Ants Have an UnfaiIIng Method Of
Finding Their Way Back to
Their Nests.

Not only naturalists, but every one
who has watched ants has wondered
how they find their way to and from
their nests. A French naturalist, M.
Coruetz, has been observing ants In
Alser and in a recent issue Of La Ma
ture he tells the results OF his OBJ
servations-
The ant. he says, In its outward Jour
ney. proceeds throughout In the d.
rection initially chosen; on its return
the insect places its body at the same
angle and walks in the opposite d.
rection. The body Of the ant would
therefore act as q kind of compass
needle.
II an ant Is caught at the nest and
transported to a point some yards dis
tant. the insect Is quite incapable Of
finding its way back. 1t runs around
on the ground until 1t accidentally
comes across the entrance to the bur-
row. The case Is quite different II
an ant is allowed to find Its way to a
distance unmolested. On leaving the
nest It places itself in a certain direc-
ton and holds the same, no matter
what obstacles 1t may meet with en-
route, and no matter what side tracks
II may occasionally strike In order to
seize some article of food or of struc-
tural value for its nest.
The return Is effected directly. rap
iolv and without hesitation. even II
the ground covered has been swept In
order to change its relief. The return
"a obviously determined completely by
the outward trip, and an ant which
has left its nest on a voyage OF ex.
nloration finds its way back just be-
cause 1t has made the outward jour-
ney.
