Mound Building Ants

DR.. H. B. Pierson, State entomolo-
gist, who has been making an extern
sive study of the depredations
wrought in various parts of the State
by mound building ants, comments
on a remarkable instance of the in
telligence displayed by these tiny in
SectS.
THE old scientific query, DO in
sects reason is well answered by the
following actions of the mound
building ants, observed while en-
deavoring to determine the best
method of destroying the destructive
little insects" says DR.. Pierson.
"One of their huge mounds. con-
tanning thousands of nests and mil
lions of ants, was observed in fairly
open space, evidently having been
built there to avoid the shade OF
nearby trees. The eggs of the ant
require warmth for incubation, and
the suns rays, shining down onto

constructed, soon heat the mounds
