It is one of the carious things in nature that the animals nearest to man in the order of development are of littleor no uso to him industrially. Tlire lias never bepn time when strong ra.-es of men have not compell ed tbeir weaker brothers to work for them. Cut, barring the showman and the organ grinder, the meanest of men have not been able to suhjugale or enslave their simian relativei. An ancient Arabic proverb ac eotintfl for the freedom of apes by the fart that they shrewdly refuse to talk : "well they know that were they to speak thy would be made to work ; so they wisely hold their tongues." The proverbial prudence of the monkey appears lo fa.l in a measure, however, iu the land of the white elephant An Austrian resident at the Court of Siam reports that in that country the monkey is trained to flsh for crabs with his tail, as comical a pursuit as can well be imagined, except, perhaps, for the worthy an 1 intelligent ape engaged id it, who sometimes gets a "bite" from a mODSter crab that he is totady unable to land, and falls a victim to the superior weight of his Cancer Ferox, wliodrags him into the water, drowns, and finally devours him. The Sia mese ape is also stated to be in great request among uativo merchants as a cashier in their counting houses. Vast quantities of base coin obtain circulation in Siam, and the fac ulty of discrimination between good money and bad would appear to be possessed by these gifted monkeys in such an extraordi narydevelopment that 110 mere human being, however cart-fully trained, cau compete with them. The cashier ape meditatively puts into his mouth each coin presented tohimin business payments, and tests it with grave deliberation. If it be genuine he bands it over to his master. If it be counterfeit, he sets it down on the counter before him with a solemn grimace of displeasure. His meth od of testing is regarded in commercial cir cles as infallible ; and, as a matter of fact, his decision is uniformly accepted by ad parties interested in the transaction. Hut, though a true and invaluable servant to his own particular master, it seems that his moral character is not altogether irreproach able. His deplorable passion for fruit ren ders him the terror of Siamese market gars deners, who find brute ferce inadequate to restrain him from visiting their orchards, and therefore have recourse to divcts and sundry stratagems, one of which is reported to lie successful as it is certainly ingenious. A specially active and enterprising ape is captured and carefully sewed np in tho skin of a tiger cat. He is then turned loose in the orchard of his predilection, and straight way clambers as well as ho may, incumber ed by an unfamilar garment, intothe branch es of a fruit tree among his unclothed fel lows. Scarcely do these latter set eyes upon him witli all his feline terrors thick upon him when a dieadfn panic strikes them, and they scramble away with piercing screeches and agonized cbatterings. Never more do they return to an orchard which they believe to be infested by the deadliest enemy of their race. The startling i'i telligence is ra pidly disseminated throughout the monkey s.iciety of the neighborhood, and the wily gardener enjoys a-i absolute immunity from depredation forever afterward, for the very thoaj'it of a tiger cat appaals the simian son!, and doubtless the tail of "the awful appari tion in Ting tse's on hard" is handssd down in .pi.iilimiar.ous families from generation to generation. v-;. ntiii- Ain'Tlrun .

Reed, of Erie, Ta., states in a local paper the results of some re cent experiments hy him the past sea son with different fertilizers on a field of about 14$ acres sown in Lancaster red wheat in the fall of 1877. The field was divided into six sections, five a little over two acres each, and one s. e .u- i--a ruouv mui auress iue msst muut; Lrt.i.g j without fertilizers, with the exception j of a little lime, while on the other five were respectively applied the follow- j . j105: ! The?e yields are by thresher's meas- jure, and as wheat, weighs Co pounds i per bushel, arc less than the actual Mr. lleed says : "This ground was carefully measured and staked ofT, and the different sections harvested and threslied separately, and every prtcau- j tion taken to secure accurate results. i The field is a clay soil mixed with some j gravel and has Wen thoroughly under- j drained. It was sown to barley the ""'g ---i - vielded J8 bushels per acre. Before vicMed 18 uuslielfl ir acre 1 the wheat was harvested the sections which 6alt an(1 glJano wcre used looked equally as wtll as those sections treatea wuu puospnaie, uom: uut, uu ground limestone, and if they had not Decn luffsuvu se aiaicijr, 11. i-u'ii'i""" have been possible irom ine apjear ance of the wheat to determine which was the best. This fact has convinced me that the only way to arrive at ac curate results is to thresh separately, as in this case sections yielding 7 bushels to the acre looked no letter than thosejieiding 29 bushcis per acre. I think it is not improbable that fer tilizers have been condemned as use- j less, in many cases, when, if the grain i had been threshed separately, they would have shown tavoraUle result. In this ease the ground limestone proved to be the most economical for- tilizcr. showine a profit over iTonc dust j of $1.96 per acre, over pbospatc of j $4.23 per acre, over guano of $'J.70 ir i acre, and over salt of $5.90 per acre. i I am using the ground limestone on I about 70 acres of wheat -bis fall, and (hope I may not have occasion to I -linnoo tho o-iinion for rn oil from the I c I foregoing tests, that in proportion to j the cost it is the best fertilizer for i wheat. Jhe liehl on which the above I I tests were made is again sown to wheat j with a uniform dressing of 100 pounds I of ground limestone lo the acre, and i will be again harvested and threshed separately, t ascertain the yield of the different sections of the second -on t " 1 Ants Communicating. --"Two ants." ' Bays Buclincr, "when they are talking j together, stand with their heads op posite each other, working their sensi tive ft.tlei'3 in the liveliest manner, and tapping each other's heads. Numer ous examples prove that they are able , in this way to make mutual com- ' munieations, and even on certain defi nite subjects. "I have often,' says the Knglish naturalist, Jesse, "placed a small green caterpillar in the neigh- i borhood of an ants nest. It is imme- ' diatcly seized by an ant, which calls , assistance of a friend, after ineffectual efforts to drag the caterpillar into the nest. Ii can be clearly seen that the little creatures hold a conversation hy means of the ir feelers ; and this being ended they repair together to the cat- !; crpillar in order to draw it in their nest by their united strength. Fur- ther, I have observed the meeting of i ants on their way to and from their .' nests. They step, touch each other : with their feelers, and appear to hold a conversation, which I have good ' reason to suppose refers to the lest ground for obtaining food." Hague writes a letter to Iarwin, that he one -i i. :ii.j ,:. i. : tJ..r. ; ki tMiiri.i rin ins iiuvi a iiuiiiut'i short conversation ensued between the ants, which, however, did not result in an immediate return, for those which had just left tho nest fist con vinced themselves of the truth of the renort.
