INTELLIGENCE OF AN ANT.

Ants furnish us with numerous
proofs of their intelligence and
their prodigious industry. So re-
mote from man from the anatom-
ical point of view, they are Of all
animals those whose psychic fac
ulties bring them nearest TO him.
Sociable, like him, they have un-
dergone an evolution parallel to
his which has placed them at the
head of insects in the same way
ms he has become superior to all
other mammals. The brain iG
ants, as in man, has undergone
disproportionate development.
Like man, they possess a language
which enables them to combine
heir efforts. and there is no hui
man industry in which these in
sects have not arrived at high
degree of perfection. If in certain
parts of the earth human societies
are superior to those Of ants, in
MANY others the civilization of
ants is notably superior. No vii

classiications separate these in

TALE OF THE ALBATRoss.


Ofall the strange creatures seen

This great feathered wanderer,
sometimes measuring IL feet from

a ship for days At time. Some
travellers and sailors declare that
they have seen particular bird fly
for weeks at time without rest

been bird of mystery. and in an
cient times the people believed
that these unwearYing seabirds
were the companions Of the Greek
warrior Diomedes, who were said
to have been changed into birds at
the death of their chief.
Though the superstition about
the killing of an albatross bring
