Ants Guard Trees.

The CecrOpias are remarkable trees,
very widely distributed throughout the
tropics Their slender trunks are
crowned with four leaves at the ends
of the branches A few active ants
run continually along the branches
ana leaves, but if the tree is shaken
slightly an army Of ants rush out by
small .apertures, ready for a savage as
sault on the intruder. THIS is the
most terrible guardian that the tree
has retained TO protect it from its
most formidable enemy, the "leaf
cutter" ant. The defenders rarely
leave their retreat, where they live on
small whitish egg-shaped bodies about
one. twelfth of an inch long, known as
Muellers corpuscles.

Real Test cf Friendship.

The lOftiest test of friendship-un-
derstood as companiOnship-is the
power to do without it. And in this
world of external confusions and sep
arations, there is often such need
We do not yield the friendship, but
must forego the companionship. Then
comes the proof Of our capacity for
sacrifice, our loyalty to the highest OF
all. We turn our faces from each
other, but never our hearts, and walk
our opposite ways. Gradually the
heavens widen and deepen above us;
we find ourselves breathing new, yet
strangely familiar atmospheres, sweet
with the breath of the old affection
we, see e,ourselves-each sees the other
met Cncc more in Presence which
has never forsaken us-the presence
of one who puts his cross into the
hands of all holiest friendships saying
Conquer by this!" There is no dan
ger of losing love, here or hereafter,
if it is only real; for love is the one
indestructible element in the universe.
