Id the state of Colombia thero la a largo nut (Atta cephalotes) which causes n groat deal of Injury to planta tions. It attacks and carries off Indis criminately all kinds of foliage, and no sort of vegetation seems to come amiss to It. The quantity of foliage carried off by these ants Is Immense. A natu ralist recently Investigated tbe uses to whlcb tbe ants put tbls mass of vege table matter, and he ascertained that tbey employ It to make hotbeds upon which their eggs are deposited to be hatched by the heat produced by the fermentation of the leaves. The ants do not eat these portions for food, and the In r vie are fed upon a carefully selected diet Once tho brood Is hatched the ants cloar away the hotbed, carrying out of tbclr nest all the decomposed vegetable matter. This is thrown out In heaps apart, and In the large ant hills these heaps will contain bushels and upward. Thfl Flrat Knvllah Slave Trader. Sir John Hawkins was tho first Eng llsii slavo trader. He formed a com pany composed of the leading men of London and lit ted out throo small ships, which sailed In 1502. Later Queen Elizabeth lent Ilawklus Jesus, r large ship of her own. of 700 tons, and took shares In tho Becond African company. Sho not only equlp|>ed the ship, but put 100 soldiers on board to provide for contingencies. On the socond voyage Hawkins bought 400 negroes and had a narrow escape from losing them ow ing to tho lack of water when ho was near the equator. Hut, as he piously recorded In his log, "Tho Almighty Cod would not suffer his elect to perish nnd sent a breeze which carried them safe to Dominica." This was tho beginning of the slave trade, which lasted for nn>re than two centuries before It was* finally suppressed. Tarlaua of Scotch I'lana. Many Scotch clans have several tar tans, such as a common tartan, a hunt ing tartan and a full dress tartan. Ear ly In the day a hlghlander of position dons a kilt of plain tartan, and In the evening for dinner he puts on his full drees tartan, with sporran and richly Jeweled dirk. Tor example, the Mac pherson dress tartan Is black and white, with a narrow red line, nnd the hunting Macphereon Is a small blue nnd black and red check. The Stuarts have three tartans, and the design of their hunting tartan la dark blue nml green Is particularly fine. Each clan has Its own badge. The Duff uien wear holly, the Gordous an Ivy leaf, the Stuarts an.oak leaf, nnd so on. lireton and Wellfc.
