ANTS AND THEIR COWS.

Unparalleled and unique in the animal
kingdom as this history may appear, you
will scarcely deem the next have to relate,
less singular and less worthy of admiration.
That ants should have their mich cattle, is
as extraordinary as that they should have
slaves. Here, perhaps, you may again
feel fit of incredibly shake you; but the
evidence for the fact am now stating being
abundant and satisfactory, l Aatter myself
it will not shake you long.
The loves of the ants and the aphides
(for these last are the kinds in question,
having long been celebrated ; and that there
is connection between them, you may, at
any time, in the proper season, convince
yourself; for you will always find the for
mer very busy in those trees and plants in
which the latter abound; and if you exam
inc them closely, you will discover that their
object in attending thus upon them, is to
obtain the saccharine fluid, which may well
be denominated their milk, that they Sc
crete.
This fluid, which is scarcely inferior to
honey in sweetness, issues in limpid drops
from the abdomen of these insects, by two
setiorm tubes, placed one on each side
Their sucker being inserted in the tender
bark, is without intermission employed in
absorbing the sap, which, after it has passed
through the system they keep continually
discharging by these organs. When no ants
attend them, by certain jerk of the body
which takes place at regular intervals, they
calculate 1t to distance; but when the
ants are at hand, watching the moment
when the aphides emit their fluid, they sieze
and suck it down Immediately. This, how
absolutely possess the art of making then
yield it at their pleasure; or, in other words
of milking them. On this occasion, then
antennw (feelers) are their fingers will
these they pat the abdomen of the aphs OF
each side alternately, moving them very
busily; little drop of fluid immediately
appears, which the ant takes into its mouth
one species (Myrmica rubra,) conducting i
with its antenne, which are somewha
swelled at the end. When it has thus milk
ed one, il proceeds to another, aud so on
till being satated, it returns to the nest.
Not only the aphides yield this rePast Il
the ants, but also the cocci, with whom the.
have recourse to similar man9uvres, ant
with equal success, only in this case, thu
movement of the antenn9 over their bod
may be compared to the trill OF the hinge
over the keyes of piano forte.
But you have not arrived at the most SIN
gular part of this history-that ants make
property of these cows for possession c

stranger ants attempt to share their treas
ure with them, they endeavor to drive them
away, and may be seen running about in
great hustle, and exhibiting every symptom
of solicitude and anger. Sometimes, to
rescue them from their rivals, they take
their aphides in their mouth they generally
keep guard around them; and when the
branch is conveniently situated, they have
recourse to an expedent still more effectual
to keep off interlopers--they enclose it in a
tube of earth or other materials, and thus
con6ne them to a kind of paddock near the
net, and often communicating with it,
The greatest cow-keeper Of all the ants
is one to be met with in NEST Of our pas
lures, England residing in hemispherical
formicaries, which are sometimes of consid-
cradle diameter. mean the 5eiow ant OF
Gould. (F fdoa.) This species, which
is not fond of roaming from home, and like
to have all its conveniences within reach,
usually collects in its nest large herd of
kind of aphis, that derives its nutriment
/ from the roots of grass and other plants,
/ (Aphis radicum,) these it transports from
the neighboring roots, probably by subter-
ranean galleries, excavated for the purpose,
leading them from the nest in all directions ;
and thus, without going out, it has always
on hand copious supply of food. These
creatures share its care and solictude equal
ly with its own offspring. To the eggs it
pays particular attention, moistening them
with its tongue, carrying them in its mouth
with the utmost tenderness, and giving them
the advantage of the sun.
Our yellow ants are equally careful OF
their aphides. After they are Matched, when
their nest is disturbed conveying them into
the interior; fighting fercely for them if
the inhabitants of neighboring formicaries,
as is sometimes the case, attempt to make
them their prey, and carrying thom about in
their mouths to change their pasture, or for
some other purpose. When we consider
that from them they receive almost their
whole nutriment, both of themselves and
larvD, you will not wonder at their anxiety
about them, since the wealth and prosperity
of the community is in proportion to the
number oftheir cattle.-Kirby and Spence S

THE CITY OF MEXICO.

This famous capital, now at the mercy of
General Scott, is thus described in Murray's
Encyclopedia of Geography, p. 523-4;
The State of Mexico comprises the val
ley of Mexico, fine and splendid region,
variegated by extensive lakes, and surround
ed by some of the loitiest volcanic peaks of
the world. Its circumference is about 200
miles, and it forms the very centre of the
great table land of Anahuack, elevated from
5000 to 5000 feet above the level of the
sea- In the centre of this valley stands the
city of Mexico; the ancient Mexico, or Te-
nochttlan, having been built in the middle
of the lake, and connected with the CONT
nent by extensive causeways or dykes. To
new Mexico is three miles from the lake OF
Tezcuco, and nearly six from that of Chal-
ca yet Humboldt considers it certain, from
the remains of the ancient teOcalh, or tenn
pies, that it occupies the identical position
of the former city, and that a great part o
the waters of the valley have been dried up
