WONDHMIL THINGS ABOUT ANTS. The. audience, which, following Sol Onion's advice and Sir John Lub boek's reputation, went to the-Royal on January , 437th to consider the ways-,otthe ant was ,vast, and they heard much that would, perhaps, [mire astonished Solomon, or the Per sian sage Shallish4lerta,,Who told man not to be. conceited about his social superidrity, but to " observe the sovereignty of the bee and of the not in their kind." Sir John Lub- Leek has been knOwnt‘be devoting his - attention to ants for the laSt. three years; has clever assist ants in his - little daughter and her goVerness,: who watch the proceed ings in the ant-room (hiring the day, and report progress if he has been absent. Living on a farm adjoining that of Charles Darwin he has the benefit. of consultations with that great (against whose high name some forger recently aimed a blow in Car lyle's name, which_ Carlyle has de : - nounced). 3 Sir John's story NA night was most- extraordinary, lie declared that though the ape ranks next man in form, the ant ranks 'next him in intellect, and if , the ants should ever be able ternake up by numbers for their deficiency of size they might be able to cope with man on no nne (palterm.S. There are seven hun dred kliown species of ants, of which there are thirty in this, country, and Sir John has based hisiesearches on twenty species, which are now shar en; of his hospitality. 'For a liberal , and a moraMnan, Sir John does not . seini to obser e rigid principles with three tiny ereatures; he sets some as slaves to others, and on one occasion gave an antttomPany of thirty so much drink that they were reduced to. hopeless intoxication. On this last occasion'the sober ants pitched five of the inebriates into the water, and` ook twenty-five into the newt to recover. But of a similar party of " strangers " (namely, not belonging to their nest), the sober ants piteWl twenty-five into tde water, Cook five into the nest, but presently brought tour of these out and pitched them into the water too. The ants know their comrades af ter long separation. ,Sir John sepa rated one front his nest for a year. then brought him back, and with a " stranger " of the same species, marking them with paint for recog nition. The ants treated the stran ger nefariously, but welcomed their long-lost brother and wiped the paint otf him. There is a little yellow ant in England which regularly raises poultry ; it stores' up through' winter the eggs of sphides, which, ceing hatched in the spring, give them a good supply of provisions. The dif ferentiation of labor among them iemarkable; some being developed into soldiers, others of the same nest :is laborers, and others as C.0111M6" 4 :1- zint agents. Sir John fowl that , two particular ants were invariable; sent out to bring in rood placed at the door, and when these were re moved .by him, two iothers were ap pointed who came jifst as invariably, and so on so often as the special offi cials were removed. The ants keep a more various stock of animals for their provisions than Englishmen do ; and there are two tiny creatures—an aphis and a beetle—always found in their 'nests, but never eaten or used, "apparently their eat and dog. Slavery prevails, and there is no anti-slavery society.. But Sir .John remarked the evil ef fects of the system. The most de termined slavelialer is called " Pol yergus," a queer misnomer, since, the bloated-creature doesn't work at all. By employing slavds (which are Very black) this big red ,ant has lost all cleverness, all strength, and even his mandibles; he is perhaps the. only animal in nature that cannot• even feed hiniself,•but will (lie amid plen ty unless Sir .John sends in slaves every dap to cram_the food down his thr , ,at. It is the great class who , hold no slaves who .develop the marvellous intelligence and enter pri+! diTlaye•l by ants.---.U. D. Cua vw,os../...findint Lelterto the Cine . iniiati CohtiniVrcial. EITRIED CITIES IN CENTRAL ASIA An expedition to explore the -buri ed cities of Central Asia is talked of in Bombay and elsewhere in "India.

