ANTS PROTECT PLANT.
How They Defend it Against Leaf.
 destroying Insects.

A standing army of ants for de- fensive purposes Is kept and provided with food by a sensitive plant of Nica- ragua. In this acacia there are two large thorns at the base of each leaf inhabited by colonies of ants which bore into the thorns and make a home for themselves by eating out the soft inner tissue. On the leaf stalks there are honey glands, and at the tip of each leaflet there is a sausage-sh shaped body, about as large as a pins head. consisting of albuminOus food The ants sip the nectar and eat the food bodies and being contented with their lot remain on the plant without doing it any injury.
 When the plant is threatened by any invasion of leaf-cutting ants which would damage it the ants composing the plants army and police force rush out and repel the invaders. Many sim liar arrangements exist in tropical plants.
 In one of the most remarkable of these anti plants the female ant bites a hole in the stem and brings up her brood inside of it. The stalk of each ltdI IS SWOHtu 1l US DdSt ana pears food bodies which are eaten by the ants when they emerge to find them selves. After the old food bodies are eaten new ones are formed, thus keep ing the ants, which are of a fierce dis position, in the plant'e employment Plants of the same species which do not happen to be inhabited by ants fall an easy prey to leaf cutting kinds of ants, which are only too plentiful in the tropics. In other cases the defens- i've ants are provided only with shel- ter in cavities of the stem and va rious naturalists have observed that these ants pour out in troops when ever leaf cutting enemies attempt to attack the foliage.
 The ants which thus defend these are small, but sting with extreme vir- ulence, their small size making them the more formidable The leaf cutting ants cut off the leaves and pile them up in heaps, forming a sort of kitchen garden of leaf mold, upon which they cultivate a fungus belonging to the mushroom family. They SOW the spores of the mushroom and make a pure culture of the fungus, nibbling at it to prevent the development of mushroom heads and thus promote the growth of the spawn.-Chicago Trib- une.
