investigated the habits Of the white
ant, reports that the soldiers" OF that
species give warnings or encouraging
signals by knocking with their Jaws
upon dry leaves. thereby emitting a
cracking sound. Placing some Of
these ants on big plate and covering
1t with paper, he found that the sol

Moreover, apart from this audible
signaling, there appears to be some

salute the worker ants.
To do this, the insect stands firmly
on its legs with the head raised and
the body slightly obliQue. and shakes

An inch Of rainfall Is the eQufva-

weighs over one hundred and thir-

That seemingly light air and clouds
