supplies them in return with a sweet
secretion which exudes from small
orifices in the segments of the hind
body. 1t is a reddish-brown crea-
ture, with tufts of golden hair,
which covers the places from
whence the sweet fluid springs.
When it wishes TO be fed, it taps
an ant with its feelers, in the same
way that one ant does to another
when asking for food, and the latter
feeds it from its own crop.
The beetle not only uses its feel
ers when duplicating its host. but
also strokes the ants cheek with
its front feet, which Is the pro
cedure OF an ant under these cir
cumstances. The beetle can also
feed itself. as when kept in obser-
vation nests in captivity 1t has been
seen to bite at dead ants and suck
caterpillars and other creatures
given to the ants as food.
This beetle Is not very ant-like
in appearance when examined by
itself, but when II sits among a lot
Of its hosts-and ii Is always TO be
found where the ants are thickest-
ii becomes practically invisible. The
reason for this appearance Is that

concave sides OF the chest" OF the
beetle appears to the eye like the
narrow back OF an ant, and the
rolled up hind body Of the beetle
reflects the light in the same way
as the rounded hind division OF the
Fat red ant. When their hosts
change their nest, or move from
place to place, these beetles move
with them. They can also iy, pos
sessing ample wings wrapped up
under their short wing cases.
The courtship takes place in May
and the female lays her eggs on the
egg masses of the ants. The egg,
which Is very like that OF an ant,
is exceedingly difficult to detect.
The young grub matches from the
egg in very short time, and pro-
ceeds TO feed on the brood OF its
host That the ants feed 1t by
mouth has been proved by feeding
the ants with honey colored red,
when the red color can be traced
in the intestinal canal Of the little
grub through its transparent skin.
The ants also place 1t on their own
grubs and let 1t eat them. The
beetle grub is very like that of an
ant. and though II possesses six
short,legs, it does not use them, and
initiates the behavior Of an ant
grub.
The ant pays It the greatest at.
tention, and when danger threatens
the nest they carry it first into
safety. Il is extremely yoraeious
and deyours large quantities Of the
ants grubs. In nests where the
beetle has been a dweller for
some years a decrease is produced
by this means in the number OF
worker ants. Now. as Is well known,
ants create females by feeding
their grubs on special foods, and TO
try and make up for this loss of
worker ants they turn TO grubs
which they have started TO bring up
as females into workers.
The change. however, Is too late,
and the result is what are called
false females. These are neither
males nor perfect workers, but Of an
intermediate form. which does not
work or bite. These nests are the
centres from which the beetle
spreads to other nests. As more
and more false female ants are pro-
Caced the destruction Of the ant
colony is brought about through the
greed Of the little ants for the in
toxicating juice Of the beetle.

whole OF Europe and North and

these little insects.
II Is equally interesting to find
that even ants have their vices. We
have discovered a family Of red
robber ants. who keep reddish
brown beetles in their nests for the
sake OF the delicious sweet liquid
which these beetles yield. In order
to keep as many beetles as possible,
the ants waste all their substance
upon them, and even feed them with
their young grubs until at last the
extinction OF the ant colony is
brought about.
This catastrophe Is due entirely
to the mad craving Of the ants for
the aecursed liquor secreted by the
beetles.

It is an interesting and appropriate circumstance
that the corridors and legislative halls of the State
capitol have been dedicated for the current week to
the holding Of the Georgia corn show. Beneath the
great dome that symbolizes the unity and the hope
OF the commonwealth win be garnered the trophies OF
new agricultural era; and the buoyant captains OF
that movement will gather to review their years
achievements and to take counsel for future endeav
ors The State does well to recognize the signih-
canoe Of such event by turning over the capitol
for its celebration

Georgia than progress in the affairs of the farm To

the attendant circumstances of the big show. They

which every good citizen may be proud and to which
the public should yield cordial tribute.
