Prisoners in the jails, and bedridden

Not even rat or chinchbug remained

In Liberia and other parts OF West
Africa anthills as large as native huts
are found The large black ant Is the
builder Of that sort of home. Such
anthills are not unknown in this coun-
try, altho they are rarely so large: but
the black ant rarely invades houses.
He is a scavenger. and is protected by
most farmers. At the northern end OF
Greenwood Lake I remember to have
seen two such ant communities with
hills six feet high. When I asked the
manager OF nearby hotel why he
didn't destroy the insects. he replied
that they were OF value in destroying
reaches and in keeping away many
pests-except rattlers, which are foes
OF the black ant, and feed upon them
