They stand in awe be fore ftery-red pinnacles etched against the blue sky. They marvel at those fantastic rock formations—the gods of mythology, \wlth their human shapes, some of their hats, most of their spears, and a few of their cathe dral spires, towering about them In red sandstone. They are unaware of an ancient, dramatic "civilization” living under their feet. Yet here. In the sandstone ridges, dwell creatures who might themselves have,stepped from living myths—crea- ures with yellow heads and large, IiN translucent bodies, who are, per- haj^, the most self-sacrificing • beings known. *> T(filesTwys and girls are fat- tened \J>,V\witche8. so that they may later beenr^n with gusto. In this race, dwelling ui darkness in the Garden of the Gods, Children are-fed enormously, so that a f^\y rRay become overenpa- clous and hang lirsundergronnd cellars for months, for yeaYs, as living casks bf honey., This would be terrifying were these creatures hutnan. Instead, they are honey ants. Honey ants are unhuman\ind unlike any other Insects in their translation of themselves Into honeypots\ They gather a honey not unlike that oKbees and store It In round, thin casks that let the beautiful amber of honey slm through. But the casks possess llvint trunks, living heads, living legs. They hang by living claws to the cellar roof, and open a living spigot when an Im biber comes to drink. , For this, chil dren are fed to enormous size and chambered In eternal darkness. Here and there, across the tufts of .Xrama grass and wild.sunflower heada, gleam little mounds of red sandstone and bright-colored quartz—craters cut Into rock. The red, loose stones rolj out on all sides to a diameter of about thirty Inches, with each mound rising to threo or four Inches, pierced by a large central entrance hole. Outside, all looks simple; but Inside, a descending shaft runs vertically for a while before carrying off sharply to a long gallery and other shafts, forming galleries under, galleries, all running In the same direction. Then, seldom far from the surface, usually up or down a few steps from a main gallery, single or In suites, are the wine cel lars, the honey chambers, Yhe for ever-homes of the swollen members of the race. ™ Wond*rfyj| Honey Chambers. The honey chambers where they hang are virtually death chambers, except that life flows from theta freely. The severed casks of honey In the burial grounds term a nightmare thing, cask rolled beside cask. But beairty exists In the ants’ refusal to touch a honey cask after Its owner has died. The lit tle crammed honey-pots stand Idle and untouched, once they are rolled Into the cemeteries. Be an Alice In Wonderland In such a home. If you will. Come down that wide centra] atalr, having ducked Into the rabbit hole, passed sentinels at the gate, and given the essential salute. All Is dusky dim; only that glimmering round of daylight above.

There are little soft sounds as the great globes qtir, shift an arm or foot, sway a tittle nearer to a neighbor. “Careful! Don’t dare lean. You might break me!” And one turns a pointed yellow head toward another’s The globes are not all clear amber. Queer dark planes streak them. Their trans lucent part Is Inner skin stretched to balloon proportions pushing apart the dark planes of the outer body, forming islamis on a globe map of strarigq world Seas. Suddenly an ant enters to drink. She looks like These hanging ants, yellow headed, yellow-waisted, but* she wears no inflated balloon. Her antqnnae lift Inquisitively. Already the foretaste of -honey is In her mouth. She stands almost erect, climbs to the hanging ant, leans to Its little close mouth. Open, please.” Obediently Its mouth qpens Up comes’ a clear drop of honey, pushed up by some Inner move ment, to hang-a moment, glistening, on the cask’s lower mandible, before drop ping into the waiting ant’s mouth.

Before the ant leaves she (hdntlly wipes her mouth against the back of her hand, smooths down her back\ialr, then trots off, groomed, well fed. Another ar>t enters;another, another Each climbs to\a chosen sphereI'^says, “Open, please,” Nwlth that leaning of mouth to mouth and the mouth opens and up comes the mmey drop. But suppose they enter to deposit honey rather than receive it What then? Painfully, slowly cause so laden they are casks themselves, the ants the changing casks, place mouth to mouth. “Open, please,” and, with an tennae held back out of the way, let drops of honey form on their mandl* bles to enter the obedient casks. This new honey Is almost white In Its freshness. As long as drops are there to fall In, the little spigot month holds open. Then the emptied ant, re lieved, turns away; and the globe, clinging to the roof, gleams larger, more bulbous still, with thO added content It scarcely dares draw a full breath, move an arm, or shift a leg for fear this new weight and full ness will make It burst or fall, Developed/Into Honey Cask*. Poor little doomed creatures! What determined ahch a fate? When young, they resembled other ants. They had the same twojstnmachs—one private, the other for/communal use.

How they begged, their pale mouths open all the time! Now these are honey caskk Late dusk In the Garden of the Gods. The sandstone gods are cold and dark. They have had their play of light all day, while the red mounds of the ants stayed quiet, with gates, closed. Seemingly all Inside were asleep; yet few ants slept, being busy, most of them, wftb underground t as lie. Now ants push out of that round tubular bold so fast they cover the - mound. If this Were daylight, no red rock would shine. Yellow ants are everywhere, by hundreds, by thousands. A ring of sentinels begins pacing the outer edges of the mound.. Others guard the gate, their heads thrusting up. like soldiers with, bayonets. Still others move about the narrow'platform surrounding the gate, while one ant, then twenty, then a whole &>lnmn of ants, move off over the ridge, preparing for e inarch.

Depending on what kind of par ents they have, handicapped children are classified Into three groups by Dr.. John Ruhrah, author of “The Parent and the Handicapped Child,” In Hygeia Magaaine. The crippled child may be neglected, or he may be spoiled, or he may be treated sensibly and correctly. The parents of the neglected child will feel outraged that such a thing as a handicapped child has been wished on them. They are liable to worry a bit and then tjiey shut the child out of their lives ahd emotions- as far as possible and feel no respon sibility Tor hla preparation for life.
