DIPLOMACY IN THE HOTEL

"and you have to use diplomacy In

"A man from San Francisco came
to us In the busy season and the only

He was to stay over only one night,

DALMATlAN ANTS ARE COOKS
They Make Dough From Seeds, 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 ac-
tually plant and cultivate an annual
crop of their food seeds.
But now still more wonderful
story is told of an ant which Is com.
mon in Dalmatia, Messor barbarus.
According to Professor Meyer of the
well known forestry school near Dres-
den, this ant not only cuts leaves and
gathers seeds but actually makes
bread or biscuit.
Tho seeds are first sprouted, then
carried into the sun and dried. then
taken back to the underground cham.
bers, where they are chewed into a
dough. The dough is then finally
made into tiny cakes, which are baked
in the sun, then carefully stored for
future use.
From these observations 1t appears
that the art of cookery is not wholly
confined to the human race. All cook
ing is done by the sun, whether In the
ripening of fruit or In the baking Of
bread in stove. The heat obtained
from fuel is simply stored up sunlight
set free.
The Arab and the native Mexican
speak of ripe fruit as fruit which has
been cooked in the sun The ant has
somehow learned the art of sun cook

the grain probably taking the place OF
