Snake No Match for Ants.

That ants should be able to kill a
snake may seem incredible, at first.
When an enemy is sighted the alarm
is given at once and the whole COM
munity of ants arises in a body. They
set upon the reptile. striking their
nippers into it at thousands of points.
The attack Is made with such enor-
nous numbers that the snake has no
chance of escaping. When the snake
is dead the ants will tear OF the flesh
in small pieces. taking all away with
them except the bones and skin.
