ANTS PROVIDED WITH LIGHT
Curious Phenomenon That Han for
Some Time Attracted Attention
Of Scientists.

There has been observed a curious
phenomenon connected with the nest
OF the Brazilian white ants or termites.
These. when seen on the headwaters
OF the Rio Verde. seem to be covered
with tiny stars, which give the nest
the aspect OF a miniature tower bril-.
liantly Illuminated When the nest is
struck with stick the lights go out.
only to reappear again little by little.
Castelnau, in the middle OF the last
century. reported a similar spectacle
near the city Of GoyaZ. According to
his account. the lights were produced
by an immense number OF small phos
phorescent larvae. which withdrew in
to the galleries of the mound when
an attempt was made to capture them
II has been pointed out by several
authorities that these exhibitions are
probably confined to some particular
species or to some special occasion
OF conditions of termite life. since
many scientists have spent consider
able periods of investigation in Brazil
without seeing them.
