Ant Families.

One of the most peculiar examples
Of nature protection found in the
world is that afforded by the sugar
ant of Australia. The sugar ant Is
one of the smaller Of the field ants Of
that country. The meat ant, on the
other hand, is very pugnacious crea-
ture, so that there are few enemies
Of its size which dare approach Its
nest. The sugar ant realizes this, so
it seeks protection for its own home
BY building it at the base Of the mound
Of the meat ant Then 1t covers the
nest entrance with leaves, so that they
are hidden from sight. The meat ant
works only during the day; as soon as
the sun sets, 1t goes into its nest and
Is not easily disturbed, while darkness
prevails. On the other hand, the sugar
ant comes out at night and feeds upon
the honey of flowers or the sap OF
small plants. In this way the two
species Of ant do not come in contact
with each other, and the meat ant pro-
vides plenty Of protection for the sugar
ant, while the latter is having its day
time sleep. All of which reminds one
Of the popular old farce of BOX and
Christian Science Monitor.
