THOSE AWFUL ANTS
ARE AT IT AGAIN
For Years and Years They've
Been Chewing Up Smithso-
nian Institution.

White ants are rapidly destroying the
ancient and honorable Smithsonian In
stitution building. They have honeycomb
ed the woodwork, undermined the floors
and eaten holes in the water pipes, flood
ing the building. They have also eaten
holes in the window panes of the glass
cases. preparatory to destroying the valu-
able government collections.
Their latest outrage was the other
night, when they surprised a night
Waterman asleep in his chair, after the
habit Of night watchmen, and began to
devour him before he awoke and fled to
the protection of a bathtub where he
plunged his remaining remains beneath
the water. But the ants, not to be foil
ed, went to the basement, brought up
straw from the packing cases and
bridged the gulf. When discovered in
the morning they had picked the skele-
ton clean and were rapidly devouring the
bones.
Important, if True.
All Of these things would be important
if there were any ants. which there are
not. But little thing like that does not
interfere with the course of newspaper
history. and the ant story has been
breaking into print at intervals for over
half century and causing the officials
Of the Smithsonian all sorts of trouble.
Traced back to its beginning. the origin
of the story is about as follows:
On a bright June morning about 1883
there was no Smithsonian before 1876
q coastwiSe trading vessel from the West
Indies dropped anchor at the port of
Georgetown. Georgetown was then the
court end OIL Washington and there was
a custom house there. That, however,
was before a ruthless democratic adj
ministration had merged the port with
the custom district Of Baltimore.
Ants by the Million.
discharged a broadside of tropical plants
that had been collected for some local
resident. There were a few million black
ants in the roots of the plants. 1t was
a nice, open winter and each Of the ants
had a few million descendants. There
was no swat-the-ant campaign at that
time, or things might have been differ
ent. AS 1t was, a succession Of open win
ters made the ants a terror to all this
latitude. The town council offered a
bounty for them by the quart, and the
city fathers hired colored men with
buckets of boiling fish brine to drown
out their nests. Then there came a hard
winter and all the ants were killed off.
But that did not get rid of them.
About 1850 some enterprising newspaper
space writer dug up the old story and
saddled it on the Smithsonian. Since
then it has been breaking out at inter-
walls, to the annoyance Of the officials.
They say there not only are no ants. but
that there never have been any.
