The old story of ants indulging in imes and play was for a long time iought to be a fable, but grave scienfic gentlemen of our day have seen it; id we Khali have to believe it now, jeer as it seems. The old utory was Id bv Huber. who "saw these ants item bled oil the surfaceof their nest, id behaviDg in a way which he could ily explain as simulating festival >orts or other eauies. They raised lemselveson their hind legs, em brae1 each other with their fore legs, seized ich other by the antenna;, feet, or landibles, and wrestled, but all in iendl'est fashion. Then they let no, in after each other, and played hi?lend-eek. When one was victorious, seized all the others in the ring, nd tumbled overthem like nine-pin*." So much for the old writer. Now lys the new : "The players caught ich other by the feet or jaws, rolled k'er each other on the gr>und like :>ys playing, pulled each other inside le ent ranee of t heir nest, only to cotne it again, and so on. All this was :>ne without bad temper or any spurtiir of poison, and it was clear that all le rivalry was frendly."
