A GREAT CURTosITY.-We have often heard of
the honey anti of Texas, but the account SEEM
ing so romantic we have heretofore hardly been
able to credit it, but as we now Nave a specimen
before us, furnished by our friend Leo Smith of
this city, we can no longer have doubts on the
subject. These ants are medium size between
the large and the small red ants, and are of
redish brown color. Appended to the rear of each
one, is translucent sack or globe filed with pure
clean honey of a most delicious favor. The sack
varies in size on different ants, ranging between
the sizes of a buck shot and common navy pistol
ball On this sack, at short intervals, are attached
thin layers about the length and width of half a
stregthen it and keep it in shape. These interest,"
ing animals when they crawl, draw their delicious
load after them, and if the sack is opened the
honey runs out and they set themselves to work
to replenish it again. Whether they deposit this
honey in their great general reservoir among the
rocks, to draw from it as occasion may require,
hold and use it as individual property, we are not
informed. Here is a curiosity that we believe has
heretofore escaped the eye and pen of our cele-
brated naturalists.-[San Antonio Ledger.
