ANTS THAT PLANT CROPS.

Entomologists recently have been
making a study OF certain ants, found
in Texas and northern Mexico which
seem to be the most remarkable In
sects OF their kind in existence. They
have communal farms. which they
plant with grain every spring. reaping
the harvest in the autumn. and storing
1t away in their subterranean granar-
les. Apparently, they depend for their
subsistence almost wholly upon this
crop.
In parts of Sonora the farms Of these
ants cover tracts that extend over
many square miles, and practically the
only vegetation is the seed bearing
grass planted by the insects. Each
settlement is plainly indicated to the
view by a circular patch Of bare
ground from 1 to 80 feet in diameter,
around which is broad strip OF the
growing grain in summer. In the GEN.
ter Of the bare patch is hole, leading
down to an elaborate system OF rooms
and galleries beneath the surface.
On the bare patch no sprout of any
growing thing is permitted to show
itself-the reason. as surmised. being
that plants in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the nest would interfere with
the activities of the inhabitants and
afford shelter to possible enemies,
while the roots would be liable to pen
trate the underground galleries.
The gateway is opened every morn
ing and closed every evening. II a
storm threatens It Is shut.
The communal dwelling below
ground is most complicated and very
extensive, being divided up into work.
ing rooms. living rooms, granaries and
nurseries for rearing the larvae. All
of the rooms are connected by galleries
and usually they have dome shaped
ceilings the walls and floors being
carefully smoothed and covered with
a sort Of plaster. AS a rule. there is
one large storage room, about twoI
Inches in length, and there are many
smaller grainbins, some Of which are
sealed when full.
In the autumn, when the grain IL
ripe, the worker ants go out into their
titled fields and pick up the seeds
which have fallen. These they carry to
the "formicary," holding them in their
Jaws, and, while the harvest is in prog
ress, each of several straight roads
which radiate from the nest is occu-
pied by double column Of the in
sects, one line moving outward into
the field, and the other going toward
the communal domicile, laden. After
the crop has been gathered the stubble
Is cleared away by the ants with their
Jaws. in preparation for the next
springs planting-though how the lat
ter process is performed nobody has
definitely ascertained.

ONE GENERAL REMEDY.
It Operates as Effectively For the FAT
as the Lean.

The pretty stenographer had
never worked for physician before,
and hence, when on this first morn
ing Office hours began, she settled
back in her chair to listen with as
much interest as though she were at
q matinee. The first patient was
a young man whose padded coat
would not conceal the narrowness of
his shoulders and the weakness of
his chest. He was very puny
young man indeed.
Doctor" he said, 81 want to get
fat. | want to resemble a man
rather than lead pencil. I want
to wear bathing suit without
shame"
The physician answered: ''Rise
at Z o'clock and exercise an hour
with chest weights and Indian clubs.
Then take a cold bath and break
fast without coffee or tea. During
the day contrive somehow to get a
two hours walk and sleep at least
nine hours night. Don't smoke.
If you follow these directions, you'll
gain ten pounds in a month"
After the thin young man had
gone fat young woman entered.
Doctor" she said, "make me
thin. Take off most of this too
solid flesh. Let me wear straight
front like other girls"
The doctor prescribed: "Rise at
7 o'clock and exercise an hour.
Then take cold bath and for
breakfast have no coffee or sweets.
Get a two hours walk during the
day and sleep at least nine hours
every night. You'll lose ten pounds
month if you obey me-"
The patient left, and the stenog-
rapher asked the doctor how it was
he prescribed for leanness and for
fatAess the same thing. Because, :"
he said, chat thing is exercise and
exercise makes you right. 1t makes
you, if you are too thin, stouter, and
if you are too stout, thinner. 1t is
