The king and queen would grow, but the workers
would remain the same size and they took care TO
leave plenty room for themselves, for they would
have to be running in and out constantly. AS soon
as the royal cell was finished, the king and
queen were led into it, workers. with their
curious small. rounded hea dS and short man
dbles, hurried out to fetch the soldiers.
The soldiers easily distinguished by their
big heads and long mandibleS. They dlG not move

nearly much TO do. The workers had 10 dig

guard and protect the community from danger
In a wonderfully short time the new colony was IN
perfect working condition. and everything Went on

Almost as soon as things were settled. the queen
began laying eggs, and she laid on an average
five six thousand a day TIE workers were kept
busy. AS soon the eggs were laid. in came the
workers and carried them off carefully TO the
specially prepared nurseries, where the soldiers
kept careful guard them and where ants

the first sign OF danger. shaking their heads ana
palpi in a threatening manner. always lay care

after the others took food TO the royal couple
and that the cell and passages were kept in

A ROYAL COUPLE.
BY ELLEN VELKIN


There had been heavy rains and all nature had
been weeping. But the sun peeped out at last,
and with the sun appeared a swarm of tiny winged
insects, which. flying hlther ana thllhef met eII
fate in various ways.
Some found their graves in the bodies OF birds,
who greedily devoured them; some, attracted by
the bright lights few inside houses; while others
fulfilled their various cestnies, when were helleF

4 Young couple after flying some distance with
the swarm at last went off together They were
very young for only short time ago they had
been the Larvae of termites (white ants)- Almost
as soon as they Matched they had been led
politely to the door by the workers Of the nest,
and It had been sintimated TO them that they could
go their way. They had been on the wing almost
ever since but at last they very tired. and
dropping TO the ground, shook their wings repeat
edly These wings dropped of, leaving tiny stuTlps
and the little creatures began 10 run about the
ground In that quick, light way which all ants
have.
As Il happened they had dropped close to
small termite burrow and the little workers inside
rushed out 10 welcome the newcomers. The new
eomers each had eyes. which proved that they were
perfect insects but the workers were quite bhnd.
In spite Of this they found their way about easily,
made great fuss over the strangers, and took
them inside the burrov.
Then began great preparations. The occupants
Of the burrow hustled about, to and fro, and
never rested until they had accomplished their
task This task was the building Of a royal cell.
for the young couple were 10 be made king and
queen and a colony 70 be formed.
The royal cell was made in the very middle Of
the burrow and was more than twice as large

though the cell Itself SO large ana lofty the
passages leadiug in and out were too small for the
royal couple ever 10 get out again The termites

Billy thought strapped to their backs, in which
to ride. The camels had also been
fixed up, and from four to six horses, with waving
plumes their heads, had been hitched 10 each
circus wagon.
At another signal from the bugle they all started
to move led by men and women performers,
dressed in their best spangled velvet suits Then
came what Billy thought to be the best thing in the
procession. golden chariot drawn by twelve Shet-
land ponies each pony ridden by aitte boy pos

beautiful little golden haired girl dressed as a
queen, with a diamond crown on her head.
