THE SAGACITY or ANTs.-Mr. Nc
Bride Smith gives another remarkable
instance, coming under his obscrva-
ton, of tho sagacity Of ants. In order
to prevent these little pests from get
ting into the sugar bowl, it was sur
rounded by water. Finding that this
did not succeed in heading off these
predatory incursions, hc sat and
watched to observe in what way the
ants had overcome the difficulty.
Presently ono Of tho ants came down
TO the water, and boldly plunging in,
waited ut the edge. Not long after,
another ant, bearing grain of sugar,
followed, and when it reached the
water, perchcd itself upon the first
ants back, and was fcrricd across to
the opposite edge, holding its precious
burden carefully ont of the water all
the while. 1t then continued its jour
ney while the tcrryman swan back for
another passenger. This feat was pcY-
formcd.a number Of times in tho pros
ence Of several witnesses. Ants are
conceded to be the most intelligent
and sagacious Of all ineects. Whole
