Ant Apartments

Ants must have been unusually
Industrious to have built a 15-foot-
high ant hill near Darwin, Austria
liza. White ants build such "apart-
ment buildings" of wood, fiber and
earth, held together by a glutinous
cement which they secrete. The
hills are full of tunnels through
which the ants travel.
