WONDERFUL THINGS
Diminutive Insects That WOuld Rule
the World II They Were
Large Enough.

If ants were large enough they would
rule the earth. As it is they predomi-
nate the politics of their own sphere,
and have many human characteristics.
The longest time for which an ant
sleeps is three and half hours. On
awakening they stretch their legs,
yawn, and then carefully clean them
selves by applying their legs to their
mouths and rubbing them over their
bodies, very much in the style OF a cat
washing her face; after which they
comb and brush their heads and bodies
with the natural comb which nature
gives them.
The most remarkable thing about this
is that almost every necessity for
which we are obliged in our case to em-
p!oy more or less complicated me-
chanical contrivances is provided for
by the physical structure of the ants.
Ants clean themselves both before
and after sleep, and also after eating.
Frequently one ant will lick and brush
another all over. limb by limb, the ant
operated on sprawling on her back. re-
taxing her muscles and abandoning her.
self to the enjoyment of the operation.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes, lizards. rats, mice. centipedes
and beetles.
They even kill the great African py-
thon. It is said that if python has
killed an animal, he does not gorge
himself with it till he has made wide
circuit, and satisfied himself that there
are no driver ants in the neighbor-
hood. If, however, he meets with any,
he abandons his prey to them, and dis
creetly retises. A certain species ac-
tually keeps cows, in other words, plant
lice. When the ants are hungry they
actually milk the aphides by tapping
them briskly on the sides of the alb
domen with their antennae till the
fluid exudes. when it is at once sucked
up by the ants.
They shut them up in cow houses
and use them for days.
Ants act as soldiers ina very real way,
and it is no stretch Of language to call
them pitched battles between ants OF.
the same species, and raids of one spe-
cies upon the nests of another, some-
times to carry off the larvae and pupac
as food "a modified form of cannibal-
ism). and sometimes to supply their
own nests with slaves.
Certain ants are agriculturists, and
allow ant-rice to grow up in a circle
round their nests, while every other
plant is carefully cut down as fast as
it appears. They sow the crop regular
". tend it, and harvest it. When the
seeds fall they are carried into the
nest. and the stubble is cleared away.
When the grain in the nest gets damped
by rain these ants carry it out into the
open to dry.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Twenty L..he. for SIX Hairs.

a singular theft was tried by Mr.
Beale, first-class magistrate, the other
day. superstitious Burmans pull out
the hairs of an elephants tail for talis-
mans, making rings out Of them and
other charms. One Nga Tun Lin went
into an elephants shed at Ahlone and
pulled six hairs out of bull elephants
tail, secreting them in his umbrella.
The mahout challenged him. and he
promptly shook the hairs out OF the
umbrella. They fell on some straw.

dence of theft. The man was convicted
and sentenced to receive 20 lashes.-
