It turn- ed out that some of tbe boarders at the Royal hotel had been awakened by emoke in their rooms, and had thought the hotel to be on fire. It transpired that no fire could be found in the building, and most of the citizens went home with the impression that it was a false alarm. this was not the case however. Mr. Weir, in looking pushed openthe around door of ot J. A. Olack he smoke, bake.ehop, and going in found the furn• ace alight and smoke pouring from the door. He also noticed a light showing tbrougb the cracks in the floor. Pulling up a board he found a lighted candle stuck on a board among a lob of refuse ou the top of an old brick bake -oven. He palled the attention of Mr. Clark and others to it. They look the candle out and, after talking a while, were about to go away, when fire broke out over the ice cream booths, whish -consist of a wooden shell built up within the ebop. On the top of this was a lot of old bask- ets, eto. Tbe fire bad bees very cleverly laid, a candle being pat in a box in such a way that after burning for a time it would catch a lot of paper. Had this not been noticed it would certainly have burned the building and the family liv- ing above would have bad a bard time to get out. The furnace had been start• ed so that it would appear that the fire had originated there. The incendiary however, did not seem to know how to arrange the drafts, so that the furnace smoked, and the smoke, penetrating the hotel, caused an alarm before the fire caught. It was n moat villainous scheme and it is fortunate that it miscarried, as not only the bakery but probably the hotel and seed.etore on the other aide, would have gone and many lives been endangered. Mr. Clark had no suspic- ion whatever of who theguilty party wee. Some time ago the bank door was buret in with a stick of wood and a lot of sponge taken out of the trough and spread over the floor, so that some one seems to bear a grudge against kir. Clark. At his instance, Coroner Smith held an inquest on the fire. THE BRUSSELS POST sbrzmtaneetnrltnstar— feeding, The sober 05200 netfosd the (land arils and owned iuu0ll perplexed.

The number of ants dwelling together in a community, according to Sir Jelin Lubbock, is sometimes as great as five hundred thousand. They are always friendly towards each other no quarrels ever having been observed between two ants, members of the same community. They are however, very exclusive, and regard an immigrant} with horeer. When an ant of the same species belonging to another neat appears among them, he is promptly taken by the leg or antenna and put out. It would naturally bo sur- mised that Male distinction was made by some communieatimr. To test whether they could recognize each other without signs, attempts were made to render them insensible, first by chloroform and afterward by whiekey. "None 0f the ants would voluntarily degrade them- selves by getting drunk." Finally fifty ante were taken, twenty.five from one community and twenty.flvs from another, and dipped into whiskey until intoxicat- ed. They were then appropriately Welt- ed with a epee of pellet and pieced on a table where the ante Prem one nest were KE@lDALL'S ,SPAV14 CURE MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY 'FOR MAN OR BEAST.
