WONDERFUL MOVING. VINE.
One Of the Most interesting Of Ant
Phenomena on Record.

Near the bank Of the Guadalupe
river | saw something green upon
the ground and. hurrying forward,
found lovely vine with leaves
smaller than those Of the smilax.
Of pale, tcndcr green. The vine
bad Ii- root aDo five feet from the
trunk of towering cottonwood
tree and spread oat on the ground
.ouT or i've inches wide. becoming
a little narrower as it approached
the tree ! could see no stems or
tendrls. So thick was the growth,
and as ! drew close TO the tree saw
that the vine branched just above
the ground and went climbing up
the great trunk and the branches.
1t grew more and more slender un-
I'll far up could distinguish only a
threadlike line Of green.
AS stood intently watching the
delicate, graceful vine, | became
aware that it was pervaded by a
curious, tremulous motion. Then
| saw that the individual leaves
were not stationary. Picking up a
twig from the ground, | touched
one Of the leaves and found TO my
amazement that there was a brown
ant under it abb

upon me with shock. had STUN
bled on a nest Of umbrella ants.
Books had told me that such ants
we're found in the tropics, where
they carried bits Of leaves over their
heads as if TO protect themselves
from the sun. But mere, on the
banks of Texas river, ] had found
colony of them, shading them
selves where there was no sun and
completely hidden by their covering
of green.
Charmed at the sight, 1 turned
back to call my companions, who
were fishing in the river. Within a
few yards met my husband coming
to look for me. He was even more
excited over the phenomenon than ]
was and shouted for the others to
come quickly. On investigation we
found that the spot where the vine
seemed to have its root was really
the opening of the ant nest. The
tiny creatures had by some instinct
learned that the topmost branches
Of the cottonwood had put out their
first small leaves. They had climb
cd the immense distance and had
cut off and brought down their
leaves-to feed their young ones,
we supposed. The ants which is
sued empty jawed from the nest
made a long circuit to the farther
side Of the tree and climbed upl
where they would not interfere viii.
