LANGUAGE OF ANTS.
Toa May Not UnIerstand 1t Eu. the
Insects Do.

Toa May Not Understand 1t Eut ths
Insects Do.
Youths Companion thinks it is nc
longer necessary to prove the ex.
istence OF language among insects.
What is now oi interest is to find
out, II we can. the extent and limits
OF their language and tho ideas and
inferences to which II gives rise.
1t is still a question, however, in
what way communication Is opened
and kept up. Is It by rubbing the
antenne together' The movements
of the insects make this seem reason
able, yet a professor OF natural his
tory, in Prussia recently stuted that
ants are provided with n sounding
apparatus resembling that OF the
wasp. by means OF which faint sounds
suited to the oars OF the ants are
produced. This remains to be
proved.
How is it that these small Great
ures can venture far from the hest,
distances that are relatively enor-
nous. and never hesitate about the
road to take when they wish to re-
trace their steps? Learned men who
have studied the matter attribute
the power to the formic acid given
out by the insect as 1t travels, so
that it finds its way IN exactly the
same way that fox or u dog does.
