Ant Colonies.

An ant nest or colony arises from
eggs laid by one or more queens. "
The developing young are tended by
the sexlcss neuters. or workers" The
maggots. or larval ants, are fed by
them. often nourished out OF the
nurses mouths, and are as carefully
watched In respect OF the temperature
and other conditions OF the nurseries
as are iufantile human beings. When
full development occurs the pupae
change into ants which are either
winged or wingless. The latter are the
''neuters," or workers. They may de-
vclop biz Jaws ana appear as the "sol-
diers' OF the colony Those which are
winged are the founders OF new colo
niles They are OF both sexes and they
produce the eggs whence the new zen.
erations win be evolved.
