Ant sIaxehoIdera.

Many of the large red ants are slave
holders. and, oddly enough, their slaves
are invariably black. much as is the
case with the human race. When
slaves are desired by q colony Of ants.
a regular army Of invasion Is formed,
and skirmishers and scouts are sent on
ahead to discover a nest of black ants
This having been found, the warrior
ants-insects quite different from the
ordinary workers, with powerful jaws
set out to invade their neighbor's ter
ritory and carry away the eggs and
pupR to their own nests. A fierce bat
tie ensues, but the invading ants are
always victorious.
On returning to their own colony the
young of their defeated foe are taken
into their nests and carefully treated
until they arrive at maturity, when
they become the willing bondsmen OF
the conQuerors of their parents, doing
all the hardest work of the community,
even to the length of feeding their cap
tors. The latter. however, is not en-
tirely a needless humiliation to subject
them to. as some species of slavehold-
ing ants are incapable of feeding them
selves and would die of starvation in
the midst of plenty were 1t not for
their slaves.-Kansas City Independ-
