Savages, we know, indulge In such
luXuries rs grubs and locusts, but for
civilized white man to finish up his
dinner with n dish of raw ants seems
too nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico
1t is the custom-and n custom adopted
by plenty Of colonials and visitors. The
ant eaten is called the honey ant and
is perhaps us curious an insect rs lives
With n tiny head and legs, it has a
huge body as big as large pea, and
this is yellow and swollen with excel
lent honey. In each nest there are 800
or 400 Of these honey ants, which are
attended by thousands Of others. The
honey ants hang on to the roofs of the
cells In the nest while the others feed
them. They are, In fact, living store
houses of winter food. An observer
says that If one of the honey ants falls
from his perch n worker will go and
pick him up and replace him. This
feat is equivalent to Il man walking up
the face Of cliff carrying large buff
falo or cart horse on his back.

Boston owes its name to Roman
Catholic saint. Early in the seventh
century Catholic monk named DO
tolph founded church In what is now
Lincolnshire, England.
AS the years went by town grew
up around the church and was called
Botolphstown. This was shortened for
convenience into Botolphston, then to
Botoston and finally to Boston. John
Cotton came to America from that
town and named the New England
capital after his native village.
