Ant Strength.

An English scientist recently weighed
small ant and dead grasshopper
which it was dragging to It's nest. The
weight of the grusshopper was found
to be sixty times greater than that Of
the ant. The force eXerted by the ant
in dragging the grasshopper along the
road was therefore proportionately
equal to that Of man weighing $50
pounds pulling load of four and one
half tons or a horse Of 1000 pounds a
load of th1rtysiX tons.
