HUH more wonderful la the account by lr. Kllrndurf, who writes that he saw snts bridge a saucer of water with a straw. He bad placed the Uga of a cupboard In saucers of water, thua, for a few riaya preventing the ravage of the ant. Finally, however, tiny again gut across to the cupboard and werv as bad as ever. On examination, he f.xi ill straw In ont of th saucers which Is obliquely across the edge of the veaaul and touched the l'g of the cupboard; th aunts were using th straw for a bridge. 'I now pushed th straw about an imh away from th cupboard leg,' writes Dr. Kllendorf, "and Immediate ly a terrible confuiljin arose, In a mo mont the leg Immediately over th wn- tor wa covered with hundrwda of ants feeling for the brldg In vry direc tion with the antomia. running back araln and coming In ver largvr swarms, as though they had communi cated to their oomrades within th cup board th fvarful mlsfortun that bad taken plao.
