WITHIN AN ANT mu Tiny insects Have Their Homes Care- fully Planned When you step on an ant hill you crash ruthlessly a complicated archi- tectural structure far more wonderful in its way, than a modern skyscraper. Entering the hill at the hole in the top an invader instantly encounters a soldier ant, always on guard. The first floor is the guardroom. Floor 2. counting downwards, is the summer Sleeping room for the workers. in :‘the third floor the workers live and -dine. No. 4 is storage room,,while the fifth floor provides the barracks for the ants’ standing army. They form the guard for the queen, who lives and lays her eggs on the floor below. Nextâ€"floor 7â€"come the storage rooms of fodder and grain for the milch-cowsâ€"the aphids, who suck up "milk" from blades of grass with their feet, so that the ant milkmaids can afterwards "milk" them by strok- ing their legs until a drop of “milk” falls. Other little insects collect honey, and are “milked” in the same 1 ray. The stables, where they are kept. are shown on floor 8. Then, below the earth We come to the ninth floor, the nurseries, where the milk and honey which the milkmaids have se- cured is handed over to the baby ants. just hatched as larvae, from eggs. Belowâ€"floors 10 and llâ€"are other nurseries, where the baby ants are cared for in various stages of their growth. Next we find the winter quarters of the ant kingdom, and on the same floor is the graveyard; for the ant city in a hill is complete even to a cemetery. winter apartment.

Canadian windmills, one or two in- dustrial machines, a few tools, are also found ‘here, and an occasional shipment of lumber and paper is also imported. To Bolivia, nothing be- yond some chairs, brooms and wooden goods seem to be exported. Peru takes an occasional shipment of lumber. In Ecuador, Canadian flour is finding a market, and bids fair to rival the United States product, if indeed it does not eventually drive it out, or at least form that portion of the trade which buys quality and not the cheap low-grade article which is obtained in California and the Pacific coast of the United States. In Guaya- quil, some Canadian tools are also seen. Panama is now purchasing Canadian flour, and also small quan- tities of silver-plated ware and a. patent automobile tire cement. â€"â€"___.____ Japanese Thrift In Japan examples of thriftiness are growing population the people cannot afford to waste the value of a straw. Even the seaweed and octopus serve for food. Hillsides that would be given up' in Canada as absomtely un- tillable have been converted into rice fields in forty irrigated terraces ris- ing above ach other on a single slope and made permanent. by walls of ma- sonry. If there is no water, it can be carried to the topmost terrace of the farmers, and if the hillside is rocky, even soil itself may be taken from some distant deposit to'the ter- race. Japan's Sacred Mountain Fuji-yams, the famous sacred moun. tain of Japan, is an absolutely per- fect mountain. It stands alone, and rises a superb cone crested with white. It is difilcult to realize that it stands 12,000 feet high from the blue sea which edges its skirts. so gradual and perfect is its rise. Other things may be compared to this beau- tiful mountain, but undoubtedly it cannot be compared to anything; it stands supreme and alone, its own lovely, graceful self.
