Where White Ants Are Useful. white ant's nest is about tbe last thing ln the world one would expect to be of practical service to mankind, yet in Western Australia white anta and their nests are put to a variety of economic uses. ln the first place, the aborigines sometimes eat the ants, and there are even a few white residents who have tasted them, for the sake of experience, and say they are not bad. But it is not a habit with tbe aborigines to eat the insects; they prefer to devour the mold out of which the anta build their nest. Capital ovens are frequently improvised by the Australian prospector out of these white ant mounds. They make a solid floor, almost like cement, for the settlers huts, and in the township of Derby, in western Australia, they have been turned to profitable tise by being rolled ln as a top layer on the public roads.

A slight pause, and his voice is lifted In a solemn chant: "How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people? How is the mistress of the nations become as a widow; the princess of provinces made the tributary? Surely there never was a strain of music so full f human sadress, and yearning as this chant with Its culminating refrain, "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! be convened to the I.ord, thy God.

But the singing stops, the recitation of the Psalms Is resumed, and the crowd shifts and Is restless again. Conversations are going on all about us. A party of Italian women of the middle class, with handkerchiefs thrown over their beads and tired children clinging to their skirts, are discussing family affairs ln an animated stage whisper just behind us, and near by a young French girl with a face like, a flower is gesticulating vehemently to emphasize tne story she is telling to an elderly woman beside her, all the sparkle of her bright eyes, however, beirg directed toward yonder officer in Hue and silver, who leans contentedly against the wall, watching her with his dark eyes.
