A Suoc-tttf al Hunt.
Henry McMaken returned home
from a pleasant four week's hunting
trip to the Black Hills. He was the
guest of his old friend, Uriah Gillette,
who lives on a ranch out from Ilijl
City, S. D. Henry said he was out in
a three day's blizzard that would take
the edne off anything he ever met
with down here.
In his different excursions he killed
eleven deer and quite a number of
pheasants. He brought several pheas
ants and nto as nice deer as we ever
saw home with him. He reports two
feet of snow on the ground up there
with weather to match, and he hur

Mt. Vernon HawKeye: The Ol
tumwa quartette made their firs-t ap
pearance at Mt. Vernon at the audi
torium. Their quartette pinging was
most excellent and highiy appreciated
: This fact was clearly manifested by
the hearty and enthusiastic encores
which followed every number. Their
rich, melodious voices, which blend in
perfect harmony, the variety and pop
ularity of their selections, all tom-
Argeiitia Ants.
A common way cf destroying the ants
in Argentina is ry means of a small
metal cylindrical furnace half filled
with ar.v kind of dry, inflammable rub
bish, and in the top a pan suspended
containing flout rs of sulphur. When
jghted, a lid is screwed down over
this, fo lb;;t the fimr:ke ran only issue
from n bent me tal tube, which conducts
it to tho ant hole. A pair of bellows,
worked by a handle, is attached to the
lower part of the furnace, thus making
the fire burn and forcing the eulphuroua
smoke along the ant passages. Tha
whole apparatus is suspended on wheels
and can thereby be conveniently moved
frrrn part to part of the qninta. With
this instrument Kuch volumes of suffo
cating smoLe can soon be produced that
it will often be issuing thickly from
holes 200 c r 3C0 yards distant. So you
may imagine the ants have a somewhat
lively time cf it or, perhaps, rather, a
deadly one.
In spite, however, of waging war
against tliem they multiply so rapidly
that it is only where tho gardeners fight
them very energetically that they can
be kept down, and the amount of dam
ago they do is often appalling. When
up country, on the border of the Grand
j Chaco, where, of course, these insects
work their own sweet will, the writer
once discovered a deserted wooden hut
Incautiously leaniEg ngainst the struc
ture, ho was surprised to see the whole
cf it collapse. Bnt on examination he
found the reason f be that every por
tion of the woodwork had been perfor
ated anel tsndernj'ued by the ants, and
only required n very slight touch to
crumble into ruins. The inroads of tlw
ants had probably been the cause of
abandoning the hut. Temple Bar.

on the amount of heat and light that
our fuu is constantly emitting. It is
shown by this wonderful table of fig

as much sunshine a would illuminate

Even this vast quantity is as nothing,
for, of course, our earth only receives

tober 1, 1S96, before Judge Dunbar to
appoint a temporary receiver; A. D.
Chandler, esq., was appointed for the
protection and adjustment of the in
terests of the creditors during a reor
ganization of this company. The offi
cers of the com panj did not contest
the petition, feeling that it is for the
best interests of all parties concerned
as an equitable plan pending the busi
ness changes to be made.
The Arena company will be recapi
talized by experienced business men
and placed in new hanels and on a firm
financial basis, the magazine to be an
open court for the promulgation cf ali
authoritive and important opinions.
The business of the Arena, both as
magazine and as a booK-puousning
house, ha? made quite a. phenomenal
growth, but had not sufficient capital
to handle the business into which it
had developed. With the reorganized
company the Arena will be euabled to
extend its growth and add to its repu
tation now so well established, in the

ers feel a personal interest on account

The Indian "mango" trick, in which
a plant is seen to grow np from the
seed in a few minutes, has been done
in a new way by M. Michael Cerday of
the Ecolo Polyte'chnique in France. M.
Corday employs the well known cine
matograph, or apparatus for producing
"living photograph" that is to say,
photographic images endowed with
movement and apparently with life. A
rose plant is photographed at intervals
during its growth until the flower buds
and blooms. The photographs thus
taken are combined by the cinemato
graph and projected on a scre en, so as
to represent the development ot tne
plant in a short time. The number cf
photographs taken in six months should
be equal to the number which the sen
sitive baud of the cinematograph will
continue. Obvior.sly the same plau will
be able to show the changing aspects cf
the country daring the sense'ns in one

Au innovation in cojrt proceedings
which would make some of the grand

the jury locked up in a room during
the progress of the trial aDd have the

after the trial was over. This would
do away with emotional acting and
