ANTS THAT COOK.

They Make Dough, Form Cakes and
Bake Them In the Sun.
The remarkable habits OF the har-
vester ant have long been known to
naturalists. Certain species not only
harvest and store in granaries the
seeds upon which they feed. but ne
tually plant and cultivate an annual
crop of their food seeds
But now a still more wonderful tale
is told of an ant which is common
In Dalmatia. Mcssor barbarus. Ac-
cording to Professor Meyer Of the well
known forestry school near Dresden.
this ant not only cuts leaves and gath
ers seeds. but actually makes bread
OF biscuit.
The seeds are first sprouted, then
carried into the sun and dried, then
taken back to the underground cham

dough. The dough Is then finally
