Not many people realize that some
kinds of butterflies make enormous

thousands of miles, although why they

somewhat of a mystery.

miles of ocean is matter which 1t Is

resting on the water, although this

Ants Sense of Direction

Naturalists once thought that ants
returned to their home through the
forests of grassblades, weeds, sticks.
ETC., by scent, following their own
track back. AS matter of fact an
ant seldom goes back over the out
bound trail, and there is considerable
evidence that it relies more on the
mysterious general sense of direction
than on sight or any other particular
sense. Our Dumb Animals.
