A traveller In South Africa Witnessed
mot long since a singular combat He
was muslng one morning, with his eyes
ON the ground. when he noticed a cat
erplllar crawling along at rapid rate.
Pursuing him was q host Of small
black ants
Being quicker in their movements,
the ants would catch up with the cater.
nIIlar. and one would mount his back
ana bite him, pausing, the caterpillar
would turn his head and bite and XII
Ma tornentor. After Strengthening .
dozen or more OF his prosecutors the
caterpillar showed signs OF fatigue.
The ants made combined attack. Be
taking himself to a stalk OF grass, the
caterpillar climbed up the tree tail hrst'
followed by the ants. AZ one approach
ed he seized Il in his jaws and threw it
or the stalk
The ants. seeing that the caterpillar
had too strong n position for them TO
overcome, resorted to strategy. They
began saving through tlp grass stalk.
In n few minutes the stalk fell, and
hundreds OF ants pounced upon the
fallen caterpillar. He was killed at
once. and the yictors marched on In
great triumph. leaving the foes body

TIE shirt waist Girl.

The shirt waist girl. like the long

threatened with extinction. But the
shirt waist girl. like the others, just as
perpetually and perennially persists, :
as the evolutionary scientists have It.
One OF the most Interesting phases OF
the shirt waist girl question, at least to
the unInItiated observer and admirer,
man, Is that which Is evidenced by Der
perennially changing form. Just at the
present time the newspapers and the
fashion advertisements have acquaint-
ed this peculiar. wondering creature
