Flowers Preserved by Insects.

Insects are a necessity OF the life
of flowers, as they carry the pollen;
yet some destroy both plants and trees.
Here nature comes in with eXtraordin-
ary means of protection, as in the
Arum lily, where fibres like needles
and spikes force them to beat hasty
retreat. The Bulls Horn Thorn, an
Australian tree, is particularly well
protected against these marauders. AT
the end of each leaf is pair of hollow
horns, in which live small. fierce,
pugnacious species of ant, bribed to
the office Of defense by a generous
supply of food collected on the leaf
close to their cells. When destructive
insects come to carry away the foliage
of these trees the warlike inhabitants
spring out from their kopje-like fast
nesses, descend upon the invaders. kill
ing all who are not able to fpe.-LOn-
