ANTS HAVE NEW ROLE IN AFRICil
ARE ENEMIES OF AVIATION

WASHINGTON, April 2s:-"Ants
have assumed a new role in Africa
that of enemies of aviation. Reports
from surveyors of the proposed air
say hat ant hills have interfered
seriously with the placing of aero
dromes.
To understand this phenomenon
one must understand how ubiquitous
is the ant in South Africa, says a
bulletin of the National Geographic
Society which quotes from O commu-
nication to the society by William
Morton Wheeler as follows:
ANTS are to be found everywhere.
from the arctic regions to the tropics,
from timberline on the Hottest noun
tains to the shifting sands of the
dunes n seashores. and from the
dampest forests to the driest deserts.
, Not only do they outnumber in in
! dividuals all other terrestrial ami
mails, but their colonies even in very
circumscribed localities often defy
enumeration.

Dorylinae, embracing the wonderful
driver ants of Africa and the legion
! airy ants of the American tropics. are
highly ~carnivorous, but nevertheless
| succeed in forming immense colonies,
often of hundreds of thousands OF
individuals. This they accomplish by
relinquishing the sedentary habits so
characteristic of the great majority
of ants. They keep moving in long
files through the jungles, capturing
, or killing all the insects they en-
counter. and even overrunning dwell
ings, and, in their search for cock
reaches and other vermin, drivils
out the human Inhabitants. Prom
time to time these strange ants d.
vouac for the night or for n Few days
in some hole IN the ground, or under
, a tree, but o o continue. their preda-
| tory march. Evidently they are able
to remain carnIvorous, and az the
same time to develop large colonies.
only because trey are nomadic n
can thus draw their foo supply from
a large area.
MANY ants are so Unfortunately
fond of this food that they not only
| acquire an intimate acquaintance
with the habits of the adult plant
lice and scale insects, but actually
collect and store their eggs In the
nests during winter in order that they
MAY during the ensuing spring dis
tribute the Matching young over the
roots or foliage of the plants.
Certain individuals, the 'repletes,
of the colony refrain from leaving
the nest and ~foraging for food and
become converted into fagons by as
tending the crop to such enormous
dimensions that the abdomen LOOKS
like a transparent bead. In this con-
dition they hang by their claws from
the root OF the nest chamber and
thenceforth spend all their lives re-
ceiying LIQUID food from the tongue
of tho ~foragfng ants, storing II IN
their crops, and regurgitating 1t to
hungry individuals when the liquid
food supply outside the nest becomes
Inadequate. This is, of course. apt to
be the case periodically In dry re-
gions. so that we find the true honey
ants only in deserts like those OF the
~,,thweste states. northern Mexi-
co. South Africa, and central Aus
tralia."
