Ants That Protect Trees.

The ant has always been an object
of interest to man. ever since the days
the sluggard was referred to 1t. Tiny
as ants are. they display SO many I'M
usual and apparently intelligent move
meuts that they might be accused OF
thinking a good deal, II 1t wasn't for
the danger of nature taking. There Is
a tree In South America. a beautiful.
tropical growth with Latin name.
which is protected by a kind OF ant
which seems to have been placed as
a garrison Of defense BY some wise
provision Of nature. Some OF these
ants may always be found doing SEN
try duty around the large leaves OF the
trees. and they serve to protect the
leaves from the !eafcntt!ng ant. an
other species which is disastrous to
vegetation. At the approach Of these
leaf-cutting ants. the ants which guard
the tree appear in great numbers and
clean up the invaders.
