DAMAGE DONE BY ANTS.
VsU Armies Travel Over Mexlce in
Straight Lines.
Hordes of blank act* do muck dam
age la the TUxpam district, according
-to a report brought to Tampion by
Enrique Mardl, a prominent ranchman,
who Uvea near the (own of Tuxpani.
The ants travel In great columns, and
seem to be controlled by leaders, who
manage the great armies with mili
tary *klU. The anta are known among
the Mexican! aa bomegas. Describing
the depredations of the peat, Mr. Mar-
Be) nald. ££
"Without exaggeration, there are
millions and mUllooa of anta In theor
droyea. Theye are apt to come at any
time, and they travel In A straight line,
from which nothing will turn tlxen.
They swarm over anything la their
path. aad kill every living tftlng that
Sore not get out or their way.
™T® relate my own experience, It
was along In the aftenoon. and I wan
superintending some work near the
house, when our attention was at
tracted by the strange movements of
numerous inserts and animal*, which
appeared to be fleeing In a certain di
rection. This was the first Indication
we had of the approach of the an;*,
which we soon afterward saw coming
In a long line, the farther end of which
was out of sight, and preeentlng a
front of It feet
"They were bended for the house,
and we ran there to get things lu as
good A ape aa possible, as one of the
Indiana said they would go all over tho
house. And he was not mistaken
They went on the roof, through tho
cracka, everywhere, and In Ave min
utes the house was alive with them.
I saw them devour a large spider
which had the temerity to stand In
their way and light them. We hunt
ed piper, used hot wwer and gasoline,
boat tin pana, and did everything else,
but all to no avail, and after being
bitten once or twloe we beat a re
treat.
"After 10 minutes the ants Itegan to
leave the house, without having done
any partlrular damage, and th'y left
In the sane orderly line as that tn
wMrh they hen approached It. each suc
ceeding column going over the house
as M aam* to It. and then following
the leader* off. They did no special
damage. The creature* traveled with
remarkable rapidity, considering their
alar; ! should aay at learn- a* fast
aa a man eaa walk, and It took over
half an hour to pass.
"Thin Is my o*ily experience with
the ants, and so far as I could nee they
did no great harm, though the Indians
eemi to be In great fear of them, and
told me that they would often destroy
entire crop*. No one could tell me the
manning or special time of theae mi
grations.
"A friend told me that on one oc
casion he tied a saddle horse on file
plains while he walked some distance.
During his ab»«nce a horde of an'*
killed the horse, stripped the bones
clean, and even tore nway a pail of
the leather of the saddle.
"There seem* to he no successful
way of lighting the peat."
Whan the Lion Cage Broke.
While a menagerie was being carried
from St. Rtlenne to Iloanne. In France
a Hon escaped from his cage. Which
had been broken accidentally, and
bounded to the platform at Vandrang
ss He was hurt, but rushed down the
line, upsetting the sta'.don master as
ha went, disappearing In the darkness
With four armed guards aboard, a lo
comotive was sent In chase Before
his pursuer* got near him tha Hon had
traveled three mtlea. and had come
to the cottage of a signalman.
tn the house the signalman lay
asleep. His wife had gone out to
look at the signals She hoaril a rten>
growl and saw the anlmtl's eynn llash-
Ing from the darkness. "I snatched
the lamp from the gate and danhed it
In the brute's fare." she said. "Then
I beard the roar of an oncoming train,
some shots and I fainted." The Hon
had bean shot
While this was happening another
lion bad Jumped from the damaged
cage at Koaun* He was shot by gen
darmes, who killed also the two lion*
rrmaialng in the cage, aa no one
dared to go near It. The loss to the
menagerie owner was 110.000.
The Marriage Knot.
In India only, of all the countries of
the world, I* the much-talked-of mar
riage knot ever actually tied. Among
tlw> Brahmins marriage is a matter
of purchase, and the would-be bride
groom Is liable almost till the I aft
moment to be ousted by a higher bid
der; but. If no suitor appears willing
to give the father a more valuable
present, he leads his daughter to thr
flrst offer himself, saying.—
T have no longer anything to do
with you; I give you up to the power
of another."
Then the bridegroom laces the tall,
the Insignia of marriage, round hei
neck, and aerurss It with a knot. The
tall consists of a piece of ribNm
with a gold bead suspended upon It.
The knot It Is that legally binds the
wife to her husband snd makes the
marriage Indissoluble, for Brahmins
do not recognize divorce.
The tar that is contained in
Bee's Laxative Hoticy .gjul Tar is
harmless. It is not coal tar, hut
is obtained from the pine trees of

Laxative Honey and Tar is the
