Ants That Fight Spiders.

Few more wonderful adaptations are
seen in the whole round of nature
than the webs spiders spin to entrap
the wary ant. They are not high hung,
lacy affairs. caressng every breeze. but
low set, silken tubes stretched in the
grass. the creviceS Of rock or about
tree roots. Ants of every size creep
heedlessly into them. The spiders eat
them with relish, but occasionally a
very little spider and a very big ant
engage in duel to the death If the
spider can bite, the ant can sting, and
does it with n right good will. The
spider does not try to get rid of such an
ant as he does Of a wasp or bee too
strong to be safely attacked. Such an
insect which threatens destruction to
the web, is often cut out of ii by the
web builders. The entangling cables
are not loosed, but the web rays neatly
shipped in two, first those underneath
and at the very last the highest fila
ment Often the letting go of such
captive means destruction to half the
nest. But some spiders are wiser than
some people. They know not merely
when they have enough, but when they
have too much.
