Ants Never Found at
Lose in Finding Waiet
In a thirsty land where, as some¬
times happens In South Africa, a
three-years’ drought dries up every
blade of grass, the white ants always
have water. The reason has been
found by M. Marais, a South African
u&tur&Ust. The ants are water-find¬
ers and well-sinkers.
On a Transvaal farm while a man’s
well was being sunk the borers came
upon a tiny two-inch shaft running in¬
to the earth. The ants had been
there before them! They had sunk
an ant well 65 feet deep to where
water was to be found.
Up and down this shaft, night and
day, water-carrying ants went, each
bearing its drop of water. It took
each ant half an hour to get down to
the reservoir, draw Its water, and
bring it up to the nest. Then down
again it went. There appeared to be
night shifts and day shifts, and the
night ants worked the hardest.
It may he true, as declared by M
Forel, the greatest living authority on
ants, that they are creatures working
almost wholly by instinct, and only to
the extent of about 2 per cent by In¬
telligent or reflective observation ; but
when It comes to water finding, their
intuition makes them hard to beat.
Napoleon Untiring in
Work He Set Himself
Many witnesses have testified to Na¬
poleon Bonaparte's amazing powers of
continued work. Iloederer, who was
his close companion during the consu¬
late, wrote:
“He can work 18 hours at a stretch,
it may be at one piece of work, It may
be at several In turn. I have never
seen his mind without a spring in it,
not when he was physically tired, not
when he was taking violent exercise,
not even when he was angry.”
Napoleon robbed hundreds of his
fellow workers of youth and health
because he demanded too much of
them, when he demanded from them
what he extracted from himself, says
Emit Ludwig In his biography of the
Corsican. His private secretary would
he sent for at a late hour and would
get to bed at four In the morning; at
seven the poor man would find new
tasks ready for Ultu and would be told
they must he finished within two
hours. During the consulate lie would
sometimes begin a sitting with Ills
ministers at six in the evening and
keep It up until five the next morn

The Perfect Picnicker
Saw a teamster at his midday meal
His table was the earth and his cut
tlery a rather battered looking ax
The menu consisted of a tin of bully
beef, a bottle of tomato sauce and a
loaf of bread.
The beef was hacked open with the
ax, the neck of the sauce bottle was
knocked off, also with the ax, and
the bread was torn into lumps in his
hands. A hilly of cold water washed
it down. For simplicity and an entire
absence of fuss or frill I’ll say that
the teamster's methods take the bun.—

REPORTS RARE FIND
IN NATIONAL PARK
The discovery of in some interesting
j cliff-dweller ruins the Grajpi Can
| yon by National park naturalist, park has been who reported recently
; a
! made a trip up Clear Creek canyon,
a tributary of Bright Angel canyon,
; high up on the . north wall of the
; Grand canyon. These ruins are prob
| bly soine of the best preserved In the
.park. The outlines of at least eight
dwellings and possibly one or two
kivas distinctly sltow walls and in
some places the walls, are nearly four
feet high. The rooms in the ruin vary
in size from six to eight feet up to
sixteen by forty feet, according to the
; depth of the overhang of the cliff.
Stone steps lend up to the largest of
the rooms. According to the natural¬
ist, this is probably ihe only place in
the park where stone steps ure found
around an Indian ruin. The large
room had a commanding view of a
fine meadow below, which was prob¬
ably cultivated by the prehistoric res¬
idents of the cliff dwelling.
Should Not Be Ready
for “Shelf” at Sixty
Many of the finest achievements in
statesmanship, literature, medicine
and the arts have been made by men
of sixty or over. Is not Dr. W. W.
Keen at 91 one of the foremost phy¬
sicians of the world? Edison is at
work at 80; the • statesman, Arthur
James Balfour, 89; Elihu Root, 82;
Von Hindenburg, 80; Clemenceau, 80.
The astronomer Galileo, the philoso¬
pher Herbert Spencer and Lamarck;
Browning and Goethe, i lie poets,
Verdi the composer, produced their
masterpieces between the ages off 70
and 85. Titian painted at 98. Sarah
Bernhardt and Joseph Jefferson acted
at 75. Most of the successful gen¬
erals in the World war were far past
the American War department retir¬
ing age of 04.
It is certain that productive mental
activity is greatest after the age of
40, /provided that the health of the
Individual is good and that cares and
responsibilities do not take away his

