Ants Ht I'lny.
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."
