Europeans who viHit the great equa- ! torlal forests of Africa are subject to tunny risks, hut none perhaps so dan- i gorons as contact with the hashikouny, or grent hull nut, which Is said to be the most dreaded of living things to he found In that region. It is gluttonous in the extreme. That which It attacks It consumes on the spot—nothing Is carried away for further convenience. Elephants, leopards, gazelles, lions, snnkes, gorillas, monkeys, even the humnn aborigines of the districts It Infests, tly from any neighborhood In which they know It to bo located. Ac cording to well accredited reports, those awe Inspiring bull mils travel, like locusts, in vast armies, marching In a line two Inches or more broad and miles in length. One of these armies has been known to take twelve hours to pnss a given point. These ants pre fer the shade and, rather fmiV^ie ex posed to the rays of the blazing sun, will burrow tunnels under the surface of the ground and thus travel until they come to the shelter of trees. Any animal which, unaware of tho proxim ity of the bull nnt and reposing In the solitude of the volt, happens to ho attacked Ims no chance of esenpo. It Is devoured with Irresistible fury, nutl within a few minutes a pile of blenched bones marks the spot where It reposed. A great deal of valuable Information about this dreaded creature lias boon published by a French zoologist, M. do Challler, who has described a personal encounter with the hull nnt. "I re member well the first time 1 met the bnshlkouays on a raid, I knew not what was In store for me. I was hunt ing by myself, when suddenly the for est became alive with the foe, A sud den dread seized me, and I stood still In lilt' hunting path, resting on my gun. Suddenly, as If by tangle, I was cov ered and bitten everywhere. I lied In haste and found refuge In n deep Hlrcnm, yet even then tho strong pinch ers of the ants would not give way, and though tho bodies were torn off tho heads remained. The unlive tribes, when a man Is condemned for witch craft, generally fasten him to a tree before an Inroad of these ants. After they have passed a shining skeleton alone Is left to tell the tale."

You can help us very much by seeing that your children are punctual in attend ance. This is far from satisfactory now. The school rooms are kept dry and warm and the children need not be out in the dampness. This makes school a safe place on in clement days. Another matter: The first bell rings at 8:00 o'clock, the doors are open at 8:15, and no child in the corporate limits need leave Horn i before the first bell, as the tardy bell does not ring till 8:33, other wise there is a great waste of time.
