See that. the new dances are to be and. .stately, one of them em- a stunt like this: “The court * pose, when properly done, brings the body almost in a sitting posture, with the right knee doubled under as a sup- port and the !eft leg perfectly straight and thrust far forward.” Large, port- ly citizens with scant wind doing this slowly and with stateliness will be a . Bight worth seeing. ; ‘Points a Moral.- The awards at the International Live stock show tend to prove it very much the same with the lower ani- mals as with human beings, in that the longest pedigree does not always mean the finest stock. In . other . words, the. unpretentious human mav- ‘erick often walks away with the prize, while his-thoroughbred rival is being cajoled and curried. Nothing By Comparison. Congressman Loud of « California was badly beaten in the race last No- vember. On*his..way east to attend the opening of Congress the train on which he was traveling was partially wrecked. A colleague congratulated him on escaping serious injury and Loud replied: “Oh, that was nothing after the wreck I was in on election i Produces Hydrogen Cheaply. M.

Large sums of money have been ap- propriated in the military budget for the equipment of the new rifle factory at Ishapore, and for the extension of the central gun carriage factory at Jubbulpore. The rearmament of the native infantry regiments is also to be completed with as little delay as pos- sible, a sum of $1,345,000 having been appropriated for the purpose. The re- organization of the light and heavy field artillery and the division and bri- gade staffs also absorb a considerabte sum. To meet the possible military requirements, the rolling stock on the railways is to receive large additions. The army experimental balloon ‘corps is to be-exercised among the hills of the Yuzufzai country by which the road from Nowshera to Chitral, in the direction of the Russian frontier in the north, passes. GUM PRODUCED BY ANTS. Without Their Labors Supply of Gum Arable Would be Very Small. Gum arabic is an exudation from certain species of acacia. In order to obtain the guni the stem must be cut or-perforated so that the juice may exude, and. we are told by M. Walter Busse, who has just been investigating the gum production of German East Africa, that in the majority of cases this necessary perforation is accom- plished by ants, without whose labors, therefore, the world could not get its supply of giim arabic—at least with the present ease. Says M.. Busse: “Apart from the rare wounds in fiicted accidentally by man, animals storms, ete., all secretion of gum th this country is provoked by ants. The ants perforate the bark of the acacia to gain admittance into. the wood, where they lay their eggs in the exca- vations, which are ‘sometimes of con- siderable extent. “The acacias with soft wood gener- ally show few wounds of this kind, The hardwood acacias are riddled with them, each perforation. being marked with a globule of gum. “The ant that thus produces the gum makes no use of it. It is only an obstruction to her work, since it stops up the galleries that she hollows out.” | periutendent of Electric Light und —Journal d’Agriculture Tropicale.
