SOUTH AMERICAN ANTS.

They Are Perhaps the Greatest Rond
Builders In the World.
The greatest road builders in the
world are species of red ants found
In South America. In building Il road
they carry minute particles CT clay,
with which they line all the roads as
well as the galleries and passages of
their nests till they look as smooth as
if cemented by Il master mason. Some
idea of their number can be formed
when it is remembered that the whole
Of this road to their tree, perhaps near
ly half n mile long: Is dcnscly thronged
with Il multitude going out empty and
coming back With their umbrella like
burdens, while thousands upon thou
sands swarm in the doomed tree.
That this vast army is under the best
discipline can be proved by watching
them for only a few moments. The
drivers are constantly running up and
down giving their orders to the work
ers. which they do by touching heads
for Il moment. The individual so
touched vii! stop, turn back, hurry for
ward or show in some such way that
he is following some command. But
A better proof of the discipline is found
in the fact that when the army meets
with an obstacle, such as log or n
large stone, there is n jam of ants OH
both sides. and they run about In dis
may and disorder. Instantly the driv-
ers hurry up, showing the greatest ex-
element. and run over. around and I'M
der the impeachment TO find the best
way out of the difficulty. When they
have decided they lead of the line of
march in the proper direction. But
until they take this step the workers
make no attempt to pass the obstacle.
When selection of a level piece of
ground has been made a perpendicular
shaft some eight inches in diameter
and six or seven feet deep is formed

Schools of NluIlct.

Mullet, the food fish which the larger
portion of the game fish live upon and
which they follow about, are found in
enormous schools in the ocean. A
small section-say $4,000 or 10000
will find their way in the lake looking
for food, and Il corresponding section
of the attendant school of bluefsh will
follow them. When these fish once get
in the gill nets trollers can make no
appreciate impression upon them, no
matter how hard they fish, and this
small detachment is not 1 per cent of
the school from which 1t strayed.-
