Still 1t Is well 10 remember that athletics

In later life we need not, however, dread

The aphis, one Of the most widely dis.
tributed species Of insects known to the en-
tomologists, is sometimes referred to as
the "ant's cow" The aphis actually gives
milk, although the creature itself is SO
small that 1t is estimated to weigh but the
one one -thousandth of a grain. Out Of
the back Of the aphis projects two hollow
tubes. These connect with ducts in tho
body, which secrete n sweet liquid. When
the tubes are touched, the liquid exudes in
small drops. The ants know this and they
make regular business of tickling tho
tubes of the little aphis to make her "give
down her milk" The ant is very fond of
this sacoharine food and will milk" q
