ANTS WERE THROWN OUT

And seemed inclined to leave their work,
but soon turned instead to a grass-plant
growing near, the long, narrow leaves OF
which ran close together. They chose the
nearest, and weighted its distal end with
damp earth until its apex just bent down
to the space to be covered. Unfortunately,
the bend was too close to the extremity,
and it threatened to break. To prevent
this misfortune the ants gnawed at the base
of the leaf until it bent along its whole
length and covered the space required.
But, as this did not seem to be quite
enough, they heaped damp earth beneath
the base of the plant and that of the leaf,
until the latter was sufficiently bent. After
they had attained their object, they heaped
on the buttressing leaf the materials re-
quired for building the arched roof.
This observation naturally leads to two
others by two different observers. Thus,
Moggridge says 81 was able to watch the
operation Of removing roots which had
pierced through their galleries, belonging
to Seeding plants growing on the surface,
and which was performed by two ants, one
pulling at the free end of the root, and the
other gnawing at its pores, where the strain
was greatest, until at length it gave way"
Again, as previously quoted in another con-
nection, he says that two ants sometimes
combine their efforts, one stationing itself
near the base of footstalk and gnawing at
the point of greatest tension, while the
other hauls upon and twists it.
McCook says of the harvesters of Amer
lea that they dislike shade, SO that if a
tree grows up in their vicinity and casts a
shadow over their nest they forthwith
migrate. He gives in this connection a
statement which

species of Eciton are
TOTALLY BLIND,


And the habits of these differ from those
above described in that they march ex-
clusively under covered roads or tunnels.
The van of the column is constantly en-
gagged in rapidly constructing the tunnels
through which the army or regiment ad-
vances as quickly as they are made. Under
the protection of these covered ways the
ants travel at a surprising rate, and, when
they reach retton log or other promising
hunting ground, they pour into all the
crevices, ETC., in search of prey. Bates
says; "The blind Ecitons, working in
numbers, build up simultaneously the sides
OF their convex arcades, and contrive in a
wonderful manner to approximate them
and mt In the key-stones without letting
the loose, uncemented structure fall to
pieces. There was very clear division of
labor between the two classes of neuters in
these bind species. The large-headed class
act as soldiers, defending the working COM
munity like soldier termites) against all
corners. Whenever / made a breach in
one of their covered ways, all the ants un-
derneath were set in commotion, but the
worker-mi remained behind to repair
the damage, while the large-heads issued
forth in most menacing manner" Ebrard
records in his Etudes de Meurs an OBJ
seryation of his own on Il. tuscG. The
ants were engaged in building walls, and
when the walls were nearly completed
there still remained an interspace of twelve
or fifteen millimeters to be covered in.

Mr.. Frank Prewitt, of whose de-

mention in our issue of the 1lth.

make our politcst bow and return
her sincere thanks to Mrs. Emma
Barney for q choice selection OF
shrubs, plants, rose bushes, vines,
&C., to replace those destroyed by
the overflow. Mrs. Evans, Of French

Can't Please Everybody.

The man who finds Jomething in a
newspaper that doesn'tsuit him, and
s,raightway concludes he will break
it down by Withdrawing his patron
age, had his attention called to the
following bit of philosophy, which is
floating about on journalistic high
seas: There is nothing speculative
in well established newspaper pro-
pcrty. y newspaper is hard to build
up, but it is proportionately diiiicult
to pull down. 1t is an aggregation
of atoms, and its segregation under
the most favorable circumstances
takes years and years. The fact that
it depends on thousands of custom
ers for success is its protection. No
two groups of men think alike, and
what displcses one set pleases anoth-
er. Even imprudent management
cannot seriously injure a newspaper,
so long as it does not tread on the
toes of too many of its readers at
the same time. Where it loses in
one direction it gains in another"
