Partnership Among Animals.

Professor Stewart, in a lecture,
gives some instances OF the curious
partnerships which IRE sometimes
formed In the animal world, the prln.
ciples OF which had been differentiated
by natural!sts under the term com.
mensalism. The organisms OF tho
lower animals are inter dependent.
and, like human beings, few OF them
ire able to live only for and by them.
selves.
There Is a hermit crab who carries
about with him attached to his shell,
or even to his claw, &c sea anemone.
When the crab feeds his partner
shares the feast, and, moreover, en-
Joys tic benefits OF free locomotlon,
though little able to move itself.
The parasite fully repays this service
by hiding the crab when he Is In
danger, aiding him to numb or kill
his prey, and when the time comes
for the crab to change his shell as
stating him to his new home.
Another example OF this spirit Of
communism Is found in the pro-
lection afforded the acacia tree OF
tropical America by colony Of ant
warriors. The acacia tree, finding
itself in danger OF destruction by
leaf cutting and other ants and in.
sects, enlists in its service tribe OF
ants, who are not only inno:uous,
but ready to fight for the plant and
keep of its enemies.
But the ants are true mercenaries
and will not serve without pay, and
for them the tree provides food and
shelter--hollow appendages (stipules)
to live in and nutrient fluids OH whicl,
they may feed. As soon US the foe
sets foot on the leaf stalk he Is rs.
sailed by the guardian ants and
either killed or compelled to beat a
hasty retreat.
