In these castles the termites are
safe against the heavy showers of the
rainy season as well as against the fire.
quent prairie fires. To the natives the
hills are OF great use in hunting, since
they afford good cover, without
which hunting in many districts
would be altogether impossible. They
also furnish good building material.
Franz Leusehner says in one OF his let
ters from Togoland: THE termites,
in constructing their hills, bring up
from the depth of the ground the clay,
which the blacks like to use in the con-
struction of their huts. This clay,
which is quite hard, IS mixed with
particles of grass and wood and IS so
thoroughly lIneaded with the saliva Of
the termites that 1t possesses great
durability. Since the ternite hill is
often twenty feet high it furnishes ma
terial for many hUts." The Europeans
frequently follow the example of the
natives, and the houses Of the Scot
tish missionary station on Lake
Nyassa are built with material from one
termite hill. Leuschner even tells us
that his travelling companions used the
hills as ovens, and he recommends
their use for this purpose to every
African traveller. The ant hills in
South Africa have also often been used
for this purpose by the English
troops, who followed them out and
plastered the walls OF the cavern with
clay.
II the termites inhabit hill. one can
watch its daily growth. When Bucholz
near Akkra, on the gold coast
knocked of the top of one of these hills,
the warriors Immediately sailed forth
10 defend their castle while the labor
ers withdrew 70 the inner recesses. Re-
turning after an hour, Buchholz found
the laborers busy patching up the
holes, which work was finished next
day.
Deserted termite hills are also Of
great interest to the naturalist, since
they afford quarters for d variety of
animals. The termites themselves are
a fav0rite dish of the natives. In the
Lulua station, which Lieut.. Wissnann
founded on his Kassai expedition,
quart of termites cost ten brass nails,
while for quart Of rice or beans only
eight brass nails was paid
The termites, in spite Of their raw
ages in human habitations, are not
without use in the economy of nature.
In tropical Africa the worm is pre-
vented from work during the.greater
part of the year. His soft body cannot
dig through the ground, which be-

the wa rTiors they are also defenssless,
and this is the reason why they are so
rarely seen. Yet they have to leave
their subterranean abodes and look for
deadwood, If they do not want to
Btsrve.
If one chances TO observe such an in.
sect on one of its exploring tours he
may enjoy Temarka ble sight. 1t goes
ahead slowly, but steadily. There is a
small opening in the ground, out Of
which emerges little head with
piece of earth In its mouth. The piece.
Is deposited, and soon 4 second head
appears with another particle, which
is covered with a glutinous secretion.
This is being glued to the first building
stone and IN this way the untiring la
borers build al earthen tube, while the
warriors guard the opening and defend
the same against other hostile insects.
The building OF this passageway Is con-
tinued until 1t strikes a piece CT dead
wood. Then the terInites bore into the
latter and destroy the inside, leaving
the surface untouched. These tube
passages are even more remarkable
taan the hills. They have the diane
ter of an ordinary gaspipe and run up
the trunks to the higher branches OF
she trees until, after many zig-zag
lines. withered limb is encountered.
In some parts Of the country, like on
the plateau between Lake NyasSa and
Tamganyka. one can wander for hours
and sep every tree eov~ral with tleSa
tube passages.
The white ants are very orderly. In
the park landscapes Of Central Africa
a certain cleanliness may be noticed.
Everything looks as IL il had been
swept clean, and one asks himself in
who the sweepers are.
And indeed there are al sorts OF
creatures who are ever busy at re-
moving all remains, from the dead
moth 70 the elephant; and whatever
they don't eat, they bury in the
ground The termites 90 this service
