and TO the great disaster Of the rolling stock
and commodities carried. an investigation was made
TO see what could have caused the accident. The
treste was i'm no dangerous place. the most modern
engineering skill had been employed in its construc-
tion, and the iron bolts and timbers had seemed TO
be good for many years The investigation brought
out the fact that the wooden piers and supports
OF the trestle work had been literally honeycombed
by ants. They had cut passage after passage in
the wood building houses of many chambers. one
above the other. leaving only threadiike bits OF
the timber between with the result that there was
little strength left I'm the structure
Scientists then set about finding out more about
these little citizens who could DO 90 much damage
in such quiet way. Eager for the work, some
packed their grips and went 10 Texas to study the
agricultural ant in her own fields and some went
10 the Middle West to what the carpenter ant
