The ant, they tell us is intelligent that we are
justified in trying describe its existence by kind
of allegorieal comparison with human lie
Busy as are these minute little creatures their
females are scrupuously clean. Several times each
day they better their appearance with combs and

They have architects and engineers. They build
houses and bridges to conform with definite plans.
They have their agriculture and horticulture and
have been observed to do'nesticate as many as 5S4

Wonderful is the story of the ant. Some Of our