Y:Eredunft Post will be A read with profit by most readers: . :fhe relation, just': at this time, of the paper manufacture to the general• trade of this country and to our for eign commerce invests the industry with a peculiar interest. dull times found- the paper milts„produe- Mg more paper than tWc';'" people of the United States. wanted, and so.the Manufacturers of the • liner grades have not only reduCed production, but have put forth an effort to extend their business to forei , ru. countries. As a consequence of these steps, and alter judicious management, there have been no large failures, and the business is in a healthful condition. IL is in Much better condition,:, indeed, than during the years from 1`450 to 18 . 6.2, when several large firms were obliged to suspend. TUE PAPER MAjiING TOWN Holyoke, Massachusetts, is tht2 great centre of the manufacture Of tine writing paper in America—the, term " tine writing paper" including what is commonly known as writim paper, paper for blank d , books an envelopes, and the . better grades of wrapping paper. The whole produc tion daily in the, United States, when the milk are running on full time, is ninety-five tons or a little less, of which nearly forty tons ar6 made in-, liolyoke and South padely 'on the opposite hank of the Connecti cut River ; sixty-five tons a day are made within tiro or three hours' ride of Holyoke, and seventy-nine tonsin Western Massachusetts. The fathers made paper in this re gion fifty - years before 'the Revolu tion. In the first half of the present century there were mills in various IS'e.4terti - rMissachusetts town, and one at Sutlield Conneticut, and tely or twelve reams of paper a day, worth $.l 50 a ream, was-considered a good production : Ttie , first mill in Holooke was est4blished in f*s3 ht - Mr; .1. C. Parsons, though the manu facture existed previously just across the, river. Vroin his experiment has grown up the vast industry here. There seems to be no special reason why the manufacture of paper should' have engaged the attention of Holy oke capitalists so exclusively except that it originally got into 'strong hands and that its sucess provoked . competition. Thepurity of the - Water k, however, an important advantage. The Holyoke , company, founded after the PamsonkCompany, hal tile largest paper mill tinder one roof in- the country and din? . Of. the best egnipped in the world. One of its specialities is a "parchmthit letter paper,'', and another is bond paper of extraordinpi-Ty fineness and:toughness. ThiS bond paper, is said by its mann faCturers to he better for currency purposes than that which is used by the government, and dealers , in vari ous foreign countries are having an opportunity to look at .both of these kinds of taper in - the shape of sam ples. The Whitby,* mill, which pro duces about ten tons a dav good times, makes all the, pa per for tin' ,govviiment stamped envelopes. This paper is sent to the Plimpton Works, at liartford; wheri , i the envelopes are manufactured. This contract requires from one to one and a half tons a has been in operation about two vents, and will continue in force for i two years more. , SE . EKINU A FOREPIN MARKET A vigorous and systematic etrort is making., to create a market for American papers and paper-making machinery; in foreign countries, - and there are already illeouragincr si gns of success. A comhinatiOn of mann-. factures representing about tifty,tons a day have agreed. to sell to Wool- Worth & Graham of New York, - for export, two or three days' production each year at about a third less than the regular price,. and this firm is to have the, whole management of the whole scheme, pay all the expenses and incur all losses. Woolworth & Graham, accordingly, have sent agents to k t urupev the '\Vest Indies and South America, and are in vari ous other ways pushing 'the enter- Prise: The agreeinent ipto which these manufacturers have entered leaves them as free as ever to export on their own accamt, and probably hrs not interfered with effort in the leasti . but the terms on' schieh they sell Woolwo#ll Graham involve a loss to the makers, the expectation being,_of course, that tha success of the experiment will justify a small temporary sacrifice. • TILE GROWTH OF FOREIGN TRADE. The effect has already alarmed for eign manufacturers .sqmewhat; and piqued the euriosity - ot foreign pur chaser's to see trhat - thel. fr ankees are doing and can do. The British mak ers are already miffing an Qutery .against it, and are considering what they will do about it. The agitation of the subject is attested by thelarge and increasing number of letters froui 'other- countries Making inqui• ries about our paper, our terms and our methods or mantedeture. The Centennial Exhibition, UM, stimu lated competition and demonstrated the et that fine paper can be made here and sold at low prices. The leading. manufacturers insist 'their paper is superior to the most famous European kinds,..and several of the large concerns arc distributing samples all over Europe,' the 13/rest Indies and South America - to 'Con vince consiimers,of the fact. Single sheets of the Holyoke Paper Compa .ny's parchment letter paper," for example, are sent in great numbers to foreign lands. ••,o The export scheme wilt perhaps be considered successful, even if it ;falls short of estanlishing a large . for 'eigti market for our goods, it it puts an end to the importation or. paper. This it is faseAccomplishing.. For eign paper has lost its reputation . in' the market, and Atherican paper is. now generally preferred. The whims of purchasers, however, are still hu mored with "French" and "English" paper, a considerable amount of 'which is made in Holyoke: It is too soon to see the eireets of the work in ',charge of Woolworth hGraham as distinct from th r e_,general growth of exports over imports, far it was.. or ganized oniy last fall, but the Statis ties of our foreign commerce will show Which way, and how stroirdy, the current sets. Importation had reached its height in IW, when rthe value- of foreign paper of the better "class ' Drought to this country i as More than one million dollars,. while lowest point since thin was touched last year, 'only $5.994 worth being imported. There is a marked con trast eVen between 1.875 and 1876 the value of imports during the for mer year being $19,73?. In ISTI the imports amounted to $5f;,553, and in 1573 to $ . 14;3,2'2,. There was a favor able turn in exports in 1573. when they amounted to $510.53:3 worth . 'of " paper awl stationery.''. - 18:4 the amount *as i-)7 (;-2,: . in 151'5; $1;77,1;31 in I $.03‘,785. Thus it will be seen that our exports last year" were ..V,93,'755,- while our im ports Were only $5,994 ; and this branch of business. shows a mush larger proportional gain of exports over imports than our kfieirrif trade viewed as 'a whole..-. These figures cannot be taken, as perfectly accurate for the purpo,e, of comparison, how eVe.r, as the reports of the Bureau of Statistics are defective in classifying imports' and exports ditlerentlS - . 'They are nearly enough correct, how ever, to c.howthe tendenCies of the' trade.
