful occupations. Though the Masumbolo are so much larger than their fierce little enemies, they could not stand against these formidable aggressors, who are most effectively armed with the sharpest and hottest of pincers. So the attacked insects made scarcely any resistance, but gathered up as much of their larvae as’ they could carry and fled at the top of their speed. They fairly carpeted the floor as they moved toward the door3, while their conquerors lost no time in further attack upon the unresisting fugitives, hut began to pillage the city that had been so suddenly abandoned. A few minutes later, however, the Sla fou paid very dearly for the raid they had made. Dozens of the schoolchil dren applied wisps of burning straw to the cracks which the conquering nnts had entered and burned them at the very place of their victory. STILT DANCING. lho UIiIucko Celebrate Foltloh Worship with Quadrilles on Clothes Props. The Chinese, in the interior dis- tricts, where fetichism is still the pre vailing religion, celebrate all their fes tival days by dancing on stilts. The entire population, from the child just able to toddle to the gray-haired gran’- father,mount on long poles and parade around the town, shouting, singing and throwing flowers. No one can be excused, as the unbelievers are merci lessly punished. Some French .and English tourists recently came upon a crowd of this kind near the village of Newchwang, in the extreme south western portion of the empire. Their arrival was unexpected by the Orien tals, who took it as very rude on the part of the Europeans to intrude on such a holy day. A turbulent mob of perhaps 500 rushed on the Caucasians, who numbered but a score, to do them mischief. It was impossible to distin guish sexes, as all wore rude mask3 made of straw mats. So the travelers quietly knocked the sticks from un der a few dozen of the foremost, and, pouncing on them as they plumped to the ground, administered a sound beating. The rest finally made off. Had the Celestials beon on foot, the affair might have resulted seriously. As it was, by the time the majority could get their feet untied from the awkward stilts, the unsanettfled in truders were far away.

Wise, formerly Governor of Virginia, and perhaps its most elo quent orator, stretched himself to hia fall height and exclaimed: “Thoae mountains which lift their haoda to milk the clonds. ” The old ehap waa without doubt referring to Chimney Rook.

In connection with the Pacific cable a very interesting question arises, says the Engineering Magazine. From where is the gutta-percha for this gi gantic cable to come? Every whisper of the construction of a transpacific line sends the gutta-percha market at Singapore up by leaps and bounds. The ruling price of the gum is the highest that has ever obtained. It Is stated, on what authority it is hard to say, that the visible supply of gutta-percha is insufficient for the task, and that It this cable is laid It will be the last—the last with a gutta-percha insulation at least. While this pessimism on the part of the gutta-percha producers savora somewhat of a desire to stiffen the market, there Is yet a sufficiently rea sonable foundation for It In the wanton destruction of the gutta-percha forests. It will be Interesting to see the out come of the situation. If the United States acquires an island In the Caro lines the building of the cable Una seems possible, though expensive. It they,do not find a landing place the operation of the cable seems to require a prohibitively costly plant. And meanwhile there Is the question of the disappearing gutta-percha'tree.