WHY=
Illusion of “Seeing Stars”
Follows Blow
Usually the sensation occasioned by;
a blow on the head or in the eye ia
accompanied by a hallucination. Tha
person struck thinks that he sees
something similar to the light of stara
lor fireworks. Such an Illusion follows
the compression of the globe of the
I eye.
A man “sees stars” because the eye
has been momentarily flattened, either
! by sudden action or by a spontaneous
; spasm. Sudden sickness, a swoon,
nausea or some too poignant emotion
may he enough to produce the reflex
movement. The most peculiar feature
.is that the Initial seat of the phenom¬
ena is not in the eye, but in the ear.
This is a recognized physiological fact
that has been demonstrated by tha
best eye specialists. The sense of lo¬
cality, the sense of space, to which
man owes his power to stand alone, to
■ walk straight alone, to look straight
forward or in any chosen direction—
the sense which regulates his atti¬
tudes and co-ordinates his gestures—
Is seated in the semi-circle canals of
the internal ear. When a‘hemorrhage,
a wound or a violent disturbance of
any sort produces disorder in the
semi-circular canals, the disturbance
is followed by vertigo. Vertigo is a
visual trouble. The victim cannot use,
his eyes. If he can see at all, his
vision is blurred or deceitful and he
imagines that he is either falling or
rising from the enrth.
There Is a close relationship be¬
tween the nerves of the eye and those
of the internal ear, and some skillful
physicians have declared that the doc¬
tor who is summoned to a case of eye
trouble should begin his diagnosis by
a careful examination of the periphery
of tiie outer ear as well -as the mech¬
anism of the internal ear centers.
Why Perfect Spelling *
Is Hard to Acquire
The reason we have no perfect
spellers is that we are trying to writes
a language containing 40 sounds, with
an alphabet of only 20 letters. We
can thank the philologists for that
alibi. Foreigners are dismayed at the
different ways we spell words of sim¬
ilar sound. For instance “boot” and
“lute” and “fruit.” And then there
are “vein,” “main” and “reign.” Also
the American child must learn to
spell and understand “right,” “rite,”- ’"To,”
"wright” and “write,” as well as
“too” and “two.” This is the reason,
says a noted language teacher, that
the children of English-speaking races
are from one to two years behind the
French, German and Italian children
in mastering reading arid writing.
However, as a means of expression
English Is worth the extra year or
two.—Capper’s Weekly. ,
Why Navy Wears Blue I
A riding habit worn by the duehosS
of Bedford in 1745 is responsible for
the blue and white uniforms of tha
navies of the world today, according
to a recent issue of At ’Em Arizona,
weekly ship's paper of the U. S. S.
Arizona. The paper credits Admiral
ITiilmore, It. N., with being the soured
of the information it purveys. Tha
duchess of Bedford had, it seems, a
blue riding costume faced with white
in 1745. Her husband, the duke of
Bedford, was first lord of the ad¬
miralty at that time. The king, third
and last party to this story, admired
the duchess of Bedford’s costume and
chose blue and white for naval uni¬
forms for tiie first time.
How He Changed Mind i
John, age ten, was having trouble
with a loose tooth hut refused to yield
to the entreaties of his father to call
the infallible door knob into play. Aft¬
er considerable coaxing, fortified wiili
tiie promise of a one-dollnr hill if the
operation were successful, John agreed
to go to the dentist. The tooth was
gone before the lad realized It, so
painless was the operation. Turning
to his father triumphantly, the hoy
asked:
“Want to take another one for tha
same price?” ^
Why Popcorn Pops
Scientists say that the popping oil
corn is an explosion due to the expan¬
sion under pressure of moisture con¬
tained in starch grains. The explo¬
sion ruptures the outer coat, turns
the grain Inside out and exposes tliei
white part of the grain.
Why Whistle Is Barred !
Whistling is frowned on in many
parts of the world, but in Iceland it is
regarded a breach of the divine law
and there are drastic regulations
against it. In general, miners in all
countries regard It as very unlucky
and will not tolerate it in the mines.
Why Airplanes Stall
Model airplanes stall when their
wings are set too far forward, since
the lift of the wings tends to make
the planes nose upward and lose
speed.
